The biggest difference I see in what they’re proposing is that, in EVE, yes you train skills while logged off but you can’t be ganked, and in fact, logging off is a way to protect yourself from ganking in some circumstances. In the new game, presumably you can be ganked while logged off.
I hold that If their claims were true, any sketchy marketing would be forgiven very, very quickly.
Technically, they have a very short distance to climb if they wanted to: just give the battery (or preferably multiple batteries) to an independent 3rd party to test to their hearts content. If they aren’t full of shit, that’d clear things up in an instant. If someone can show their claims are true, that’s all they need.
If they are completely full of shit, then there’s no no way out of the hole. I think this is unlikely given the carefully selected tests they’ve already released— they have… something. It likely isn’t an entirely non-existent product appearing only on paper.
If they are only partially full of shit, in that they have a battery that is decent or better than current batteries but not totally fulfilling their claims, then it’s a moderate hole to climb out of. Some egg on the face, but survivable.
If they are substantially full of shit, with batteries that are equivalent or worse than current batteries, then they’re gonna be laughed out of the market real fast. Probably mentioned in the same breath as Peter Molyneux, for similar reasons.
The fuck does walking speed have to do with orientation? Do men get less gay as they get older and slow down?
I mean, cats are like that sometimes.
Oh, he was. He was in the wrong, utterly. But that’s not the story. The story and the reality are not the same thing. The story is that of an individual aggrieved, facing against an unstoppable faceless bureaucracy, who took matters into his own hands in the footsteps of our national heroes of the revolutionary war and the pioneers, and built a manly and impressive machine to enact that will with his own strength.
Nearly every word of the story is factually incorrect, but the story is so compelling, so resonant with our cultural values we’ve been taught since childhood, that the story takes in a life of its own.
Never heard of krita, I’ll have to check it out.
I don’t know. With the exception of a single feature, I’ve found photoshop better to use than GIMP. The one feature exception is GIMP’s wonderful “color to alpha” feature, and I always keep a gimp install around just for it.
Photoshop just seems easier to use, and more robust? With nicer effects, better filters, etc etc? At least for the features I tend to use. I’m not a professional by any means, but I tweak and composite and blend images a fair bit for my various hobbies (mostly ttrpgs).
For this reason, Dovah is typically considered an English “relex” rather than a conlang. Relex = Re-Lexicon.
I know it’s a joke that you’re implying that the poster is the one on the right talking about the one on the left… but English usually defaults to left to right informational flow even outside of writing, which makes me wonder— is your native language a Right to Left language, or does it use OVS word order? Just curious.
I find it helpful to realize that Chuck Norris memes are not about Chuck Norris, the human man, but rather Chuck Norris the fae-shadow who has devoured his story.
This is true for a lot of public figures, in fact. The story of a person can take on a life of its own, independent from the person itself. No, of course faeries aren’t real, but it’s a useful mental model.
I would highly suspect he forgot to edit it out. That seems so much more likely to me.
Yeah, the intro is a bit long, no denying that. I personally find the build up worth it though in terms of narrative payoff. But I do always dread the slow start when I replay it. Fair.
It’s not? OoT has a nice pc port too.
Not to mention that Twilight Princess is a good game, and beloved by many.
Taxes apply any time money changes hands. The existence of taxes is not the thing that should cause revolution. The hoarding of wealth by the wealthy is. They don’t get taxed because their money doesn’t change hands, and for many other reasons, not least of which is corruption and bribery.
It only kinda works like this. If you have two slits, looking at it or not, you will see the top one. Now, the really weird thing is that if you fire a single photon at a time, you will still get the top one over time, suggesting that the single photon is somehow going through both slits and interfering with itself to do so. But the even weirder thing is, if you place a detector in one of the two slits to check which slit the photon is going through? You suddenly get the bottom picture.
I think we are.
Businesses are capable of providing useful things to the world. It’s a good thing to enable companies to improve the world while disabling their ability to harm it.
Then set the percentage based on the margin? Something that would genuinely hurt without simply dismantling the business, so there’s still something left to correct itself?
That relief is pretty darn tiny too. I feel like I just have more anxiety about the other things my ED won’t let me do that I need to do.
