It still depends on the game, even with instant loading there’s various time commitments a game realistically takes. 15 minutes of Skyrim isn’t very fun, but 15 minutes of vampire survivors is awesome. 2 hours of time is a different story though.

One of the first things I learned was to never buy books before the first class.

As with most things, it’s a continuum. Some assimilation is good, a hairstyle, a clothing style, food, even customs. Sometimes certain people can go too far, and it gets more problematic. Think the jeweler in Snatch that isn’t Jewish but pretends to be. The episode of The Neighborhood with Nicole Sullivan. Rachael Dolezal.

Centuries of fire suppression across the state have led to massive fuel stockpiles for fires. Controlled burns have been recommended and blocked for decades.

It would be 10x worse than brexit for California to secede.

You can, but there’s relative limits on it. Basically every ToS does this.

Old reddit culture was just watered down \b\ culture.

There’s a balance to be managed and valve is on the extreme end of no release pressure.

They get paid, so it’s more like serfs.

We should go back to calling cops dicks again.

Join on time to virtual meetings. If you are hosting or setting up a room, then you can join a bit early. If it’s a large meeting like a company or division wide one maybe even join a minute late.

Waiting around on an empty zoom is a massive waste of time.

It’s going to be a flagship game that releases with a newer engine. Maybe ES6 will be that game. A less hopeful take is that the success of ESO is going to prevent them releasing anything else in the universe until it dies.

Steam is a marketplace, making games is a side hustle. It’s the opposite for the big 3.

California can’t even commit to stopping the mismanagement of fire prevention. You expect them to commit funding?

Or they add a lot more to the deal. New Orleans wasn’t worth the rest of it.

It’s a great heads up that something is a longform piece and will have a couple interesting paragraphs followed by 10s of garbage ones that are nothing, then a couple useful points, then more garbage.

Passwords that must contain a special character, but only from a list of three special characters.

Passwords that must be changed every 3 months.

Absurdly narrow length requirements, im 80% sure I saw one that required 8-16 characters.

All dictionary words were banned from being in a password regardless of length, so passphrases weren’t allowed.

That sounds awful, steam deck is borderline too big.

Maybe it was just bad autocorrect and they meant single payer.

It also has a perpetual source of expenses and it’s growing faster than the source of income.
