lime!

i thought you had to use garlic bread? man, i’ve been overpaying

i did think about it and it matches my experience. i will read the rest of the thread.

Edit: i have now read the rest of the thread. nobody seems to agree and i see no sources.

well when you challenge an opinion you usually offer an alternative opinion.

ah, so you have an alternative explanation?

you have to drink it at the gate to show that it’s safe

that format would mangle so many names. my legal name is my middle name, so it would fail. my grandfather’s first name was Jan Erik (with a space, it’s still a single name), it would fail on that. i know a guy named Göran, it would fail on that (ö is not an accented o, it is a separate letter, but it will slugify to o due to browsers being browsers).

actually, come to think of it, wouldn’t this also mangle the default due to ‘friend’ not being properly capitalized?

basically, we’ve learned nothing since ‘falsehoods programmers believe about names’. that was 14 years ago.

it looks sort of like a continuation of the beaker browser project. basically, a peer to peer browser that also serves content you have made to others using the browser. it’s a cute idea.

furries in denial?!?

100%

this reads like a teenager wrote it

it’s the result of a paper on the social hierarchies of captive wolves, which was retracted when it turned out that they work completely differently in the wild. bragging about being an alpha is basically asserting that you would be a top in prison.

The Incredible Machine! the original Rube Goldberg game. me and my friends played the shit out of it in the 90s. a few years ago i decided to give it a google and i found out that not only were there an expansion i hadn’t heard of, there were five other games in the series.

i don’t know about “cross” :P it’s a bit-for-bit reimplementation of Elite 2. i loved that game as a kid and pioneer is a great version of it.

i’m currently going through it! company is slowly collapsing around me and despite promises of transparency there is no official communication from the board. we get all our information from news articles and office gossip. people are quitting left and right and no acknowledgement of this is made from above. it’s a very odd situation.

it’s more than that Kola, it’s large.

me and three friends have been spending on average 80 hours each on a space age game together since the expansion released, and we’re currently in the process of getting the third planet (out of five) to produce evenly without getting stuck.

each planet has basically it’s own tech tree, and you need to re-learn how to build a factory every time because the conditions are so different.

where we are now, the only resource is “scrap”. building a factory here involves basically running the entire process to build something in reverse, disassembling broken machine parts to extract the components, sorting them, and reusing them in new things. we’re completely swamped in blue circuits, batteries and low density structures, which isn’t much help when you need pipes.

don’t know why nobody stated this but space age is basically five times larger than the base game. they’ve announced that even though the game is coming to switch, space age is not since it has much higher requirements.

it’s not a dlc, it’s a proper expansion.

yeah one thing we couldn’t fix before losing interest was eventual consistency and authority. files would sort of flicker in and out while state was being propagated. i dread to think what kind of bandwidth use that thing would have when sharing large files.

yeah it’s been set up to look that way. although i do love the idea that the outline looks like that because he *splat*ed against the wall and bounced clean off.

i mean that’s the point though, to codify the will of the people.

and honestly, if that makes live service games go the way of the dodo, good riddance. it’s a predatory practice that uses fomo for players retention.

i don’t know of a single town here that has overhead power lines in populated areas. those are for long-distance transmission only.

or, okay, i know of one. but that’s because there’s a steel mill and a hydropower plant there, and you don’t wan to bury lines that carry that around of energy.

buildings with upward-facing spotlights, especially single-family homes with façade lights. it’s like nobody cares about light pollution.
