Absolutely despise those. The moment it turns spring/summer they get everywhere and try everything to get inside your house.

Super Hot and Beat Saber don’t cause motion sickness. If you have no idea about how the different kinds of VR movement affect nausea and haven’t developed any VR legs, then that’s absolutely on you. Especially given that Alyx remains accessible to people prone to motion sickness by giving you the option for teleport locomotion and snap turning itself. I know my limits and while I can use smooth locomotion, I still use snap turning. Don’t blame the game if you don’t know your limits and it’s essentially your first VR game in which you don’t stay in a single spot.

Wait, I’m paying 0 money instead for 0 money? But 0 money is 500% times 0 money. Why am I paying 5 times more for this “sale”???

Yes, universal. Many websites, apps, communicators etc. implement a flavour of TeX. They will differ in some more complex features or commands, but your
$a^2+b^2=c^2$
will work. And that’s the point. For most times, you’ll just want to communicate some simple concepts.We could do better, for sure. For example, there’s been some development around Typst, which tries to resolve many of those quirks, annoyances, and inconsistencies. While I’d love to see it come for, for now TeX is something that I take for granted, which perhaps better encompasses my thoughts than the word “universal”.

I just love how universal it is. Sure, it has its flaws, but its strength is how many different applications use it. Once you know how to write TeX, you can express any equation you want clearly and understandably, an opposed to trying to write it with Unicode. Bonus points for how easy it is to add TeX rendering to the web with libraries like KaTeX (my personal favourite) or MathJax. I was able to add TeX support to my blog in 10 minutes.
I’m a bit of a sucker for TeX as might be apparent from my infodumping. If anyone’s as passionate and doesn’t know of it yet: You should try the texnique.xyz game. It’s a timed TeX typing game. I can get up to 70-80 points in it fairly consistently :D

Now all I want is inline TeX.

I’ve never seen anyone use the first one in typeset equations. At most handwritten fractions. Second one is useful when you want to explain more clearly what’s happening between now and the other side of the equality. In this case it’s useless, though.

I’m a zoomer. As far as I’m concerned, this series is none of our business. That’s gen alpha territory.

only keep those protections as long as they maintain the game’s availability Didn’t you just repeat what I said

I’d much prefer companies to be forced to release the source code for multiplayer servers once they decide to shut them down. There will always be fans who’d keep it running.

Love her humour. It’s impossible not to cringe while watching but at the same time it’s captivating.

What I despise most in when SMS is not just optional but forced upon me as “backup” to TOTP. “Lost your authenticator app? Send an SMS instead.” How about no?
