Try foreign porn. If you don’t know the language, you might not see how bad the acting is. Though sometimes the acting is so bad it crosses language barriers lol.

Whatever amount they are getting from the publishers to do that is going to be less than the amount the publishers expect to get from the students because of it (plus all the expenses of building and maintaining the web portal).

The schools could just charge an avoiding corruption fee that is the same value as the kickback, tell the publishers to fuck off, and give the students a better experience that is also cheaper than the “recommended” one the publishers want to force them into to sell way overpriced books.

I have artwork where she’s coming out of a teletubby’s teletummy.

Or bath salts. And in reality, Hyrule is normal and peaceful. At least until Link, tripping balls, thinks 100 years have passed while he napped and the world has gone to hell.

His quests to collect shit all over the world were given in hopes that he would come down by the time he returns, but Zelda gets some really good shit (she doesn’t have a hook up, she’s the ruler of Hyrule and has a fully staffed lab) and likes getting Link high on various substances, sending him out on “quests” then does meth and follows him around disguised as a ninja until she crashes.

Then she usually needs him to deal with the head chemist, Al, who likes to invent even stronger shit and tries to take over the kingdom as his alter ego, Ganondorf (or sometimes just Ganon when he’s too fucked up to add the “dorf”) while Zelda’s out on her Shiek binge. The castle guards are too wasted to know what’s going on and prefer to patrol the garden (so they can just puke in the bushes when they need to).

Yeah, can’t say I’m a fan of the ugly cartoons style.

To add on to this, sometimes it’s better to switch from the linux runtime to proton. Most of the time when I have problems with a game running, it turns out they tried to support linux but for some reason the compatibility isn’t there like it is with proton. At least I assume it’s compatibility because they had to have tested it on some systems at least.

It comes in two pieces, a bottom tray, and a grid that is hinged and has a handle. Then, to break the ice, you just torque the handle, which shifts the grid angle, forcing each cube to move and come free. Works best if you move the ice to a different container at this point but you don’t have to.

If you do a search for “metal ice tray”, it should come up in the images (to avoid linking an amazon image).

I like it better than the plastic trays for this. Both can be a pain in the ass but in different ways. Plastic trays can snap when you bend them (haven’t had one snap in half but I have had one snap some of the structural supports) and often the ice just settles back in its place after you loosen it and you need to “bounce” it a bit until the ice turns in the cavity so you can grab it. With the metal tray, it doesn’t just free the ice easily when you break it (though still easier than the bouncing game) and if you lift the grid part out, you’ll probably need to use a different container or just leave the grid off until you make new ice.

Any nutritional value to that biofilm?

Bet if they had to put it on discs they’d do a better job optimizing and the game wouldn’t be 200gb.

Isn’t this the reason for using hot water to make ice?

Though if you’re using a plastic ice cube tray to make ice cubes, there’s a good chance you’re bringing your own microplastics.

Source: got a metal ice cube tray and noticed that weird “old ice” flavour and subtle sheen on the drink surface as it melted is no longer there.

The retail store the physical media was sold in would take $30 of that $60, going by the usual retail margins. Though they did also have to pay for the shipping and people to put the games on the shelves, take money for the games, and prevent people from just walking out the door with them. But the game publisher would only see $30 from retail stores or $40 from steam either way.

Also I bet the retailers had certain ad budget requirements before they’d even consider putting them on shelves.

It won’t be no one but clearly this platform isn’t (yet) a cesspool for it like other platforms have become.

On that note, it’s possible this is just one of the competitors deliberately breaking one. Not that a failed system isn’t plausible, but it’s just as plausible that one of valve’s competitors is trying to create FUD.

Time will tell I guess, but it reminds me of all the complaints about the radeon 5700 XT when all I saw was instability caused by my mobo thinking it could just enable PCIe (x+1) when it was only engineered for PCIe x (forget if it was 3 and 4 or 4 and 5), and it worked great after I updated the bios so it stopped doing that. It was hard to tell what complaints were legitimate and I was just lucky to avoid vs what was being amplified because AMD was getting back in the competition and nvidia didn’t like that.

Sometimes you don’t even want to go on the date after post-nut clarity kicks in and you can save some money by just canceling.

Remember that the big bubbles that popped in the last quarter century or so were based on the internet and housing, both very real and useful things that became a bubble because investors bet way too much speculating on them, including leveraging the rest of the economy for those bets.

Edit: Forgot my point, but even if AI is valuable for the future (which I’d agree with for AI in general but I’m still skeptical about LLMs getting there), it doesn’t mean it can’t currently be in a bubble.

Also, the dotcom bubble took out companies that were making real money doing real things right then because they started accepting IOUs instead of money, and did their own leveraging to the point where they couldn’t afford to not get their IOUs paid back, which they weren’t when the companies they got the IOUs from went under.

Nvidia seems to have about 50 billion in debt and 10 billion in cash. I didn’t look at the breakdowns of when that debt is due, but it’s possible the AI bubble might put them into bankruptcy, especially if their credit rating goes down and they have trouble refinancing.

It’s called security. Hackers can’t tap into our data if they can’t find the data cable!

Careful, don’t piss him off. He might be the anonymous hacker known as 4chan. If he is, he can hack right into the brains of SWAT teams and send them right to your house without the due diligence they normally use to be sure they aren’t targeting an innocent and causing more harm by being there!

Looks like on Voyager the . is treated as the end of the link tappable link.

Or the safest nuclear bomb where the whole population of Canada has to insert a toonie into the bomb before it can launch.
