Absolutely, I don’t disagree with that.
I was just sharing my anecdote as a counterpoint to your minor rhetorical point at the end, because at least to me, it’s funny since eating ice cream outside at -10 degrees is a ridiculous thing to do.
Though, I will note that while ice cream won’t melt at those temperatures, at atmospheric pressure it will still sublimate. So, in that way you could still lose your ice cream without intervention, it would just take a while.
- Comment on Photons 1 week ago:
I have eaten ice cream outside when temperatures were sub-zero Fahrenheit. It’s not something I do regularly but it’s happened and will probably happen again.
If I want ice cream, then I want ice cream. No other considerations matter.

I think the word you’re looking for is “racist.”

Yes. The flame is a cloud of gas and particulate heated to the point that it glows. It will reflect light. Just not a lot, and it’s also emitting enough light to overpower any reflected light in most conditions.
And of course the candle itself reflects light.
- Comment on I wanna ROCK 2 weeks ago:
But they still do. It might just be overpowered by the emitted light.

- Comment on Is it time to start a campaign against kernel-level anticheat? 5 weeks ago:
I think it should also be noted that the games industry is not audited for security to the same degree as a lot of other industries. So vulnerabilities may not be found until years after launch and then go unpatched indefinitely because the company has already moved on to the next thing.
Hell, one of the older CoD games had an RCE vulnerability that as far as I’m aware is still not patched.
Plus, major publishers like EA are now pushing to create their own kernel-level anticheat in-house. Why should anyone trust them to create a secure piece of software that runs with the highest permissions possible when they can’t even be trusted to create stable, functional games?

Or better yet, giant tardigrades that are roughly the size of a large dog/small wolf for the purpose of having an effectively immortal sled team.

The cinematic trailers for OG Guild Wars.

The typo kind of makes sense though. The Gods are etymologists who study the language of the bugs. It’s why they understand prayer. Entomological etymologists.

Just include a glossary of formulas for figuring out stats/chances/whatever in your game. With clearly labeled variables. Then throw a reference to that glossary in your tooltips/helpful popups.

That song goes hard though. Felt bad ending it.
- Comment on Pocketpair Confirms Which Patents Nintendo And The Pokemon Company Are Suing It Over 2 months ago:
Yeah, there was a great video on YouTube I saw a few days ago that went over why Sony is backing Pocket Pair, why Nintendo is making this case about patents, why that’s a massive risk for Nintendo, and why Nintendo is willing to take that risk.
It largely seemed to come down to the Nintndo-Sony rivalry that started when Nintendo backed out of the SNES era deal to create the PlayStation. Nintendo is trying to crush Sony’s potentially viable competitor to their largest franchise and are making the case a patent case because that’s the only route they can pursue. If they lose, Nintendo stands to lose those patents.

Khorn really stepped up his game once we started rounding the edges on our PC cases.

Just be sure to do it in binary. You gotta squeeze all of the value out of those phalanges.
- Comment on Why are laptop adapters so much larger than phone adapters of same power rating? 2 months ago:
The equation to determine watts is P=VA
If you have the same voltage and a higher amperage, then by definition you have a higher wattage.

The nostrils are connected to the throat through the sinuses as are the ear canals. Topologically making them all part of the same mouth-anus throughole.

We would also scavenge fallen fruits and berries that were at least partially decayed. It’s most likely how we discovered the intoxicating effects of alcohol.

In most jurisdictions battery involves touching someone while assault is the threat of immediate danger.
- Comment on Corporate greed is killing RuneScape. What do people play instead? 3 months ago:
I still occasionally fire it up and just walk around some of the hub cities.
- Comment on Corporate greed is killing RuneScape. What do people play instead? 3 months ago:
I’ve tried getting into GW2, but just couldn’t really get into it.
Doesn’t help that I fell of contact with all of my old guild mates who were supposed to be switching over.
- Comment on Corporate greed is killing RuneScape. What do people play instead? 3 months ago:
I don’t know about nowadays, but back in 2007 when I got bored with Runescape I switched to Guild Wars. Great MMO. Kind of dead playerwise now, but the servers are still up and it is soloable.

Currently, that is the case. Update 7 was supposed to have mod support for consoles as well, but that got delayed to a future patch. It’s coming though.
