Why do you have a man-portable Tesla Coil as a plunger?

Damn that’s some impressive stuff! :o

Yeah just casually dropping in there that his dad sets up a go-cart track for the family get-together in the garden, sure.

It’s important to have the right-size flange for each hole, yes.

Sadly not. I wish. Or maybe it’s per-country? Here in Germany it’s all Apple. Apple Maps, Apple Weather, etc. And they’re all equally terrible and seem to be extremely US-centric in their results.

Yeah I was more comparing how they push things on you, too. They’re of course much nicer, in particular because you can just turn things off, which is how it ought to work. I don’t mind things being default-on, most users would otherwise never realize stuff even exists. But it really needs to be able to be disabled, like how DDG allows it. (But sadly not for their godawful Apple Maps)

Also, Apple Maps is totally fine, it’s not overloaded with ads like Google Maps is and it basically always finds the place I search for.

Okay this is the one thing I’d readily disagree on.

Beyond its absolutely inability to find non-US results (there’s a steak house next to me, I can enter that exact name including capitalization + the name of the city I live in, and it’ll instead find a different-named steak house in a US city names like my non-US one instead), not being able to click places on the map to select them is just laughable.

Nevermind how it’s navigation is ridiculous, at least over here. It just travels shortest path, no respect for traffic lights or anything.

It’s a very good showcase of how superior Google Maps actually is, as a maps application. And how much openstreetmap has left everything else in the dust, too.

DDG

“Hey wanna use our AI chat?!”
“Hey, like these autogenerated result-blobs instead of your actual results?”
“Hey, we thought you hate finding the place you were looking for, so we use Apple Maps to ensure you’re getting fucking nowhere, ever!”

I wish DDG was usable. All it is, is a good showcase that Google isn’t as bad as they could be.

Yeah everything about this is wrong.

They could have had this golden opportunity if this came out the very week OW1 went OW2 and pissed everybody off. Even with the pay-once price and all that.

But now, it’s much much much too late.

(edit)
Also, people underestimate just how much art style makes or breaks these games. Concord has some neat hero designs, cool ability sets and smart ideas, but it looks so utterly generic. The heroes are somewhat okay even though they really need an art style that doesn’t look like a leftover CoD asset, but wow the levels and gameplay and weapons and all all look like asset flips.

Artists, Sony. Hire some. Your AI cannot save you, as should be evident at this point. Stop paying the corporate accountant to design level art.

You must be reading weird reviews then. Probably too deep into the influencer-bubble, which granted with the proliferation of video reviews and the way algorithms work on Youtube and so on is sadly rather comment.

I would quarantine that game in my review bucket based on it’s isolation of specific trigger words such as ‘COVID-19’. I’d rather talk about Winnie the Pooh, tbh.

Good to know you like censorship.

Some things are just for men, their depression, their anger, their pain…”.

I mean, you can just ask for suicide watch straight up, instead of veiling it like that?

Yeah but due to the extra indentation in the second image, the python part doesn’t work.

Betteridge’s law says the answer is ‘no’.

The general rule against youtubers too full of hearing themselves talk says ‘I couldn’t give a rat’s arse, not going to click that link either way’.

It’s weird how little identity this has now, visually. The previous design was quite striking, now it looks easily confused for something else.

Maybe this works better with screen readers though since it’s just black text on white background in simple text blocks.

Oh. Man imagine if they had not privatized such basic public services…

Why YSK: Locking your credit with the main 3 places is not enough.

Someone explain to me what that means. You mean you have to ask different agencies when asking for a loan? Wouldn’t you just talk to the bank you want the loan from?

Tentatively excited.

Liked CrossCode despite the rough edges. This looks like it’s the same thing in more polished, so if it’s as good as the trailer implies, I’ll probably get it pretty quickly.
