  • what lie? they told the customer the truth from the beginning, and still agreed to the customer's demands to work on the problem. they agreed to remove all viruses from the peripherals, which they did, because the peripherals were returned to the customer at the end virus-free.

  • what scam? the customer wanted them to work on their computer, so they did, and charged the customer accordingly.

  • i dunno, i quite like the last panel

  • The main thing? Optimization. Mobile games are built for mobile, so naturally, graphical stuff like polygon-count, particle effects, texture resolutions, shadow quality, etc. are all toned down to be able to run smoothly on mobile hardware.

    Couple that with the vastly smaller screen sizes and the diminishing returns of graphical power to visuals (e.g. visual jump from low shadows to medium is further than medium to high), and you're getting a fantastic mobile gaming experience for a tiny fraction of the power consumption.

  • IANAD, but if it's causing you stress, bro just change your sleeping position, buy one of those gimmick mattresses that specifically has slots for your arm to fall into (like the SONU Sleep System), or just use a buttload of pillows.

    Consult a doctor first if that's cheaper than buying a whole new mattress.

  • Tetris Effect and TETR.IO are unironically the best versions of Tetris out right now.

    Tetris Effect not only has amazing visuals, it brought a brand new mechanic (Zone) into the formula that made multiplayer matches suspenseful and exciting to watch again.

    TETR.IO is not an officially licensed Tetris game, so legally it's just a block-stacking game. Still, it currently boasts the best multiplayer system out right now, with a consistently high player count to boot.

  • he's doing a math joke: 25/25 = 1

  • I think the grand majority of software license purchases are corporate, where companies are willing to shell out a premium to free up labour (and wages) on stuff like in-house tech support.

    Even many freelancers shell out for an Adobe subscription, simply because the time they spend on having to learn how to pirate software, how to fix it, and the risk of being sued far outweigh the monetary benefits of piracy.

    Even I, with my good amount of experience using pirated software, am slowly making the switch over to FOSS software just to avoid all the delicate details in piracy.

    I know downloading/torrenting copies of movies that you don't own or have a license for is illegal in most countries, but I'm not sure on how legal it is to simply just view them for free on a site like Flixwave.

    I really should look more into game theory; that was a fantastic read!

  • i love how you now decide to censor your profanity

  • ah, showing your true colours, at last!

  • In this context, "whose" works fine, on the basis that almost no other options work at all outside of completely rewriting the question.

    I personally would just switch it out for "with" instead; it does slightly reframe the phrase but doesn't change the question itself.

  • unlike you, i have friends all over the world that i care for, including a good bunch residing in the US right now.

  • under normal circumstances, i would be inclined to agree. however, your country's voting system is anything but normal.

    i'm afraid that your view of the available options is nothing more than misguided.

    you're throwing away what little choice you have. you're pretending to make a statement and pretending to support the party that you vote for, knowing full well that they won't win.

    good luck with trump, my friend; i will be watching in disappointment.

  • i'm not even american lmao

  • step off the gas. nicknames and numbers can have entirely different cultural contexts.

    for me, i've never seen "juice" used to refer to jews, nor "88" being used to refer to nazis, and i've been on the internet a long time.

    when i see "juice", the first thing i think of is the song by lizzo. "88" is used as a replacement for "bye bye" in cantonese lingo.

    plenty of usernames are just random word + year of birth. stop overanalyzing it and chill.

  • man's actually taking the piss at OP's use of "empirical" instead of "imperial"

    also, i doubt that measurements of data can be imperial or metric; even Bytes themselves are just measurements of 8 bits.

  • I'm going to learn this skill and wonder why people are counting to 4 in front of me.
