Ah, so that’s probably why YouTube is also down (at the time of this comment)

Valve seems to be putting a lot of resources into this area for their Steam Frame

I think it's more revealing of how they've been playing the long game

It falls under the category of "incremental games" that are generally simple but addicting due to the dopamine release from watching those numbers go up

I think in a lot of cases it's a means of monetizing an app where everything else is essentially free/full-featured without being behind a paywall

On the other hand, some companies really value design, or perhaps even find value out of good design :)

Thanks for sharing, again - I was just curious. That's a fair statement indeed :)

Out of sheer curiosity, could you name this game?

Not necessarily like Canva, but more similar to Figma is Penpot, if it may interest you:

As someone who also has a 2019 Shield TV Pro and is waiting for the "next best thing", one resource I've been keeping my eye on is androidtv-guide.com:

Although it isn't open source, Webflow seems to be the current most popular thing for that specific niche (low/no-code platform for designers)

New comment by kidfiji in "A redstone PC in Minecraft to play Minecraft inside Minecraft (2022)"

kidfiji — Thu, 13 Jul 2023 22:30:42 +0000

This isn't running in real-time, per note from the creator in the YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BP7DhHTU-I):

---

Would like to clarify a few things:

- This build does NOT run in real time. It runs on MCHPRS, the server developed by StackDoubleFlow, which speeds up the game roughly 10-20,000x while running redstone. That brings the framerate to a much more reasonable 0.1fps, so the long timelapses in the video only took 9 hours to record in total.

- The world download currently in the description is non-functional for two reasons: in order to prevent content thieves such as Steveee immediately stealing it and making a profit, and also because Uwerta and I are currently improving the GUI system to be more similar to normal Minecraft (there's some dissimilarity in how items are moved around in the inventory). I'll update this comment when we release a functional download.

- If you want to learn more about how it works, a brief explanation video is in the description, and that one has links to all the documentation including flowcharts for the GPU and other hardware, and the entire (commented) program itself.

Love the per-device configuration. I was using Scroll Reverser, but it looks like I'll be using this now. Thank you :)

On a much smaller scale, this is the same reason why distilled water is widely not recommended for use for espresso machines. Its lack of minerals will attract metal ons from internal parts of the espresso machine, which can cause corrosion.
