You realize these are real people, war is so sad and you are comparing it to Christmas :(

At least it gets used for something, unlike most people's front yards. Hell even some people's backyards I see and it looks like they never use it.

I think the worst example of this was his water highway in season 9.

To decrypt AES you need some sort of a secret key or certificate. So the game will have to have it bundled.

If the Dev were to take, for example the x,y position of the player and convert that to a key, then there would not be any bundled key. This could allow specific conditions to be met without specifying the key or solution. Truthfully though, I don't know much about AES to know if that's possible.

"user-applicable fix" is hardly correct, they are installing a fix provided by the company that has the recall. The company just so happens to provide an over the air download to patch the issue instead of having owners go to a dealer.

That works until more of the user base leaves. Whose going to pay to tweet if no one is on the platform. It's "worth" it potentially in the short term, but long term it doesn't seem viable.

Yea I guess I "splurge" on food that doesn't have traces of lead or other disgusting things that shouldn't be in food.

OpenRCT2 (Roller coaster tycoon) and SRB2Kart (a sonic mariokart game)

People are still in prison for it though.

They are called PLU numbers and I'm assuming they're regulated because bananas are the same code everywhere I've been, as with grapes. Maybe certain produce between regions or chains is different but I think most are similar.

You can eat any of them, though some may kill you if you do :)

The first one is a morel, and the black one (also edible) is a black trumpet. Others may be edible, I'm not sure. The frog mushroom (Amanita muscaria) is supposed to be very poisonous, but there is an episode of Hamilton's Pharmacopoeia where he finds a man who eats them regularly. (This is not me suggesting you eat them yourself, just an interesting tid bit, mushrooms are weird)

To be fair, I think the datapack/command features are being fleshed out instead of a modding API

Potentially it's for safety reasons. I'd be so scared of a cat or kid going in the fridge and it auto shutting them in

Modification and distribution of modified copyrighted content, if not permitted, can be a copyright violation

Generally you are not distributing any content from the game. Most mods to games are using API calls to a mod loader to change the game for the user on runtime. These distributed mods generally have no copyright content in them.

"Gen Z doesn't like sex scene put into the movie by senile board members, so they must not like sex in movies anymore"

That is not true at all. You need to have been born a US citizen, there's no way around that.

Holy cow man, chill, this discussion is about censoring a song about 2 genders, not a fascist manifesto.

There is no reason to have these unless you're doing a flashback and want to intuitively imply how much older this scene is versus the other ones.

There actually is a reason for both of those to be used in video game development

You really should do some research on practical applications of both of these features

But instead, video games just turn them on or off, CEOs being too cheap to pay artists to go over the scenes one by one and utilize these effects to their full artistic potential.

And apparently do some research into how these are implemented.

Noise/Grain is used to add texture after using some sharp aliasing, it can subtly help blend things. Similarly aberration can help soften edges that get really sharp when rendering.

Irregardless of what they can practically be used for, they are implemented as simple features that users have the ability to control. Both features are just screen space shaders that take very little dev time and processing power. They are added as an extra little feature that's simple not because the CEO is too cheap. It sounds like you are unhappy with a game you've played and seemingly blamed it on them adding a noise filter, so now any use of it is lazy.

If you want to immigrate into a country, you must 100% be aligned with the values of your new country.

It's just hard to say that when a lot of European Colonialism took place in these countries, some gaining independence within the last 100 years (referring to the middle east as alluded to in your last paragraph)

I don't really know where to stand and I don't think you can be in a position that is correct given the effects of colonialism from Europe. The fact that some effects of this colonialism (especially in Africa) have destroyed some countries/cultures, when the natural population didn't "100%" align with the colonizers makes it hard to not sympathise with these people. A lot of these immigrants are leaving their home countries (not all), due to the rippling effects of colonialism.

I should say while I agree with your statement, I don't know how to account for the effects of external influence that may be causing said immigration.

Chinese people also deserve to not be sent to internment camps.
