"Should we take this as a lesson that the players want more originality in their games, to the point where they're turning to other sources for it?"

"Nah, just get rid of the competition."

If it was impossible to remove heat from things in space we wouldn't have spacecraft or satellites. We wouldn't have a permanently manned research outpost in orbit. Hell, the Earth would probably be a big molten ball of lava. But we can effectively remove heat from an in-vacuum system that produces its own heat, all you need are radiators. If it's radiating too slowly, you get a bigger radiator.

There are some various ways. Radiators can be large and thin, and as long as the heat-sensitive part of the thing is kept cool it doesn't really matter how hot the rest of it gets.

Other nations should be responding to this as an attack. It's endangering the whole world.

Welcome to the police state, big brother is watching you.

A collection of hallucinations sounds more like a bad piece of comedy

It's the return of depression meals, 1930s style

The problem with new MMOs is that nobody wants to sink time into something that has an 80% chance of being shuttered in a few years

Big shoutout to PirateSoftware, without his help none of this would have been possible.

He worked at Blizzard*, don't you know?

*he got a job as a playtester there due to nepotism, he didn't actually make anything

Yeah, but everyone says "rage bait" nowadays

This meme is from like 2014

 

I've looked around a little, and found some mentions of using Lutris, or running it through Steam (tbh I don't know how that would work), but I'm not really able to find any guide that explains the process well enough. I'm so used to the game being handled by Blizzard's Battle.net launcher, so I can't really wrap my head around how that would work.

 

The question applies to any city with lots of really tall, big buildings, really. I figure that all those tall buildings would get in the way of the wind, like they make some kind of artificial lee. I've never been in a big city like that.

 

I'm not proposing this as an actual solution, it's just a dumb idea. But if we dug a huge, wide hole at the bottom of the ocean, or maybe widened the Mariana Trench or something, could that extra space make the sea levels drop enough to keep the land from flooding?

 
 

Video games have always cost the same, even back in the 90s big budget games cost $60. But $60 in 1990 is $148.73 today. So video games have in fact only gotten cheaper over the years.

 

Mobile games usually get a bad rep as they're usually asset flips and/or MTX-ridden and/or ad-filled, etc., and I'm sure this is actually the case for most games on the app/play store. But are there any ones that are actually good, maybe just something to pass the time with?

 

I was reminiscing about my first interaction with an American customer I had when I had just started working (I don't live in America, she was a tourist or something.) I worked in retail, and was taking care of a long line of customers. This American lady was at the end of the line. When she gets to me she asks to see my boss, so I head back and tell my boss a customer wants to talk to him, while I turn to some other work in the back of the store. A few minutes later my boss comes back and says the lady was upset with me and my behaviour, because I had not greeted her as she entered the store (because I was busy helping another customer.) The situation has perplexed me ever since, do all American stores employ greeters? I'm aware of the concept, how big stores like Walmart employ people to stand at the front door and greet people. But is it like that for every store in America?
