Which is an arbitrary string, yes.

I’m not sure I would trust any developer that was involved with that download page. Who decided to sort by an arbitrary string assigned to a build? Might as well sort by hash.

German also has Trauring (and related words) going back to that root. Although it’s rather archaic and not used nearly as much as Ehe or Heirat. And then there’s Hochzeit for just the ceremony.

I never realized how many words we use for wedding…

Yes, this does nothing for game dev. But I don’t think it was supposed to.

The fact that this is a genAI Model generating a reasonable, context aware image a whopping 20 times a second is nonetheless pretty impressive.

This is also the reason why failed experiments hardly ever get published: “We tried X to achieve Y but it did not work because of Z” is very useful information for people also thinking about trying X, but good luck publishing that paper.

The book of job is about a side that is doing really well in life, until god takes away his family and fortunes. He is angry at god, but ultimately, god caves and restores his former life.

I was just about to comment exactly this. Complete with finally changing the difficulty back to normal while fighting Moder.

We also found that Moder’s health was so high that the fight was not doable in a day, leaving us fighting packs of wolves (which could two shot us while blocking) during the night as well.

That’s pretty useful of you’re at a concert holding a beer though!

The jupyter console is just a better version of the interactive shell. Great for just trying out some lines of code.

I also use notebooks at work to try out some APIs, to skip the tedium of the initial setup or some other routines.

I played it as a kid and then some friends reintroduced me to it on uni, including time of custom maps and game modes (the rules of which had to be enforced by ourselves)

Like maps where you only had rope, but there was a crate spawn every turn.

Or where you had to rope over a spire in the center of the map before you were allowed to attack, with a 45s turn timer to make it even spicier.

At some points, we even projected the game above the blackboard while doing coursework, which was as about as productive as it sounds.

That still leaves the microphone.

The actual simple and sane solution would just be to require indicator leds hardwired to the literal power supply lines of the camera chip/microphone, so they’re physically impossible top turn off while recording.

But that would require US or EU legislation.

John Powell’s opening for How to Train your Dragon deserves a shoutout for including every major Leitmotiv of the movie.

I’ll let someone smarter go into 18 minutes of more detail here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4UUJQH7GLms

To be fair, the levelling mechanics in some ubisoft games (looking at you, AC origins) are complete garbage that do nothing but arbitrarily restrict your movement.

Still unsure why people would pay to skip them though.

HEADOFF! APPLY DIRECTLY TO FOREHEAD!

The sound quality is definitely worse than similarly priced regular headphones or earbuds.

But having the ears completely free make them a great option for cycling or running, where keeping track of your surroundings is literally kind of vital.

Speaking of Zenk, he’s clearly a DMPC that was introduced because the DM was annoyed by the players derailing the plot.

I just wish K9 would support nested folders in the sidebar instead of flattening them.

For Germany, it’s in Bad Fallingbostel, halfway between Hamburg and Hannover.

over thirty-one thousand landlord clients managing over 19.7 million rental units

In case anyone is still wondering why housing is fucked, this is it right here. That’s an average of over 600 rental units per landlord.

People renting out their old house for a small profit are not the issue. Like a lot of things, it really only breaks once corporations get involved.
