Well, if dodos had a Glock they would not have been hunted to extinction now, wouldn’t they ?

just spend an hour of development time giving players the choice to disable it and literally everyone wins!
As a senior games programmer, depending on the engine and a ton of other very game-specific stuff, I’d guesstimate that anywhere between a 5 minutes, 1-man job and a several days long task potentially spanning multiple poles (mostly thinking of LD, 3D artists and tech artists. And obviously programming and UI)

As a professional gamedev : good. Except if they aren’t tackling similar issues in online gambling (am at work so I didn’t read the article)

But just know that I’m order to set it up, you have to login with your account on their computer at some point to enable the family sharing feature
I doubt it, because I think that’s literally how it used to work

FOMO can be a bitch for some people. The fact that it is so widely exploited in tech/videogames is no coincidence

They’re saying that the question she asked the witch asks is “who is the fairest ?” which does not mean “the most beautiful”

This is gonna make a lot of Europeans mad.
Source : am french. I love me some American coffee, but the default here is the espresso. You can also get a “long espresso” which is basically a diluted espresso, and is still not the same as an American (and this is where my coffee knowledge stops, so I’m not sure what the differences are exactly). I also have some Italian family and they would probably disown me if I said that the American is the “default” black coffee

Which is why I ironically use “muggles” with my tech-literate friends when talking about people with normal levels of tech literacy
- Comment on A kick right in the selbstbild 1 month ago:
Meh. Don’t get me wrong, the USA joining world war 1 was the final nail in the coffin and likely cut the war short by a lot (and made it a slam dunk for the allies, instead of a pyrrhic victory), but compared to, say, Canada or Australia (not to mention the UK and Russia that both lost as much, if not more men than France) they basically didn’t fight. They joined very early and were invaluable in holding french territories throughout the war, which is why they both suffered more losses than the USA even though their militaries (and populations) were way smaller.
WW2 USA was an absolute juggernaut though

- Comment on How can i make myself poisonous to mosquitos? 2 months ago:
IIRC the itching is an immune response to the shit they inject you so you don’t feel the bite as much while they’re drinking, and huge bumps/lots of itching is an allergic reactions of sorts. So you may have no reaction to it, or a very light one
- Comment on How can i make myself poisonous to mosquitos? 2 months ago:
For the no itching/bumps part, I think the absence of an immune system reaction (or a weak one) will do that

The problem is that a lot out economics relies on “models” that estimate the price of milk by assuming a frictionless cow on an infinite plane
Reminds me of a great sarcastic comment I heard in a “Well, there’s your problem” podcast. It was along the lines of “Turns out that, if gas was free, contrary to what economists would have you believe, people wouldn’t be consuming infinite amounts of it”
