Would be nice if this place could refrain from sliding into reactionary conservatism even ironically.

any studio

This is one with his name on it.

Depending on how detailed the material he leaves behind is (or how detailed they want to pretend it is) they could likely still get some mileage out of it. We might end up with a Tom Clancy situation.

I'd go back and see if I can find Jesus. See what he looked like, what he actually said at his sermons, and what happened after the crucifixion.

Put portals on two boards. See what happens if I put one board through the other portal.

I live in constant dread of the day Gaben kicks the bucket and Steam is carved up by bloodsucking profit-chasers

I'm sure the majority of people literally do not care.

dumb user one

Really pisses me off

Last router I had to install had a manual that was literally only "Put this cable in this hole. Click this button. Et voila." with no explanation what any of the other buttons or slots or indicators were for.

I always include examples of the actual commands

You're an angel.

People doing stupid challenges. People’s attention span getting lower and lower. People pretending they’re more popular than life itself because of their faux acting and lip-syncing

Sorry but this reeks of moral panic.

It was just an example of an infinite, non-repeating number that still does not contain every other finite number

Another example could be 0.10100100010000100000... with the number of 0's increasing by one every time. It never repeats, but it still doesn't contain every other finite number.

Also hospitals in general are loath to replace any digital system that still works. That's time that their already overworked personnel have to dedicate to learning new systems, potential new bugs and quirks that might have actual severe consequences for patients, etc.

I don't really think it's a problem at all. It's on the level of game mechanics being taken too seriously like "why does a sword in my backpack weigh enough to slow me down but not a sword in my belt?" or "how come these vegetable merchants are willing to buy random crap I found in a cave?"

Fallout 1 has a hard timer you have to obey before it is too late to do your main objective and you lose the game. That shit stressed me out so much I just didn't continue playing.

Your wants and needs are different from other people's wants and needs, doesn't mean other people are wrong.

It means something in the vein of confused but people think it means amused

Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Humans don't fall far when they're born either. It would be very improbable for a human to be born and somehow land somewhere else than on Earth.

Sticking around and "lurking" for a bit before you try to engage with a new community, to learn the local etiquette before you make an ass of yourself. Or at least reading the rules as a bare minimum.

Is one year really that long considering the dev cycles of big video games?

How is Itch user friendly? It literally just gives you a download and lets you figure the rest out yourself. If you have a big library, like if you bought one of those big charity bundles, you can't even filter or search it in any way.

I have an ambient playlist with artists like Carbon Based Lifeforms, Sync24, 36, Cell, and some tracks from video game soundtracks.
