I mean, the reasons for hiding nefarious things are slipping down the drain.
Some EU nations are basically in putins pocket, thanks to their government, the US just elected a Russian asset as president, who is filling key potitions with yes men and more Russian assets, and they just get the finger wag "don't do it again" every time they do something.
So why bother trying to hide it?
You remember adults telling you to ignore bullies in school because they'll lose interest? That was all bullshit, as history class will happily tell you during your world War 2 segments.
Pffffffff
I can see that bright white dot against the dark mode background on my maximum brightness screen with ease! Therefore your argument is invalid!
It's a neat game. I've put a couple dozen hours into a few villages over the last few months. There's still a lot to improve on, but based on the little I've learned about the developer this seems like more of a passion project than a money maker.
Chug along, little dev, there's dozens of us waiting for updates! dozens!
There should be a tune able setting under "brightness" that automatically darkens the screen when it displays a certain amount of bright colors, especially after certain times.
Like I'm fine flying around a space game at night right up until I come face to face with a star, then I can't see anything for a good 5 minutes. If I turn the brightness down to like 30%, I'm fine at any time of day. Just make the TV do that automatically when I have the option ticked.
It would have to have a ton of settings to not just end up being annoying to use though...
I actually hadn't heard of this movie yet. I try not to keep up with movies and games so I'm not too disappointed by over-hyped content.
I got a little excited at just the title, and as soon as I saw "Ares (Jared Leto)" all desire to watch it went out the window, my insides dropped a little, and the Tron Legacy is now derezzed. Pun entirely intended.
Damn, are you a ventrilloquist? because you said the words, but implied they came out of someone else's mouth! Fascinating.
Yes, someone would have. Eventually.
But valve did it early.
It's easy to fill a niche once it's formed. Not so easy to do before, or as it's forming. Or predict if one will form.
I'm not saying valve or Gabe had some kind of foresight or wisdom, I still think it was a gamble. It just happens to be a gamble that worked.
When my neighbor still drives the truck for the company that shot my son for taking an illegal sip of rain water, my neighbor is the enemy and will be judged for his complicity.
My 4 month old laptop has hdmi on the back, ethernet on the left, four usb 3.whatever slots with two on each side, two USB c slots on the right side, and a microsd slot.
I think it even has a 3.5mm headset jack but I'd have to get out of bed to check. I don't have any peripherals that use 3.5mm anymore though so it's just a nice little bonus.
She will never forgive me for making her my mother's potato casserole.
Oh man, Bunnicula was probably the first book I ever chose to read of my own free will, not because it was in my parents library, an assigned book, or gifted to me.
First grade me had no idea what choosing a book would do to your desire to read.
(the point you were making) Their head
I'll be honest, I thought Ohio would be higher...
One of two things is going to happen when companies decide they own (all) the fresh water (and people become desperate)
Either the company hires enough goons and/or thugs to keep their "investment" safe through lethal force and scare the plebs away, possibly employing bribing "lobbying" governments to do it for them
OR
The people who are right there next to water sources they are being told to pay more than they can afford to drink from will arm themselves and overwhelm the defending forces with sheer numbers, resulting in an internationally covered bloodbath, kickstarting Water War 1 as other companies rush to beat back any perceived defiance, nations attempt to secure access to fresh water whether it's on their land or not, and normal people prepare for the worst.
Regretting it afterwards
I'm not a data hoarder, I just don't like deleting something that I may want to open at some point in the distant future...
Sub-caps are the worst.
I mean.... It was a gamble. Internet was still young. Speeds weren't keeping up with game sizes outside a few major cities. I was mailed a few large files because it was quicker than downloading them. Not to mention the desire for physical copies over a digital thing you can lose with a bad hard drive was at an all time high.
Then people realized the internet wasn't just nerd shit, ISPs slowly ramped up their DL speeds and suddenly the thing people mocked for not being feasible is doing well because of how convenient it became.
Gabe even admits he had doubts for awhile.
I wonder where gaming would be if he had listened to the doubters. There's no denying valve has had a major impact on modern gaming
I did not hit her I did naaaaaht
