Me too, but considering how many questions had AI in it…

I wish there had just been a single answer that said “Focus on Firefox and not AI”.

The initial reports of this made it sound much worse, now it seems so tame this charge borders on ludicrous. I walked about 2 miles to my bus stop as a kid with no side walk and it was ABSOLUTELY unsafe, but we didn’t have a choice as the roads were no outlet and too narrow for a bus to get into my neighborhood. I never saw a kid get hit, but I knew of multiple adults that were hit by a car with a few fatalities. I still think this Georgia story sounds dumb, so either we’re being deprived of details or the police are being ridiculous.

Someone else in the comments mentioned it is about 40% faster than the AVX-2 code and slightly more than twice as fast as the SSE3 code. That’s still a nice boost, but hopefully no one was relying on the radically slow unoptimized baseline.

Mine would probably be my ghetto breakfast sandwiches. I usually throw a little shredded cheese, diced onion, and hot peppers into a coffee mug and crack and egg into it and then scramble it. Microwave that for a min while i toast an English muffin or bagel. Then put it together with maybe a thin slice of ham. Excellent breakfast sandwich. People think I’m nuts for making the eggs in a microwave, but it works well, has an easy cleanup, and is super quick in the mornings before work.

quickadilla

While never calling it your excellent “quickadilla” name, I have been doing that with leftover beef and chicken taco ingredients for years. It also works well with some leftover Asian and Indian dishes.

I love this, this has to be the best version of this meme I’ve ever seen.

I personally won’t start over if I lose spread, but lose all my powerups in something like Gradius or Lifeforce and it probably isn’t worth it to keep going. It is the Konami way.

Beholders and Mind Flayers are probably my favorites. As a bonus, whenever someone says “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” I can’t help but ask “but which eye? They have so many!”

Good luck! I am about the same place in my career and I also wanted to actually release a game (not just make 80% of a game in secret!).

The list is honestly bizarre and the rank placements are all over the place. Most of your later examples of that I completely agree with. I just think that the mainline FF games not being on the top 100 list of PC games is fairly understandable, and I say that as a huge fan of the series. Ironically, FF14 is quite literally the only game in the series that I haven’t played.

Regarding the FF games, I think it’s actually fine considering some of the more notable omissions. Most FF games didn’t get released anywhere near when they were relevant.

I want to make some sort of Poopster’s Billions joke, but nah that’s too crass. Also that would imply he actually had that much money.

That is both hilarious and bizarre if true.

I used to work two jobs and the middle of the night was the only time I could shop and I still don’t want them to go back to that.

That is great news if they stick to it. Ttheir WebOS TVs are becoming slimier and slimier.

Yes, we saw the same movie, but I really liked it. The actual Stephen King story is basically unrelated, it was a bizarre couple page short story about a weirdo that mows lawns with psychic powers and then ate the lawn clippings (yes really!).

As for the sequel, just imagine that whatever you would have rated the first movie out of 10, adjust it down by 8 points. Yes, you can go negative :)

There is? How??

Never mind, some thing are not for us to know.

I agree, I mean, it is objectively bad, but it is almost enjoyable with the right mindset.

That is a solid list, but I nominate Lawnmower Man 2 as possibly the worst sequel of all time. The first movie was actually pretty great for it’s time, but the sequel is just a nonsensical train wreck. Just take my word for it and don’t watch it.

We’ll see about that… John’s Pass in Pinellas county was created about 130 years around from a major hurricane. It is entirely possible that significant portions of the most prized water front property in that area won’t be able to be built on or will take years of bulldozing of all those huge resorts and condos to make it possible to build.
