Well, there’s not really any randomness, we just can’t ever have enough data to determine exactly what will happen. Which is why we have the Uncertainty Principle. If we both had a functioning Grand Unified Theory and total knowledge of all the particles in a system, we could simulate what would happen in the system with perfect accuracy.
- Comment on More action than RPG, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 struggles to convince after a few hours' play - EuroGamer 1 week ago:
Not sure if this is what they’re talking about, but they made an ARG called Tender as part of the early VTMB2 promotion stuff. You had to do stuff within a fake dating app called Tender that was made in-universe to help vampires find feeding targets.

Kane is Cain, probably.

The handle is torn up, too.

Can actually be done without any inbreeding. For instance, if a man has children with two women who are sisters, the children would be paternal half-siblings and maternal cousins. Used to be fairly common when arranged marriages and dying in childbirth were normal. Wife died, but the marriage ties are important so you marry her sister.

Likely depends on jurisdiction. Should be legal in Oregon. Less sure about Missouri.

What about just telling them that the meth is laced with birth control now?

Chocolate isn’t sweet, it’s bitter. You have to add a lot of sugar to get the sweet chocolate we’re familiar with. The Mayan and Aztec versions of hot chocolate were more like a spicy coffee than the sweet drink we have now.
- Comment on In the olden days, when people got married a lot younger, there were probably lots of grandparents in their thirties 4 weeks ago:
Median lifespan was also fairly close to ours even though the average was way down. High infant and child mortality rates skews things.

The Batman: Arkham, Metro, and Mass Effect games are also impacted.

While the 5090 will run the latest games great, it will struggle with many older games due to the RTX 50 series having dropped 32-bit PhysX support. RTX 40 series cards are nearly as powerful and have 32-bit PhysX, if backwards compatibility is a concern.
- Comment on It bothers me when cat memes refer to the pictured cat as "he," but I can tell from its coat pattern that it's female. I may know too much about cats. 5 weeks ago:
Male calicos need to be XXY instead of XY. They’re almost always female, with males being very noteworthy. Only 1 in 3000 calicos is male.

2038, not 2028. We have twelve years to fully migrate to 64-bit time.

Cochrane also invented warp drive to get laid.
- Comment on The Star Wars Outlaws flop - Guillemot blames waning interest in the franchise 1 month ago:
Anything with a cohesive narrative would have been better than the sequel trilogy, including Dark Empire. Hell, Abrams did Dark Empire anyway, he just compressed it into a single film along with ESB and ROTJ because he’s never had a single original idea about Star Wars.
- Comment on Is it weird I don't typically answer how old I am anymore, because literally nobody besides my family believes me? 1 month ago:
Another weird thing is anti-loitering devices hurt my ears, and those aren’t supposed to affect people older than 20.
That assumes that your hearing is damaged at the average rate. Don’t blast your music or TV and wear hearing protection when using a lawnmower or other loud device and you can keep hearing those high pitched sounds into your thirties.

So you’re saying that if I stop feeding my mogwai after midnight I should be able to plug in my USB devices on the first try?

Unbound was basically Underground 3. Story wasn’t exceptional or anything, though.
- Comment on Google hit with $314m fine for collecting data from idle Android phones without permission 1 month ago:
That’s actually shopped. The game’s writer said he wishes he wrote that line, though.

Mitochondria, for sure. They even still have their own DNA separate from your actual human DNA.
- Comment on 'Xbox Hardware Is Dead,' Says Founding Team Member, 'It Looks Like Xbox Has No Desire — Or Literally Can't — Ship Hardware Anymore' - IGN 1 month ago:
They had all that free marketting from people assuming the third one would be the 720 and they ditched it in favor of calling it the Xbox One, which everyone was already using for the name of the first Xbox. Still baffled by that one.

In other words, they’re exactly the same as a lot of the games on disc for Xbox and PlayStation.

Checkov’s Law and Murphy’s Gun seem to mean the same thing.

I think the Great Plateau is roughly the size of OOT’s entire world, so if she only played classic titles that may feel reasonable.
- Comment on Switch 2 Breaks Records By Selling Over 3.5 Million Units In Four Days 2 months ago:
Don’t forget that the Wii U had one of the most incompetent console marketing campaigns of all time. Just two years ago I met someone who still didn’t know it was a console and not an accessory.
