I don’t know that non-lawyers need to figure out exactly what it means, but in an ideal world: if you pay for something that includes a continuation of services and the services stop continuing, you should be compensated fairly. I am not smart enough to word that in a way that can’t be worked around, “gotcha’d”, etc. but I’m guessing the spirit of the rules is fairly common ground for anyone who isn’t trying to rug-pull a service out from under those they sell it to.
For the first example, absolutely. If some execs have a meltdown, it could change future services but anyone who was promised Disney+ on their Tesla with no limit on it should get a fair refund. I understand that there’s a slippery slope argument here, and no– the value of Disney+ in a car isn’t 100% the value of it. But it’s BS that a manchild having an Internet meltdown loses people a service they had and “paid for”
Great video, per usual from James. I like the takeaway of “be wary of simple mechanisms decisively affecting complex situations” both in this context and in general
Oh maybe we can chain a bunch of cars together so they can accelerate and brake in synch.
And if the wheels were metal on the metal rail, it’d be even lower friction
Not really related, but of a similar vein:
A buddy of mine is an ER surgeon in a rough city in the US. Says that they usually don’t take out bullets from people, just leave them unless they’re causing a problem specifically. It blows my mind that the human body is just fine with it
Are you playing on an emulator? There’s a plethora of cool Pokemon roms based on fire red
That’s a cool read. I would much rather play a smaller passion-project of a game than a AAA one anyway, but it’s cool to see markets shifting that way on the large
I started one quick Pokerogue run on Friday and now it’s Sunday and I haven’t put it down
I didn’t even know that “BioShock Infinite good” was a hot take. I loved the story, and it’s somewhat open ended nature. That’s most of my friends’ takes as well
Can you drink decaf? There’s quite a few good ones out there, and you can play with preparation to make it how you like it
I just can’t put Hades II down! It’s not finished, and I’m running up against that more and more. But the polish is incredible!
Holy hype batman. I’m so stoked!
Done! Thanks for making this visible. It wasn’t too hard at all. Hopefully this will help everyone be able to continue spot passing
These all sound like emulator-ideal criteria to me!
There’s a lot of non-free versions of that which are super reasonable and meet all of your other criteria nicely. Stardew Valley, Slay the Spire. Games that are full games for a one time low cost.
That’d be pretty interesting if they could pull it off
Yeah, a few “natural disasters” or random whatever’s would add to the mid/late game. Once water is stable, it’s easy to thrive anytime. Bad water is a nice mix up for that for sure.
And yeah, big time machine energy.
I have about a hundred hours in it. Here’s some scattered thoughts:
–The devs clearly care a lot and it’s a labor of love. They communicate well, provide updates, listen to feedback, engage with the community. They’re lovely.
–the game has a fun series of mechanics, good visuals, good music, fun vibes. It’s a bit… Sandboxy, towards later in most runs. I don’t know what to do with my settlement come cycle 12-15 (cycle is 12-20 days or so). I wish there was a little more of a goal for it, like scenarios
–good mod support and map making. People have made some dope maps for it
I’m gonna continue to revisit it as campaign/scenarios evolve, as mechanics are added, and as I want to get my beaver vibe on
You can disable (today, anyway) the internet search, and it gets wildly more useful after that. I wonder if it’s trying to be two things: searching your computer like it should, and for the less computer literate it’s “help me”
Yup, I have a Litter Robot 4 and we love it. It saves a ton on little costs, but was a massive upfront cost.
Easier to travel and the litter stay clean, it’s always clean for the cats and they love it. We’re big fans.
