to me this is the wrong way of looking at it, it’s like saying “imagine a world where plutocrats just didn’t do pollution, imagine a world where plantation owners didn’t use slave labor, imagine a world where industrialists didn’t employ children”
it was always going to happen, just society has to force capitalists not to be cunts. Only way, always was, always will be, still is.
CCGS, I meant like Magic the Gathering, Pokémon, Yu Gi Oh
to be fair this kind of expenditure and aftermarket exists in CCGs.
Thing that cured me of my destiny 2 fomo was to get the transmog system to make my character look like a year 1 day 1 player (the broken armor you get when Ghaul takes your light) and then that’s my “look” I’m the guy who looks like they’ve never change their armor. Then I picked one ship and one emblem I liked (Xûr’s rock ship, and Strange Coin emblem) and that’s it. no more MTX.
You change some code and send it in, you add a cover letter explaining what you did and why. The Linux guy wants you to write more detailed cover letters when you do.
edit: wrote this before reading the article. he actually just wants people to write using active voice instead of passive.
my wife got a few hundred bucks from a feminine hygiene product, unless you count that as “cents on the dollar” meaning a percentage of the final amount - in which case, that’s the case in every settlement.
Destiny 2 still struggles with this. Some enemy attacks 1 shot because at high frame rates they hit the player multiple times as the projectile passes through the player character’s model
Actor here. Doing intimacy scenes is surprisingly difficult, arguably more so than combat, because usually people train and get certified in sword and dagger, rapier, firearms etc to get cast
When working a job, putting your mouth on another person’s mouth is a very unusual act, and you want your actors - regardless of gender - to feel safe, comfortable, professional and not exploited - not to mention you might spend 2x 14 hours days on this sequence from multiple angles getting it the same every time
I would also add that you need to explain out-of-home steps, too.
I’m not an idiot but I didn’t go to school for compsci or similar and I don’t do it as a job. So frequently the instructions will go
My sibling in Eris, most people dont know any of those words.
different guy here. It seemed to be fairly useful for software engineers to solve quick issues where the answer isn’t immediately obvious - but it’s terrible at most other jobs.
And part of why it’s bad is because you have to type into a text box what you want and read it back (unless you build you own custom API integration- which goes without saying is also a terrible way to access a product for 99% of people)
Another part of why it’s bad is because you’re sharing proprietary information with a stranger that is definitely cataloging and profiling it
Very few people interact with language in a way that is bidirectionally friendly with AI, and AI just isnt very good at writing. It’s very good at creating strings of words that make sense and fit a theme, but most of what makes “very good” writing isn’t just basic competency of the language.
yes but on the other hand people will think you (shudder) like Cybertrucks
.top is cheap right now and much easier to make into a phrase
I am commenting this from a terrible strip club with friends who dragged me here. I wish I was in your position.
I’m curious about comparing this to say - the white phosphorus scene in Spec Ops: The Line, or the airport scene (“no Russian”) in COD, rescuing Ellie instead of giving humanity the cure in The Last of Us…
All things that are arguably a lot worse than pulling a leg off a stuffed Elephant and all require on-rails player action in a game.
To take the devils advocate position: is conflict not necessary for drama, and effective conflict is one that affects its audience?
and - not an app - because they make you pay, but it’s free in a web browser:
I wanna ding his little hat like a hotel reception bell
it’s not just one thing though. For a non technical user, it’s nerve-wracking to worry that if you screw up the install, or download the wrong package, or configure the YAML wrong, or open the wrong port, or there’s a port conflict, or you forgot to update the software… now you’re potentially unprotected (even if that’s not the case - many will still worry).
Not to mention even if you - as I did - had to skill up to understand it, three months passes and you’re terrified to touch it because you’ve forgotten all the stuff you learned to set it up.
Same as how the majority of people don’t even change their own oil on their cars - even though it’s fairly easy.
they should call it Definitely_notMalware.db for safety
