I'm sorry but thousands of reports out of 20+ million units sold is a drop in the bucket.

Visual Studio, like most game developers.

I don't think it's valid criticism. If something repeatedly fails and you keep doing it, is it the fault of the game or of the player?

You were downvoted but I agree. The new Tomb Raider reboot is a good Uncharted clone but it's not a good Tomb Raider game IMO. They simplified out all the things that made the original games inte…

It's not common at all. More than 20 million consoles have been sold to date. If it was a common thing you'd hear about it a lot more places than Amazon reviews.

There is no chance of that. It's a Sony game.

Most of the randomness you mention isn't actually random, it's just stuff you haven't figured out yet. For example, weapon damage isn't random at all, but it depends on various fac…

Only if you don't bother exploring to open up shortcuts, or if you insist on killing every enemy every time you respawn.

The C++ used in Doom 3 was basically C with classes. Even Carmack says it's not his best work since he wasn't proficient in it and didn't take the time to learn it correctly.

Raspberry Pi.

I've been hearing about it for years but it's still vaporware AFAICT.

The only difference between that an a PC is that the PC stores the firmware blob in a ROM chip while the Pi stores it on the SD card. Both require it to boot.

That's because completely free means different things to different people. Does it include the firmware/bios? Are you only concerned with what runs on the CPU?

Zero.

The previous model already had 4 USB ports.

They said they'll continue making the older models as long as people are buying them, so not anytime soon. The only model they have stopped making thus far is the original model A, which wasn…

The C1 has a ARM Mali GPU, which is just as close as the rest of the GPUs available on ARM SoCs. The RPi GPU is the most open in that market in that it has some documentation and source code available…

In addition to what others have said, the C1 isn't actually more powerful than the RPi2. They should perform about the same in terms of CPU. The main thing the C1 has over it is the GbE port.

Retail consoles only run code signed by Sony. When you become a licensed developer you get special consoles called devkits that can (among other things) run unsigned code.

How would it lead to that?

You could already do that. LLVM has been the PS4 compiler since day 1. You still can't do anything with it if you aren't a licensed developer.

I believe at that time, Linux only ran on x86.

Does it mean that if you do the free upgrade, once the year is over you'll have to pay to continue using it? Or does it mean instead that the upgrade will be free for the first year, and if you w…

I was talking about input and rendering. If you do rendering before handling input, you add at least an extra frame of latency.

Yes, I'm pretty sure. That's the way I learned, from the included documentation. I just checked in a Windows 3.11 VM I have laying around and it's definitely there, though it's shi…

Is it me or is he doing the input and rendering in the wrong order?

The version that came with MS-DOS definitely had extensive help on the language as well as the editor. It was an interpreter though, and couldn't generate executables like the commercial version …

Regardless of how huge technologically it was, whatever that means, it failed because it was slower and more expensive than contemporary x86 processors.

That was on Windows, now I'm on Linux and it's the other way around. It won't start on Chrome, and it runs at 4 FPS on Firefox.
