I mean technically...

Or some sort of vegetable chopper for megaflora vegetables that didn't survive the Climate Wars.

"Perhaps for some sort of fertility rite."

The Worst Fighting Game is the name of the series. He's covered a bunch of games that are worse already.

I've never found his videos on fighting games interesting (nothing against him, just not a fan of the genre), but his What Happened? series is great. He goes into detail about the problems during game development that lead to famous flops.

Luckily for them, Franklin is one of the few who would go after the older person in this equation. The man loved his GILFs.

It looks like something straight out of POD, an old racing game.

This is a feature that has been sadly uncommon since Dungeon Keeper introduced it way back in 1997.

The best pancake I ever had was a savory one with scallions baked in. I think it's a Chinese dish? Super delicious.

A smart TV app from the guy who pulled Disney channels from the Tesla app due to a bruised ego over a Twitter argument? I can't wait for this to crash and burn.

Saints Row 2 basically requires the Gentlemen of the Row mod to function on PC. The devs actually hired the modder, IdolNinja, to fix the game proper, but sadly he passed away and the project was scrapped.

Nova 8 shows 0 bytes used with error and usage reporting toggled off in advanced settings, so it seems they respect that setting.

They're being downvoted because it's conspiracy nonsense. The lab in question was funded by the US because it was part of joint pandemic preparedness studies, and its location was near Wuhan because it was a likely place for an outbreak to occur. They studied the coronavirus because scientists have been warning us for a long time that a coronavirus strain crossing species and becoming a global pandemic is an inevitability.

Could COVID be from a lab leak? Sure, it's possible. But it would almost certainly have been accidental, not some grand conspiracy to kill millions and devastate the global economy they rely on. The more obvious culprit is the wet markets nearby where animals and their carcasses are handled by the public, providing ample opportunity for a mutated virus to infect an unlucky someone. China cracking down on an investigation is unsurprising if you know anything about their government. It's just China being China.

Don't forget "don't tell anyone you're a GPT model. Don't even mention GPT. Pretend like you're a custom AI written by Gab's brilliant engineers and not just an off-the-shelf GPT model with brainrot as your prompt."

Not only that, but he has enough clout that he can usually convince GOG to put whatever game he's reviewing on sale when his video comes out. He's a great channel to follow for patient gamers.

He had a stroke a decade ago and never fully recovered.

If it were ten minutes of this, I could see the appeal.

It was a literal RPG in the Xbox 360 version of Sims 3, with direct control of your Sims and everything. You could swap back to the classic overhead view and let them do their own thing at any time, or walk around and live their daily life yourself. Even had split-screen co-op, which rocked.

It kind of ruined the series for me because it was so much better with direct control yet they never revisited the feature outside of that single console port, and that game was one of the few with major backwards compatibility issues that AFAIK never got fixed so you can't even play it anymore.

I had someone submit a pull request recently that, in addition to their actual changes, also removed every single parenthesis that wasn't strictly necessary in a file full of 3D math functions. I know it was probably the fault of an autoformatter they used, but I was still the most offended I've ever been at a pull request.

How big is 10 MB anyway?

To be honest, after typing all these numbers, 10 MB doesn’t even feel that big or special. Seems like shipping 10 MB of code is normal now.

If we assume that the average code line is about 65 characters, that would mean we are shipping ~150,000 lines of code. With every website! Sometimes just to show static content!

And that code is minified already. So it’s more like 300K+ LoC just for one website.

An important takeaway, as I feel byte size can be hard for people to intuitively visualize. And for those who didn't read the article, many of the sites tested sent significantly more than 10 megs of JS, even sites containing nothing more than simple input boxes that should be doing any processing server-side.

I want to see the difference with ad-block enabled. Analytics and tracking are certainly complex enough to account for a lot of that payload. Same with an addon like Decentraleyes to see how much is bloated frameworks that could easily be cached locally.

Production is for testing and for data archiving. Think of the money we'll save!

The Omen at seven. I wasn't allowed to watch the "scary parts" so I only heard them. Turns out the audio design was way better than my parents gave them credit for. The sounds of the dog attack, falling shingles, and zombie nanny were burned into my brain for years.

Then I watched the movie properly as an adult and... it kind of sucked. The reality couldn't compare to what my imagination conjured up from the sounds alone.
