Oh, I did grow up before video games were a thing, so I am aware of how CRTs worked. You just made it sound like CRTs would somehow provide tactile feedback while gaming, which I couldn’t place at all, given the context.

If I look at something that I don’t understand but that a large group of people clearly values very highly, trained experts in the field included, my first instinct is not to form a dismissive opinion based on personal preference. I’ll typically try to find whatever is hidden from me upon first glance. You clearly adopted a different strategy.
How did you arrive at the conclusion that your judgement of art is ultimately meaning-, or even insightful?

No, I came here, looking for that exact comment
That dude is joking of course, but touching someone in a subtle manner can be used to both express and indicate interest.
If all else fails, entangle him with silk and consume him.
Have you tried taking a break from your medication to reset? Mine even recommends doing that every now and then in the leaflet.
Just make sure not to simply stop taking it, and talk to your doctor first.
Yeah, in general, that’s true. Unfortunately, that’s not the whole truth, as usual. I found these sites helpful:

IMHO, there is too much legal fragmentation and a discrepancy between the federal classification and the treatment of e-bikes as regular bikes. I also prefer the slower speed limits and simplified classification most EU member states adopted (15mph, 250W continuous motor power)
Similar story, except I’m a bit older. I got diagnosed later in life due to the amount of energy the coping mechanisms you mentioned cost me, and I came to a point in life where I could no longer afford that.
If you feel you’re at maybe 70% capacity, you can probably go on, even if something in your life will change. If you’re scraping by with the occasional malfunction / mishap, you might want to reconsider getting help.
Just a thought.
Yeah, but that is already illegal in 90% of the places, which makes it an issue not really related to the concept of an e-bike.
I have been living in Europe for quite a while now, and e-bikes here are limited to about 15mph, e-scooters can go up to 12mph. While you can buy modding kits just fine, I haven’t seen a single modded bike in regular traffic in the last 9 years.
There are higher powered devices that can legally go faster, but that means you need a helmet and a license plate.
Let’s not claim that e-bikes and cargo e-bikes do not make a huge difference in cities and rural areas (for completely different reasons). It’s legislation and enforcement of the existing laws that suck, not the idea of a vehicle that can assist its driver.
No, it’s not. However, you might notice that you develop a dependency faster than others, and to a greater extent. I can’t really drink coffee as it will make me slightly more alert, help with concentration and general energy levels, until after 3 days, the effects have diminished so far that I’m at 14 cups to even remotely stay awake.
Given that you can’t up your caffeine intake to arbitrarily high levels, what follows is a fast crash and constant exhaustion, while still drinking a shitload of coffee.
I got diagnosed late in life (in my 50s) and I have stopped consuming caffeine at all due to having access to medication. That resulted in a totally different (read: fixed) sleep cycle and regular energy levels over the course of the day.
Honestly, fuck caffeine.
Yeah, that’s the implication. Unfortunately, that is also misleading people into believing they might get a well-tested, nearly bug free game.
Glad to hear that you found a position where your work experience is enjoyable and compatible with your desired life style. Given your last sentence, I hope you can see how the legislation mentioned here could potentially help people who have not yet been so lucky to achieve that.
At 7h / day of just testing, 200k hours amount to approximately 110 years, given 260 working days per year.
Veilguard has been in development for around 9 years, so thats about 12 “years of testing per year”, so pretty much at least 12 people doing nothing else but testing (this assumes sane working conditions - hi EA!)
Given how long the game has been in development, what does that number even mean? How much of the stuff they wrote 9 years ago is still in place, given that players would expect the technological advancements available since 2015.
Also, it’s supposed to be released end of October, I believe? Or has it been postponed even further (again)? Anyway, why would they claim something like that before release? That will probably backfire.
You mean the company that had a feature in place that allowed law enforcement to request and access video footage from your devices without obtaining a warrant first?
As expected, their security measures were also found to be lacking.
Yeah, no thanks.
I wish the girl would have made the comment. Plenty of opportunities to make a compliment, too.
Are you trying to imply that Deborah Ann Woll does not genuinely love DnD?
Topic aside: handmade, floating 3d speech bubbles!
NewPipe stops working whenever Google updates YouTube with a breaking change that NewPipe needs to integrate then, e. g. renaming parameters, changing URLs and the like.
NewPipe has been steadily working for years, with the expected interrupts as they have to play catch up with YouTube. That typically only lasts a few days, sometimes hours, though.
But it’s not just information, someone sat in front of their computer and put the work in to design it, then print it and iterate.
You’re paying for that process, and for the time and effort the person took to acquire the necessary skills.
However, there should be a noticeable price difference due to the easy scaling / replicatibility when distributing digital goods.
I’m with you insofar as the final product feels like it should be 3 bucks, not the file.
