  • Better than the reaction I probably would have had. I would have had to shove my hands in my pockets because I'd immediately have the urge to start touching it and looking closely at all the bits and pieces.

  • I swear I've come across an indie game that had great thunderstorms, but I can't remember what it was for the life of me.

    That said, imo The Sims as a series has had good thunderstorms. Being outside can result in your Sim being hit by lightning, and iirc there are things that'll increase the chance of getting hit, like being wet, being in a pool, holding an umbrella, etc. I'm not sure which game has the best thunderstorms though.

    VRchat has some worlds with really good ambience, and typically they include rain and/or thunderstorms to some extent. You don't actually need VR, you can play VRC on a normal monitor.

    I've just realized that one of the things that Risk of Rain 2 is missing, is a persistent thunderstorm that gets stronger as the difficulty gets higher, lowering your visibility over time.

  • Edit: I apologize for my cynicism, but I struggle to be hopeful about the prospects of Israel making peace with its surroundings nations and occupied territories.

  • IO acquired the license voluntarily and had to convince the Bond owners to let them license the IP. So they're not swinging in the dark. Furthermore, Hitman is basically James Bond with a different coat of paint. I wouldn't be remotely surprised if all IO did for a tech demo to convince them was reskin Agent 47 and then play through the game as-is.

  • Projection is the thing some people do where they accuse someone else of something they themselves do, especially when there is no reason to suspect the accused. It could be considered a form of self-report.

    An example might be if a racist individual (lets call them Bob) accuses someone of racism (Joe) because they crossed a street. Joe may have had plenty of valid reasons to cross the street; maybe they wanted to go into the shop across the street, maybe their car was parked on the other side, maybe they saw a friend and wanted to surprise them. Bob, however, being a racist fuck, sees Joe cross the street, sees a black man walking down the sidewalk that Joe just left, and immediately jumps to the conclusion that Joe was crossing the street to avoid the black dude. The reality is that Joe didn't even notice the black guy, but Bob, being a racist fuck, assumes that Joe is just doing the same thing that Bob would have done.

    That is projection.

    I'm not sure if that fully answers your question, though I will say I see people seemingly jump the gun a lot. Accusing someone of projecting is similar to accusing someone of arguing in bad faith; except instead of accusing them of arguing in bad faith, you're accusing them of making accusations "in bad faith", so to speak. However, like accusing someone of arguing in bad faith, some people will just use it to shut people down.

  • Thankfully, as a long-time Firefox user, I've never been pampered by this magical feature and so it's not something I miss. Perhaps a chrome exodus will cause Firefox to pick it up though.

    Then again, I'm currently wearing a tinfoil hat that says, "Mozilla's CEO is a Google sleeper agent" so I'm about 50/50 on whether or not Mozilla will just straight-up fold in a couple years; but there's still the half that's hopeful!

  • People = bad?

    People = bad!

  • $150 for the WinRAR bag. $250 for a varsity jacket. Look, the designs are cool, but it appears that once again I will not be paying for WinRAR.

    (Besides, I use 7zip nowadays)

    Edit: seriously; a $150 bag and they can't be assed to use a real buckle.

  • "high-capacity magazine" can refer to anything ranging from a fairly standard AR15 30-round stanag mag to a 200-round box magazine. Like, technically a high-capacity magazine is any magazine that holds more rounds than a standard magazine for a given firearm; but legally-speaking most states with laws regulating magazine capacity tend to define "high-capacity" as being more than 10~15 rounds for rifles.

    So they could have had a normal Glock-19 magazine (illegal in some states as they hold 15 rounds, more than some states allow pistols to have) or a loose AR15 magazine in their glovebox from their last gunshoot, or they could have had a 100 round drum mag for their Glock.

    Edit: California sounds like they have a universal 10-round magazine limit, which means a standard G19 magazine would be illegal.

  • Wdym? Aeromorphs are pure NCD. Living aircraft. You telling me that isn't something NCD would come up with?

  • I should inform you that the search term you're looking for is "aeromorph".

    You're welcome.

  • Their lightsaber sucks, mine's way bigger. How can you expect to execute order 66 if your lightsaber is only 6 inches long?

  • Oh man, I love crazy stairs. Ridiculously dangerous and extremely ADA uncompliant, but whimsical and playful.

    (Yanno, up until you misjudge a step and smash your face into the stairs or go tumbling into the dark abyss when you get up to pee in the middle of the night)

  • Shitting hell is one of my favorites.

    What is shitting hell?

    Is that where they glue you to a toilet and force feed you nothing but dried prunes and coffee (they don't even brew it, they just grind up the beans for maximum surface area and then shove it down your throat)?

    What could warrant such a punishment?

    What context IRL could warrant such an exclamation!?

  • Google is still working on improving the Terminal app as well as AVF before shipping this feature. AVF already supports graphics and some input options, but it’s preparing to add support for backing up and restoring snapshots, nested virtualization, and devices with an x86_64 architecture.

    This is the part I cared about. Can it run x86_64 programs, or is it just an ARM-compatible version of Debian?

    If it can actually run x86_64 programs on ARM devices, then that's kinda fucking sick and would likely help the world transition to ARM. Like, fuck Google, but this sounds like a good thing, maybe?

  • Why does everyone find the "hawk tuah" meme funny? It's probably one of the lamest, most forced memes I've heard in a while.

  • I dunno, those all sound like fun things to say. If you're not having fun with profanity then what's the point?

  • Imo Steam should tell people whether or not a game actually requires Steam (or another form of DRM) to run. I know they already do it for things like Denuvo, but they should also note if the game actually uses Steam as DRM or if the game can be launched without it.
