Mirroring what others have said, often even heavy sleepers have sounds there sensitive to that wake them up immediately. I had someone crash on my couch one night. I knew they had to be up in the morning for work, so I set an alarm for myself to make sure they got up too (this is right around when smartphones were starting to become a thing, and it wasn't really common to have alarms set on your phone, hence why I was going through the extra effort for them). I woke up and went over to try and wake them up. First it was a soft nudge in the shoulder, then a harder one, then a shake, then grabbing them by both shoulders and aggressively shaking them. I literally stopped to check their breathing and make sure they hadn't died on me. My roommate came out during this and was also laughing and wondering if they had died. I really had to use the restroom, so said I was going to do that and then come back and give it another go. While I'm in there, I hear their phone go off and my roommate starts laughing hysterically. Apparently as soon as the tone went off on their phone, they sat upright, wide awake.

To be fair, The Pre-Sequel was made by different studio entirely, but I agree that the Borderlands 3 story was utter crap. It was so bad that I couldn't bear to keep playing, despite how I felt about the gameplay (which I honestly don't remember at this point).

It wouldn't have gotten so much hate at release if it was a remaster, but it was a remake that looked like a remaster, which is not acceptable when you're talking about a 20-year gap. They made the right move, which is what's so surprising to me.

Woman, I believe. If I recall correctly, they were intentionally bad.

Highly recommend Technology Connections for anyone interested in easy to understand, relatable breakdown videos of technology.

It looks like it has nothing to do with Plague Tale.

No shit.

Title could use a comma (and remove the apostrophe). It currently reads that 9 out of 10 children were killed, not 9 doctors AND 10 children.

Edit: Looks like the summary is wrong, and the title is correct

Today, 75 year old Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia died of the esophageal cancer he’d been diagnosed with last year. Connolly, you may recall, was recently picked by congressional Democrats to serve as ranking member on the high-profile Oversight Committee, passing up Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

I also switched to Thunder a month or two ago, and would recommend it. If Sync does ever get updated again, I will happily go back to it, but it doesn't seem likely.

Your title says PVP

If you're just looking for a cheap PVP FPS, why not try one of the many free ones like Fortnite?

Might want to update your other post too.

I don't like how time works.

Longer than your preferred range, but Helldivers 2 games generally last between 20 and 30 minutes. The absolute maximum a game could possibly last for is 42 minutes.

Fantastic speech! So happy I decided to watch it!

It's because all three are part of the Commonwealth.

My advice: Practice going over other people's code with a fine-tooth comb looking for bad architecture, flaws and inefficiencies.

I agree. Funny story, I wasn't allowed to do code reviews at my current job for about 2 years because they thought my comb was too fine. Suddenly software quality is something they are really valuing and they're allowing me to do code reviews again. Funny, that.

As a developer, I literally laughed hard enough to choke a little.
