Were you older than 12 when you first tried to play it? Because that’d do it.

I was 12 when I played it and I loved it so much that I wrote a convincing essay on why it was the greatest game ever. I then freehand drew the logo as a cover to the essay. I attach a copy on my resume.

Palworld didn’t plagiarize them. This is what the kids call a nothingburger.

Obviously there are loads of similar designs, but in a way that indicates illegal asset stealing? That’s a different question, and so-called “lazy design” aping on other creations doesn’t qualify as actual theft unless it can be explicitly proven.

More grimly, it is a big corporation trying to squash an upstart competitor and suppress art. If they succeed then it is truly dystopian and a sign that we need more legal protections against overzealous copyright litigators.

By Freaky Friday rules you would just be giving them another identity to send in affirming reports.

They’re smart to balance their checkbooks on the way out. They never let any opportunity to consume go to waste.

It depends what you mean by support. They made the Steam Link for 3 years and have not made it for 5 years.

Jeez and I feel like I’m tempting fate just by using a custom domain.

I’d be surprised if they don’t start setting performance records soon. First plasma was a few weeks ago.

If waste heat becomes a problem then we have been wildly successful beyond our most optimistic hopes. Signs point to that future being an utter fantasy. It’s squarely in the “good problems” category. I wish we could just choose between another order of magnitude increase in industrial output and increasing the temperature of the planet by a few degrees

Not in New England. It used to be the #6 and it’s been gone since the Summer.

They dropped the two cheeseburgers meal this year. That was the most American meal they offered and they just dropped it.

Absurd. My wife and I quote this all the time.

This is not a Just World fallacy because I'm not talking about justice or people getting what they deserve. My assumption is that OS developers are competent. Until I see otherwise I'll maintain that assumption.

If there were better options then they would have been adopted.

High speed receivers are much more complex than transmitters. Just shoving some bits down the line with a bit of emphasis filter training is not that tricky. Tuning a receiving emphasis filter while simultaneously recovering the clock and performing error correction requires many more transistors, which uses more power and costs more to produce. HDMI receiver chips on digikey are 2-10x more expensive than transmitter chips.

Beyond the technical reasons, there is the fact that media companies have a vested interest in not having video input being prolific. They have a long history of fighting technologies such as VCRs. In the shadowy internet era you can let your imagination run wild with what motivations they set up in what industries to make HDMI receivers less prolific.

Also, for those talking about HDMI over Ethernet: be careful. HDMI is actually quite high bandwidth. There’s a reason the cables stop working after a few feet and it isn’t because they’re poorly designed or manufactured (though that’s surely the case for crap you get on amazon). Cat 1 million isn’t magic. It’s still beholden to Shannon’s limit in copper twisted pair. You can’t shove 25 GbE over any copper longer than a few meters of TwinAx. There are plenty of solutions on the market that are too good to be true and simply won’t work at the pixel clocks they advertise, yet will happily take hundreds of your dollars and weeks of your time.

What’s the oxygen situation like?

AI efforts aspire to reach the accuracy of Portal 2’s Fact Sphere.

Maybe they can stick the landing this time. All they needed to do was show one shot of the pack of four cats reunited during the credits. The parallel theme between the pack of four stray cats and the crew of four robots called the outsiders was an essential part of the plot and then they just leave it hanging.

I feel also really frustrated to know that a pedophile or any criminal is able to escape justice because the encryption is good enough

How do you know something that’s provably false? Pedophiles who evade justice are not doing careless things that need end to end encryption, like backing up their porn to iCloud. The problem doesn’t start or end with encryption. The policy is entirely about privacy and has nothing to do with protecting children.

Yeah but they were particle accelerators that shot electrons towards your face at relativistic speeds (the phosphor grid and lead lining made use more pleasurable). That’s just too damn cool.
