It will load up many plates for you to spin, don’t worry! Especially with the DLCs, you end up with essentially 5 or 6 maps to simultaneously play. This game is an incredible time sink; I can lose entire days to it because there’s always “j

Not at all. It’s about as necessary as owning a metal foundry is for someone who wants to use their cloud-enabled car. They don’t need the base materials, they need a turnkey solution. It’s a nice-to-have if you could resolve the part abo

This is a very hackeresque, blinkers-on response. Your idea may work for technical systems used by technical users, but in this case (and I'd bet my bottom dollar most cases are similar) that the products are intended for non-technica

Tech is not necessary. You just have to make the subjects interesting to learn. Good teachers are way more value than they are valued, and will make the classes interesting to learn.

It really doesn’t, absent a few key games. I’ve just built a new gaming PC and I’ve gone straight with Arch. I was worried the compatibility I experienced with the steam deck may be isolated to the steam deck but it’s shocking how far it’s

What's so strange about that as a concept? As someone who grew up in the 90s, the idea of doing so is totally normal for me. I mean, I don't do it, but I wouldn't blink at someone else saying they did. How do you think people

“Apart from engineering” is doing some seriously heavy lifting here. Writing the actual code is likely just an afterthought by comparison. The engineering - identification of a target weakness, the design of the exploit chain, etc. - is ove
