Just saw a video today about how on steam roughly half of the best rated games are indie titles. Needless to say that the 2D graphics are not photorealistic.

Maybe, instead throwing money on graphics alone, focus on making fun games?

GPU rendered text interfaces are pretty ubiquitous already. You can find that in IDEs, browsers, apps and GUIs of OSs. Drawing pixels is still a job the GPU excels at. No matter whether it's just text. So I don't see a point why we shouldn't apply that to terminal emulators as well.

Forbidden onions.

Wrong:

1. Pizza-time
2. Lazy-time
3. Caffeine-addiction-time

What would happen with circular connectors?

Isn't the added cable resistance small enough to not cause issues so soon? In case you just chain a few ( < 10 ) together.

If you are in a debate and you want to nudge someone towards your opinion, or at least away from theirs, without triggering the typical emotional defence behaviour which ruins rational discussions, calmly ask objective questions which point towards problems in the arguments of your partner.

From my experience, I found this certainly helps to keep discussions civil and make people think rather than just judge emotionally, even though this is not a one-fits-all tool.

(A) Such questions can be used to inquire about the reasons for a statement or opinion, which can provide you with a broader argumentative "attack surface" and might weaken your discussion partner when they discover that their point of view is not as sound and good as they thought it to be.

This basically boils down to principles of epistemology. "How do you know?"

(B) Another use is to include facts or opinions in such questions which counter the argument of your partner and let them re-evaluate it.

Two simple examples:

• "Why do you think that wolves are dangerous for humans?" (A)
• "How does this fit with research which shows that wolves avoid humans and don't see them as prey?" (B)

That way you don't necessarily present yourself as an opponent, since your own opinion is not directly verbalized. Instead you hop into a more neutral role, where you ask genuine questions and show interest in the other person's point of view. Combatative counter arguments are rephrased and hidden that way without the other person realizing it.

You play games at work?

As long as you're having fun, you're doing everything right.

Deep Rock Galactic with about 1000 hrs.

Best Co-Op game I've ever played with a marvellous community and its own subculture. It has been my absolute favourite game for a couple of years.

Stopped playing though when they introduced the "flappy boots" minigame. I know it's optional and there are mods to get rid of it, but somehow this has killed the entire game for me. Silly, but can't help the feeling.

In German I would say "die Luft ist raus" about this. Literally translated: "the air is out" and describes situations where something totally lost its appeal and is now just "meh", although it was (very) appealing before.

If you haven't played it before and like co-op shooters: give it a try. You probably won't regret it.

I see the issue more with relatives, who (today) usually would suffer even more if their loved one's body is eaten by other people.

All I want for Christmas is you, Satan.

What makes you so sure?

that sounds like you were part of a case study in your childhood

xD I need to remember this. Funny way of seeing this.

Interesting glimpses into a fucked up childhood via presents. Good for you that these times are over.

Gendered colours are stupid anyway.

At least it was thoughtful.

Eat. That's what you usually do with pudding. /j
