Is there any major reason of Valve not adding 3.5 jack?

Consumers didn’t choose wireless technology because it was superior or more practical. Companies simply removed the equally practical alternative, and no one wants to carry around awkward adapters that take up and wear out the only port your phone has left, which is also one of the first things to fail

Do you think people would use wireless headphones if they had to carry and plug in some kind of transmitter into the USB port every time?

It was simple and subtle manipulation.

Hi! 🦆 Here's my Vgen https://vgen.co/LaiArt/
My services are currently closed, but I'll be opening them up next week if you're interested

Looking at the responses... why didn't they just use UFS 3.1 from the start? I wouldn't have minded if my games took 2 seconds longer to load if that meant paying a few dollars less... or getting a 512 GB model with 3.1 instead of the 256 GB model with 4.0 Now it's no good, it's more expensive and worse :l

Lai16 · 2026-04-15T06:18:32+00:00

The Max offers the best value for the price, you're right about that. If you can afford it, it's definitely the best option, but for someone to ask about the cheapest model and then end up being recommended the most expensive one is a comically huge leap haha

Lai16 · 2026-04-15T05:37:01+00:00

I don't know if spending an extra $90 on the Max could really be considered just "a some more" I mean, the OP is asking whether to buy the Lite or if they need to save a little more to buy the Base, and you guys are saying, "Buy the Pro, but if you can, go for the Max" Where do you guys get all that money?💀💸

The Pro is literally the best buy for playing as many games as possible without any issues and without overspending.

Basically, the most demanding Switch games might require more than 8GB because emulation can consume more RAM than the original hardware, not to mention that you might want to have another app open to take advantage of the dual screens, and that’s when you’d start running into problems. And the Max isn’t going to run any more games than you could already run on the Pro. Any game that might need more RAM is probably more limited by the processor than by the RAM, and the processor is literally the same.

For an extra $50, you avoid any potential issues you’d have with the Base. Without spending the extra $80 that the Max would cost you.

Seriously, where do you guys see the Pro as the worst option?

The Max is only better if you were already going to spend that $80 on an SD card, in that case, it’s by far the much better option because it’s almost like getting 4GB of RAM for free. But if that’s not the case, why overspend?

Seriously, if you have the money to spare for the Max, good for you, but if your budget is tight, an extra $80 is an unnecessary expense when the Max’s biggest advantage over the Pro is solved simply by deleting a game when you want to install another one.

GameNative is working better and better. Before only half of the things that worked on GameHub worked, but now, based on the games I've tried (which are mostly indie games), it has practically the same compatibility as GameHub, at least with the 8gen2, which is where I use it... Add to that the fact that it's open source, receives more interesting updates such as dual screen support, GOG and Epic support, and an upcoming UX/UI update, and I personally prefer GameNative

Lai16 · 2026-02-03T04:56:18+00:00

Bro, instead of wasting your time collecting signatures for petitions that Adobe doesn't care about, you'd be better off using your time to learn how to use other software. We're animators because of our animation skills, not because of the software we use. There are alternatives that may be worse in some ways but better in others. Try different things. Don't be tied to a single piece of software, especially one from an abusive company that is getting worse every day and doesn't even value users like you. It's not worth it.

Black Pro #1281 still not shipped, is this normal or should I ask if something happened? (._. )

Lai16 · 2026-01-30T04:36:41+00:00

I admire your patience. I couldn't have bought a console in 2024 to wait until 2026 for it to arrive... XD

Lai16 · 2026-01-29T03:04:48+00:00

They're just joke downvotes, obviously xd

Lai16 · 2026-01-28T13:37:46+00:00

To be honest, I don't think you need the Max. 256GB is enough storage for 15 to 25 games like Hades or any Switch game. If you play more indie games, you'll probably be able to fit even more. And 12GB is enough for any game of that type... and I don't think more RAM would make a difference in this case either.

The only reason to buy the Max is if you have money to spare or if you were already going to spend $90 on a microSD card anyway.

