Well… if you want most of the main story but without the gameplay, someone had made a movie out of the cutscenes awhile back.
I ended up quitting on the final boss. Partly because I was gut punched by an unexpected plot point just prior. But also because it was the third big fight since the last save point and I got lost on the mechanics. I caught the ending through the movie I found.
Also, the other good Ion Storm game, Anachronox.
I haven’t played it in 20 years and still remember some great moments.
8pm thru 12am is prime time for streaming. Netflix would need to pivot or go out of business.
Since most phones networks now operate over IP, overnight customer service would break. The US can no longer use call centers in India for daytime call centers.
Batch jobs requiring Internet access can no longer run overnight. Instead they would need to run during the day, tying up bandwidth and CPU for other users. System engineers would need to take this into consideration.
It would be more difficult to coordinate with friends when going out at night. You could no longer order an Uber at 2am if you’re drunk off your ass. DWI events would increase.
Well I guess these aren’t sex stones.
What is a sex stone, you may ask?
It’s a fucking rock.
Once you get past their boring singles, Nickelback isn’t all that bad.
“One point twenty one jigawatts!”
Idle games or incremental games are my go-to for casual play. At the moment I’m playing through NGU Idle mainly because It’s a super slow burn but unlocks lots of goofy features over time. I’ve been progressing for a couple years now.
The video is TL;DW for me right now, but there’s a comment on the video which is fascinating enough on its own to pique my interest:
Back in 1997, a nasty October storm knocked down some power lines near my home. One of our dogs ended up getting her back legs paralyzed after going outside and had to be put down. We thought she stepped on a downed line, but after seeing your demonstration with the Hulk Hogan figure, I think I have a better understanding of what happened. Just going near the downed line would have been enough to do the damage.
In very rare cases (nuclear fusion) the water is destroyed into its primitive elements
Simple electrolysis will split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.
Nuclear reactions will change the atoms, but you don’t have to go that far to break down water.
That’s a really good illustration of scale. The last time i saw a demo like this it used 3D rendered cubes. There’s something wonderful about using an actual, physical medium for this.
I’ve heard the “won’t always have a calculator” line, but more impressive was the one time our math teacher demonstrated the ability to solve the problem on the blackboard faster than we could whip out our calculators and punch in the numbers.
She showed her work, too.
I see no reason why they couldn’t. There’s even built-in support for bots in the user settings, at least in Lemmy.
Like on Reddit, it will take some moderation to keep the more malicious bots under control in the Fediverse.
If the size of the PR is a concern, maybe the maintainers will allow a staged approach. Create an Issue describing the feature and indicate step by step how you would implement. Then break the work into multiple pull requests.
If necessary, you could introduce a toggle that’s switched off by default until the feature is fully implemented.
Maybe there never was a cake.
I’m sure it’s highly subjective. But if you want to go about it scientifically, you can survey a number of strangers to answer the question for you.
Now, where to find those strangers…
This was such a unique game. It was like a merge of a tight corridor first person shooter and a space combat simulator where there is no “up”. I haven’t seen anything like it since.
There’s one still open in NY.
