It doesn't help that the game is objectively terrible. Worse than snakes and ladders by a mile. Especially the end-game is just... throwing dice and walking in a circle until some player gets unlucky.

Oh god, we've got a copy of this game somewhere. I'm pretty sure the clock is broken and runs too fast or something, because it's completely impossible to finish within the time limit. We always kept score based on how many

One hack to almost get a justified gallery like that with no javascript is to lay them out with flexbox, setting their width to a percentage or vw value which your backend calculates based on image aspect ratio and desired image height, u

As far as I can tell happiness is relative in any case, I'm not sure that accounting for that in the question is a bad thing.

I've never been in a more orderly queue than when I went to a Sabaton concert. I figure the music is the outlet for aggression, so there's no need to find an outlet in picking fights or things of that nature.

You can still get actual "proper" double boiled linseed oil. It's not even especially expensive, just mildly annoying to source. It's a surprisingly durable finish for outdoor furniture etc, just takes an age to cure com

I agree misinformation is a big problem. Possibly the biggest problem of our time, right next to global warming. But as it stands now, as a queer person, you can find a spot on the internet with like-minded people. Even when closeted. Hel

Not to mention that loads of people detour through pescetarianism on their way to vegetarianism. But even if you stop at pescetarianism that's still a wild improvement on plenty of metrics over eating other meats. There seems to be thi

While what you're saying sounds like a reasonable enough stance on the face of it, keep in mind that this would deeply fuck over closeted queer folks among other marginalized groups.

Toolstation still has a model like that, and I gotta say I love it. They also seem to hire people who actually know something about the products they sell which is an unfortunate rarity these days.

Note that the actual material used has a glass transition temperature around 50 degrees, not 200. If the part was actually made from ABS-CF (as the pilot thought it was) it'd stand a decent chance of surviving for a long time given tha

You'd be very hard pressed to confuse PLA with carbon fiber reinforced ABS. The latter has a definite surface texture that's hard to get confused with that of PLA.

But who in their right mind is storing textures uncompressed? and that still fits over two thousand 4k textures in a 130GiB game. Are there really that many things you'd look at close enough to fill a whole screen in a game?

In Minecraft one of the common ways to catch people using x-ray hacks or transparent texture packs is to run statistics on the blocks mined. If the ratio of stone-to-diamond gets significantly out of whack it's a sure sign someone is c

I don't think your reasoning here is correct. Take a bicycle wheel for example. The spokes on a bicycle wheel do not take any compressive forces due to the way they are attached to the rim, and yet bicycle wheels can take surprising

I think the main crux is whether or not characters are believable idiots. I loved the first jurrasic park because while yes people are idiots, they are idiots for reasons people in real life are idiots too. It's well-motivated idiocy

Honestly I'm hoping the steam machine is gonna put some pressure on game devs to knock it off with the absurdly high spec requirements. There's plenty of modern titles that require a top of the line card that don't look any b

I can't say for the US, but over here the coin system is ubiquitous, and if you've not got a coin you can ask at the service desk and they'll hand you a branded coin to use.

"conformal coating" is the thing to google, though that only protects the PCB and not the tricky bits. You'd still need to figure out a way to waterproof connectors and buttons and moving bits like that.

Fair warning about rec room: That game is quite possibly slightly too immersive. Playing frisbee I dented the ceiling, and playing paintball I managed to dive head-first into a closet.

I'll never forget the hilarious moment when given a grenade with a missing pin, I opened various cupboards to find a replacement pin only for more grenades to pile out. "I Expect You To Die" is a very funny game. Great for wh

I think the reason take so much offense at e.g. pugs is because they don't need to be bred that way . Where I'm at a law was passed making it illegal to breed dogs with congenital conditions. As a result basically all the pugs yo

For everyone in the comments assuming these will be unrepairable I... don't think they will be? As far as I can tell this has zipper teeth on cord instead of tape. I don't see why that'd be impossible to hand-sew. It might be
