This is a international variant of the video. The intention is to have the text rendered as a forced subtitle so that it can be localized without having to serve a different video for every language.

They don’t have the English version doing that, likely because it was assumed it would serve the original video instead.

Is his hat embroidered backwards? The Walmart sign and his shirt are both mirrored, but his hat isn’t.

My first thought too.

My wife wanted to go mining for her birthday. We’re sitting in a hotel five hours from home right now after a lovely Day swinging picks and with a bucket of rock to show for it.

Or being able to get nothing as diet/zero because they never replace the non-hfcs BIBs.

Half of restaurants seem to forget what backup is when they get these machines.

They teased it yesterday and announced it today. Everything before that was leaks, which have been trickling out for months but accelerated last week.

It’s sort of like the dual pronunciation of the word ‘a’ in English. While that has more distinct rules, it’s still mostly which one feels nicer.

2/3rds adspace, 1/3 article. Media hasn’t changed much…

Fun article. Written in a great voice.

The main hurdle is modern anti cheat. Many old games actually work better on Linux because of fans making dedicated tweaks.

Pretty sure Jason Statham twirling in a leapord print speedo gives him with a big gun a run for its money.

Summary: They were seeing a disconnect between Arkham Asylum player stats and sales, indicating a large portion of the playerbase blasting through the game then selling it back to retailers. WB studios were directed to explore ways to lengthen player engagement, preferably enough to keep the game forever.

The nemesis system gives some light procedural flair to an otherwise-deaigned experience. I don’t think it did what they hoped it would, but it was still a great mechanic.

Both combined is $15.58. That doesn’t include the excellent expansions for either game though.

They are the only portal-likes (chamber-based player movement puzzlers) that I’d place on the same level as the Portal games.

Lingo ($6.99/$9.99) is an incredible exploration and word puzzle game. It also has a few excellent custom maps such as Duolingo and Liduongo.

A sequel (Lingo 2 $9.99) just released and is also excellent. It changes how puzzle rules are presented, making them playable in either order. It’s a more polished experience though, so playing the first game after would probably feel like a step backward.

Bananas grow from seeds inside the fruit. Since we bred the seeds out, now it’s a clone-only plant.

Scare us away? Some of us are on instances that make the connection more obvious.

Want a fun piece of trivia? Epic Pinball launched Digital Extremes, the developer behind Warframe.

It doesn’t allow for any use of your data. It allows for use of your data to do the things you ask it to do. That permission is implied by you asking it to do something, but it isn’t explicitly stated.

The AI clause is conditional. It only applies if you use the AI features.

The game prints enough money that they could afford to have a writing staff and illustration team. I think the idea is that building character depth will make a subset of players more connected to them. This keeps them playing and also increases the odds of them buying a skin for the character.

It’s similar to the Meet The ______ videos from TF2 and the comics that built on them.

That’s likely true, but we can write a fair contract that allows for that.

1. A pay rate for the time spent recording, slightly lower than the normal rate
2. A pay rate per minute of generated vocal content using user telemetry. For users that opt out of sharing, pay out based on averages applied against their total playtime.

Linux Mint uses GPL2 LibreOffice uses MPL 2

Those are licenses for you to use the software. They aren’t licenses for the software maintainer to use your information.

There’s an important fact you may not know: Politicians often have no understanding of things they are regulating. Why is this important? A future privacy law could easily be written such that a browser doing browser things (like submitting a comment on an unrelated website) could be construed as the maintainer using user data. They are getting ahead of that possibility by requiring that you give them permission to do the things you want them to do.
