Games should include a menu option like "I haven't played in a while, give me a quick 5 minute refresher on the controls"

Bilbo looking at his phone top

on bottom is ChatGPT

After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it?

You're absolutely right โ€” you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

I have a physical steam link (not the app) connected to the same router as my pc (both wired ethernet) and that works pretty well.
Tried the steam link app on my smart tv, but since it's low-end there was quite a delay because of its processing power.

The official key art for Dune: Awakening, showing three characters in the foreground: one is wearing a stillsuit with a ranged weapon, to his left is a Harkonnen character showing his back and the cape he is wearing. To the right is an Atreides wearing their distinctive armor set and wielding a melee weapon. Behind them are the vast dunes of Arrakis, with a combined arms battle in the background where ground vehicles, ornithopters, and ground troops battle for control of the spice blows. Overlooking it all, a trimouth sandworm emerges from the dunes. In the sky, the two moons of Arrakis against a suitably blue sky. 
Text on the image reads "Survive. Expand. Control". Below is the logo for Dune: Awakening. At the bottom, over a black frame, it says "Coming to PC early 2025".

Gamedev tricks used by developers ๐Ÿงต origin thread In 2018 I started a thread on Twitter (later renamed X ๐Ÿ™„) where I shared some game development tricks devs used to get around get around bugs, software, hardware or time constraints. Over time I added more stuff to that thread, and thereโ€™s some cool information there. Since I now replicated that thread on both Mastodon and Bluesky; it got me thinking I should probably put this on my own blog, a single post, which is easier to read, also in case those websites are ever taken down.

I've duplicated my gamedev tricks thread in a couple different social networks; I thought it was time to just bundle all together in one blog post, easier to check all, and if some site goes down my blog stays! www.david-amador.com...
