The reason for this is actually pretty interesting though. Historically it was just a US/UK English difference, but it evolved into both being used because one of the first big manufacturers of optical discs, Philips, called them discs, while the US-based IBM spelled their magnetic disks with a K.
Depends on what you mean by help. Yes, it would communicate the point better, but it’s engagement bait, so the ambiguity is a feature rather than a bug.
They’re worse. They’re really the next generation of Cuil.
Historical context makes it even weirder. The split was because WV allied with the North in the Civil War, North Virginia makes infinitely more sense in more ways than one.
The really weird case is “two thousand” to “two thousand nine”, then we revert back to “twenty ten” and onward.
However, as the name implies, this is nothing special about pi. Almost all numbers have this property. If anything, it’s the integers that we should be finding weird, like you mean to tell me that every single digit after the decimal point is a zero? No matter how far you go, just zeroes forever?
It’s like having a pissing and no pissing side in a pool.
Someone who was a tech journalist rather than a games journalist, and posted the attempts as a bit of self-deprecating humor. Of course capital-G Gamers think being bad at a game is a Serious Crime and nothing to joke about, so they responded as you would expect.
Knowing how the vocal minority thinks, they’re probably deliberately ignoring the advice because they think any form of preparation or mitigation is cheating.
What definition of “actually difficult” are you using here? All difficulty in games boils down to learning things. If you exclude anything learnable, you reach absurd conclusions like the only true form of difficulty is colorblind inaccessibility.
Only partially, unfortunately. There aren’t a lot of people who speak full on Scots, the majority of Scotland speaks a dialect of English with a handful of Scots vocabulary now. It’s an endangered language.
It would have been nice to play through the entire story from beginning to end now that they’ve added the finale to the arc. But you can’t do that.
The danger isn’t that it’s smart, the danger is that it’s stupid.
Actual Zelda, not BotW/TotK.
For all but the most stubborn purists, that definition has sort of retreated to the more specific term “traditional roguelike”, letting the roguelike/roguelite distinction be about meta progression.
Easier but more interesting, and more of a solid foundation to build high end challenges on top of. 1.0 Gold Stake was not a fun experience, it was pushing the game to a breaking point. Now Gold Stake is a challenging but reasonably balanced feeling mode. Maybe not quite as hard as a top difficulty should be, but now the systems are in place to support extending the difficulties further.
I might be mistaking him with one of the other major grifters; the Venn diagram between racists, homophobes, transphobes, and antisemites is a circle.
And sexist, homophobic, antisemitic, the whole right wing dipshit starter pack.
So the Panopticon. The hypothetical prison that even people in the 1800s thought would be a human rights violation to build because it was such an extreme form of psychological torture.
