Starting at 0 makes sense in low-level languages like C because it’s not really an index but a memory offset. Higher level languages like SQL or MatLab correctly start at 1 because they abstract memory management away. Other languages without manual memory management, such as JavaScript or Python, are incorrectly starting their arrays at 0.

- Comment on $250 Analogue 3D will play all your N64 cartridges in 4K early next year 6 days ago:
They can’t do anything about this. Analogue already made similar products for the NES, SNES and Game Boy.
- Comment on That didn't last long - the Junk Store for Steam Deck has its Steam page removed 1 week ago:
It’s called Gaming on Linux. Not Gaming in General. However, they are not a Linux gaming publication, as they mostly talk about Windows games whose Linux compatibility is irrelevant; that stopped being news since 99.9% of Windows games work without issues.
It would be like Windows Central making an article about every Switch release that works on emulators. Sure, they are allowed to, but it’s not what their publication is about.

Most games run on Linux if we take compatibility layers into account. What’s the difference with IGN if they talk about all games that run on Linux?
- Comment on That didn't last long - the Junk Store for Steam Deck has its Steam page removed 1 week ago:
I want to read about it, hence why I don’t read GoL: because most of their articles are irrelevant. I don’t care about a random indie game running on Linux; this isn’t news.
- Comment on The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing 1 week ago:
No they have not. If they dumped their own cartridge or had the ROM somewhere in their archives, it would be identical to one downloaded from the Internet. The whole controversy happened because someone saw the iNES headers in whatever release of Super Mario Bros was new at the time. Those headers are added by all NES cartridge dumpers, and the creator of this format developed the NES emulator used by Nintendo in Animal Crossing for the GameCube.
- Comment on The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing 1 week ago:
I would. They would have been found out already if it were the case, and they already proved they can develop their own emulators.

The new Zelda works on Ryujinx, where is the GamingOnLinux article about it?
- Comment on That didn't last long - the Junk Store for Steam Deck has its Steam page removed 1 week ago:
Then what’s the point? They could do an article about every Switch release, since they are technically playable on Linux with emulation. Or about Xbox Cloud Gaming using a browser.
This is general PC gaming news, not gaming on Linux.
- Comment on That didn't last long - the Junk Store for Steam Deck has its Steam page removed 1 week ago:
Gaming On Linux is terrible. They have an article on their front page right now about a game called Fractured Alliance… which doesn’t have a Linux version.

- Comment on Why don't we have cool vending machines in the US? 1 week ago:
I’m in France. There is a gas station near me with three vending machines : drinks, pizzas, and CBD.
The pizza one is mostly fine. The grid protecting the screen was torn apart. Tbf it was annoying. The drinks one is damaged, and is now protected by a metal cage. The CBD machine is completely destroyed.
All publicly available objects in France end up like this.
- Comment on Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you' 1 week ago:
No, that’s for all content:
and to download, access and/or stream (depending on the content) and use GOG content.
Which they define as:
1.3 Also, when we’re talking about games, in-game content, virtual items or currency or GOG videos or other content or services which you can purchase or access via GOG services, we’ll just call them “GOG games” or “GOG videos” respectively and when we talk about them all together they are “GOG content”.
- Comment on Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you' 1 week ago:
2.1 We give you and other GOG users the personal right (known legally as a ‘license’) to use GOG services and to download, access and/or stream (depending on the content) and use GOG content. This license is for your personal use. We can stop or suspend this license in some situations, which are explained later on.

GOG has the same drawbacks as Steam without any of the useful features. They should cut down on their “owning games” lies and spend time improving their platform instead.

- Comment on Pray for me lads, Imma about to rawdog this without back ups 2 weeks ago:
So many Linux problems are solved by using NixOS, it’s amazing. Immutability? NixOS. Atomic upgrades? NixOS. Whole system rollbacks? NixOS. Versionned system settings? NixOS. Impermanence? NixOS. Multiple versions of the same program installed at once? NixOS. Containers? NixOS. Multiple hardware profiles on a single installation? NixOS.
At this point, I think the only thing remaining is a Flatpak-like sandbox.

I recently updated an old laptop from Ubuntu 16 to 24 with no issues whatsoever. Do not start with Arch if you don’t have any Linux experience yet.

You’re not missing much. There are no new features, and a bug related to the year 2038 was introduced.

- Comment on [Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday 3 weeks ago:
Almost nobody buys a new phone every year. And if a phone is your only computing device, buying a high end one isn’t a bad idea.
The $700 console is overpriced relative to its power and has pretty much no games.
