    What do you want to see from Dale Studios?

    I don't want to be discouraging, but it's a long road to go from simple batch games to a multi-OS RTS game written in C++. Maybe you should start with a project that's a bit more simple and then, after a few years, think again about which of these two HUGE projects that even take a single...

    News from all fronts

    Enriched Uranium is a poor choice. I hope ED is still able to switch to Deuterium/Tritium fusion, or else I'm going to get the the PGS. And if the Pyra gets to use fusion as an energy source, I will play "Boktai: The Sun is in Your Hand" on a GBA emulator as soon as I get the device, just for...

    The other "Pyra"

    I actually once got a video recommendation from one of ED's videos to this thing. And to some Indian musician and a very, very weird Linux console that died a few years ago. One of these Steam Machines trying to bring PC gaming into the living room, for whatever reason you need an extra computer...

    Exactly. This and the fact we don't know much about TILER and have no clue if it's gonna work without slowdowns and high latency makes me still want to have the Solomon rotator. But it would be amazing to have the choice between no picture compression (if TILER does that) and no latency. I guess...

    Another portable.. The 'Creoqode'

    WAY to big for me, but I like the concept, especially the screen looks cool. I hope they are successful, but I won't support them. For basic coding I've got my Gamebuino.

    Origin Stories (of your alias/moniker/pseudonym)

    I learned Latin in school and liked it a lot. Agricola is the Latin word for farmer and one of the very few that is declined like most other words ending with an A, but still male. Also, it's the direct translation of my family name "Bauer". I'm just happy I didn't use my old WoW username...

    What will you use your Pyra for?

    There are so many things I want to do with a Pyra, I can't even write them all down and I'm sure my focus will change after about half a year having the device. So just a few things: - learn Bash and make some scripts for home automation - replace my phone (hopefully) - use it as my main...

    Any Morrowind fans here..?

    Weakness to common disease can really work wonders in that regard, and most players I talked to recommend becoming a vampire after you've reached a certain level and done this quest anyway. I personally always stayed being human/elf/lizard person/weird cat. To my knowledge vampire quests are...

    Any Morrowind fans here..?

    My main character's "clutter area" by the way: Isn't it beautiful?:D And I've still got an area to put my more usefull itemsxD Oh damn, I played this game way too much... Never played as a Werewolf, and the Corprus healing was way too important to me to let it wait a while - so I didn't get...

    A few Colors and Packages (with a poll!)

    I think he meant the size difference of the USB A ports, look closely on the backside of the prototype in the video: The 2.0 port has more metal around the actual female plug. It really looks a bit weird. I guess ED couldn't source similarly looking ports for USB 2.0 and 3.0, but I really have...

    Any Morrowind fans here..?

    @Taeko Yeah, I read about that, sounds interesting. But nothing will ever come close to the awesomeness of Morrowind. And with mods like Tamriel Rebuilt I personally don't need total conversions, this one just expands the base game of Morrowind with multiple times the area of the base game. I...

    Any Morrowind fans here..?

    A lot better to use a short Slowfall 1 spell, that way you can safe the scrolls. I actually use an enchanted ring with Feather 100, Jump 100, Fortify Acrobatics 100 and Fortify Strenght 100 spell on it, each effect for 1 second or so, and enchanted boots with constant Slowfall 1. These 4 effects...

    Splicing Original XBOX cable with female USB

    The original Xbox did not have standard USB cable, but a proprietary standard with 1 more contact. So you won't be able to make an adaptor or something with a normal USB plug, it just doesn't work. You could, however, use a USB 3.0 connector and use one of the additional lanes to make a custom...

    Games that you HAD TO finish at some point

    @PowerGod I get what you mean, and the fact there weren't any quest markers like in Oblivion/Skyrim was also a feature I enjoyed. I recently finished The Witcher 3, it's so dumbed down when compared to Morrowind... I'll also put more thoughts it in spoilers:

    Uses for the Cortex-M4 cores on the OMAP5?

    Is this Frosted OS Unix compatible? Can one run Bash and Vim on it? What's better about it than µClinux? These links are so hard to read if you're not a developer and if your native language isn't English...

    GPD Win (x86 Computer / Palmtop)

    So did you actually calculate 25% return rates with the Pyra? I've seen some videos where people just saw the price in US$ on your shop an said they want to order it, do you expect rates this high from users who don't get that this is only a partial payment? I mean the pre-preorders already...

    GPD Win (x86 Computer / Palmtop)

    I love the retro game! I'm always win in that. I agree with @vcoleiro1 , but the idiots are probably more visible if you own a shop than if you're surfing on forums. On the other hand, 25% returns is a shocking number, I never would have thought it could be that high. But then again I'm shocked...

    This may be a stupid question and completely derailing the thread, but: What's the difference? I seriously don't know.

    GPD Win (x86 Computer / Palmtop)

    @EvilDragon I expect even the dumbest Windows user to either understand minimum system requirements or to deinstall games that don't work at all on the system, though of course they leave behind a lot of data in the user folder. Yes, a few ones will be even more idiotic than I can imagine (that...

    A few Colors and Packages (with a poll!)

    I actually think the smaller box is looking better and represents the mobile aspect of the Pyra more. The bigger one just looks flashy for no apparent reason, that doesn't fit the design choises of the device itself as I think it is primarily useful and at best secondarily good looking. That's...
