A friend of mine once told me he got stuck at the first "is it tangible" question with trying to answer whether or not "Germany" was tangible. Depends if you are referring to the landmass or the concept I suppose.

I agree that there are... issues with Squenix games from time to time on mobile (e.g. font issues on the new remasters of FF I-VI), but none of the games I mentioned enforce cloud saves.

If you haven't played them yet, Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy I-VI are all available on mobile app stores. DQ IV-VI in particular are very charming and hold up well (imho!). If you're more of a western RPG guy I believe Icewind D

I agree that it's aimless to just be toxic or mean to (most) crypto fans, especially those that are genuinely arguing in good faith. That won't stop me chuckling at those that have been duped by a blatant pump and dump.

It's part of the culture of frontend programming. In the past I've needed to display a timestamp as something like "n weeks ago" (in a mac app). My first instinct was to write a quick function to do the transform. Then I

From the perspective of a _more_ socialist (but still ultimately capitalist) European country, it seems that the group throwing themselves off a cliff are the more purist capitalist types in America. There are other solutions than full-on S

I suppose it depends how you learn! For some it is likely better to do what you suggested and start with what's current and then work backwards - but for me I needed to know why certain limitations were in place, and that required me t

On the contrary, I felt that understanding where x86 had come from helped me understand the reason why the registers were named what they were, why some instructions are longer than others, etc. It's confusing as a beginner to encounte

They would get an initial ~€300M for signing on [1], then a further €130-200M per year [2]. That presumably doesn't include matchday income, which could be a lot higher per match than now due to the higher quality opposition / tea
