The dev stated that it mostly exists for more performance-limited applications like mobile.

Expanse does too, though it isn’t common in that world.
Maine: Soda is too flashy for me. I prefer raw text.
Kerbal Space Program 2
Similarly, VLC names their releases after Discworld characters. It’s a fun way to make major versions feel like more than just a number increment.
It gets called that everywhere. Most people never need to know the actual specs for a screw, so language diverges from the classification system.
I usually keep the corrections to myself, but when somebody else is already correcting someone and they say the wrong thing too it becomes hard.
Flathead is a description of the head profile, like panhead. Slotted is the screwdriver type that is just a single slot.
I’ve been playing Gamedle recently. I tend to discover interesting games both as answers and while researching the info I have.
More biomes don’t fix the fundamental flaw in the design. It treats planets the same way Raft treats islands. They become purely a resource hunt for the player, no matter what skin they have.
Raft gets away with it by having your base travel with you, being incredibly hostile, and being short enough that the loop doesn’t get tiring.
NMS and Starbound struggle from the same issues. Infinite tiered worlds end up feeling the same, but also remove all meaning from the exploration. In Minecraft or Terraria you aren’t going to be flying to a totally new place in five minutes, so you want to get to know your surroundings and put down some roots.
Travel time and not having tiered world progression makes the player care about where they are at instead of seeing it as a stepping stone.
I’ve been reading through the books and I’m astounded by just how well the authors have thought through the little details.
I’m also even more impressed with the adaptation to TV now that I’ve read them. The only thing they weren’t able to adapt was the difference in tone and mindset between the perspective characters.
Almost done with the Inaros books, looking forward to the unadapted books.
People still sculpt. Go look up Bobby Fingers on YouTube to get an idea of what sculpting looks like.
There are a variety of clays. From what I hear, most sculptors use some form of air-dry, not firing clay like pottery would use.
Nobody ever sculpted in marble. You would sculpt in clay, make a plaster mold, fine-tune the design, then meticulously transfer it to marble.
They have two avenues to make money:
Generative AI doesn’t get any training in use. The explosion in public AI offerings falls into three categories:
To make a good model you need two things:
User data might meet need 2, but it fails at need 1. Running random data through neural networks to make it more exploitable (more accurate interest extraction, etc) makes sense, but training on that data doesn’t.
This is clearly demonstrated by Google’s search AI, which learned lots of useful info from Reddit but also learned absurd lies with the same weight. Not just overtuned-for-confidence lies, straight up glue-the-cheese-on lies.
Warhammer or Gears of War?
I can only think of one TPS currently released (another on the way) in the Warhammer series. It’s more known for strategy and tactics games.
The lack of pressure leads to absurd file sizes for silly things.
A few weeks ago, I needed a vector company logo, so I asked our graphics team for one. The file they sent me was 6MB. While working with it, I noticed it was actually quite clean, so I exported it as an SVG and it came out to 2KB. 1/3000th the size for the exact same graphic.
I opened their file up in a text editor and found font configs for specific printer models (in a graphic with only filled curves), conditional logic, multiple thumbnails, and other junk.
That’s what usually happens with tarrifs. Unless there’s a ton of other competition, domestic producers just increase their prices by the same amount.
Banks like to think that branch employees (bank tellers) are sales people. Most of them give ‘goals’ to each employee requiring them to open a certain number of new accounts, land a certain number of loans, etc each week/month. It isn’t ethical since the only people you can really sell on those services are the ones who should least get them. Anyone who actually wants/needs the services will come to you.
Wells Fargo differed from the rest of the industry by setting completely impossible goals, not just unethical ones. This led to them developing a culture where signing people up for services they didn’t agree to became commonplace.
I feel the need to point out that a float isn’t an integer with a decimal stuck on. A floating point number is called that because the precision on both sides of the decimal point changes depending on the size of the number.
It’s actually stored as an exponent and a value to apply the exponent to. This allows you to express incredibly tiny numbers and incredibly large numbers, but the gaps between representable numbers is inconsistent.
You know how 10 / 3 * 3 is often not 10 because the decimal representation loses the repeating .33? In float, you run into the same issue but in much less predictable places.
The note reads:
