This reminds me a little of butter tea, which is drank in Tibet and Central Asia.

Nah, she’s just ready to blow that computer away at a moments notice.

Option 1 is unacceptable to me because it means giving up, and at that point we might as well nuke everything to speed up the process of ending the suffering that is life. And if that’s the outlook you have, I genuinely feel bad for you.

The more extreme form of antinatalism, efilism, actually advocates for sterilizing the earth to prevent animal suffering as well.

Much of the US doesn’t even have mandatory paid sick leave, let alone vacation.

EDIT: Americans do effectively get 12 weeks of unpaid leave, but only if they or a family member gets a “serious” illness. That only applies to businesses with more than 50 employees though (along with a few other caveats).

If you think that gameplay is just meaningless busywork in between cutscenes then sure.

But I am of the opinion that games are not movies just because they are on a screen. They are much closer to tactile or kinetic sculptures.

The Soviets tried something similar.

Just so you know I didn’t draw this, its a fairly popular meme image.

I don’t like the notion that if “being yourself” means people don’t like you, you must be acting like an asshole.

A lot of autistic people, for example, have to put on a mask just to function at all in society. Which is something that can be mentally and emotionally exhausting. When someone like that hears “just be yourself” it can be really frustrating, and the conflation of social skill with mortality I think causes a lot of harm.

As an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure I recommend those tiny rubber stoppers you see in the photo. They have a peel and stick part that goes under your case which retains the plug on a strip of rubber. That strip might wear out in a few years and rip, but they cost almost nothing to replace (and in fact come in packs).

Phones used to have these things built in, then they stopped in the smartphone era because they didn’t look as sleek and futuristic I guess. Now, if you have a case, it once again makes hardly any difference to the appearance.

Car engines, for probably the past 100 years, have always been advertised based on their peak power rating, not what they can produce continuously. Cars are not designed to have their accelerator pedals floored for hours on end, nor is this even possible to do, as you’d eventually hit a curve and need to slow down.

This is especially the case for high performance vehicles, which usually have more demanding maintenance requirements just from normal operation, let alone from being abused like that.

The person that came up with that phrase is in charge of a game series with dialogue that makes your skull physically reform into a fedora.

I see

I don’t know how Micro works, and I don’t actually use emacs day to day, but as I understand it emacs works a bit like:

• When you press a key in emacs it invokes a Lisp function that takes as arguments the text buffer that has focus, the parameters of the ‘window’ into that buffer, and the cursor position in that window.
• This is the case for any key you press in any context, even for typing normal letters.
• A ‘mode’ in emacs is a set of bindings which associate specific keys with specific functions.
• ‘modes’ can be stacked on top of each other, with higher modes being able to intercept key presses before they reach lower modes, and changes / manipulate lower modes (I think?)
• All of the editor’s functionality, such as ‘search’ or ‘undo’, is implemented in that way.
• All of this is completely customizable, so pressing a key combo can be made to do virtually anything or manipulate the rest of the editor’s systems in any way.

Does Micro work anything like that?

The gnomonic projection renders all great circles as straight lines. Though of course that doesn’t show the entire earth at once, so it’s kinda cheating.

But yeah, you can’t map a 3D object onto a 2D plane without distorting it in some way, you just need to pick the distortions that interfere the least with what you’re using the map for. As they say, all maps are wrong, some maps are useful.

I wouldn’t lmao

I just think the headline shouldn’t sanewash him

Evidence linking Tylenol and autism not definitive “but very suggestive”, says health secretary Kennedy.

Did you mean TotK instead of BotW?

I’ve played Gmod since probably around 2007, but IMO this is a bit disingenuous.

EDIT: also, I’m not a Nintendo lover, actually pretty much hate them for issuing takedowns of fan games and let’s plays.

The physics in Tears of the Kingdom is way more stable than Havok. In Gmod even putting a bunch of cans inside a crate can make them start vibrating or cause them to fly out at a million miles per hour after you try picking them up. Walking around on a moving physics object is extremely jank, and can cause you to phase through it or just be killed instantly by mysterious physical forces that appear out of nowhere. In particular, the puzzles that use chains (which have collision with themselves and other objects, unlike Source engine ropes that phase through everything), are way beyond anything you could do reliably with Havok.

In addition to that, TotK takes Gmod’s mechanics and uses them as the basis for combat encounters and puzzles, inside an actual campaign with a narrative, environmental design, music, etc. That sort of thing adds a lot; just look at Portal vs Narbacular drop.

And yeah, I know that there are community made gamemodes for Gmod that use its physics mechanics for all kinds of stuff. None of those are a 70 hour long professionally designed campaign. That’s not to say that I think TotK’s campaign is strictly ‘superior’ to that community made content, or should be viewed as a substitute for it, but I also don’t think the opposite is true either. These are simply two different types of experiences, and neither replaces the other.
