  Just a note that raw mushrooms make people sick all the time and are a very common cause of his poisoning - especially wild mushrooms. You can get away with it with super common crimini mushrooms but some people are allergic even to that.

  You can only plead the 5th while you're in court. Prosectors are free to use all the shady crap you did that they have evidence of in building a case against you though.

  Yep, no one claimed otherwise.

  I do the same but I use years instead.

  Because too much of SC2's design catered to the progamer crowd that liked that kind of stuff. They made some things easier from an APM standpoint but intentionally added more things to make the have not APM intense.

  They really bet wrong on how popular that approach would be.

  It's kind of an inversion of "don't look back", which is thousands of years old.

  It was literally the first result on DuckDuckGo for me FWIW.

  That's a reputable org.

  Yeah, the industry as a whole has been moving away from these types of processes for the last 15 years. There are exceptions where it can still make sense but they have significantly higher risk profiles than video games do.

  You can keep your grubby ITIL process far away from me.

  Not everything needs a change management procedure, calm down there Satan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there two different genres both called ARPG?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  IMHO, worthless though it is, I don't get why Diablo-likes are called ARPG's. They have lots of A and no RP. (They are Gs tho.)

  Because in 1996 experience points, leveling up, character attributes, and magical loot were all closely associated with RPGs. Over the intervening roughly 30 years those mechanics have been adopted by games all over the spectrum. However the genre-name for Diablo-like games stuck due to convention.

  Also Diablo being called an ARPG predates Dark Souls by 10 to 15 years.

  When all of your factory tooling and off the shelf parts are in imperial, you use that. :shrug:

  Higher frequency radiowaves actually penetrate objects worse. Today's carrier grade services are lower frequency generally.

  Oh yeah, I forgot about that section - definitely distasteful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's discuss: Resident Evil⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I played 5 when it came out and didn't think much of it, though it was also controversial at the time. Having it set in Africa means lots of black people - which seems better than pretending Africa doesn't exist?

  They should do No One Lives Forever next.

  I mostly heard that it was boring at the time. Which was unfortunate, the concept was cool.
