Same for OpenRCT2, but they're both not official entries in the series.

Atari hasn't released anything positively noteworthy for RCT since 3… which turned 20 today if you're in Europe.

"Yes, we ruined one of Sawyer's series, but what about a second one?"

I've played the game shortly hoping for it to be a mix between Isaac and Noita. However, the game failed to grab my attention for longer, as the wand building mechanic is way inferior to Noita, though the custom wand properties sure are nice, and remaining loadout and options were worse than what I remember from Isaac.

All this doesn't obviously mean the game is bad, apart from maybe the cringe story. However, measured against the giants - I'd also include Enter the Dungeon here for presentation - it currently falls short.

But do they make the American models? Doubtful.

What would be the utility for someone, who cares about privacy and currently uses Signal and email for communication?

Your organization can't host a federated Signal server, and email isn't private.

Is Matrix anything good already, or is it something with potential that's still fully in development?

My previous organization has used it for over 4 years without issues, however mostly limited to text.

How tech savvy does one need to be to use Matrix?

Simply using? Not very much, basically like Lemmy.

Wenn man irgendwann mal eine Immobilie kaufen will, muss man mit mindestens 80000 Euro Eigenanteil starten. Da muss man entweder erben oder sparen (unter Letzterem verstehe ich auch Geldanlagen auf dem Anlagenmarkt, da gibt es ja Sparpläne). Wie soll es sonst irgendwie funktionieren?

Blue screens were much more common back in the day, I guess nowadays they're equally stable. Windows current issues are the deliberate choices Microsoft makes

That's a normal architecture though, all consoles of that generation and at least the one before create the image digitally and just in the last step convert to analog so that the TVs from that time can display an image. The Dreamcast isn't an outlier in that regard. It made sense to use these components; the strength of the Dreamcast from my point of view was that it was a very complete package at the time. Sure it couldn't play DVDs, but it was quite earlier than the PlayStation 2, which came in more expensive with subsidies from Sony who as a member of the DVD Consortium (later DVD Forum) and movie studio had a vested interest in broadening the install base for DVD players. Plus Sony manufactured the drives themselves, which have them the numbers, there was no such option for Sega at that point in time.

Anyhow, I liked the Dreamcast for having 4 controller ports like the N64 instead of 2, and I also liked the selection of games because it was very arcade-y, but I had no arcades close by. But I also enjoyed the Sonic Adventures back then (not sure I still would though), Shenmue and Headhunter.

Personally I wouldn't call the Dreamcast revolutionary, even though it's my favorite console is all time. My biggest gripe with it isn't the lack of a DVD drive, this is completely irrelevant nowadays with SD card loaders, but the rarity of Ethernet adapters because of the piracy issue. But it was a good package (I still can't believe how good SoulCalibur looked back then, it agreed really well which is rare for 3D games from that time) for a fair price and a library that I really enjoyed.

I see, though in fairness, most users probably didn't use their consoles on screens with VGA input.

Anyhow, nowadays, if you're willing to shell out the cash and mod your Dreamcast, it too can have HDMI output ;)

Maybe you could try to rationalize the 480p thing as an advantage today, but at the time screenshot comparisons looked a generation apart next to the PS2.

Which 480p thing? GameCube, PS2 and Dreamcast all output at 480p. Some games on the PS2 can upscale. But they render at that resolution.
