Some of the best games are games that no one asked for.

What’s the ffxiv reference here?

Anubis is from Egyptian mythology.

The ideas have always been there, it’s just a bottle neck on cheap electronics and people figuring out the foundation technology. I can’t think of to many tech advancements that have surprised me; that’s not too say they aren’t impressive, but just about anything we can imagine is possible.

The main thing I don’t expect to see is useful and reliable brain/electronics interfaces. I think biology is too unique for an of the shelf product to be possible, which means it’s too hard to make a profitable product.

I love a good pizza taco

The Australian government is heavily criticised for half-assing fibre internet because they did copper to the house in most cases. We still, a decade later, have one of the worst internet in the western world.

I think satellites are likely much cheaper to deliver internet to a whole continent than trying to run bloody copper.

Great game.

Did this exist before or after worms?

That’s a plus. I drove a hire car with a joystick/dial/button thing that could control the touch screen. It was so much easier to pay attention to driving while controlling something on screen. With touch screens you need to watch your finger as you press because there’s no tactile feedback.

Ultrasonic wireless communication has been a thing for years. The scary part is you can’t even hear when it’s happening.

Yea. I’m sure they will be humbled like the people of North Korea, who think their supernatural leader invented hamburgers and the electric guitar.

After his own offer to rescue the children was turned down

Windows started life as a window manager that you installed on top of MS-DOS. It has since grown to be much more, and I don’t think you can criticise it for that.

Also, changing the visual theme is their prerogative. They are not required to supply a “classic” theme, even though they did do that a bunch of times.

I get Lemmy is the bird around here, but if you’re going to bad mouth Windows, at least do it for the many legitimate problems it has.

Windows 8 was when MS were trying to break into the phone OS market to complete with Android and iOS. They wanted to have the “same OS” across phone, tablet, and desktop, which isn’t a terrible idea except for the fact you need to betray your entire desktop customer base to get there.

My favourite part of Linux cli is you only know you’ve done something when you get no feedback at all.

Did you even read what you’re linking? Nothing on that page explains the contradictory grammar of the template.

Taken literally, it’s suggesting that nobody is saying nothing (therefore everyone is saying something). But it is trying to say that no one has said anything, meaning the next action is unprompted.

It’s not a very good template.

I really enjoyed the second and third films, but I understand they didn’t perform as well.

I’ve heard there was scheduling conflicts with Channing Tatum which explains some of the disjointed character arcs. I guess they’d already advertised Tatum before the conflicts, so they tried to keep him in while replacing his characters story beats with Pedro Pascal.

I was really looking forward to a long running franchise that wasn’t afraid to go full tilt James Bond parody with over the top action.

It seems odd for Amazon to split it’s library across two streaming services.

Sad story.

That’s enough money to have a good life and provide a good life to your loved ones. If he never finds it, he is a crazy man. If he finds it he is a smart man. A normal person can’t earn that much in a lifetime. Even a miniscule chance of finding it could drive someone to obsession.

For the sake of his sanity, and for a good story, I hope he finds it, but I doubt he will.

“unplugged nation” is certainly one way to describe what happened. The monkey very briefly became part of the electricity grid, is another.

Theoretically, yes, but I suspect the manufacturing quality of SD cards is a lot lower than SSDs

And from memory, the number of enemies scales with the number of players. It’s gets pretty hectic pretty fast.
