the thing is that 3.5/5 isnt even mediocre, 2.5 is

game reviews have such goddamn inflated scores, including that one

if you got a 70 on a test in school you'd be barely above failing, so 3.5/5 is mediocre as hell

why should we consider something still passable if it can't even get half of things right (2.5/5)?

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1784334872/4-dimensional-operating-system

"Many times I have thought that to myself that computers would work better if you could just "add a two" in binary code. Because of advances in technology, it is now possible to do even more than that. My name is John Jenkins and my invention is called Busco Quadnary. This difference between my invention and traditional binary is that you can program in four dimensions right out of the box. This has tremendous implications for 3d graphics and gaming. Today, we use what are called Z-buffers to simulate 3 dimensions. With the use of 3d engines, games are able to deliver a quality approximation. What would make this simulation even better, however, would be if we could allow four dimensions to be built into the computer, at the machine language level. This is what I plan to do. "

some dude decided to make community interactive ms paint cyoa webcomic

it did pretty well that he did it a few times, and it eventually resulted in problem sleuth, where he kept the milieu of a cyoa, but dropped the community suggestions

problem sleuth is kinda dense and long but is p good


then he made homestuck which was in the same vein except its impenetrably dense

also homestuck took like 7 years to finish when allt he others were like 1 year tops?

to be honest it would be pretty nice to have a laptop shell to shove something like a Raspberry Pi or all those other boards in to make it more mobile, but this thing seems to require things mounted on a completely different sort of board.

i don't think intel onboard gfx can run anything other than like lovely indie games, unless they've gotten really loving good since HD3000 or the project assumes people will be fine with playing games at like 5FPS?

intel onboard graphics are pretty good these days tbh, but you'll notice that all those games are a) running at like 1280x720 because that's the panel and b) games notable for scaling down well with slow graphics cards
