  • Minecraft is deceptively hard on cpu and gpus for what the game appears to be. It looks simple, but that simplicity comes at the cost of very high computational loads due to how dynamic and interactive everything is. They add in new features pretty frequently for a game I bought 12 years ago. Those features aren’t free and they stress the system even more. Be happy it is playable at all on a phone - it’s nice that they added in tuning parameters to let your phone be capable of playing it instead of saying you need the newest RTX4090 just to get 30fps




  • I eat shrimp unpeeled. Learned to do it from Vietnamese restaurants. It’s not bad! It saves a shitton of time peeling them, the spices are usually on the outside so you get more flavor, and the shell gives a nice crunch. I don’t eat the tailfins tho that’s dumb. They’re hard, pointy, and have no meat.

    That said… I advocate for finding ways to incorporate insects into western diets. I think we need to start a program to breed them for purpose though. Just like how bananas used to be small and full of seeds but were bred to what they are today. Breed a grubworm or something to be better eatin’ and grow them in huge quantities. But no way am I eating a roach.

















  • A heads up display that could overlay useful information onto the world around you would be amazing.

    • Provide directions.
    • Point out businesses that are hard to find in a crowded city.
    • Give real-time measurements and placements for construction (this is already a thing).
    • Pokemon Go

    The problem is that the apple vision is huge and bulky. They need to shrink it down to the size of big nerd eyeglasses. Microsoft did the same thing with their whatever it was called. I played with it a few times at different tech demos. It was garbage from the start because it was heavy, uncomfortable, and the refresh rate was intolerably slow. Apple’s is a slight improvement in a few categories but it still completely misses the point of what AR should be.
