We’re talking about those PPP loans that businesses and the wealthy abused, and not student loans that people are stuck with due to systemic causes… Right… Right…

“Keep it simple” says the project that decided it would be great to program in YAML…

I’ve tried using it to manage a few home servers and parameterizing anything was painful and boilerplate-ridden

Everybody gangsta with the “don’t be evil” clause until the authors turn out to be a nutjob who thinks trans people are blights against God and must be exterminated.

I doubt (or at least hope) that that’s not what they think, but hopefully that illustrates why the clause is dumb.

STOP doing manifest destiny

Nations were never supposed to span from coast to coast

Want to have more coastline anyway? We have a solution for that: it’s called a PENINSULA

God: I will fix everything

Also God: I can’t/ haven’t fixed evil because then there’d be no free will

Switching from Xitter to bluesky (or anything else) is much much much easier than emigrating.

I would absolutely classify it as “core gameplay” given that it’s the primary ranged weapon of both the playable character and most of the NPCs, past the crossbow. Saying “oh just ignore the stuff you don’t like” is pretty dismissive of critique.

And don’t get me wrong - mons with base building is a good idea, which is why I played it. But IMO palworld doesn’t do much with it but put the two concepts together.

Really buggy at launch (not sure if it still is). “Pokemon with guns” is the least creative direction to take the concept. Devs reportedly don’t know how to use any sort of SCM, a basic development tool

The “standalone version with the best mods” you made I assume

Unfortunately Nintendo’s creativity also extends to their legal department

Part of the issue is that in most cases, viewing art requires benefitting the artist, either directly by purchasing it or indirectly by making it more popular. JK Rowling is the most prominent example. That said, it’s a spectrum.

Both mentioned games are notorious for the scale of the issues at launch, and the resulting backlash. NMS for the lack of content and Cyberpunk for the huge amount of bugs.

They both had a lot of issues at launch

And how is calling conservatives “weird” how you describe?

Compared to conservatives calling anything left of them “communist”, calling a party backing a felon president and a vice president that can’t even make small talk at a doughnut store “weird” is very fitting.

Copy Kitty: https://store.steampowered.com/app/349250/Copy_Kitty/ has a demo

Fun elimination platformer. If you wish Kirby did more with the power mixing from Kirby 64, you’ll probably like it.

FWIW It was recently on the steam front page for me

Anything with enough access to block malicious programs has enough access to block any other program by mistake.

Security modules like this usually get very invasive with the OS, to be able to monitor everything and so that malicious programs don’t have the ability to shut it off.

Low competition industries

Like most of them?

Damn why does all the software I want to use end up being developed by bigoted assholes. First nix now this.
