TIL the obsession over taking in all the groceries in one trip isn’t an exclusively human trait.

Elon Musk: “Let’s have it run the government. But fire everyone before we try it first.”

If I ever got tired of my car and wanted to burn it down somewhere safe and legal to do it, I’d do it the same way as it is usually done for any kind of car: break the window, douse the inside with a flammable liquid and light it up. I’d also have to be very careful while lighting it because if the flammable fumes have time to build up inside before being lit, it could explode and injure the person lighting it.

Additionally, if anything Fail videos have taught me is that fooling around with flammable liquids and fire can quickly go very bad. I would also have a friend with a natural fiber blanket nearby just in case.

If you lack true talent in your workforce, you can’t make up for it by throwing more people and money at it.

Additionally, if you have true talent in your workforce, YOU LET THEM DO THEIR THING.

Is that actually a thing? I haven’t used Windows in a year.

In parallel universes where he wasn’t born of a rich family, Trump is a car salesman. This is our universe trying to find balance.

Yes, it makes sense in a game where the designer already knows where the important action is and controls the camera to focus on it. It however does not work in a game where the action could be anywhere and camera doesn’t necessarily focus on it.

When it’s on, whatever the playable character looks at will be in focus and everything else that is at different distances will be blurry, as it would be the case in real life if your eyes were the playable character’s eyes. The problem is that the player’s eyes are NOT the playable character’s eyes. Players have the ability to look around elsewhere on the screen and the vast majority of them use it all the time in order to play the game. But with that stupid feature on everything is blurry and the only way to get them in focus is to move the playable character’s view around along with it to get the game to focus on it. It just constantly feels like something is wrong with your eyes and you can’t see shit.

Has the person who invented the depth of field effect for a video game ever even PLAYED a game before?

I introduced by young nephews to Mario Kart. They were too bad at the game to race so we played battle mode instead. I’ve let them fight each other as I hung back and practiced drifting around the map, only to intervene whenever one of them was getting a little too cocky.

Sorry Americans, here goes your main source of dairy products that weren’t produced with questionable hormones.

My father was in the Canadian military and posted to Germany in the late 70’s. My mother was born and grew up in a small village in Alsace-Lorraine. When she reached adulthood her parents bought her a train ticket, gave her a bit of pocket money and sent her away from home so she could learn to live independently. She ended up in Chamonix and picked up a job at a restaurant/hotel, where she met my father who happened to be on a ski trip there.

What if they’re stalking their prey?

“All you have to do is just pay attention!”

I call BS. There are still tools and ways you could easily break through it. Plenty of which are far better than just kicking it.

970 and the drivers are still shite

The IT guy just liked to play games at lunch time. He even organized a few LAN parties every year at the school.

The Tesla power armoured Battalion was defeated due to the enemy timing its attacks with mandatory software updates.

All I knew from my perspective was that this teacher was angry at the existence of those games and the IT guy never removed them so she tried to circumvent him. To me that tells me that the school management either allowed it or simply didn’t care.

The computers weren’t really that locked down or secure from user tampering. Some idiots would even install malware all the time on them like Bonzi Buddy for shits and giggles. The IT guy didn’t strike me as the hard working type and would only re-image a computer if it was no longer functioning.

That reminds me of back when I was in high school. The IT guy was a big gamer and had installed RainbowSix on all the machines in the computer lab so we could play against each other during lunch time including himself.

One stuck up, self-righteous teacher heard about the game and tried to have the IT guy delete it from all the computers because they were “violent games that had no business being in school”. He refused and the school’s administration seemed to have his back on it. So during a computer class she instructed the entire class to delete the game folder from their computer and empty the recycle bin and then leave the file explorer open so she could walk around and see that it has been done.

While everyone else were deleting theirs I copied the game folder on my machine elsewhere, then deleted the original to show her that it wasn’t there anymore. After she was gone I moved the folder back where it belonged and shared it on the network so everyone else could copy it back into their computer. The following lunch break it took less than 5 minutes to get the game back on everyone’s computer and we kept playing like nothing happened. Get fucked, hag.
