When it’s anywhere from 1-3 years between seasons, what do they expect. By the time the next season comes out they’re lucky if I even remember the show.

That’s also not accounting for how many times they announced they canceled a show upon releasing the second season (which ends on a cliff hanger) - Inside Job and Spaceforce for example.

They didn’t originally, but at least in Europe they started getting some “monopolistic” threats and started to split it up. I’m not sure if they split them for all countries/markets and am too lazy to look it up right now.

Are you not sure if it was a real bathroom because you might still be stuck in a dream?

They used one in the US Revolutionary war back in 1775- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_%28submersible%29

It happens periodically with any digital store because that’s the risk with being leased content from a digitial storefront. They may, due to licensing issues, remove content or the store may shutdown preventing you from accessing your content.

I think you’d have to pick something more geared towards children as books for older people will potentially be too narrowly focused or infused with cultural or regional influences.

Something like the giving tree has some good staying power and discuss concepts that should be beneficial across time/cultures/religions.

Not to mention, that would mean that citizenship wouldn’t be granted to kids who have at least one parent with dual citizenship. As those kids could potentially be under the jurisdiction of the other country.

His reasoning in his dissent doesn’t hold up to even basic scrutiny.

Some games you might possibly like:

• Tearscape - Not isometric, but fits you’re other asks. While the combat didn’t quite click for me, it might be worth checking out.
• Crypt Custodian - Probably not dark enough, but otherwise fits all of your descriptors and has great combat.
• Achilles Untold Legend - I’m not sure the setting quite matches. It’s the Greek underworld not eldritch horror, but could be close enough.

If you’re willing to go 2D side scroller / metroidvania I can come up with some other suggestions, although the top one that comes to mind is Salt and Sanctuary

I had a sushi burrito once, it was pretty good.

There are many quantum resistant encryption algorithms - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-quantum_cryptography#Algorithms

As for quantum computers, there is some debate, but a number of companies have “quantum computers” but it’s arguable if they work correctly and they have limited Q-bits meaning they can’t do anything of significance yet.

I think the paying for everything before they really even met is a little odd, but it matters on how it was done.

Just following up, here are a couple things that point to the issues within the first minute:

• Credits are cut off and not fully visible, framing in general feels off. Also, why 1:1 screen ratio?
• Music during the intro sequence cuts in and out, almost like the audio is tied to the scene and not just being played.
• Multiple clear AI content issues. Janitor is magically pulling suitcase, character turns around in a chair without moving, etc.
• Dialog is rough and not delivered well and due to AI the scenes jump around a lot causing a lot of confusion.

Maybe it gets better, but that’s a really rough just for the intro. You can’t say you spent a lot of time on it and then have such basic visual issues. Sure AI video is difficult to generate and control, but if you’re going to use it, learn how to use it correctly.

Actually even hardware has stayed relatively low. The PS3 launched at $600 and the ps5 launched at $500.

Right now we’re actually still doing better than the ps3 era even with inflation, it’s just we’re getting squeezed in other locations and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight for hardware inflation.

It doesn’t get a lot of love, but my favorite has always been Sonic Adventure. It was the first real 3D sonic and the open world, multiple playable characters (Yeah the fishing sucks), and level pacing made it stick out for me.

Its one of the few sonic games where I feel like you don’t have to memorize a level’s paths to actually play the game well. You feel like you’re moving fast, but still feel like you can make active decisions while playing.

However, that probably puts me on the outskirts of the sonic fandom.

Kinda shows how the steam machine price really is just due to the market. If Microsoft is selling a console at $750/800 then the $1050 for the steam machine isn’t too far off.

I don’t understand why ive been seeing so many people say this, that ship sailed long ago. Not only did the switch have games with download only codes, (not to mention that with switch 2 they have the “Game Key Card”), but PC games did this for years (maybe still do?) before moving away from physical discs entirely.

This isn’t the first game to do this, this has been happening for a while. Switch had a number of games where you only got a digital download code and PC games were doing that for years before they stopped having physical releases.

There was some recent reports estimating 2028 or even 2029, probably because you can’t make a device better than the ps5 at current prices.

Either new technology needs to come along or prices need to drop and that’s not likely for the next year or two.

You may want to check if that’s 90% of active utilization or things just holding onto the memory “just in case”. If your running CAD, gaming, and have containers actively running at the same time, then yeah 32GB may just be cutting it, but I would find it suprising that you’re actively using 90% frequently.

I guess more ram could mean not having to worry about spinning the containers up and down, but the only time I hit anywhere near 32GB is when doing heavy data workloads and those are times I’m not worried about running anything else.

What level of emulation are you trying to do, cause you can do most emulation for a lot less than $1000.
