It is very much the motto this idiot lives by. He just wasn’t the first to coin that phrase.

I mean, with resurrection being possible I think divorces would be far less often.

But especially in rich families there would probably be a lot of murdering and resurrecting, just to get out of some forced marriage.

I really like the idea of not being the powerhouse on the battlefield, but the difficult thing will be to make it fun and also give you a progression, where you are not just the tank at the end again. The player needs to be the smart little weasel between the hyenas and not just the lion.

The trailers till now already established a great atmosphere, let’s just hope they can also make a great game fitting to the visuals.

Shouldn’t the mod only affect what you yourself see? So in principle if SquareEnix doesn’t host the mod content, it shouldn’t be their legality, right?

And? Nearly everything is a self inflicted problem. You could just lay down and stop bothering, so why don’t you do that?

Do I like long nails? Hell no. Does it affect me if somebody buys this keyboard to type and have long nails? Also hell no.

Yeah, that was a strange moment. Those in the company being for Altman, I can understand. They expected big returns of investment from keeping him around. But the outsiders on the internet cheering him on? Felt like Elon Musk in the beginning again. And yes I also fell for his engineer persona in the beginning. But I learned from that.

Meh, the mobile phone port they sell on steam is not comparable to the original, but you are right on the principle.

Well, that is a very open ended question.

My thoughts on emulation is that it is an absolute necessity in order to preserve the history of gaming. However, it will also probably always be a grey area regarding copyright. Especially with emulation of current gen I find it not okay, since the original creator still earns money with it. But if a game or console is not sold anymore? Nobody loses money from me using an emulator to play Chrono Trigger with save states and increased game speed to make the farming and boss fights easier.

Evoland 2! Where the first game is mainly reference and no game, the second one is a completely original story and world which includes references. I highly recommend it.

Or you can use the billions you invest in that and invest it instead in renewables and batteries. Because that is cheaper per MWh

Nope from me, I only get a blank page.

It’s not automatic everywhere! I’m pretty sure deciding where the money from the budget goes is the biggest decision the current government can take for shaping the country. But in other countries this is mostly passed by Parliament, where the government has the majority by design most of the time (that’s why they are the ruling party or coalition). On the USA, the Congress and Senate thing is responsible for the deadlock.

That’s also the part I’m glad about. Not to put the Nazis on a pedestal or anything, but propaganda was something they took serious. Now it seems more like the right accidentally hits the notes their followers want to hear.

Soviet Russia never really said it was communist, neither did the other east European states. They said they had socialism and communism was the goal to reach in the future.

1914-1918, 1939-1945 probably. Also when the black plague was in other regions. Probably also during the great cleansing in Maoist China.

2020 there were at least 247 emu-adjacent birds (nandu/rhea), after some intervention. The highest counted was 2018 with 566.

Thanks for sharing this video. While it is a bit long and has some duplication about some games in the introduction part and the specific game parts, it was nonetheless interesting to hear about this in depth talk about the romance genre.

I think the biggest problem romance in games will always have is the inherent contradiction between game mechanics and the realistic development of a relationship. It will be between the two extremes of being a pre written story or being a “relationship vending machine”. But maybe somebody will find a way to combine both in the future. I never would have guessed that I found it fascinating to play a autocratic countries border guard and then along come Papers, Please, so who knows.

I don’t really understand the downvotes, is it due to the length or directly proving the point of the video that too many people are scared of romance in games?

Oh for sure, I don’t blame the companies for doing it. I’m blaming the customers for being stupid enough to fall for it. Again. And again. And again.

But that is what we others are saying: there is no “more intuitive” system, just one you know better and can quicker evaluate how it would feel! So you agree with us.

Everything you said can be said about Celsius scale as well.

There is also a precedence for Celsius more than just an arbitrary number between 0 & 100.

A scale for liquid water, you know, the stuff that is the reason why we call our little spaceship "the blue marble"and why we even have this discussion, because it is the basis of all life on earth, is also not a bad choice for a number between 0-100.

And you made me curious: in what context did you have to calculate percentages of temperature that were not in Kelvin? Because as soon as percentages and temperatures are close to each other in one sentence the only example I can think of are things like reaction kinetic calculations and those are neither in Celsius nor in Fahrenheit.
