This was my first thought on reading the thread 🙈 I'm so glad I knocked that out when I was like 11, no way my mid-30s ass is staying focused enough for a challenge like that now.
This was an interesting read for me the other day, pretty much exactly what you're describing: https://www.wired.com/story/i-went-undercover-secret-onlyfans-chatter-wasnt-pretty/
Head First Design Patterns really helped me untangle the spaget
Shapez2 went into EA a couple weeks ago too, I've been waiting for Factorio DLC anxiously but this Satisfactory release took me by surprise. It's such a good year for factory sims 🕺
I had put down Satisfactory earlier this year when starting T8 but I think the full release has rejuvenated my interest, I'm hype to finish the game now 🙌
Yeah casual guilds don't really have those issues because the requirements for skill at low raid tiers are so lax. Honestly the game kinda lends itself to toxicity when you play in 25-man groups, and it only takes a single person messing up in a mythic raid to ruin the pull for everyone. When it's like that, isolating the "problem" player is going to be pretty common, and people tend to be more elitist and toxic in general when they are hiding behind a computer screen.
That's not to say a high level guild can't be positive and supportive, though. One of the things I like about watching RWF is that most of the high level guilds seem to have such a tight bond, and they never point fingers over a single raid wipe. They're all in it together and come up with ways to compensate for each other's weaknesses. But it probably helps that every player is highly invested in playing absolutely perfectly, and I'm sure getting a guild to that point requires aggressively cutting out a lot of weak links along the way 😐
Part of the problem is that UA is such a massive airline, odds are any alternatives would involve quite a bit of sacrifice. Not many people would be willing or can afford to take an extra 2 layovers or 50%+ extra travel time or cost in order to get to where they want to go 🫤 That's not to say I won't try my best to avoid UA though, I was already sick of them after my last trip and now I find this news.
+1 if you can have automated checks do part of your reviews for you, it's a win. I never comment about code style anymore, if I care enough I'll build it into the lint config
I kinda wish I knew what it was like working on Y2K stuff. It sounds like the most mundane bug to fix, but the problem is that it was everywhere. Which I imagine made it pretty expensive 👀
This is 100% it for me
I freaked out when I looked at the scale after the holiday season, probably 10kg over what I consider my ideal. Cut beer entirely, 2 months later and I've dropped it all already 👀 I'm not really a big eater but alcohol packs so many calories
same here, I've played hundreds of hours of Odyssey but the 2d platformers I will barely make it through to the end credits. For a company that produces as many games as Nintendo I think it's reasonable to consider the 2d and 3d mario platformers different series and hold them to independent expectations.
in any case though they're definitely holding off odyssey 2 until the next console release at this point 🫤
I've had this in Japan, not sushi but at yakitori. Ended up in the hospital but it was fun to say I tried 😅 and surprisingly tasty too. Yakitori is my fave Japanese cuisine, I only eat the cooked stuff now though 🚶♂️
imagine if any tech company sold a service at a price that's at least the cost to provide it, that would be outrageous
Mt Dew isn't that bad but it's the kind of drink I can only have once in a while, probably the sugar content makes me sick. Black tea on the other hand, I could drink all day, and is fairly tasty too
I think it might solve the problem that people often don't remember if they created their account using SSO or with an email/password combo. So the site looks up your email to see what login method you use in order to redirect you to the proper prompt.
Funny I consider OW2 a better upgrade than CS2. But maybe because OW1 had a worse starting point. The game needed a total rebalancing and that was what OW2 was about. Yes it's not something they needed a "new" game for but it still made the game 10x more fun for me. CS2 doesn't seem like it's provided any rebalancing at all, feels basically just like a visual update (which OW2 also had). As a super casual player that only played a couple hundred hours years ago, I can't really tell the difference with the new engine (besides smoke mechanics) so the changes feel way less dramatic. But I'm definitely having fun revisiting CS. Also I can see why people would be more mad about OW2 monetization because CSGO has always farmed people for money whereas OW1 gave a ton of free skins. Now they kinda feel like they're at the same level 🫤
I got a little weird about House once the main cast got half swapped out, but by the end I came to terms with it and I think the show actually ended pretty solid
I used to have Paramount Plus for Big Brother before I got tired of it, it's good for that "reality" genre. Also nice to have a news channel which is not an offering on the larger streaming networks.
Other commenters hit on the reasoning, just adding that they're called highly composite numbers. My favorite!
is that Paul from big brother? the guy who iirc got 2nd place twice? could definitely be a doppelganger but looks very much like him 🤔
