At least, if you put too much money into one, there’s a threshold between those being financially successful or not, so if they flood the market, they will also leave a bunch of dead studios in their wake while good games thrive.
Oh, what’s the threshold?
It’s called Ubisoft.
There’s not enough space for two of them. So it’s beat them or lose it.
Truth be told, I started watching Once Upon a Time In Hollywood having zero context of what the hell the story is meant to actually be about until half way when someone told me, and it vastly improved the movie.
Like, the woman just looked like a useless character you know. And would keep looking so.
Portugal and Spain would have never even started the treaty if they didn’t already suspect the existence of South America. Spain particularly would have absolutely not had it. If anything, it’s Africa that would look more like a splintered mess. So trying to go about the shape of the world by that standard is probably the wrong idea.
I guess I’m lucky and actually find both the native chrome groups and the firefox simple tab group addon that uses hidden tabs equally good approaches.
Specially since the tab groups work with the multiaccount container feature. With Chrome, I generally keep separate guest accounts and windows for that, because the sessions are bit messy otherwise.
On Chrome, you can join tabs into a colored group with a name and then collapse that group so that it occupies considerably less space in the bar. Useful to organize your browsing into tidy buckets.
On Firefox, there’s no adequate innate manner of doing that. But the browser has an add-on called simple tab groups that uses a native “hidden tabs” feature to make a similar approach. The difference is it adds a button to the left that becomes a drop-down menu, and each of the entries is a colored and named group, and pressing one, hides the rest and bring up the tabs you previously in the one selected.
I find either just as good, and instrumental to browsing. For example, I have a red group just for YouTube, where like 20 tabs are open and to or from which I occasionally drag a tab.
Yeah. I’m of the same mind. I was here to witness the resurgence of Boomer and Movement Shooters. Now, we’re in the cusp of the resurgence of RTS. I am very much happy with the state of gaming, without having to focus on sequels.
The last game published by 505 I played were apparently Indivisible, which was trash. I never played Ghostrunner nor Control which basically eliminates most of their notable recent output. I think I can safely say I’ll be fine with my continued ignoring of them as a publisher.
I was in one with all of the proper setup, fucking 10/10 CI pipelines, tests, the works. Someone just made stellar templates. 0 documentation tho and if you need to launch something in dev, get fucked. 0 task management, minimal meetings, barely a trello, and often you’d be like “okay what I do now?”.
I think some deathcults where the whole point is “live to 50, throw a massive party for the cult and go on a month long vacation, then kill yourself” might get some members. But they won’t really be that influential.
Most likely will be the rise of the “work the least possible, care the least possible” culture. China already saw it happen, it was called “Lying flat”.
Don’t watch kurzgesagt’s video on “South Korea”* getting older, if you don’t want to know the awful answer to that.
People will have and get social security paid. But the environment wars and mass immigration will be the answer, which means you’ll be looking at 20 years of conservatives bitching and whining.
Want to avoid it on a personal level? Emigrate to north europe. Sad, but it is what it is.
video is more general than that. But they used korea as the clickbait.
Just found out google will mess with you and demand a captcha if you’re on a VPN in certain locations. They’re absolutely trying to ruin every single aspect of the internet they can.
Why would it need to create energy and mass out of nothing? Why are assuming the energy either comes from nothing or wasn’t already there. Or better yet, that nothing as a source is a problem to begin with?
Conservation of energy applies to a universe. There are no such rules written out for imaginary multiversal mechanics. The “but mass and energy” thing gets thrown in the trash long before we reach this point, we stopped talking about matters of mass and energy two paragraphs ago. It’s the same as asking “but why CAN you fly in your dreams? What about gravity, what happened to it?”.
They don’t exist. No one can prove otherwise yet. They’re as bullshit as whatever we want them to be.
Today I spoke to a coworker who had bad experiences with doctors and was seeking recommendations for a new one, then other coworkers chimed in, and so I decided to ask you guys as well. Well, not for a doctor recommendation, but about your bad experienced with doctors?...
I’m kinda surprised another company hasn’t made something to legit compete with iMessage yet.
I’m going to ask what you mean. Even WeChat, which is one of the worst “main” chat applications I have the displeasure to use, does everything it does.
This is difficult to explain. I can’t figure out a rule of thumb for spending, the prices of things fluctuate so quickly it’s confusing. Here are some examples...
I am literally in actual China today and I have no idea what cake they mean.
Edit: I’ve seen the image below. Yeah, I don’t associate that with china.
With that said I know you didn’t mean it as China has no notable cake, but I can associate at least one cake with the most China thing ever. Ma Lai Gao. The one you see in every single dim sum restaurant. Kinda like sponge cake.

I get that AMP sites are supposed to load faster. But why do they have to be so ugly?
Or why do they need to change the appearance from the original version of the page at all? It just looks unaesthetic
In the most scientific way possible? How real is the possibility that there might actually be alternative universes?
