Isn’t that just a normal North America plug? Most lawn equipment was set up to use standard extension cords so that cables didn’t have to be unique.

The dev stated that it mostly exists for more performance-limited applications like mobile.

Similarly, VLC names their releases after Discworld characters. It’s a fun way to make major versions feel like more than just a number increment.

I’ve been playing Gamedle recently. I tend to discover interesting games both as answers and while researching the info I have.

Pork?! These are all beef, baby.

TLDR: The statistics only work if the host has to reveal a goat and offer to let you switch.

In the show the question is based on, the host didn’t always open an incorrect door after a guess. He didn’t always allow them to switch. He also offered money instead of opening a door at all in some cases. He could use these tools to get the outcome he wanted most of the time.

More biomes don’t fix the fundamental flaw in the design. It treats planets the same way Raft treats islands. They become purely a resource hunt for the player, no matter what skin they have.

Raft gets away with it by having your base travel with you, being incredibly hostile, and being short enough that the loop doesn’t get tiring.

NMS and Starbound struggle from the same issues. Infinite tiered worlds end up feeling the same, but also remove all meaning from the exploration. In Minecraft or Terraria you aren’t going to be flying to a totally new place in five minutes, so you want to get to know your surroundings and put down some roots.

Travel time and not having tiered world progression makes the player care about where they are at instead of seeing it as a stepping stone.

The lack of pressure leads to absurd file sizes for silly things.

A few weeks ago, I needed a vector company logo, so I asked our graphics team for one. The file they sent me was 6MB. While working with it, I noticed it was actually quite clean, so I exported it as an SVG and it came out to 2KB. 1/3000th the size for the exact same graphic.

I opened their file up in a text editor and found font configs for specific printer models (in a graphic with only filled curves), conditional logic, multiple thumbnails, and other junk.

I feel the need to point out that a float isn’t an integer with a decimal stuck on. A floating point number is called that because the precision on both sides of the decimal point changes depending on the size of the number.

It’s actually stored as an exponent and a value to apply the exponent to. This allows you to express incredibly tiny numbers and incredibly large numbers, but the gaps between representable numbers is inconsistent.

You know how 10 / 3 * 3 is often not 10 because the decimal representation loses the repeating .33? In float, you run into the same issue but in much less predictable places.

His ultranationalist coalition partners have threatened to bring down his government if he ends the war without destroying Hamas.

His government is coming down then. You can’t destroy an insurgency through non-social means.

A single registry edit to a key that doesn’t exist because they wanted to obscure that it was possible.

Factorio is the best manufacturing/logistics sim by a huge margin. Some of that is technical things, but the biggest contributor is game balance and the complexity curve. They spent years iterating to find a sweet spot.

They specifically used it to make major players blatantly cheat during a tournament so that it would be taken seriously and fixed quickly.

There are a couple of decent reasons. One is that your servers may be a network of services that can’t operate independently. Another is that they may rely on things you don’t have a license to distribute.

Hamas kidnapped three people. Israel raided. Hamas shot rockets. Israel bombed.

Indiscriminate killing as usual.

Dolphin is the main GC/Wii emulator. It works great on a modern-ish computer, but you can’t really run it on GC-era hardware.

It gets thrown around a lot as a buzzword, but it really just means “intended to get post-release updates that go beyond bug fixes.” Nearly every game released these days, good or not, classifies as GaaS. It’s functionally meaningless.

Petroglyph had Grey Goo and the 8-Bit family, but those are decently old now. They’ve been pretty much the only game in town for quite a while, sadly.
