- Comment on 'My personal failure was being stumped': Gabe Newell says finishing Half-Life 2: Episode 3 just to conclude the story would've been 'copping out of [Valve's] obligation to gamers' 3 hours ago:
It might have been different back in the day
It was very different back in the day.
- Comment on Half-Life 2 peaks at 52,000 concurrent players, 20 years after its release 3 hours ago:
A number followed by a period is Markdown for an ordered list. To make it easier, the renderer always starts from 1 and counts properly. So on your app it is probably rendering this as an ordered list with one item instead of as two sentences.

The physics puzzles, whole still functioning fine, feel extremely goofy today. It’s easy to forget how revolutionary they were. I’m not saying the game shouldn’t have them or anything, but some are just so silly lol.

No it’s about nuclear waste and where to store it,

“Haha, I’m insurrection barbie, get it? Because the libs think when Donald Trump lets a massive mob of his supporters to the Capitol to disrupt the election certification process it was an insurrection!”

I’ve actually seen this same meme used in the opposite way where they did discover a new way but I don’t remember enough information to find it. And I don’t think it was talking about solar.
- Comment on Manjaro is experimenting with **opt-out telemetry | Hacker News (More like op-out spying) 2 days ago:
Opt out telemetry is annoying. There’s no guarantee it doesn’t send before I’ve had a chance to disable.

This is somewhat common for various bugs.

Reminds me of the meme using the Donnie Darko psychologist template.
Donnie: I made a new form of power generation.
Psychologist: New or steam?
Donnie: Steam…
- Comment on Signal gets new video call features, making it a viable alternative to Zoom, Meet and Teams 3 days ago:
Is Signal video and call not end to end encrypted like their messaging?
- Comment on Steam drops Windows 7 and 8 support with the latest client — users told to ‘update to a more recent version of Windows’ to continue gaming 4 days ago:
But they’re using Windows. It isn’t telling this to Mac/Linux users.
- Comment on I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard 4 days ago:
In my opinion, no, it was too hard.
- Comment on I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard 4 days ago:
Magicka comes to mind but it was utterly unplayable single player. Maybe the sequel is better.
It feels very wizard like because you don’t have a static list of spells. You have 8 elements you.can combine into spells. (It does have unlockable spells but those are sort of secondary.) So using the fire and shield elements makes a wall of flame, for example.

My comment was made in jest, I don’t actually believe this person was trying to “cheat” on the thought experiment by selecting only smart monkeys lol.
- Comment on Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy 1 week ago:
You don’t get to pick and choose! You get infinite monkeys. What’s all this about duplicate sets? Sounds like somebody is trying to bring in a ringer! That’s cheatin!

That’s assuming they’re typing truly randomly. Which is a fair assumption.
- Comment on Feedback about our name: someone's concerns on sharing 2 weeks ago:
Uhh… My friend. They said it was a work chat. Regardless of your opinion if swearing I think you should understand that work places are generally more conservative with regards to swear words.
- Comment on Feedback about our name: someone's concerns on sharing 2 weeks ago:
Pretty sure they meant because of the word shit, not the TLD works.
