I make sure to never get attached to one brew so I can drink it anywhere, anytime. I’ll drink instant without hot water if I need to (and not just frappe.)

I still have RiF installed for the nostalgia.

Happy new year Jon Jonsson!

I’ve seen it first hand. Repeated statements by the corp execs asking for one thing, studio directors trying to push something else.

I mean, I’ve also seen execs ask for ridiculous shit as well, I’m just saying sometimes it really does come from the studios themselves.

To be fair, I don’t think all of the blame can be laid on execs. Game directors and Art directors are often the source of the issue.

I’ve seen execs come to a studio and say: “Make something AAA, a single player game with unique gameplay and a great 10 hour story, and get it done in a couple of years. Don’t worry about the bottom line, we want a showcase experience.”

Then the directors come back with: “Okay, showcase you say? How about a AAAA 20v20 open world multiplayer shooter (nobody is doing that!), SaaS (to keep’em coming back), with ultra realistic graphics (it’ll be epically fun that way), a $100million budget (we’ll outsource to save money), MTX so we can make tons of money (we get profit sharing right?), and we do it in 3 years (for work-life balance)?”

Devs are just sitting there shaking their heads and thinking… “Here we go again…”

I’ve always disliked how washed out BotW looks. It’s like they could only process limited colours so they reduced the contrast and everything is light grey with a hint of colour.

I guess I don’t get what your point is. Caribou are wild, reindeer is generally used for domesticated caribou (at least in North America)

The poem “A visit from St Nicholas” (aka “'Twas the Night Before Christmas”) was written by an American.

Is it different outside of North America?

I don’t think anyone has mentioned: being very competitive.

They’re “Les Schtroumpfs” in French.

Somewhere uncomfortable

Some politician posted a video of “drones” in the sky and it was literally the constellation of Orion.

Cool, but I’m not seeing a link to the tutorial.

Username checks out.

For perspective, in the recent “super lab” bust in Canada, 54 kilos of fentanyl were seized (plus a bunch of other stuff, including 390 kilos of meth).

I think I read that 54 kilos is like 25 million strong doses, but I’m no expert.

Almost 1500 kilos of fentanyl being seized is truly massive.

They probably pulled the article since it was bullshit, based on the other comments.

Pretty sure it says “Have you tried turning it off and on again?”

It’s hard to understand without the associated hand gestures though.

(Edit to add in seriousness: yes, the first part says it can’t pop up the integrated flash, second part says try restarting the camera, I think)

Yo momma tried reading a book but she so fat she ate it as a snack instead.

Agreed, just making a joke because of the context.
