There has already been a lot of discussion on the move towards game key cards, and I'd like to talk a bit more about the cost aspects.

As games get larger it seems natural enough that Nintendo is pushing for faster storage technologies to reduce load times (e.g. MicroSD Express for external storage, faster game cards).

By now, most of us have seen how expensive MicroSD Express cards are versus their slower counterparts. To avoid game card loading times being majorly worse (they are still somewhat worse it appears [1]) than digitally installed games, the new Switch 2 game cards are also faster and - which should surprise no one - more expensive, presumably costing developers around $16 each

As a short disclaimer, I should mention that I am both pro-Libadwaita and am in general rather tolerant to inconsistency in application theming. The below is therefore not meant as a critique or even to question the goals behind Libadwaita as such, but merely to clarify some unknowns I have been unable to find answers to elsewhere.

We are currently in a transitional phase towards Libadwaita, and several GNOME applications are yet to be fully ported to Libadwaita or even GTK4. As such, there is as expected some inconsistency between the applications that have been ported and those that haven't yet.

Additionally, the clear stance from GNOME is that there is no intention to provide an officia

Hi everyone,

I really enjoy Battle Line for its elegance and depth, and have long thought of recreating that experience using a regular deck of playing cards - partly to make it possible to play this whenever I have standard deck available, and partly as an interesting exercise in its own right.

When designing (adapting?) the game, the goal was never to create a one-to-one copy of Battle Line, but neither was it to create "a slightly worse Battle Line". Instead, I wanted the game to be able to stand on its own (in other words, I don't want to be thinking "I wish I had Battle Line with me" whenever I play this).

The card combinations have been specifically designed to have a nice probabili
