The second once, since the attorney general is a fascist.

Jokes aside, he was allegedly beheaded as a martyr at fourteen and never wore armor in life.

There’s a very high chance that most of them no longer work. Although if even just 5% of the ones deployed are working, that’s still over 80. Which is more than enough to start WW3.

And it’s almost unthinkable that they haven’t kept strict maintenance on at least a few.

For anyone curious, it’s the “DISC assesment”, partly developed by William Moulton Marston. The guy behind the polygraph and Wonder Woman.

It’s based on his obsession with bondage and how he thought it was the solution to a “peaceful human society”:

Dominance: active use of force to overcome resistance in the environment

Inducement: use of charm in order to deal with obstacles

Submission: warm and voluntary acceptance of the need to fulfill a request

Compliance: fearful adjustment to a superior force.

It’s kind of difficult to relax and enjoy something when it is a seagull going IIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIII for 10min straight without a single pause, just outside your bedroom window, at 5am.

I’d take it with a pinch of salt:

Linguists in Australia recently analyzed the Global Web-Based English Corpus (GloWbE), a massive database containing over 1.9 billion words from 1.8 million web pages across 340,000 websites in 20 English-speaking countries.

More, but worse.

I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of people will dismiss it simply because it looks cheap. It’s like a a tech demo without textures. Although based on their multiple instances of stolen art, calling it an asset-flip is probably more accurate.

More like chromatic abberation, as both that and bloom was/is often used to hide graphical shortcomings.

Survivorship/survival bias.

And yeah, it’s the same old “they really knew how to make * in the past”. Houses, bridges, spoons, video games, whatever. It’s just that the well made ones survive, and the badly made ones don’t.

In large scale online games you have issues ranging from obscure things causing memory leaks based on drivers, hardware combinations, etc. and all the way to basic things getting overlooked. One of my favorite examples being GTA5 online.

They forgot to update a function from early testing, and it was in the game for about a decade before someone else debugged the launch process. And then realized that it was going through the entire comparison file for each item it checked on the local list. So “changing a few lines” ended up reducing initial load times by up to 70% depending on the cpu and storage media.

EDIT: I’ve been drinking and probably misreemebred parts, so here is the post about how he found the issue

It’s almost like their strategy for winning is “If republicans fuck up enough, they’ll have to vote for us”.

Or as George Washington put it:

The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism.

It should be noted that this movie premiered two years ago. There are claims that the movie couldn’t get a distributor because of the gore and claims of it being “unreleasable”, etc. Which is the kind of thing that makes me suspect there’s more going on.

Neat, but how about you enforce GDPR first. Which already includes a part about requiring an easy way to deny all non-essential cookies.

Yea, in things like MOBA games you have to compensate for so many edge cases that the amount of interactions between abilities is as you say, scary.

I really tried for both of them, but they seem to fall into the same mistake.

The wild thing is how the Fallout show was one of the most source accurate adaptations in a while.

You’re not wrong, but it is an indicator.

The second one isn’t bad, but I like the more trash metal style and less overwhelming bass in the first.

Which I guess is why Iove Andrew Hulshult’s remake of E1M1

The Cult of the Power Droids was a religious sect solicited by rogue GNK power droids.

It’s not full canon, only legends. It is from a reference book written by Ben Burtt in 2001. But the first half is written as an in-universe book, so I consider it partly canon. (For reference, he is one of greatest sound designers of all time. He made the lightsaber sounds, Darth Vader’s breathing, etc. In addition he also worked on Indiana Jones, made the “voice” for E.T., WALL-E, R2-D2, etc. He’s the guy who popularized the Wilhelm scream easter egg)
