The this:
[Author] portrays Shangri-La as a mystical, harmonious valley, gently guided from a lamasery, enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains. In the novel, the people who live in Shangri-La are almost immortal, living hundreds of years beyond the normal lifespan and only very slowly ageing in appearance

It may not be the best of all time, but I remember Celeste has been a blast to play, and it’s really well polished

Which ones?

I guess whether this is true or not will be a defining point of the whole lawsuit
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 1 week ago:
Some games are region-locked because the localisation is done by building another binary, Fallouts were like that, and some other I can’t remember, maybe it was this
I too am afraid to change region because Valve is very opaque in how they change availability, and there definitely were precedents of games not just being delisted but still available if you have them, but also disappearing completely from you library
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 1 week ago:
I expect that no cap on storefront share of the price will be set as a result of this lawsuit or any other.
I also expect that even if Steam reduce their cut to 3%, prices will not get lower, and bankruptcies and lay-offs will go on as usual
Maybe I’m just pessimistic, don’t know

I thought you were going to link this: m.youtube.com/watch?v=VWCvjPOove0 (Wild boars blocked tram traffic in Olsztyn, north eastern Poland)

Yeah, it’s probably ‘meta-joke’ or something. It’s shitpost, after all

That’s a wild take

You should also ask them how they feel when their body cools down ‘a bit’ to 32°C

I thought this but opposite of Avatar, good writing/acting and low budget
- Comment on YSK what legal rights you have in encounters with ICE 2 weeks ago:
I read it like that comment have been directed at the article, implying ‘know your rights’ to be ‘…and do not resist’

Ah, yeah, there was, that’s not how most of the time went, though

I don’t know, we need a medievalist here
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I thought life was hard but sustainable mostly, turns out one was always at risk of extinction:
Medieval villagers were often living on the edge of subsistence. Agricultural surpluses were skimmed by the church and the feudal lords. Bad harvests, banditry, warfare and disease might decimate a village community at any time. For this very reason, the demography of many European villages remained relatively stable between the twelfth and the eighteenth century.

- Comment on Meta is closing down three VR studios as part of its metaverse cuts 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I eventually found a Wikipedia page about Amazon Game Studios, they still exist and make games, and it looks like they only make mediocre stuff even when they have chances to make something interesting (like King of Meat, that seems to be a well received game, but has awful name, is too pricey, and is almost unknown, making the online too small)

Well, it is an image. Technically

Cool, I think past midnight timetables is where this really helps a lot of people

What did they make?
- Comment on Whoever invented the 12-hour clock never doubted that people will always know if it's day or night 3 weeks ago:
Historically, the style manual of the United States Government Printing Office used 12 a.m. for noon and 12 p.m. for midnight, though this was reversed in its 2008 editions.
I also remember there were some countries that have 12 AM mean noon, but I may be mistaken as I can’t find a source
- Comment on Whoever invented the 12-hour clock never doubted that people will always know if it's day or night 3 weeks ago:
Since there are only 24 hours in a day, there cannot be a “24:30”.
Japan has something to say about that: 30-hour day time — clock doesn’t wrap if it’s a continuation of a previous day

But quarter of 11:00 is 2:45

That’s clear, this is just a weird image
Also, I believe they don’t really need to have complete control for that, too

Censoring parts of gameplay as you play would be very impressive, btw. Not in a good way, but impressive, like when I first found out about ISP replacing/adding ads on http pages

I have A1 and A2 level in a couple of non-first languages, technically I can speak those, realistically I don’t and will not be able to communicate something more complex than ‘here, take a look’
So I don’t agree with your absolutistic stance

I didn’t quite follow, do you mean Daikatana is so bad they didn’t add it before because they were called ‘good’ but not anymore?

You can transpile from C to Malbolge and then run it (this will probably take forever for most of C programs). I thought it can be used for obfuscation, and sure enough Wiki already states that:
Hisashi Iizawa et al. also proposed a guide for programming in Malbolge for the purpose of obfuscation for software protection

No thinking is not the same as no actions, we had bots in games for decades and that bots look like they act reasonably but there never was any thinking.
I feel like ‘a lot of agency’ is wrong as there is no agency, but it doesn’t mean that an LLM in a looped setup can’t arrive to these actions and perform them. It doesn’t require neither agency, nor thinking