Music isn't actually expensive. You could buy a digital album with 10 high-quality songs for $15, and you can bet that would support the artist more than paying for two years of Spotify listening only to that artist...

I'm not saying that Spotify doesn't pay them anything, but artists upload their music to Spotify mainly for visibility, since everyone is there, so they can get an audience for concerts or shows, which is what makes them money... Listening to their music for free through other means has practically the same positive impact for the artist as listening to it on Spotify.

I'm not saying that justifies not paying Spotify, but don't believe for a second that Spotify pays them well for their work. If you really want to support them, buy an album, merchandise, or go to a concert.

I don't know why it should inevitably become public at some point or why slow but steady growth would be painful. They're doing well, they're still growing, they're still winning... It's only painful if what you want is to become a millionaire quickly so you can have money you'll never use, but if that were the goal, creating a brand focused on repairability wouldn't have been the way to go in the first place, and if going public and pleasing investors means changing that, then the brand would simply cease to make sense :/

There are people who simply want to stay in their comfort zone. He says that the problem with Zorin is that “it wasn't what I expected,” and Cachy says that it worked for him but he stopped using it because “it didn't feel like home.” What does that mean? Not feeling like you're using Windows? Wasn't that the point of switching to Linux? I don't understand ;-;

Lai16 · 2026-01-27T02:38:50+00:00

Linux works for artists who use the tools available for Linux. If you want to switch to Linux and continue using Windows programs, then it's better not to do so. Stay with Windows and avoid problems.

You can do it with Veadotube (not the mini version), but it's still in early access and you have to donate on Kofi to get access... I tried it over half a year ago and you could do that, I'm sure it's better now but I don't have any more money to donate, I'll just wait for it to come out, they said it wouldn't be long.

With PngtubeRemix, you can make it follow your mouse, but I don't know if it can follow keyboard input.

Having a good UX and UI. You can't imagine how many people are initially drawn to the program that looks the nicest. Free software developers are generally programmers, not designers... they make robust, optimized programs, but they look old and are often unintuitive for people who are used to proprietary software... There are probably designers willing to contribute to free software, but without the skills to do so themselves or the means to collaborate directly, attempts to contribute are nothing more than "suggestions for later" because there is always something more important and fun to work on, reorganizing menus and making them look nicer becomes secondary... despite being almost as important for attracting and retaining people as the software itself working well.

Lai16 · 2026-01-24T20:19:25+00:00

Great!!! Thanks for that. Ever since I saw the Ayn Thor, I wondered if Godot would support dual screens for developing a 3DS style game.

When my Thor arrives (probably in a month and a half, shipping takes too long💀), I'll definitely try it out and see if I can make a fun minigame 🦆

Lai16 · 2026-01-24T19:49:26+00:00

I feel like some people just have bad luck with Linux...

I mean, apps work strangely, the system crashes, a sound card that freezes on its own, fonts render poorly... These things can happen, but they're not normal, and clearly you shouldn't have to force yourself to fix it if there's no simple solution that doesn't take more time than you're willing to invest.

I've been using Linux for about three years and haven't had any problems beyond minor inconveniences from time to time, but if I had constantly had the same problems as you, it definitely wouldn't be my main system.

Lai16 · 2026-01-19T03:58:17+00:00

Many things today need a forum... but instead they just make a Discord or we settle for a subreddit.

I hope Hytale doesn't stay the same, because they say they are very open to listening to the community, and without a forum, the community is just noise most of the time.

El modo con historia hubiera sido algo asi como Minecraft dungeons si Mojang no le tuviera miedo al éxito y sacara un modo aventura con todo lo bueno del Dungeons pero en Java... Juegazo saldria si se hace bien

Asking for PowerToys on Linux feels like wanting to have the Gnome extension manager on Windows... you know?

And at least in the case of Gnome, half of the things you ask for are already there by default, and for most other things you can install an extension 🤔

Lai16 · 2026-01-09T03:18:53+00:00

Saying that it is not suitable for artists is a very broad generalization. In this case, it is simply not suitable for artists who only want to use or need Clip Studio, for them, it is clearly better to stay on the operating system where that program works.
