Because they are talking about their own actual intent to do it, whereas we are just talking about that incident. Also someone close by might see their email over their shoulder.

Doesn’t it still block breathing though, in the area above where the swallowy tube and the breathy tube are joined?

Fun fact: most implementations actually always use 65537 as the public key (17 was more common earlier, but rare now). It makes computations easier and faster, and doesn’t affect security much as long as you pick a hard-to-guess private key. The modulus is the thing that varies in public certificates.

And having all body parts is also a worthwhile trait in a partner. But that doesn’t mean you get a license to call them gross.

OK, but how will we ever get to “great” AI if we don’t invest in less great AI to drive research. If the luddites on Lemmy calls the shots, Data will never see the light of day.

Yeah? How does it work, then?

Fun fact: due to the uncertainty principle, light actually spreads out as a circular wave of probability from the Sun out into the solar system. It may or may not interact with something on the way - once it does, the probability wave function collapses into a certainty and is no longer spread out through the vast distances of space.
So this particular packet of light could be just about to interact with a rock on the Moon, when fate decides that it will instead end up drying your cum sock.

Very. The entire Republican party is a disgrace for allowing this.

Firewatch and What remains of Edith Finch both take around four hours to finish. You can easily finish them in a day or two.

Hey, it’s subjective. And you’re misrepresenting what I’m saying. I’m not saying there haven’t been games with excellent storytelling. FF7, Another World, Space Quest 3 come to my mind. There are undoubtedly a hundred more. But in reality those games still appealed more to us kids than my dad. With TLOU I feel like something new happened: the story resonated more with the dad in the house (me) than with the kids.

- Firewatch
- What remains of Edith Finch
- Outer wilds
The first two are “walking simulators”, i.e. very linear. But the story telling of all three is amazing. Firewatch also feels like a “game for grown-ups”. It deals with a person who leaves his wife because she gets early onset dementia. He runs off to work as a firewatch in a national park. Lots of complicated feelings involved and an extremely engaging mystery unfolding.

Neither was Leisure Suit Larry. But I’d argue that the the game still appealed more to kids than to adults. With TLOU I saw something else happen: many kids hated the ending, while dads like me totally got it.

If we want to be charitable there’s a nugget of truth to what he’s saying though. I’m 48 now and I’ve played computer games since I was seven, and I’ve worked with game development myself. TLOU was the first game that felt like it had a story for someone who’s 40+. It felt like some kind of milestone. The art of games has matured significantly in the past 15 years.
