My favorite subplot in disco elysium

Ask Lopez what he thinks

Yeah I’m just gonna tell our group of 55+ year old mechanical engineers to learn Python; that’ll go over really well /s

Ass pennies?

They’re competing against games like Hollow Knight which offer 40+ hours of content for less money.

Armored Core could have been a baller VR game

Same. I want to use it as a huge desktop display at work for those days when I need like 40 things visible at once

The cheapest plane I’d feel comfortable flying my family around in goes for about $100k, and you’d better be able to pay ~$5k a year on average for upkeep.

Meanwhile an instrument six pack is cheap buying it off someone that’s upgrading their cockpit.

Some places are inextricably tied to SimuLink due to how long it was around before any of the alternatives.

• What happens to the ball?

It slowly rolled toward the edge but stopped before falling to the ground. The path was somewhat eccentric because of the texture of the ball.

• What color was the ball?

Yellow

• What gender was the person that pushed the ball?

Male

• What did they look like?

Green and white track suit (why? IDK), mid 60’s Italian, chubby

• What size is the ball? Like a marble, or a baseball, or a basketball, or something else?

It was one of those foam Nerf bullets, so about the size of a shooter marble

• What about the table, what shape was it? What is it made of?

It was that black IKEA table where the four metal legs screw into the corners. About 6ft by 3ft.

• And now the important question: Did you already know, or did you have to choose a color/gender/size, etc. after being asked these questions?

The entire scene sprung into my head at once after reading that someone interacted with the ball

I get that there are solutions to the problem, but there’s no way a team of 10 can port 35 years of win32 dependence and keep the business solvent. Maybe incrementally, over the course of 10-15 years. We’re just now migrating off of .NET 4.8 because we use WCF so much.

Give me links so I can send them to my maga parents

Wow, everyone left another platform and were inspired to leave for the same reason, as a group. Now they’re showing extreme similarities in other ways! When will the madness stop??!

It’s an adoption problem. My company only supports windows because all our customers use windows. All our customers use windows because all their vendors only support windows.

First thing I did when I heard it was required for win 11.

In a zoo? Probably a binturong or something like that. In the wild- an ocelot.

Tasmanian devils are unique in that they have a cancer that can be transmitted from host to host.

What’s the dew point at those temperatures?

I bet that’s been done at least once somewhere

It’s not like the value added for that 30% tax isn’t there. Steam has made so many things so easy that it’s easy to forget what things were like decades ago.

If you were an independent game publisher, you had to figure out how to set up a web storefront, a content delivery network hosted in perpetuity, take payments, do multiplayer, add in-game chat, map every weird joystick and gamepad in the universe to your control scheme, achievements, friend lists… And every game developer had to do that independently because there was no public solution, really. The friction to enter the indie dev space was so much higher.

Also, steam does not force you to use their store- you can generate steam keys and sell your game away from the steam platform. The only thing that they enforce is if you sell it for a lower price elsewhere, they’ll de-list your game. Which I think is reasonable.
