Robertson is a square. Rotate it 45 degrees and it has no overhangs at all.

Yep, that’s why the best selling games consoles with the largest user base for selling all those super expensive AAA games are all the modern ones, like the Playstation 2, Nintendo DS, the Switch and the Gameboy Colour.

Just be thankful they haven’t followed inflation of both the value of money, and their budgets. A $40 NES game would be $120 in todays money and it was probably made in a month by three people in a shed, meanwhile something like CoD Black Ops Cold War credits over 9000 people and had a budget of $700 million. GTA 6 has already blown past a billion.

In fact, video games are currently pretty much the cheapest they’ve ever been, comparatively speaking.

As OP specified in another reply, they were talking about streamers specifically. And with them, big chunk of the income comes from Twitch subscribers, which is a monthly paid subscription. If you are willing to pay someone for it, you’ll notice pretty much immediately if they miss their scheduled stream and cancel it.

For many other platforms what you said is true, I’m way more likely to unsubscribe from someone when they post a video and remind me I’m still subbed than when they take a break and fade out of my feed.

Yes they were.

So does apple, coconut, cracker, gin, barbarian, brownie, skinny, spade, spook, teabag and a whole host of different words.
It should never be about the word itself, but how it’s being used. Someone being called a genius doesn’t usually mean they are being applauded for their intellect either, for example.

Back in my day we just had to use our own imagination.

Though nyko should be on the hook to buy you a new switch if they design a piece of shit that wrecks your switch

Nintendo also tried to lock down the Switch 1 docking, and 3rd party manufacturers had to hack together workarounds. "When Nintendo released the original Switch in 2017, accessory makers similarly had to figure out how to crack Nintendo’s esoteric docking protocols, and some of them (Nyko) allegedly led to damaged handhelds."
I’d more blame that for causing the issues in the first place, if the Switch spoke standard USB-C, then all reputable docks would work with no weird hacks.

I was basically after that same concept - create that credential, and have the website only verify it’s legit and nothing else.
I think my example of how it’s currently done for basically everything in Finland just confused people, I wasn’t suggesting every country implements adult age checks with their banks.

The Holocene extinction event is just going to be the sixth one so far, and it certainly won’t be the last. As the saying goes, “life finds a way”.
We just won’t be around to see it.

Was an example of the security, not who is running the service. But I mean, guess who knows if you pay for OnlyFans or stuff like that?
Your bank.

And like I said, it’s only really secure if the service doesn’t keep a database of logs connecting the two.

Depends entirely on how it’s implemented, because the website doesn’t need to know who you are, only verify that you are over 18. Which can be done reasonably securely - you generate a random ID on a secure service (e.g here in Finland, we use our online banking stuff for official verification purposes), give that ID to the website, and the only communication between the two of them is “Is id 123 valid and an adult? Yes/No”.

Now, if that “secure service”, most likely a government contract done as cheaply as possible turns out not to be, and they keep logs linking those IDs to the URLs requesting verification, then the entire thing goes belly up.

Self-driving cars are a thing, Weymo is doing pretty fine.

But you might be able to spot a few (dozen) teeny-tiny (huge, bulky and extremely obvious) differences between a Waymo and a Tesla cybercab.

the subscription feed still and always has completely bypasses Youtube’s recommended brainrot anyway

Though they are messing with that too, on mobile there is a “Most Relevant” section on top. Though thankfully they are videos from your subs.
…for now.

If it isn’t ridiculously expensive and inefficient, it doesn’t really fit the definition of a triple-a game, because it specifically is the term for games with the highest production values and costs.

Interestingly in the US it isn’t, gold is measured in Karat (k/Kt), and Carat (ct) is the unit of weight.

1 Karat is 1/24th gold, 1 Carat is 200 milligrams.

Us sharing a 1000+ km long border with russia might have something to do with that.

And even then, military service isn’t actually required, you can do a siviilipalvelus (lit. “Civilian service”) instead.

Ah, but there’s the third option, just outlaw contraception and abortions. Capitalism is only incompatible with kids if you give your slaves the ability to choose if and when to have them.

Annoyingly many artists still use it, and for some it’s their only platform they post at any regularity, except for paid posts on patreon. I haven’t used Twitter as a social media site for almost a decade now, but my “twitter only” art list still has 18 people on it.

Major version numbers are used when stuff changes, and especially when shit breaks. Can the latest OS X 10 run the same software and on the same hardware as the first OS X 10? If not, increase the major number.
