I cook with it a lot.

oh yeah, I've been fighting hard to keep only important shit in my notifications for _years decades

edit: shit does Lemmy not use markdown?

the multiplayer is predatory still, but the single player mode in legends of runterra has actually been really fun.

H!, that might do it lol.

i mean, the fact that we never heard about this pretty much shows that it wasn't a success.

contrary to men being known for being horny, they read almost no horny books. erotic literature is like over 90% female readers. don't ask me why, but men just don't like to read their smut the same way women do. so no, i don't think this ever had any chance of succeeding unless it was a movie instead, but how often do movies that are only about women being hot actually succeed anymore?

exaggeration of things like that can be really good to get your point across. especially for people reading on release that haven't necessarily looked at the precious spacing in a couple days.

I still don't think you exaggerated it nearly enough. think of it like a cartoon, if you want to show her backing away, then have her press against the wall, or all the way down an alley, or maybe some little motion cues like step step step leading backwards. ooh, or you could try the manga thing where they just have like shock lines outlining where they just were.

don't worry about physical logic being grounded, and don't try to by visually subtle. if you have a visual point to make it's usually better to make it almost painfully obvious. slap the reader with it to make sure they get it.

yeah, like others have been saying. it's exciting, even though the actual plot is very different. to me, they kept its soul and even modernized the science.

he definitely puts his own agenda into his show. like, with COVID, he only invited guests with one opinion. he picked the anecdotes and every part of the show that wasn't pure interview. he very very clearly and strongly wanted to push that vaccines are bad and COVID is overblown. that was not a guest doing that.

maybe the point is more that many violent video games aren't competitive.

apparently Google thinks this band is whatever you're talking about https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Halo_Effect_(band)

hmm, don't think this is true anymore. the internet is too consolidated. I'm thinking like 3 big ones at most these days.

the point isn't that it should cost less, it's that it shouldn't have been released to begin with AND it costs more than most games. the price isn't really the problem, it just compounds on it to make it all seem worse.

i think letterkenny might have the most realistic representation of "the dark web"

buncha tweakers in their mom's basement with a nerd friend that helps them look at onion sites so they can feel like edgelords without actually buying anything.

that's why most games choose not to release on it. this is still a greedy decision.

damn you for making me notice, but it totally is...

eh, it's just two stubborn corporate entities trying to throw their weight around. the only reason adobe looks bad here is because Google is winning. they both stubbornly refuse to allow the other's standard on their platforms.

jpegxl is the better format, without a doubt, but adobe is a fool if they think they can strongarm Google.

to me, adobe is being foolish, but they're both equally being evil.

one important tidbit in this whole situation that sheds a lot of light on where and why is adopted: webp is Google's horse, jpegxl is adobe's horse. that's why jpegxl has poor web support, and why webp pisses off designers.

as someone with wrist and hand problems that make writing a lot by hand, I'm so lucky i finished college in 2019

oof you need to keep more up to date on that kind of data, the trend has reversed in recent years with teenage and childhood vaping creating a new pathway to smoking.

nothing suspicious here.
