Everspace 2 is really close in terms of combat and overall gameplay, but it lacks the immersive simulation aspects. Freelancers idle radio chatter did some heavy lifting back in the day.
Back when a 4 minute song was like 1.5MB so you could fit more music on your 256MB mp3 player because you could not afford an iPod.
There’s the federal volunteer service, which is the spiritual successor. Basically the same thing, but without being forced into it. There also voluntary social or ecological years, which is kind of the same thing as well.
Always a great game to get back into. Or get into in the first place.
The latest patch was kind of disappointing and I hope they do tweak some of the issues, but I’m still looking forward to the new expansion reveal tomorrow. The teasers were pretty neat so far.
The catalogue seems largely identical to Spotify, but Tidal has higher quality music (I recently found an album in Dolby Atmos).
I also found their app to be more intuitive (which is not exactly a high bar compared to Spotify).
Most importantly though, Tidal has better rates for the artists instead of paying Joe Rogan.
They did a video about alternatives to Adobe a while back. And while they generally liked and praised programs such as Affinity, they did conclude that as a company, even minor losses in productivity (e.g. for their editors) quickly add up.
So yeah, it would not be the first time they present and praise alternatives even of they don’t end up using them.
There was a specific number that was repeated across a lot of papers in my field, always citing the same source.
That source did have the number, but it cited another paper for it, which itself cited yet an older paper. Im not sure where the citations went bad, but that last paper for not actually contain the value everyone waschain-attributing to it.
The number was fortunately still correct though (and people would have noticed pretty quickly if it wasn’t).
In other words, the question becomes: “Is an egg defined by the creature that laid it, or the creature that will hatch from it?”
The Stormlight Archives feature a significant amount of battles, many of which are epic.
The return of Bridge 4.
The entire climax of Words of Radiance. The battle, the storm, the hero coming down the mountain side from the sky.
“You cannot have my pain”
A simple (albeit inconvenient) way to improve safety in this case is to prohibit turning left and allowing for a U turn somewhat close by.
“I build for China”
Genius. If you export some of the apes, the remaining population requires less habitat, leaving more room for plantations! /s
There’s a video about a rail replacement helicopter in which Tim states that Tom wanted to do a video about it. But he was busy at the time, so they sent the tip to Tim instead.
Not unknowingly. The hacker turned on obvious cheats (wallhack, aimbot) during their matches. Both players reacted immediately, clearly stating that they have hacks on in voice chat. One of them then left the match, the other player continued, but stopped shooting.
Which only works when timezones exist. Without timezones, the question would need to be “what time of day is it in <location>?”, and you’d get “morning” or “afternoon”. Any answer to that question is inherently more fuzzy than 8:25 or 17:16.
Not to mention the two sequels World without End and A Column of Fire, set in the 1400s and 1600s, respectively, and the prequel Kingsbridge set around the year 1000.
Then there’s the century trilogy which takes place in the 20th century, and a whole lot of smaller works like A Dangerous Fortune, which manages to make you care for some bankers in 19th century London.
While they do have many kinds of photoreceptors, and can therefore see a large range of colours, they have very limited colour resolution: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2014.14578
As far as I understand it, they cannot blend the different light components nearly as well as humans do (e.g. seeing red and green at the same time and deduce that is yellow).
Science and academia, too. There’s way too few papers being published about failed experimemts. “I thought A, so I did B in order to achieve C, but it didn’t work out because of D.” is a very useful result.
