To be fair touching them also has about a 15% success rate to do what I intended it to do.

Even for those 20 years it can be incredibly suffocating in fast moving industries like IT. Just look at e.g. the way video codecs got mutilated by patents.

It can never be on the VPN if the outer, encrypted VPN packets are not allowed on the connection. I mention it because it is one of the more complex bits to handle about your requirement, depending on if you always connect to the same IP via VPN or need to connect to a dynamic peer, possibly one you need to look up via DNS first.

At the very least you will need to allow it to route VPN traffic on that port, otherwise your VPN connection won’t work and/or won’t be re-established.

What I never got about that chain is why a Christian fundamentalist fast food chain has a name that is essentially a sexual innuendo.

Which is why they were ignored for a decade or two despite game engines easily achieving those FPS numbers and were pulled out exactly when the hardware vendors ran out of any other arguments to convince people to replace their existing screens and GPUs?

It won’t happen in tech outside gaming because tech outside gaming moves a lot slower so the collapse will happen to the front before the rear even thinks about adopting stupid changes like that.

I am okay with the “I made this game for fun and publish it for free/pay what you want because I can’t be bothered with monetization” business model too.

Oblivion is actually Arena 4. Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind.

Roleplaying games shouldn’t be about player skill, the whole point of having character skills is that they can differ from player skill.

You can sort of tell by the whole 4k (or even 8k), 144Hz stuff that opportunities for real improvements have been running out for a while.

It is not as if any other system of measurement used base 12 which would be the sensible choice by that standard (or base 60 but that might be a bit unwieldy in terms of number of digits required).

It is actually the opposite, since it is purely abstract everything in math is objective. There is literally no subjectivity possible in something that isn’t in the real world.

Funny to see this post just after watching a video on Tactical Breach Wizards.

It is not just huge costs and zero value, it is actually negative value because they actively prevent the people doing the actual work from doing that properly.

There has never been a legal way to purchase games or movies (as an individual I mean, obviously creators can sell the rights to the entire thing to another company).

You forgot the actual cost for the building.

Just being able to download them for free doesn’t get you very far though. What you really need is the source code and assets and build process so the first minor compatibility bug doesn’t make it unusable.

Well, there are certainly wrong ways to arrive at the answer, e.g. calculating 2+2 by multiplying both numbers still gets you 4 but that is the wrong way to get there. That doesn’t apply to any of the methods in the post though.

At some point I started dialing up the symbolism interpretation up to 11 but somehow they didn’t like that either. I came to the conclusion that they want you to validate their particular interpretation of a work even if it put too much thought into it compared to the author, not put too much thought into it yourself.
