The 30% cut Steam takes is quite a bit. Considering the near-monopoly it has on game distribution, that could easily mean the difference between turning a profit and not for an indie developer.
Personally their efforts towards things I support (PC handhelds, Linux gaming) and the convenience of the platform outweigh the things I dislike, but being frustrated by its problems is understandable when people don't really have another choice.
I was using a nice firefighter duck named Cleo, but he was underperforming so he had to be let go. Now I have Rufus:
I was afraid a mouse wouldn't be able to do a duck's job, but he threatened to sue so I had to give him a shot. Glad I did, he's proven as capable as any duck I've known.
Yes there is, here's a link to the github
Fuck yeah I would. As long as it's cheap and relatively safe I'd take instant transportation over spending hours sitting in a metal box any day.
It really doesn't work as a replacement for google/docs/forums. It's another tool in your belt, though, once you get a good feel for its limitations and use cases; I think of it more like upgraded rubber duck debugging. Bad for getting specific information and fixes, but great for getting new perspectives and/or directions to research further.
Yes, in the same way a tomato is a fruit.
I don't know about pasta, but cooked rice can go bad within a few hours, definitely wouldn't eat it after a few days. Unless you mean dried rice but I don't know how you'd cook it without boiling water.
Funny this comes up, I just made jerky at home for the first time a couple days ago. Much cheaper and very tasty. Easier than I was expecting too.
They're about as good as you could expect from a major cloud storage provider. In theory the encryption means that Mega can't access your files, but they're expressly very cooperative with government agencies so don't bet on anything you put there being entirely secure. I haven't heard of any major problems with them though - it's what I've been using for cloud storage the past few years and I haven't had an issue. As long as files aren't shared and therefor at risk of being reported there's not much to worry about, though in the case of things getting reported it's a 'take down first, ask questions later' type deal.
Here's a transparency report from them (how much to trust it is up to you): https://blog.mega.io/mega-transparency-report-2021/
That's beautiful, thanks for sharing. People like you and the judge, who will go against the grain to do the right thing, are what let me hope that we as a species might someday be able to get our shit together.
Yeah the last time I watched a movie in a theater was Top Gun Maverick which had a Tom Cruise intro. There was a teenager sitting near that was trying to make jokes throughout the entire movie; they were as unfunny as they were loud. The theater's great sound system doesn't really matter when you can't hear it over obnoxious audience members.
I wonder what the future of theaters looks like. I hope they realize that home is just a better way to watch movies, and start pivoting into the 'experience' aspect; start serving quality food, or add a live host, or regularly have themed events. Imagine if there was one next to a convention center - if there was e.g. an anime convention they could show a bunch of anime films to tie into it.
Those aren't the best examples, but something along those lines is the only way I see myself watching a movie at a theater again. If they give me a reason to go I'll go, but right now, there just isn't one.
Error 404: Costume Not Found is a classic.
