Same rendering engine, same lighting, and for the vast majority of them, basically the same rendering settings (as the other person said, tweaking these can actually be quite a lot of work)

This. I didn’t spend nearly 1000 bucks on hardware that ensures that I basically spend more time on the POST screen than on the rest of the entire boot sequence to keep the thing on 24/7

I may be wrong here but I think that just like sky diving vs BASE jumping, you can actually just do it from a plane, which sounds like it would be a lot less dangerous

lol. lmao even

I’m a dark souls enjoyer who thinks that hollow knight is a gorgeous game with mediocre platforming and decent combat. I’m pretty sure you made my blood pressure jump to unsafe levels

Yeah but these guys have exoskeletons so they are cooler. Sorry, I don’t make the rules

Plus theirs is quite red, so it also gives them around +10% speed

As far as I know, right now the main problem with flying cars is that they are nowhere near as idiot-proof as a normal car, and don’t really solve any transportation problem since most countries’ air regulations agencies would require them to exclusively take off and land in airports… Where you can usually find tons of planes that can go much further (and are much more cost effective, as you pointed out)

When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, “I WANT A REMATCH.”

Sounds like he was this close 🤏 to realizing that politics isn’t sports nor entertainment there… Although to be fair, his base certainly seems to treat it that way

I mean, considering how some of them can struggle with ice cubes, you’d need one hell of a (consumer grade) blender to effectively get rid of a body

As a professional gamedev : good. Except if they aren’t tackling similar issues in online gambling (am at work so I didn’t read the article)

Edit : read the article, they basically only mention displaying the real money equivalent when buying “premium” currency, which is only the tip of the iceberg, but also pretty easy to legislate I guess.

But just know that I’m order to set it up, you have to login with your account on their computer at some point to enable the family sharing feature

I doubt it, because I think that’s literally how it used to work

FOMO can be a bitch for some people. The fact that it is so widely exploited in tech/videogames is no coincidence

Yeah, me too, but I was on my phone

The absolute irony of clicking this link and being met by an ad for some gacha game featuring ample-chested anime characters
