I had a flight like this on Spirit airlines once.

The 5 or so people on that flight, myself included, ended up all clustered near the middle of the plane pounding shots of Tito’s with one of the flight attendants to distract from the fact that it sounded like our plane was about to rattle apart in the sky.

I understand now why the Spirit Airlines flights are unpopulated.

Well, for one thing, an M1 Abrams main battle tank has better front sightlines than most trucks on the road today.

And it isn’t even that much more dangerous to get hit by because of the giant flat-face front impact planes of the trucks. Used to be if you got hit by a car it would roll you up over the hood, now you just die.

I have to imagine that will impact the testing and design at least somewhat.

Edit: fixed the image link

Fair enough, point taken.

That makes it no different than it already is, most of those dogs will “alert” whenever they’re signaled regardless whether they smell anything. Information online suggests anywhere between a 26-44% positive ID rate though numbers on that seem a bit sketchy from different sources.

And that’s fine, different strokes and all. I personally find it highly goddamn hilarious and enjoy playing it with my gaming group. I just think it’s a little disingenuous to say “palworld devs did nothing to prevent this, sad” when the whole original concept was basically designed around parodying Pokémon. They knew what they were doing.

That was me playing MGSV. I’d stealth around for all of like two minutes before somebody does a ❗

At which point my concept of “stealth” shifts to “dead men call no reinforcements”

The whole game was intended from the very beginning to thumb their nose at Nintendo, just so happens that it got really popular and sold a ton of copies because it isn’t difficult to make a better Pokémon game than The Pokémon Company does, even when the entire game in question is a shitpost.

John Carmack is human intelligence

[X] Doubt

John Carmack is many things, but I have my doubts about whether human is one of them. At minimum, he’s some kind of alien. Most days I lean more toward incognito archdevil of the plane of knowledge. I’ve heard someone accuse him of being God, or at least standing in for him on Wednesdays.

Interesting… The Wikipedia page for Crazy Taxi talks about their lawsuit with Simpsons Road Rage in 2001, for using the overhead arrow among other complaints. But makes no mention at all of Midnight Club, who by 2005 when I got Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition was using that same overhead arrow for in-race directions. I don’t see screenshots of Midnight Club 1 or 2 having the arrow but I can guarantee from personal experience that MC3:DUB did have them. I wonder what happened in those four years that made Rockstar not afraid to use that mechanic, especially as this section on the Crazy Taxi page states

The case, Sega of America, Inc. v. Fox Interactive, et al., was settled in private for an unknown amount. The 138 patent is considered to be one of the most important patents in video game development.

He didn’t try at all, the porn account in question has his full name and email address attached to it. Naturally when faced with receipts, his immediate response is the Shaggy Defense.

“It wasn’t me.” We have concrete evidence that it was definitely you. You signed your name on it. “It wasn’t me.”

Screensaver? I rigged up Wallpaper Engine just to make that my actual desktop background.

Google will eat you up and spit you out and you will have no one to blame but yourself.

Come have a seat at my D&D table…

I’m a technically savvy but new to Linux user who installed Mint as my primary OS about a month ago. So far I’ve used Flatpaks and AppImages without any issue and haven’t come across snaps. Would you explain the differences and why I would care about one over another?

To be fair, most of the CIA was on an awful lot of LSD around that time.

Was that the Jones Soda one? Honestly that’s not even the weirdest flavor they have, that’s just kind of what they do.

I feel like that might be difficult to do without just falling into Jupiter, but I am no rocket scientist.

The wizards hunted dragons to extinction because their wings made good spell components and they want to dodge responsibility for it.

Its ugly, but it’s true.

I’m a longtime 40k fan and Rogue Trader is one of the few games that I feel like really nail the setting spot on. And I also enjoyed Owlcat’s Pathfinder games, they’ve got a strong pedigree behind them. If you’re a fan of CRPGs and Warhammer 40k you should definitely pick it up, it’s great. If you’re not a 40k fan, the game is still good, but you’ve got some homework to do if you want to understand the setting and understand the decisions you’re making - the Pathfinders might be a better fit for you.
