I started playing GTA V with a controller, but was really confused how difficult the boat trailer chasing mission was. After almost 1 hour, I switched to KBM and finished it first try.
I still prefer controllers for most games.

Pikuniku is a brilliant little puzzle adventure game, too. I don't know exactly when it was available for free in the Epic store.

Still works for me without any issues

Enjoying games is so difficult because of this. I love open world games that let you do everything, but it's so hard focusing.

I want to finish all side quests first, but I'm forced to do parts of the main quest at some point to progress. Then I'm sad when it's already over just when I thought I'm ready to start.

And when I try to focus only on the main quest, I don't enjoy the game that much anymore after finishing because it feels unnecessary and boring.

I still somehow managed to play all 6 Assassin's Creed games up to Black Flag + Origins 100% through sheer willpower.

If I remember correctly, that was the original idea of AWS, to offer their free capacity to paying customers.

Do you think that AWS in particular has this problem or Azure and GCP as well? I have mainly worked with DWHs in Snowflake, where you can adjust the compute capacity within seconds. So you pay almost exactly for the capacity you really need.
Not having to optimize queries is a good selling point for cloud-based databases, too.

It is certainly still cheaper than self-hosted on-premises infrastructure.

Do you mean that it's still the case that more resources are allocated than actually used or that the code does not need to be optimized anymore due to elastic compute?

This is the right way

You might be right.
Cue the Sherlock theme.

Another hint:
"I don't believe you heard us or Larian say that this was about parity in terms of parity."

In another article it makes more sense:
"In terms of parity, I don’t think you’ve heard from us or Larian, that this was about parity,” he told Eurogamer.

But at least the subtitle must have been typed since there is an extra character in "f+ears".

Coming from Germany, I don't know if the traditional way to eat muesli is just adding yoghurt. Most people I know normally add fresh milk to it.

Personally, I enjoy my daily Müsli with vanilla soy milk (but I tend to be the only one liking that), fruit skyr (or yogurt), some oatmeal and/or crunchy granola, and most importantly, at least two kinds of fresh fruit, like bananas, peaches, apples, pears, or grapes. Without fruit, it just tastes bland.

Turing Machine is actually the only game on my wish list this year. It's the perfect match for me as I love solving logical puzzles, work in IT and like to play board games instead of sitting in front of a display all the time. The Steam game Turing Complete was already a dream come true for me.

There is no impact on taxes as long as your Nebenverdienst is not higher than 520€ a month. You also don't have to pay social security contributions in that case.

I live less than an hour away, so I'd be really lazy not to go there.

I think meeting there with friends is the best incentive for those who live far away.

Not yet. I usually don't make a list until a few days before it starts. But maybe I won't prepare anything at all this time.

I'm more focused on playing games for fun now, rather than getting the best deals like I did 5 years ago. The SPIEL is good for trying out games, sometimes even before release, or getting some exclusive bonus expansions, but not so much for getting cheap prices anymore.

Besides, I don't want to add to my huge collection until I have more time to play games. So this time I may just go unprepared and see what looks interesting.

I totally agree. And I would add some of my favorite games like Outer Wilds, Satisfactory, or The Witness to the list that look great but don't try to be realistic. Their art style only serves the purpose of their respective core gameplay.

Well, I'm not a biologist and even all my houseplants are constantly dying. For me, biology as a whole is confusing.

You are correct, but the potato plant bears potato fruits, which are classified as berries. I will clarify that in my comment.

The taxonomy in biology can be really confusing. Potatoes (only their fruits), peppers, cucumbers, eggplants, avocados, lemons, oranges, kiwifruit and papayas are also in the berry club.

I'm on vacation with a rented Tesla Y LR in Tuscany right now. We traveled all the way from northern Germany (about 1500 km) and never had any issues finding a free charging station. Just once every single parking spot was used and the charging automatically stopped at 80% in order to make space for others more quickly (and to be honest, this was due to other cars parking in the Tesla reserved parking spots at an Italian supermarket).

Traveling with kids automatically makes you take a break every 3 hours or so. This time, we just let the car charge during these breaks and had a 100% charged car afterwards. That's about 55 min of charging time. In about 25 min you can charge from 20% to 80% using a 250 kW supercharger.

You have to keep in mind that long distance travel is not the usual use case and that being able to slowly charge the vehicle during the night is also important. Most camping sites, hotels and vacation resorts offer at least two 11 kW stations at their own rates.

Satisfactory is the first game I thought of. It even made me craft little 2D building models to plan proper factory layouts.

Bei Beton als Baustoff bin ich auch skeptisch und grundsätzlich bei dir. Wie bisher sollten wir nicht weitermachen.

Im Artikel wird das Thema Umweltfreundlichkeit aber direkt adressiert und die Innovationsmöglichkeiten durch den neuen Ansatz auch erwähnt:

Ein weiterer Vorteil: Der verwendete Spezial-Beton habe einen deutlich kleineren CO2-Fußabdruck und sei recyclebar. Die Vision von Kraus: "Dass wir in einigen Jahren dieses Gebäude wieder abreißen, schreddern, recyceln und mit erneuerbaren Energien ein neues Gebäude drucken können."

Ich hoffe nicht, dass die Idee bald stirbt, sondern sich zu einer echten Alternative für eine nachhaltigere Bauweise entwickelt.

Sorry, your comment was just very vague. As a European, it is always interesting to follow these discussions from an outside perspective, be it here or earlier on Reddit.

It seems like US politics is all about owning the other party most of the time. It's amazing that for every issue, no matter how reasonable and clear-cut, there is always an opposing position that can be credibly argued for either side.

I would also often like to see discussions that focus more on substantive arguments and not so much on predetermined positions.
