I don’t understand

Convenience store employees are unlikely to see it that way lol.

In case you’re curious, the drinking age in Quebec is, in fact, 18.

Hah, I had the exact reverse experience. For years when I had a delivery they would come by once (of course not staying nearly long enough to allow me to answer the door) and leave a notice saying the package would be at their warehouse the following day starting at 17:00.

The warehouse was pretty far. The round trip would take nearly 2 hours by bus. And since they opening hours weren’t ideal, if I happened to have a class or be otherwise busy the one night of the week they’re open late, well I guess I’d better find a solution, because they’ll only keep it for a week.

I would plead with them. Can you come back? Can you leave it at my door? It’s not even worth that much! I’ll take the risk! No. At least one thing they did agree to do was keep my package a bit longer once when I realized I had absolutely no way of retrieving it in time. But they only gave me two days.

It was only when COVID hit that delivery companies started just leaving packages. Sometimes they just wouldn’t tell you at all about it, and you’d have a surprise when you’d open the door and hit your foot on a surprise package, if you hadn’t kept up with the tracking.

Some people complained, because they were scared someone would steal their stuff, but I was so glad they were careless. I’ve worked from home ever since COVID.

Finally, I can order a thing and actually receive it at home.

Are we both talking about the original game for Nintendo 64? Because that sounds like a bit of an overstatement to me if that’s the case.

Or am I remembering something wrong?

Doesn’t look bad at all, but aren’t Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series RPGs?

Feels weird to use them as examples for inspirations for a platformer.

Feels more like Yoshi’s Island elements thrown into a 2D version of Super Mario 3D World.

It must have been over 5 years ago. It turned me off. The culture there was so painful. People would refuse to answer a question just because they deemed the premise of your question unacceptable. Or even recommend you change your whole project’s language.

It was like that both in questions and in chat. I never tried again.

Rogue-likes, especially if each run is long. Man, the number of times I booted up One Way Heroics for “just a quick run” and realize hours later that I should’ve gone to bed long ago.

Wow, even worse than the pictures that are already super ugly? Yeesh.

That’s what my current bank uses for the web portal now to think of it. Client number, and 6-number PIN. I guess they’re only doing this because they really trust their “unusual activity” protocols, but I’ve got a feeling they really shouldn’t only rely on those.

Wow that’s a big oops

You remind me of my bank about 17 years ago. Everyone had to have a 10-character password, exactly, and it had to include exactly 2 numbers and 1 symbol. I wasn’t very knowledgeable about computers at the time and it already felt dumb.

Is this actually ADHD? It sounds more like anxiety to me 🤔

Why the hell did we ever privatize train tracks…

Argh, no images?

I really wanted to see the electrons.

Elden Ring with the Seamless Coop mod looks like great fun if you enjoy that type of game. I’ve wanted to try it for a long time.

Final Fantasy X blew my mind in pretty much every way possible. Never had I seen such amazing graphics, heard such great video game music, been immersed in such a gripping story in a game.

Honestly I think I may have been chasing that high ever since.

My favourite answer is “who the hell cares”.

I’ll preface all this by saying I’m not a native speaker of English, so my standards may be a bit lower than average.

Well the rallying support bit was a bit complicated. I also didn’t understand what HMMV meant at first.

That whole thing about a red line confused me at first. I thought you meant the geographical front line of the conflict.

Also it’s still not 100% clear to me what reaching a critical mass means in this context.

Generally speaking the sentences were a bit advanced and seemed to hedge on someone understanding military stuff and having a pretty extensive background on the conflict. I had to reread it attentively to understand, which is not what I’d generally expect of an ELI5 reply.

There’s also that whole thing about foreign weapons and their suppliers having some degree of control over what Ukrainians do with them, which wasn’t obvious to me.

These days Nintendo doesn’t really try to compete on performance. The Wii, for instance, was unapologetically what it was. You played relatively low-poly, low-res, low-texture games on it, but you played them, because they were fun and imaginative.

That’s their main thing. Performance comes, like, 4th.

However, this time, they got burned on their own games. Zelda Tears of the Kingdom had pretty obvious performance issues that even the normiest of normies could notice, for instance. And my memory is short but I think that wasn’t the only first-party game where performance was a challenge.

I think this time they’ll care about performance more than last time. It’s not like they’ve never done it. The really old consoles from the 20th century were competitive on performance, right?
