  World be worth getting for the multiplayer alone. That was always good fun, unless you were among the people that could not connect to anyone because you forgot to sacrifice your unborn child to the sun god of some strange networking reason.

  German also has Trauring (and related wird) going back to that root. Although it’s rather archaic and not used nearly as much as Ehe or Heirat. And then there’s Hochzeit for just the ceremony.

  I never realized how many words we use for wedding…

  Yes, this does nothing for game dev. But I don’t think it was supposed to.

  The fact that this is a genAI Model generating a reasonable, context aware image a whopping 20 times a second is nonetheless pretty impressive.

  I played it as a kid and then some friends reintroduced me to it on uni, including time of custom maps and game modes (the rules of which had to be enforced by ourselves)

  Like maps where you only had rope, but there was a crate spawn every turn.

  Or where you had to rope over a spire in the center of the map before you were allowed to attack, with a 45s turn timer to make it even spicier.

  At some points, we even projected the game above the blackboard while doing coursework, which was as about as productive as it sounds.

  over thirty-one thousand landlord clients managing over 19.7 million rental units

  In case anyone is still wondering why housing is fucked, this is it right here. That’s an average of over 600 rental units per landlord.

  People renting out their old house for a small profit are not the issue. Like a lot of things, it really only breaks once corporations get involved.
