    Veganism

    I’ve decided to go vegan and also eliminate added sugar based on some spiritual advice. I have no idea where to start though, so I thought it might be good to have a thread for everyone to share advice on the subject. So far I’ve learned that vegans don’t eat peanuts, and that instant coffee is...

    stb_image and Pyra

    I've noticed that the latest version of SDL_image uses stb_image by default to load png files, instead of libpng. What is this newfangled nonsense and is it in any way superior to libpng? Will it even work on Pyra?

    War in Ukraine

    I miss the World News thread. @TrashyMG locked it during the 2020 US presidential election, and it hasn't come back yet. Anyway, it looks like Russia might invade the Ukraine before the Super Bowl. Darn it, Russia, our troops were all planning on watching the Super Bowl. Don't be a party pooper.

    Tokyo Olympics 2021

    According to polls, people in the US are most excited to see gymnastics of all the sports at the Olympics. They even said gymnast Simone Biles is their fourth favorite athlete period, behind Tom Brady, Michael Jordan, and Lebron James. Man, I had no idea gymnastics had gotten that popular...

    Windows 11

    So, apparently Windows now includes Android apps through Amazon app store, and this is a big enough update to warrant a new number. Are we excited? *holds breath*

    Has anyone here ever gotten one of those home DNA tests?

    I was thinking it might be useful to be screened for all the genetic disorders. If I'm genetically predisposed to hypochondriasis, @Null can't fault me for it.

    Legal question: Releasing software anonymously?

    Just wondering, is it legal to release software anonymously, and if not, what happens if you get caught? Asking for a friend, of course. I would never actually complete a project. :p

    Pyra Dumb question, but what's the latest version of C++ that Pyra supports?

    I used to know the answer to this. I mean, I guess if someone wanted to, they could make a C++20 compiler for OMAP5, but I don't think anyone has yet.

    Was kinda thinking about getting a tablet.

    My last one was a Nexus 7 2013, which I destroyed in a fit of paranoia in 2018. Thing was dated anyway. Speaking of dated though, apparently Android 10 is out, but all the tablets I can find are on Android 9. Should I be concerned?

    PC games recommendations 2019

    I'm feeling more optimistic about getting a new computer next month, because I found out that there's more money in my account than I thought. I think I should be able to wrangle something with dedicated graphics. This thread isn't about PC shopping though, it's about PC games shopping. What do...

    Apple Arcade

    https://www.apple.com/apple-arcade/ "Games that redefine games." Anyone else feel like they're trying to redefine the wheel a bit much? One of the games is literally called "Lego Arthouse". It's a games subscription service for Apple devices that boasts over a hundred exclusive titles, with...

    E3 2019 - The show must go on.

    You know, when even Sony doesn't care about E3, it's hard to get my hype up. Even my Switch doesn't have me that hyped, since I need a new left controller for it. :( EA already had a conference, there are conferences from other companies today and tomorrow, and Nintendo will have a Direct...

    Oculus Quest - All-in-one virtual reality

    I've been seeing reviews pop up for Oculus Quest, and it sounds pretty good. Anyone tried it yet? Oof, the website says you need an iOS or Android device to set this up. Not a barrier for most people I know, but it may irk members of this forum.

    Playdate - that monochrome handheld with a crank

    So what happens when the publishers of Firewatch make a handheld with two action buttons, EDIT: a black and white screen, and a crank? For one, the Katamari Damacy dude makes a game for it. https://play.date/ The main gimmick here being not the crank, but the weekly delivery of a new game...

    Antstream: Retro game streaming

    Yep, that's right, someone came up with the Google Stadia to defeat Evercade's Xbox. https://www.antstream.com/ Why download a 64KB game when you can stream it at more than 64KB per frame? Remember, internet is like a muscle that you must exercise regularly, lest it grows weak. Lemme give...

    Advice on cooking and grocery shopping?

    I go grocery shopping in two hours, which is short notice to ask for advice, but I do go twice a month these days. Any idea what a guy who's looking to cook and lose weight and isn't allowed to have sharp knives should get? I live in a one bedroom apartment with a rather small kitchen, but I do...

    Sporty Sporting Sports Thread

    Really, I just wanted somewhere to mention that Tiger Woods is only two strokes back at the Masters going into the final round. Everybody knock on wood, cross your fingers, and hold your breath. :-#
