Someone else in the comments mentioned it is about 40% faster than the AVX-2 code and slightly more than twice as fast as the SSE3 code. That's still a nice boost, but hopefully no one was relying on the radically slow unoptimized baseline.

I avoid keyboards with the rotary knobs since I always use an amp and audio interface, but I get the vibe. All the knobs and dials make me feel like one of those sound mixer guys.

GTA 2 was fantastic, especially multiplayer over LAN on PC. It unseated a lot of our usual FPS or RTS games for a while as the game of choice.

Then again, what do I know, I still think Zelda 2 was awesome.

I've definitely heard some sort of frog/toad make the "ribbit" sound, but I'd say the German "kwaak" is probably more common. The various Asian sounds seem odd to me though. I suppose it is entirely possible the frogs makes different sounds there.

Fine, let's go with BotW was a bad Zelda game and I strongly disliked it. I tried to like it and played all the way through because I was stubborn, but in the end I think it sucked as did my friends (they all quit long before I did). I wish I hadn't bought it or spent time in it.

Also, I disagree that it changed the open world landscape. H:ZD released before BoTW did, did the open world stuff better (IMO), and still doesn't seem like it was radically novel at the time other than the story/setting. The only truly novel thing about BotW was that it was open world in a Zelda game.

Yeah that game was weird as fuck, I had it too.

Surely this has to be just a silly temporary marketing stunt like when IHOP changed their name to International House of Burgers. I did see some Franks Red Hot flavored goldfish at the store though, and those are clearly not targeting kids.

I have seen them twice in the last year, but it was only a single bug each time. A sad lightning bug trying to find others to mate... I didn't see another one around it.

Your list of games would definitely rank higher for me as well (assuming Divinity 2 means Divinity: Original Sin 2). I'm sure there are a ton of games in there I've forgotten that would also quality.

Try "lcd tv non-smart", "lcd tv hospitality", or "lcd business tv" or any variations thereof.

I'm shocked that BoTW was considered the top game of the 2010s. I felt BoTW was mediocre over all on top of not feeling like a Zelda game at all. As far as open world games, I felt that Horizon: Zero Dawn was more compelling in both gameplay and story and I'm still not sure I'd rank it as a top game of the decade.
