But somehow the humans were EVIIIIIL for responding to this wanton unprovoked destruction with force lol.
That's basically what bugged me about the Black Morasss Caverns of Time instance in Burning Crusade. Why do Alliance players want to ensure that Medivh can open the portal and bring the Orcs into the world again? Even if it changes the timeline, wouldn't it be a lot better to just help the Infinite Dragonflight shank Medivh rather than let half the continent get massacred for a decade or more?
The "official" line was "well, if the Orcs never invaded, then the human kingdoms would have fallen into civil war and the Legion would have won". But, I fail to see how a civil war would have done more damage than the Horde, Jaina could still have easily led humans over to Theramore when the Legion arrived, and without the Horde being in Kalimdor Cenarius and a bunch of Night Elves wouldn't have gotten killed by Grom.
wtf? I hope you go out of business overnight, Unity. It's no business of yours which computers I install the games I purchased on, it's no business of your how many times I install and uninstall them, and why should you keep making money over and over and over again when the devs don't?
This bitch left her office for 4 days to do this? What a fucking waste of time and money.
I disagree actually. If she had pulled it off the way she wanted, it would have been a waste of time and money. The fact that it ended up too bad for even NPR to fully sugarcoat it despite (or likely because of) having a whole team making arrangements in advance makes it a perfect thing to pull out when people talk about how great EVs are.
Log fires? You're insane! Don't you know burning wood produces the most horrible thing in the world, carbon emissions? They should just stay warm using the knowledge that they're letting their political betters live like kings, I mean saving the environment!
I bring this up because if I choose to code a list over a grid in my projects that have inventory systems it's a remarkable difference in the work load, lists are definitely easier to deal with and take less code compared to complicated grid systems if all you want to do is let people pick up and drop stuff or equip things and there's not much else going on.
Not really. It's a 2d array vs multiple 1d arrays. Yes, if you're letting people drag and drop into the grid it does complicate things a little bit, but list-based inventories have added complications of their own assuming you're letting players favorite items (which I'm hoping any list-based inventory does)
The other thing to keep in mind from both a code and UI design point of view is what limitation(s) if any are you going to have on the player inventory cap. If it is weight-based, then I think a list-based inventory makes more sense as (in my own experience anyway) when you get back to town you just grab the heaviest things out of your inventory and sell them. If it is number of items-based, then I think grid makes a ton more sense as you can quickly see everything you have in the inventory.
The main player advantage grids add is they allow much better organization of items than lists do, as players can group items in whatever category they want, whereas with lists things are broken into a couple categories that the devs decided and the players need to work around that. How important that is comes down to how the game itself works - if the overwhelming majority of what you find is just vendor trash, then a list works fine. But the more things have non-selling uses (keeping activatable items on hand, storing a variety of different types of crafting ingredients, keeping various items for specific fights (say, fire resistance armor for a particular boss), etc) grids make life much easier for the player.
“Look at my face. REMEMBER ME when you are thinking about supporting letting juveniles and young people out of custody to roam our streets instead of HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.”
Should we also remember how you and your party have spent years now pushing to let those very people out of jail, and instead use the law enforcement resources to go after your political enemies?
The actual military event was intended to take place "last year", so at least 9 months ago. And now, right after the ADL situation heats up a supposed excerpt of a biography gets leaked to the media and people start swarming all over Musk? It might just be a coincidence but the timing to absurd.
Crichton called this stuff out on multiple occasions. I'll bring in Richard Feynman as well, with his cargo cult of science speech from 74.
But there is one feature I notice that is generally missing in Cargo Cult Science....if you’re doing an experiment, you should report everything that you think might make it invalid—not only what you think is right about it: other causes that could possibly explain your results; and things you thought of that you’ve eliminated by some other experiment, and how they worked—to make sure the other fellow can tell they have been eliminated.
Most "scientists" aren't scientists anymore, they're aspiring to be priests.
If age requirements/background checks don't violate the 2nd amendment, how does it for the 1st?
They do violate the 2nd amendment, it's just most people don't care.
That said, I personally feel the main issue with the porn bill is:
“People will be particularly concerned about accessing controversial speech when the state government can log and track that access,” Ezra wrote. “By verifying information through government identification, the law will allow the government to peer into the most intimate and personal aspects of people’s lives.”
Yes, this already exists with gun laws. And, I do not think they should exist with gun laws. But, there's a big difference between having to flash a driver's license to some bored store clerk to the government keeping logs of who is visiting particular websites, when and for how long. Especially because governments are already locking people up for saying naughty things online - how long until they start locking people up for reading naughty things online?
3:30 is the most hilarious bit IMO, with someone trying to dunk on beans on toast. I mean, you do know that's functionally what a common Mexican food, a bean burrito, is? The only difference is whether the bread wraps around the beans or is beneath the beans.
“Anyone whose EV came into contact with salt water during Idalia should move their vehicle out of the garage immediately.”
When Tesla, Ford, and everyone else were designing these vehicles, how did nobody anticipate this?
And yet, for some reason, the title here makes it seem like it's only Teslas. I wonder why?
That settles it. WGA/SAG have entirely lost. Every piece of news seems to say the strike shows no signs of ending anytime soon, and it is rapidly approaching the longest one in WGA's history (I believe it hits that milestone on Oct 4th roughly). Add in some hints that members of the unions are starting to have a cash crunch, and all I can think is that they're trying to drag gaming in to get some measure of public support.
So, go ahead voice actors. Join the strike, get replaced by AI even faster than you're already being (indies and modders are already using AI voices), and go away.
But then, where will we send Mr. Repeated Seizures (McConnell), Mr. Stroke Victim (Fetterman), Mrs. Signed-Away-Power-of-Attorney (Feinstein)? And who knows how many others I'm forgetting or we haven't heard about?
Seriously, I just counted. 34 out of 100 senators are age 70 or older. Ridiculous.
I can't accept that's an AI, because I'm pretty sure ELIZA would have been able to do a better job half a century ago. I'm gonna put my money on "someone wrote it in a foreign language and it got run through a terrible machine translator".
