  Plus, the whole point of a signature is that it’s easily reproducible by you, but not by other people.

  Fast and fluid in a way that feels good to your hand is therefore the best signature, whereas something written slowly and precisely is easier to copy.

  7 could actually be insanely overpowered depending on interpretation.

  “Instantly see inside any open container”

  What does it mean to “see” inside a container? If that just means “know what the contents are” (i.e nothing) then its limited, but if it means literally see, with remote sight, that’s much more useful, depending on this next parts…

  What does “inside” mean? Does it mean we can only observe the interior, or can we look out from the interior as if out point of view occupies it? And given a glass cup can be considered an “empoty container”

  At its most favourable, this power gives you the ability to remote surveil almost any location where a common everyday empty glass can be found.

  Depends on what basis one is comparing it.

  They are very different kinds of game, but they have to exist within the same economic realities.

  Big studios seem to be working on the basis that just because they spend millions on a game, the game automatically becomes worth whatever price tag they want to slap on it - as if it’s a natural law that pumping in more money should directly translate to more revenue, without fail.

  But it turns out the value of a game is what players perceive it to be worth, not what publishers hope its worth.

  So it’s no surprise that indie games with amazing price-to-value ratios are seeing a surge, while big studios are struggling and don’t seem to have any ability to understand why their business model isn’t working.

  Publishers are all shocked pikachu when their big budget games fall flat, but If people don’t want to buy your $80 game it’s not their fault - it’s your fault for not doing enough to justify the price tag.

  So my message to studios isn’t “your games should be $20” (although sometimes they should) it’s “you should provide value that matches the price tag” - and Silksong over here just laid down the gauntlet as a game which looks set to deliver tonnes of value for relatively little cost.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Take note AAA studios - this is how you do it.

  With this pricing, Silksong may be the only game this year that I’ll actually purchase on release day.

  Yes. If the planet was stationary in space, it wouldn’t work. Approach from ‘behind’ the planet and you get a boost, approach from the ‘front’ and you hit the brakes.

  Lol, what a solution. Xrazy build. I wouldn’t worry too much about thermals. Even 80-90°C should be still acceptable, with the card only throttling above 90

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to buy some sata power cable for a lenovo sff pc, the seller did not clarify what size⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So you needed SFF, the seller didn’t say theirs was SFF, and when it came it wasn’t SFF? Am I confused?

  Yes, because we invariably import whatever bollocks the US says or does.

  There’s no strict rule, either is acceptable.

  “Write down the age of everyone here”

  “Write down the ages of everyone here”

  Equivalent, and both equally fine.

  When we are talking about a group of two or more people either singular or plural work, and singular doesn’t imply they have to be the same either.

  For broadcasts yes. The autoplay for trailers keeps forgetting its setting constantly and there’s nothing you can do about all the embeds - which are really the worst offender.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Robocop: Rouge City⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That page won’t open for me because it’s http only, won’t upgrade to https, and my browser won’t allow it.

  But I know the story you mean and it’s brilliant lol.

  Here’s another report on the same: Welsh translation gaffe

  If you’re the sort of person who likes to take in plenty of trailers when you’re hunting for new stuff to play on Steam […]

  How about if I’m the sort of person who hates it when a bunch of shit starts autoplaying and there is a dev stream popping up and 10 embedded animated images in the product description?

  Got any features for me?

  Ah. Apparently it’s called a slug snake because it EATS slugs, not because it looks like one.

  Because it looks like a stick. Literally the most twig-ass looking snake ever.

  You just have tonask yourself “If it was a daughter asking her mother for personal grooming advice, would things seem different?” and if the answer is ‘yes’ then it’s easy to recognise there might be a double standard there in society which shouldn’t exist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He is cooked⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Email has bits of both in the chain.

  Using the olden-days of desktop email apps as an example then:

  • 1. You compose an email and push it to your email provider
  • 2. Your provider pushes the email to the provider of the recipient address (including retying if necessary)
  • 3. The recipient user “checks for new emails” and pulls down new ones from the provider to their local app
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He is cooked⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The cause of this for SMS is not the phone, but the network, and the underlying technology. SMS is push-based, compared to Internet messaging which is pull-based, and uses a backoff-based redelivery mechanism. Once your message is sent and has been received by your carrier, deliver is attempted, but if the recipient handset is unavailable the carrier will try periodically to redeliver, and if it still fails the wait period between delivery attempts will increase the longer the recipient is unavailable. May be every five minutes for the first hour, but then once an hour for the next 24, for example.

  Each message is its own distinct entity which is treated separately for delivery, just like letters in the post. That’s why it was possible to get this sort of odd-seeming scenario where you have a newer message that made it through, while an older one is still stuck in retry somewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plant Slurs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My definition: aggressive spread and resilience to removal.

  Weeds that are pretty might get more of a pass than ones which are ugly, poisonous or thorny, but ultimately, even the most beautiful flower becomes a weed when it’s suddenly everywhere and you are fighting constantly to get rid of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon likes a thing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Since 2011 for me too. I aometimes step away for half a year at a time, but I always end up back.

  As much as the modern image of Minecraft might be obnoxiously shouty youtube shorts, that’s not all there is to it.

  You have the groups of talented builders recreating the Lord of the Rings world of Middle Earth at 1:1 scale, and then the crazy redstoners building fully working computers inside the game.

  Minecraft has always been for everyone, and I hope it always will be.
