narcissistic arsehole
I've recently got suckered into a group that turned out to consider calling people "narcissistic" is an "ableist slur... because narcissism is a disability".
EM is still kind of a real life Tony Stark, the character is not exactly an altruistic philanthropist either.
Well, there is an OpenSource client, and private servers with custom rules. That makes every modification possible.
Not great. We'll see during next hatching season.
For every $0.024 that TikTok gets, they pay out $0.005, meaning TikTok keeps 80% of it.
With TikTok just skimming 80% off the top of all prize money... 🙄
US company enacting puritanical culture erasure guidelines? What's new?
If they want their culture preserved, there is peertube and archive.org, but they may have trouble monetizing them.
The problem is that some people are "so copyleft"... that they fall into the MIT honeytrap.
Crazy talk, and you're onto something... that's been solved already.
First part: you hate that a 10+ years old game is only getting cosmetic changes instead of a rehaul of the whole character model. That's crazy, nobody's going to do that, not the ones expecting a profit, and not the modding community doing it for free. If you feel it's a silly change, you're right, but realize that it's the only change they could do.
You're onto something: body feature sliders. Male, female, giraffe, and turtle bodies, have some structural differences, that however mostly match to the same bones having different shapes. The solution is a body shape slider, or 50. It's something that existed, in some games, since at least the 2000s. Others were lazy and didn't do it.
For reference of how far this could go, the following all have the same bones, only change in shape, size, and muscle placemen:
Games could have multiple protagonists with different bodies, genders, personalities, etc... something like Overwatch did have that, you could even play as a hamster or a robot!
What I'm wondering is, how is a Russia-controlled domain still working, if it's been banned by Russia?
I have to come to the defense of orthonormativity. I know the allure of coming up with your own way of writing stuff, but a shared orthographic frame helps communication, while the opposite comes through as careless dumping of the effort to decode a message onto each and every one of the recipients.
On the bright sight, he also promised Saudi Arabia to build a Hyperloop, also for The Line city in Neom, that's turning out to be a great way to syphon SA's oil sales state fund.
But seriously, a Hyperloop would work best on Mars, where the pressure differential would be minimal, while a tube would keep the dust out. Elon's master plan is still to build a Mars colony with indentured servants under threat of no air. On the way, he's scamming whoever it takes, and getting any investment or benefit he can land.
