Honestly, this course would have been a game-changer for those of us who went to terrible colleges with minimal opportunities for internships. The disconnect between theoretical classes and practical ones was simply too vast to grasp for th

Nintendo is the publisher, yes. They also publish games from other developers (e.g. Bayonetta 2, Xenoblade Chronicles). Their other tentpole franchises are mostly developed in-house (Zelda, Splatoon, Mario Kart), via subsidiaries (Retro Stu

Modern CRPG's are pretty great, I enjoyed all of the following: - Divinity OS 1/2 - Underrail - Age of Decadence - Bastard Bonds - Serpent in the Staglands - Tyranny - Torment: Tides of Numenera However, I did not care for Pillars

I highly recommend Underrail - while the graphics are a bit simplistic (it was made entirely by a Ukrainian programmer/artist), it's the closest we've got to a modern Fallout 1/2. I'm also looking forward to Obsidia

Elixir's IEx.pry/0 function, that opens a REPL at a particular point of execution, is probably the stdlib function I call the most while developing. In a compiled language, to boot.

I don't know, they were massively popular in India too, with local translations of most of the names. I still remember Getafix as Etashetamix (lit. "mix of this and that") first and foremost.

As you said, the common Axe blink-call combo does not work on these bots; they dodge it immediately. What was interesting to me was that since the bots trained against themselves, they discarded this combo as being ineffective - the result

Can I get a source on this? 36C isn't that uncommon a temperature where I'm at - it'll even hit 36+ on a hot winter's day.
