And basically did the Action RPG equivilent of dying to the first Goomba in Super Mario Bros.’ World 1-1 at a live convention where your speedrunning skills are the main attraction
I’m pretty sure the current standard is playing Halo and fumbling so badly you have to turn the difficulty down from Legendary to Normal, and missing your target time by over an hour (see: the Cody Miller Halo GDQ speedrun).
Well, we all knew this was coming. “AI will be powered by renewables and fund the green transition!” no, it’ll be powered by whatever meets their business needs, and they’re running high-end electronics which means they’ll be running 24/7.
Specifically, tax them by (weight/axle)^4 * speed^2. You’ll notice that a 2ton car costs 16x as much as a 1ton car.
I want cities to be more like Venice or Florence or basically any city built before the 1780s. They worked just fine. There are places like that in the city I live in, but they’re horrifically expensive because it’s literally illegal to build more of them.
And to be clear, I’m not saying “I want to put homeless people in these places”, I’m saying “I want to live in these places, and lots of others do to so stop making them fucking illegal to build more of.”
Razors and blades - every console game has a, IIRC, ~$5 platform holder fee, which goes to Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo. So if you buy a Playstation at-cost and then buy 5 games, then Sony makes ~$25 in profit.
No, you tell the time by staring into the parts of the sky that aren’t the sun, and use that to figure out where the sun is.
This means prehistoric humans persistence-hunting wolves is canonical to the crazyness2400verse.
They’re literally building bunkers though. The bunkers are for literally going and hiding in a hole like Saddam Hussein.
Building more housing helps, but building new housing will remain expensive for as long as land is expensive, so it’s vital that we avoid wasting land. Which means density.
Some people read “density” and think “ah, taller buildings!”, but that’s only half the picture - you can save tremendous amounts of space by improving horizontal density - look at how dense OP’s one storey housing is, by shrinking the houses, and by ditching the front yard and dedicated sidewalks.
Except, most of the space is still empty! Those streets are oversized (take a look at traditional cities, most streets are under 20ft wide (6m wide) wall-to-wall), and the houses all have gaps next to them which look big enough to fit (or almost fit) another house. So you could easily more-than-double the density without even going up, assuming the housing isn’t car-centric (I’m guessing those empty spots might be car parks, and the streets are overly wide because they’re for cars).
If this sounds nitpicky, it’s not: building one-storey houses is dirt cheap; imagine trying to make a portable two-storey tent. It even makes it realistically possible to remove developers from the equation, without too much going horribly wrong. It just needs to be efficient with the land it uses.
240sqft = 22.3sqm
If you insulate against noise properly, you won’t.
Bullet Heaven is an old bullet-hell game playable here. Naming the genre that is stupid.
Bullet Heaven is the name of an existing game, don’t clobber it with a genre name.
Here’s some better advice for protestors/saboteurs: DO NOT CONFESS TO YOUR CRIMES ON SOCIAL MEDIA
You hit abandoned buildings and street signs? Ohhhh no sirree, SOME UNKNOWN PERSON hit abandoned buildings and street signs. No idea who it was. Not one clue.
because they will just do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI2FS7pZAnc
Well, it can have a chat with Phineas Gage then. We don’t need literally every atom in exactly the right place, for the brain to work.
The standard “we’re going to add red tape around spending in order to improve efficiency” gambit.
More than anything the trade embargo with DPRK needs to be lifted, same with Cuba
Forgetting the DPRK for a sec, the Cuba comment is right, right? AFAICT the main reason the US embargoes Cuba is because Florida is a swing state and lifting the embargo would piss off the Cuban-American voters who hate Castro with a burning passion.
In other words, shitty politics.
There are currently more empty homes in the US than there are homeless people. There are roughly 30 empty units for each homeless person.
There are plenty of entire ghost towns they can move into for free right now, but nobody will because the housing needs to be near the jobs.
Some of those units are being renovated, some are in the process of being sold or leased, some are being lived in but the owners are on vacation. The latter is especially true for summer homes, which are empty most of the year but wouldn’t be useful to homeless people because they’re nowhere near the jobs - that’s the point of a holiday home!
Seriously, if it were just homes then you can get something really basic for $20k. The real problem is the land and the permission to build.
They disrupted the status quo back in 2003 (2001?), then in 2009 they were doing Linux ports, then in ~2015 they were doing HTPC stuff (and also funding Linux graphic driver dev the entire time, Linux gaming in its current state would not exist without Valve), there was their Steam Machine experiment somewhere in there (it flopped but that doesn’t make it cost any less), then they were doing Steam Deck stuff. They’re still paying Linux graphic devs BTW.
What are the axes on that graph?
