Even here in South Australia where we were had tiny numbers (a few 10s of cases a day), the supermarket shelves were stripped bare of toilet paper, sanitizer, hand towels, food).
People suck
Just the simple fact that you have to manually install graphics drivers is a basic issue that you don't have to deal with on console. Just visit any of the PCgaming subreddits and you'll find plenty of examples to do with troubleshooting graphics issues, with people suggesting using Graphics Driver Uninstaller to try and completely remove conflicting driver versions etc.etc.
I remember when there were annoying stutters after the initial BF1 launch and one of the workarounds was to use task manager to change the CPU priority for the task. Here's an example thread for ModernWarfare https://www.reddit.com/r/modernwarfare/comments/j26zli/stutt...
Literally none of those issues affect console gaming. It's sit down and start gaming without any hassles within 15 sec of turning the machine on.
I've been a PC gamer for 30 years and it's a pain in the ass compared to console. With the new generation of consoles targeting 60fps, my final annoyance with console gaming has disappeared.
Tailwind is a masterclass with regard to how to market this kind of thing.
1. Release the core of your product for free (basicially give 95% away for nothing)
2. Sell premium features/components (the last 5% of your product for serious people with a budget)
Tailwind is selling their CSS framework UI component kit for $400!!!
It's a freaking simple little design system which is nothing in comparison to what you've built here and they are *rolling* in money.
Good luck.
A lot of things form spontaneously, art, technology, language have all developed spontaneously and independently many times in the past 100,000 years.
Religion isn't special in this regard.
You're a tourist, like Marla.
When I was a kid *all* advertising in F1 was for cigarettes. We stopped that shit because smoking fucking sucks for all of society.
Fuck Facebook. It's an evil company. Not because Zuck or the people working there are inherently evil, it's just that their incentives (profit) happens to coincidentally and unfortunately be aligned with extreme negative externalities.
No, the focal distance in a headset is fixed. The light hitting your eye is always coming in at the same angle.
It is not their room.
> “my house, my rules” is not a convincing argument
It is in my house ;)
keyword "yet". It seems like such a insignificant win, with the downside being some very hard to debug runtime error because one element of your build chain has a bug or misses an edge case.
I honestly don't see the logic.
I'm assuming you are scraping the property pictures from a realestate sale site (in Australia the market is dominated by realestate.com.au). How are you getting around copyright issues?
Also, who is your target customer? I'm curious who requires $50 of property reports every month. Is it real estate agents using this a quick way to generate brochures/flyers?
fuck.that.
Some Indie games are great, but there are still lot of really great big budget story based games being made that an Indie studio just couldn't produce.
>This is a more profitable strategy than simply trying to make a fun game that people want to play.
Still loads of high quality, very profitable, games being made e.g. RDR2, TLoU2, HZD, Ghost of Tsushima, Uncharted, Spiderman, Doom, Gears, Halo, Ratchet & Clank, Cyberpunk2077 (CDPR can't be considered indie anymore), Forza, Gran Turismo etc.
Sony in particular is really delivering with their single player story based, big budget games.
What language is it?
I don't recognise it and this line

I've always found BMI to be a little suspect. I'm an average build 5'10'' and 170lbs at the upper range of optimal would make me look very, very lean (I've been there before and it is just not a flattering look), at 130lbs I would look down right skeletal and very unhealthy.
My personal optimal is 178lbs where I look and feel great, although according to the official numbers that would put me at the lower end of overweight which is just not right.
My understanding of BMI is that it's a pretty crude measure of health in that the numbers are correlated with (preventable?) deaths across an entire population and that's it. I wonder if there is some nuance of health that this single number doesn't capture too well.
Anyways, just my own observation :)
Sounds like cheap razors to me. Get a high quality razor + shaving gel and you'll never cut yourself. I've been shaving my head for 15 years and only bled once, from a crappy budget singly blade razor.
eh? I've been shaving my head for the past 15 years and it's never been a long process. Takes me about 90 sec to shave my head.
Just buy good quality razors and shaving gel and you can do it almost as quickly as someone styling their hair. I spend about as much time brushing my teeth.
I mute the TV when browsing.
same could be said about leaving a bomb on a bus, and yet there aren't bombs going off on busses every day, and even when it does happen, it's not enough to scare people away from busses for good.
Society kinda works because the vast majority of people are not homicidal.
Why is no one looking at retrofitting existing roads with markers that the car can use to follow? I've read suggestions of using magnetic markers which would have the added benefit of working through snow.
Roads get new lines marked all the time, seems like embedding a magnetic marker at the same time would be quite feasible. This would basically be a tram line on every street.
Who cares if the car needs to hand off to the human in the event of road works or missing markers? Those are fairly rare events on my commute at least.
it's already too late. The planet is too small to accommodate this many humans. There is no hope. I understand the need to feel like you're doing something in the face of this catastrophe, but we're doomed.
The only solution is some as yet undiscovered technology that will reverse the actions of 7.7 billion parasites, who in aggregate are too selfish to make true sacrifices for the common good (myself included)
You're doing just enough to soothe your conscience without actually depriving yourself.
The problem is, that's not nearly enough to make any difference. Not even close.
To actually make a difference you and every single first-world citizen would need to forgo
- all imported goods
- all electronics
- all plastics
- all red meat
- all heating and cooling
- all private transportation
- ration electricity
- most industrial goods
- ration food (a lot of GHG are produced by agriculture)
And third world countries would need to all agree to stop economic progress and revert to pre-industrial conditions.
We will all drown in rising flood waters before any of that will ever happen.
It's a technological solution or bust.
The only other "solution" is that climate change will reduce human population back to a few hundred thousand and we start all over again.
