Wait until you learn about Brazil 👁️👁️

Here’s why: money

It’s hard as there’s a lot of different games that I like for different reasons, but if I had to narrow it down it’d probably be:

• Minecraft
• Mirror’s Edge
• Dragon’s Dogma

Hello fellow kids, remember the BioShock game series? Now you can buy more, now with added Circus of Value™ boosts!

Just let a series be, not everything needs endless sequels. Come up with something new.

Gotta milk the franchise for all it’s worth until there’s nothing left

I’ve got Java code older than a decade I have to deal with too…

Also, I think phone screenshots with low battery is kind of a meme of its own, so maybe they immediately looked there to check lol

I 100% agree with prices having bloated over the last decade. The first card I bought was a 380 for $80, but $700 for a mid-low tier card is an extreme exaggeration

looks like it indeed is

I had a really weird dream when I was a kid that still sticks with me because it was so out there. Usually they relate in some sort of way to what’s happened or how you’re feeling, but this one was so off the wall I don’t know what it was supposed to be.

It started with me driving into a gravel parking lot, like for a campsite in the mountains. It’s overlooking a decently steep slope down covered with leaves or pine needles with lots of trees around. I park and get out and I stand there holding a towel. An old beetle drives up and parks really close next to me. A Hispanic guy gets out, walks away, and I drop my towel for some reason. I watch him walk away for a few seconds. When I turn my car has turned into a giant sweet gum seed pod (gum ball), before looking down at my towel which has turned into an anthill with a bunch of ants coming out of it. That’s where I woke up.

Hi, this complaint sounds vaguely familiar and I know it’s just indicative of that type of problem, but can you elaborate on what you mean by no circle tool?

I haven’t used GIMP in a long time but if I remember correctly there’s an ellipse tool and I think there’s a modifier that can constrain the aspect ratio so you can make circles. I might be wrong though.

What makes it make even less sense is imagine they could magically somehow have invested instead of creating something. Fast forward a few cycles of businesses swapping over from not beating the average and instead of actually creating anything, everybody is only investing. Except, none of them are actually creating anything.

The time for rallying is now, every state had a protest this month on the 5th (50501). There’s another one happening on President’s Day. Attending these shows that people who are fed up are real and are here. I don’t think peaceful protests will necessarily effect change BUT they are a place to gain visibility, meet like minded individuals, and build support groups. It won’t grow if people don’t show up!

I think about this post from last year a lot:

Navok noted that if a game costs $100 million to make over five years, it has to beat what the company could have returned investing a similar amount in the stock market over the same period.

You said it’s not runtime type checking but then switched to “strict type checking” - those aren’t the same. Other person has it right, it has runtime type checking. The type checking happens when running your code. I don’t think that’s particularly useful, it’s pretty much sugar on top of what would throw an error anyway.
