Though by modern cosmetic DLC standards, the horse armor was really cheap. $2.50 for a skin is super reasonable.

The original voice actor, Charles Martinet, also did Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi himself.

At the very least it’s tacit agreement that cracks are an important part of digital preservation.

Peter Molyneux didn’t work on Spore, that was Will Wright.

I get why people would think you’d be able to do seamless ground to space flight, but let’s face it: Bethesda is the company that even in their more recent games needed loading screens to enter large buildings. Contiguous flight was never going to happen.

I don’t think anybody worries about those things happening with long dresses, which are already plenty common and have similar risk.

Of course they made the trivial mistake, because they also made a much, much bigger one. The X trademark as it pertains to social media is owned by Meta, who bought it from Microsoft when they acquired Mixer (which later became Facebook Gaming), including Mixer’s X logo.

Have you considered that they probably feel the same way about you? That you’re disregarding what they say and pushing back with your own outlook?

So the answer to your other question is “Yes!” The Statue of Liberty is also green because it’s made of copper. It was metallic when it was first installed in 1886, but had turned fully green within 20 years.

You’re correct that it often comes pre-installed, but the banner on those say “Office has not been activated” not “The license isn’t genuine”

Are you thinking of OpenOffice, maybe? OnlyOffice’s latest stable release is only three weeks ago, while OpenOffice has only had incremental updates to version 4.1 since 2014.

There was a popular tweet that went around for a bit, that said something along the lines of “When Musk started SpaceX and people called him a genius, I believed them because I don’t know anything about how space programs work. When people said he was a genius for his work at Tesla, I believed them because I don’t know anything about cars. Now he owns Twitter, and I know programming and the things he’s doing are the dumbest things I’ve ever seen, which makes me think twice about his space program and cars.”

Basically, he managed to get followers because he focused on niche technology and hey, he’s rich so he must know what he’s doing. But then he started saying things more and more publicly, culminating with the takeover and ruination of Twitter, and people finally saw him for who he actually is, because he was in control of something that affected them directly, and handling it terribly.

The avatar upload is in the profile tab of the settings page which is different than your profile page just to keep you on your toes.

@eggie Yoku’s Island Express. It’s a metroidvania, but also pinball. It’s an absolute delight.

only members of the communities I frequent are the ones who care enough to protest

That’s one of the most solipsistic “if it doesn’t affect me it doesn’t exist” comments I’ve seen in a good while.

Unfortunately that link doesn’t work on kbin, which uses /m/ instead of /c/

Hopefully we’ll get patches in the future that will link the ! format correctly no matter what software or instance we’re using.

Phineas Gage. He was a railroad worker who, in a freak accident, had a large iron rod driven completely through his head, destroying a chunk of his brain. He survived, but his personality had completely changed. It led to a lot of rethinking on what the brain actually does.

Microsoft isn’t going to be replacing desktop Windows installations with cloud installations, and nowhere in the article does it suggest it is.

I’d say Microsoft’s long term needle-moving strategy including the bullet point “Move Windows 11 increasingly to the cloud” suggests it pretty strongly. Calling it “needle-moving” says to me that they want the cloud to be more and more the expected default, rather than an option that exists alongside desktop installs.

A company of Reddit’s size might make hundreds of millions in ad revenue, but they also have hundreds of millions in costs. For example, spez said recently they have ~2000 employees. If we make a conservative estimate that the average salary is $50k, that’s $100 Million a year just in payroll (and given that they’re based in San Francisco, it’s definitely higher than that). And if you consider all the computers, servers, electricity and other utilities, marketing, etc, etc, it adds up quick.

I think the Katamari Damacy soundtrack is the one I return to the most. It’s distilled joy.
