THE MISSION IS A FAILURE, TURN THE GAME CONSOLE OFF RIGHT NOW

Certain parts of the US (typically further southeast) anything over like 5% is exclusively in ABC Stores, a completely separate building and company from grocery stores.

I guess Luke doesn’t make a whole lot of sense but I don’t think Han would either.

See, public variables sound easier until later you discover that more logic needs to happen when this variable changes. Maybe some logging or queueing up a database operation or something. Now you only need to change these function bodies instead of writing new ones and finding all the places that public variable was used in your code.

Something about named bit flags like that are just inherently satisfying to write imo. It’s also where the bit wise operations make the most intuitive sense.

Man, they quite literally don’t make them like this anymore. I miss them.

That’s… what the subscription cost is for. For the developer to make a living.

To be fair, this is not a windows exclusive problem, especially in the age of smartphones and flatpak.

For the conversion of Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen? That was the main point of these, the algae does that and is actually even more efficient at it than a tree. Trees do have other benefits hence why they shouldn’t be replaced, but these should go in places where trees can’t.

To echo what some other people have said, these algae tanks absolutely should not be used instead of trees. If I see a tree get chopped down and replaced with one of these, I’ll be sad and angry. However, these can go in places where trees can’t go, like rooftops. And you don’t have to either wait for a tree to grow for a decade or take a tree from somewhere else to install one. It also serves as both a seating area and can mount a solar panel on top. These and trees both have their place and should both continue to be used.

I mean, is it discriminative in the purest sense of the word? Yes. But people discriminate against people as intimate partners for way shallower reasons than their gender identity and it’s considered acceptable. Think height, weight, muscle mass, sizes of various body parts. Is it discriminatory? Technically. But it’s not a hate crime any more than the other reasons I listed above are in the context of choosing an intimate partner.

Not to mention one big factor that’s important to some people: the ability to have children. As of when I posted this comment, the only trans people who can have children are the ones born with a female reproductive system who haven’t had it surgically removed. This does not make any trans people less valuable as people (thinking that would be transphobic), but it does make them incompatible as intimate partners for people who do wish to have children. At least at the time this comment was posted. I’d love for this comment to be invalidated by new medical breakthroughs at some point in the future!

Same here, might just be because I learned with Object Oriented languages but C++ syntax just gels well with how I think. That could just be autism though.

Well there’s a few things for early at home games, for one the instruction booklets were actually worth a damn, often containing the story, tutorial, and more. Also, size was at much more of a premium, so since instruction manuals were a thing, it was considered a waste to have all of that stuff in the game itself. I’m sure there are exceptions but that’s the general idea.

Much as I lament the loss of good instruction manuals, it’s understandable why they went away in light of why they were necessary before.

Some of them are a bit oversimplified. For example, the so-called “fear of long words” is actually specifically supposed to be referring to an anxiety about misspelling or mispronouncing long words, which is a slightly more sensible and relatable phenomenon. Then there apparently some that are just made up, like apparently the palindrome ones.

Yes, but until we have a systematic change to remove tipping and pay them a livable wage, not tipping results in them having less money. So either don’t go to the restaurant, or tip. With the knowledge of the system that we have, Going to the restaurant and not tipping is a scummy move in the US. Doesn’t matter who’s at fault for the situation being shitty.

Peter Dinklage didn’t actually post this. The original picture is of a family who let a three year old decorate a tree. Someone took that picture, made the Peter Dinklage account and posted this posing as him. Allegedly. I think it’s kinda funny, but with that background info maybe in poor taste.

God damn, I love how relevant and memeable this game still is to this day.

Not gonna defend YouTube here, they should not have done this. HOWEVER I do care about creators on YouTube and so I actually purchased YouTube premium. It’s actually a pretty sweet deal when I consider how often I actually watch YouTube, and the fact that I actually can get a lot of use out of YouTube Music, personally. I’m not gonna say it’s a good deal for everybody, but if you actually watch any YouTube content creators regularly that you don’t contribute to via other means, it’s worth considering to avoid ads while making sure they can still get paid.

Terraria is less survival sandbox and more metroidvania. It garnered a lot of surface level comparisons to Minecraft (randomly generated world, building a base, caving required to find ores to smelt into bars to get better tools/armor), but Terraria has all of that as ways to progress and grow stronger instead of just being things you can do in the sandbox for fun/survival. It’s less about survival and more about finding ways to increase your DPS/Mobility/Defense to fight bosses. Although you can still flex your creativity to make visually appealing bases (and you want to have multiple, one in each non-evil biome and one underground, trust me).
