It has very strong lock-in which is what makes it so remarkable that it doesn't treat users like shit. Imagine if EA or Microsoft had that kind of lock-in, well, we don't have to imagine for the latter, but you'll get nothing but constant strangling of the golden goose to pad some PM's stat sheet. Valve used their leeway to do things like improve linux support which benefits everyone even if they go evil later.
I'm sure it won't last forever but even if they aren't perfect, they are doing better than 99% of companies would do in the same position. Maybe the resulting goodwill actually helps in the long term, what a shocker.

I asked Claude Opus to make a Vulkan Minecraft clone and it did it for the most part but there’s a weird z-fighting issue and I still can’t fix it after trying 10 different prompts so I need to sift through the code and fix it myself. Hopefully renderdoc will give me an easy answer.

>Has a hacking minigame ever been a good idea?
It's ok if you give an option to skip the minigame, like in Bioshock

>>107733969
On another note when I run in debug mode I get 500fps with predictable lag spikes during chunk generation, in release mode I get 6000fps with no lag spikes. I wonder if debug mode in windows/visual studio is that stingy or VMA is working differently as there’s 200mb more ram usage in release mode. I’m not going to spend much time on this project, I just wanted to see if opus could do it.
>>107733988
Nope. Opus will create an entire project structure and edit the visual studio files with the necessary includes, preprocessor macros, and filters. It’s surprisingly smart. It also generates the GLSL shaders with a compile.bat file. Then it generates a readme with instructions on how to add the remaining externals (glfw, glm). Everything practically just works. A few days ago I asked it to create a foundation for a 3d Vulkan game engine for which I will post the code here soon. It went above and beyond too. On top of the foundational stuff (logger, camera, renderer) it made a math library, physics system, ecs system, and even a scripting system. It did what would’ve taken me months if not a year to learn. This is all through GitHub copilot agent mode in visual studio.

nta but lmao "bitch ass normie taste" seethe more dumbass. music streaming has virtually everything. yeah maybe if you're extremely autistic and just "need" to have 30 copies of the same album because you just really have to have the 1987 Japanese CD or whatever the fuck.

I listen to tons of obscure non English stuff and there's literally more available on Spotify than music trackers, it's easier and faster to use, and Spotify gives me great recommendations constantly.

I got psy opped into joining music trackers because of a bunch of dumb fuck autistic boomers like you insisting it was totally necessary and worth it. Waste of time.

>>107732507
>literally who downloads music?
i used to think like that too but once you really dig into RED/OPS library you will find plenty of good stuff that you'd never discovered because they never been on streaming sites.
i still use spotify simply because i share a family subscription with my parents and i'm not the one paying for it. spotify is way better when it comes to rap music which is what i listen to the most but RED/OPS is way better for older music and everything japanese. it really depends on what you listen to but if you only ever use streaming sites you will never know what else is out there.

On Debian 12 it did not crash at all, on Debian 13 it has so far not crashed at all. I didn't get accurate performance measurements with and without because in my opinion Gnome is fairly unusable without dash-to-panel, so I didn't even try.

>servo motors are bad
what a ridiculous assertion. in the year of our lord 2025 you can literally slap any old BLDC motor on your FOC drive and position control it no sensors or minimum rotation speed required. If precision is required, cheap rotary magnetic encoders can be put on anything with a rotating axis to give however much precision you want, and torque-controlled FOC will meet it effortlessly

The problem is mostly batteries and form factor. You can already do nice, precise, strong articulated hands by copying nature's homework on tendons but the retards trying to grift investor money with cheap demo robots generally don't hire the people who put any effort in their mechanical design
