Pretty much. People thirst for the flame atranochs.

A split combo of the two is pretty common.

Brotherhood and Revelations are both continuations and upgrades from 2. I would not recommend playing all three back to back, but if you liked 2 they should be high on your list to play next.

So good. The slight differences between weapons means that the muscle memory you’ve built up ends up tripping you on the next run.

I do. A standard Oreo is 10g of easy, enjoyable sugar. If my blood sugar is on a downswing and I project I’ll get too low, I grab one or two out of the cupboard.

They are a medical supply and are dosed as such.

One time one of my chefs did a tasting for some of the staff with a range of syrups from colored sugar syrup up to rich dark maple. The secret only he and I (the one who bought everything) knew was that they were all just different blends of the two extremes.

Most people tended toward around 30% maple since it tasted like real maple and didn’t have the bitter taste of more pure maple.

The problems start if it can take on a lot of the junior work. If nobody can enter the industry, nobody can get the experience required to do the real engineering.

Open-source and personal work may be the only way to enter the programming field in the next decade.

The o is a head and the 7 is an arm/hand. It’s a text form of 🫡.

JWO hasn’t shut down. The system got polished enough for them to sell it to other companies, so they don’t need their own test-platform locations anymore.

JWO and similar systems do not reduce labor. The people working cashier become customer service attendants. These systems are valuable when the issue is throughput and sales are being lost at peak times. Airport convenience stores and stadium concession stands, for example, can get significantly higher revenue for the same footprint.

On the other hand, the only way to get good training data is to generate data indistinguishable from the real-world scenario and then have humans mark it up the way you want the system to do it. You might as well have the data actually be from the real world and recoup some of the costs with sales.

As noted in the YT comments, you can also set your brownie pan in a larger pan of water to nagate the hot-metal effect. Might not be quite as precise, but way easier.

They didn’t. They made mothers able to use HOV lanes without a second occupant, blocking the GOP’s attempts to use HOV lanes to normalize fetal personhood.

This was comments, not posts. They were using a model to approximate the demographics of a poster, then using an LLM to generate a response counter to the posted view tailored to the demographics of the poster.

They likely only have a dialogue script for masculine and feminine, which swaps both player and npc dialogue. They’d need four scripts and cutscenes timings to make both player voices work with both NPC pronoun uses.

The main hurdle is modern anti cheat. Many old games actually work better on Linux because of fans making dedicated tweaks.

Summary: They were seeing a disconnect between Arkham Asylum player stats and sales, indicating a large portion of the playerbase blasting through the game then selling it back to retailers. WB studios were directed to explore ways to lengthen player engagement, preferably enough to keep the game forever.

The nemesis system gives some light procedural flair to an otherwise-deaigned experience. I don’t think it did what they hoped it would, but it was still a great mechanic.

Both combined is $15.58. That doesn’t include the excellent expansions for either game though.

They are the only portal-likes (chamber-based player movement puzzlers) that I’d place on the same level as the Portal games.

Lingo ($6.99/$9.99) is an incredible exploration and word puzzle game. It also has a few excellent custom maps such as Duolingo and Liduongo.

A sequel (Lingo 2 $9.99) just released and is also excellent. It changes how puzzle rules are presented, making them playable in either order. It’s a more polished experience though, so playing the first game after would probably feel like a step backward.

There is a spammer begging for money in DMs using that picture.

Scare us away? Some of us are on instances that make the connection more obvious.
