Java but in an alternate universe (with Microsoft's trademarked curse^tm^ that follows everywhere). Auto-properties/properties to reduce boilerplate, extension methods, simplified exceptions (I don't care about being explicit about checked/unchecked exceptions, I just want to throw em and catch em whenever I feel like it! Then again, other languages don't want you to care about any of that either), Linq and access to the wonderful world of the GAME DEV ecosystem (Unity, Godot). Anything other than that is just splitting hairs at this point.

I used to play it on mobile on lunch times during my middle school days, this was back when it first released or something... I've never gotten past the 3rd level (or 2nd if I remember correctly), so I recently decided to give it my best shot and tie up loose ends... And so, those ends have been finally tied up and I can finally rest easy... Took me a total of 11.5hrs lol.

worth mentioning that a FOSS clone exists of this game called Open Hexagon:

might try to beat it one day lol.. if you thought Super Hexagon was insane, wait till you see what OH has in store...

Cool find! Wish I had something like this back in high school.

Fellow EndeavorOS enjoyer here, I love the hand-holding it does for you at the beginning (calamares installer, pick whichever DE that tickles your fancy, access to AUR and other goodies by default), but then basically beyond that point, you're on your own. The fact that it's Arch based also means that 9.99 times out of 10, you can always consult the Arch Wiki for any issues.

It's like an Arch Linux starter pack that gives you the option to take off the training wheels at any time lol.

I use LLMs to generate unit tests, among other things that are pretty much already described here. It helps me discover edge cases I haven't considered before, regardless if the generated unit tests themselves pass correctly or not.

If It’s as good as astrobot then I don’t think 10bucks is all that crazy either.

... is not in agreement with

If the only point is to advertise the functionality of the console, charging any sort of money for it is not productive for what it should be achieving

...and it doesn't look like a contrapositive either.

Astrobot is actually a fully-fledged standalone game, in which the PS5's features are seamlessly baked into the core of the gameplay, rather than the core of the game being just the PS5 functionalities. The only other game I could think of and one you could compare it to more accurately is Tearaway (back when it was a PS Vita exclusive), because that was also a game that made use of every core functionality the console for that game had to offer.

The Welcome Tour is literally just PS Vita's Welcome Park but with a few more mini games, the latter of which is free.

meanwhile, the 3 (incl. me) remaining PS Vita Welcome Park enjoyers:

If I can skirt the conversation to talk more about the soundtrack and less about the ambiance (which I will), then Dicey Dungeons. I deliberately stall battles just to hear more of the OST. Tempting Fate is my favorite track.

I was hoping it could be embedded, but this is a nice-to-know, thanks!

i'm clueless about torrents and Lemmy, can you embed them in posts/comments somehow? The closest thing I could think of is using a Framatube instance, but I don't think you can embed them

Random general question, how do you feel about file hosting? When posting, I tend to avoid uploading media larger than like, 5MB, just cause I know that the cost of storing said media can get exorbitant very quickly and I wouldn't want to be part of the burden.. I'm not able to donate just yet. Knowing this, I am currently on the fence on whether I should create a "gaming clips" community.

That said, it's nice to be able to embed media from other sources (despite it potentially not working natively for mobile platforms if I'm not mistaken?), which got me thinking: it'd be nice to have some sort of preference list of image/video hosting hosts that users can add to or remove from, and uploading directly from the comment/create post view would use the first working file hosting domain from the list.. Just spitballing here.
