My grandma thought one of her pregnancies was a hangover at first…

A proper long Island is about 5 ounces of liquid with 4 of them being liquor. That’s way more potent than a bee and a shot.

That just adds more bad teams, maybe it solves the not playing in a month.

I think the update is happening either way, though probably not to a better system for the fans.

0-6. Sucks to win a bye I guess.

That is the trend. At least one big 10 team needs to win

Going nearly a month without playing is actually a huge negative and these playoffs hurt the good teams with a bye. We should be watching the final or semi finals today, not a month from now.

What is impressive is that Snorlax is still high on the heaviest pokemon list over a literal whale.

There’s plenty of games that you could say the same about that didn’t get the traction. It’s still a hit based industry. It’s not a knock against the game, it’s a reality of the industry.

You’re thinking about it as a user. AI based auto complete is an impressive sounding feature that got someone a promotion or bonus.

AI in Excel sounds great as a prompting system to make features more usable. As auto complete for cell level values it would be absurd. Being able to prompt a pivot table or let AI figure out the combination of functions to get a value you wanted seems useful.

The starter edition bundle is 11.99 us and the ultimate is 104.80 in USD. There’s basically 2 different types of DLCs in the paradox model. The core expansion type that is released every year or so and adds or fleshes out an area of the game, these are generally must haves and reasonably priced if you have played the game for a year(s) to mix it up. The second is smaller focused packs that add a faction or some extra flavor to a more minor mechanic. These are relatively expensive for what they offer, but aren’t always intended for everyone to buy.

If you are a hardcore completionist this model is bad for you, but if you can live with not having everything then it’s not terrible.

I think the big studios lost reality with what the gaming market is. It’s a hit based business, you need a level of volume that they’ve been backing off on. It’s not that the expedition 33 devs were so much better, they just happened to be the lucky ones that put out a solid game that got traction.

EA is great for small and medium sized studios to get games out that might be a bit more ambitious than they could manage with traditional models. The point of AAA is that they have the money to do big impressive things. They can already do focus groups and closed betas to get community feedback. The thing that might attract AAA attention is you could make a good amount without actually releasing anything.

Early access is more about getting revenue during development and some limited QA potential. There shouldn’t be any surprises in the feedback, that would be a sign of major problems. EA also generally comes with a discount for the player which is anathema to the AAA crowd.

There’s plenty of constraints still, they aren’t technical though. It’s about making a game good despite the monetization requirements.

A car is absolutely doable without financing l. It’s a poverty trap to finance a car. What you can’t do is have a brand new car.

For the vast majority of people the only debt they should ever get is a house.

Land use would be lower if we reduced livestock, but likely not massively. Lots of grazing land isn’t suitable for farming, letting it go wild would also require a massive effort to reintroduce natural grazing animals, which would likely need active management. There’s also the fact most of our crops would need to change to optimize for human consumption, and humans aren’t as efficient at consuming those calories as livestock. Even after transitioning crops there’s going to be a significant amount that isn’t processable by humans that would sustain some amount of livestock.

Timezones really suck because it only takes one person doing something wrong and it makes a giant mess.
