  • This is why scientists are mocked. You get some guys from materials science saying ‘hey we can do this cool thing with beach sand and electricity’ and they don’t bother talking to the physical scientists about ocean erosion and why their idea does t make any sense.

    They would tell you that beach erosion is inevitable. Either you let it happen, or you put a bunch of hard structures there instead. Then, the waves either undercut the hard structure, leading to more needed, or the wave reflection scours the beach and takes all of the sand out to sea or elsewhere along the coastline. Meankng no more sans next to you - just a concrete cliff.

    Also sand is one of the most limited resources with actual cartels working on stealing it - and you want to use it as a primary building material? Instead of just a contributor like in concrete? What?

  • A lot work, but some of those are with an asterisk.

    E.g., dyson sphere program, a factory game, is listed as playable. But, there’s no steam cross-play - so you can’t have the same save file on your PC and deck. And that game is computation heavy so I doubt if it would work well. Or Fez: I tried launching a few different ways, but it hard crashed. I’m sure there’s some way to fix it, but I didn’t bother to find out.

    All that being said, I haven’t touched my gaming PC in months because the pause / resume feature is so convenient for getting gaming in, 15 minutes at a time.












  • Am I right that android/iOS apps require much more maintenance than PC programs? I can load up a copy of WinZip from 2000 and it would work fine, but anything that hasn’t been updated in a few years might be hidden on the app store for not working with my version.
    I think that’s the bigger issue. Developers can’t leave stuff up and just let it sit, because you need to maintain a developer acct to have anything listed, and os updates break things
