My shop usually offers to drive me somewhere. Also helps to live in a country with viable public transportation. And higher tier shops even have cheap car rentals which often even tie into people’s insurance.

You may be right, but a cherry with pit in a bunch of pitless cherries is the worst.

People try to put us u-u-under a nonorientable 5 dimensional plane.

Mod support can’t come quickly enough.

Skill issue.

As a VR game by the Alien Isolation guys would be nice.

I got our engagement rings from a gumball machine. Was really hard to find. And even harder to find one that sold rings. When I had finally found one I didn’t have a single 20 cent coin it required on me. I flagged down passerby from across the street. She gave me two coins and refused to take my one Euro in exchange.

Those two coins netted me five balls, which included three rings. I selected the most beautiful and headed home.

We’ve been married for over 13 years so far.

Sounds like AI with extra steps.

Probably Bee Maja, Wickie and the strong men or Heidi. Tons of classic German children’s shows are actually animes.

I bet they want to be played. They’re just a little shy, is all.

Reminds me of the time I had to make an interface for a set top box by Deutsche Telekom. It was severely underpowered and I had to work with some very quirky browser. I think the browser was based on Internet Explorer.

It was super slow and couldn’t handle anything asynchronous. Which meant that it would lock up for even the simplest operation. And they insisted on their buttons having button down animations. Which meant that I had to slow down the incredibly slow machine artificially so that you could see the animation. And it wasn’t enough to slow it down just for the animation duration. You had to give it some extra time because it was so damn underpowered. I think in the end a button push took a whole second extra time.

And it was still faster than what they had produced themselves before that, even though their thing didn’t have any animations.

The worst was that those machines actually did have a fancy hardware accelerated interface one could use. But for some reason they weren’t ready yet for that. So everything I had done was just a placeholder anyways.

It was funny during the transition period. You could hear through the timing of cheers during football matches who in the neighbourhood was analogue and who was digital.

But yeah, recording features were really nice for the transition to streaming.

Mostly because of the timing of the electron beam. That let the game see which target you hit. Otherwise you could hit everything by shooting any bright light.

Depends on where you live and what you do. A car is definitely nice to have in (minor) emergencies.

But if you live in a region where everything is in a walkable distance and/or you have good public transportation you don’t really need a car.

But it’s also very practical to have when you need to transport big and heavy stuff.

Also, some jobs require you to have a driver’s licence.

Analogue TV was much faster with much lower latency than digital TV.

Quantum physics. But I’m at a stage where I actually would have to really start learning. YouTube videos don’t cut it anymore. I would have to actually understand the maths and my brain can’t handle that at the moment.

My brain got stupid. So I cannot read subs for too long. Shit also stopped my Baldur’s Gate 2 playthrough.

It’s not impossible. It’s being done all the time. It’s just tedious complicated work. So if you don’t have someone willing to invest their time and expertise it won’t be done for most stuff.

Where did you take that number from? The source code is by far the smallest part of most games.
