  • Not sure if you’re trolling or what, but I still play MK Wii regularly with friends on local co op. Used to play it on the console, I now emulate it on a steam deck. There’s nothing that matches the quality and charm of the game on any platform and I say this as a regular opponent of Nintendo. I don’t find it unfair as it strikes a good balance between skill and luck. Everyone I’ve played with, gamers or not, pretty much agree.










  • It does to some degree.

    • “11” is string, 1 is an int, because strings can be added (+) convert int to string and combine: “11”+“1” = “111”
    • “11” is string, 1 is an int, because strings cant be subtracted (-) convert string to int and combine: 11-1 = 10

    I’m not into JS so I don’t know how it takes priority. ints can be added too, so I guess its basing it on the first variable which is compatible with the operator: in the first case string, in the second case int.

    If this is how it works, it makes sense. But imo its a case of the designers being preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.








  • A lot of people dont seem to realize, a road is living infrastructure. It needs to be maintained in order to stay usable. You dont build a road and it just stays there forever. Its a service, not a one time purchase. Modern societies rely on this service to keep them running. Its not freedom to go anywhere without big government dictating where you can go. Its a specific, constantly updating and repairing living network - all controlled by the government.

    Train tracks are the same, they just fill a more specific role. And AFAIK, here at least, if you buy a train, you can ride the rails too. A transportation engineer told me once, if more people bought trains, the government would be forced to lay down more track. Its a funny thought but in that sense, roads and train tracks both ultimately serve the people.
