Am I the only one who can still have fun while dialing it back a bit? Just "fumble" a few times, fall behind intentionally, and then use your skill to catch back up. If you can't catch up, your friends win and have fun. If you do catch back up, your friends think it was a close game. Either way you get to flex and nobody thinks you're a sweaty tryhard and we all get to have fun.

"observing changes the result" doesn't mean conciousness attempting to look at it changes the result, there is nothing special about conciousness (in quantum mechanics)

"observing changes the result" means we try to measure atoms and fields but unfortunately our measurement tools are also made out of atoms and fields which interact with the atoms and fields we are trying to measure, giving us a different result than if we don't attempt to measure it

It does bring up interesting questions about what the "real" behavior of reality is tho, since anything we observe is technically different than what it would be if left alone. We can only ever know what a slightly altered state of reality is

OW2 is free, they're probably referring to buying OW1 only for them to shut it down and rerelease the same exact game but with battlepass characters.

I feel bad for calling in sick because my department is horrifically understaffed and 1 person not showing up for work increases the workload of everyone else by about 50%. And since it's a hospital, it's not like we can just continue working like normal and let the company eat the profit loss; if our department is not working at 100% then innocent people's health suffers.

I'm gonna make my own (thing)! With blackjack! And hookers!... In fact, forget the (thing)!

it can be used in so many contexts and the last line usually gets a laugh.

This is the result of using black and white terminology for something that is a fluid scale. Square peg meets circle hole (although this guy definitely knows his holes).

Was that knight planning on just charging head first into what he perceived to be a stone castle wall?

this is very ominous without the image

I might be wrong, but aren't whales the target demographic for microtransactions? It's not like the majority of players are buying them. It's a "vocal" minority that make the business model viable via insane spending habits and the rest of us just have to deal with it.

I don't care how true or false this report is, FINALLY something different and interesting appears on my Everything feed. It's refreshing to be able to read a well put-together (if a little LARPy) post with an active comment section that isn't about linux or elon musk.

a gun that makes holes

not bullet holes

This isn't even a good photoshop, it looks like it was made in snapchat

Fuck me what a horrifying/exciting time to be a computer science student. I feel like I'm either going to be obsolete by the time I'm handed a degree or my job will basically be doodling and asking a robot butler to do everything for me.

as someone who religously read the whole thing as it was updated, it's not worth reading

Genuine question for the homies who have played Spider-Man 2: did they write Miles to be any more interesting? I liked Spider-Man 1 Peter's dialogue and jokes, like, a lot. I enjoyed playing as Miles in his own game, but I thought the character was boring, just, so so boring. Especially in contrast to Spiderverse's version of Miles. I haven't bought 2 yet, is Miles more fun to listen to this time? Could I enjoy Spider-Man 3 as a full Miles game if I thought that the Spider-Man: Miles Morales game had a disappointing protagonist?

This is a stretch that my doctor told me to do to ease the symptoms of tendonitis in my right thumb/wrist. I guess maybe if I did it fast enough it might be dangerous, but I was literally told to do this often by a medical professional lol

Man, the GBA had so many great RPGs on it, even if half of them were SNES rereleases. Also how did you get a copy of Mother 3, lol

Our lab's auto pipetter is broken about 60% of the time, most days we just shut it off and reroute specimens to the workbenches to do it by hand because it's faster than attempting to fix it or call customer service. Maybe once the good-for-nothing customer service repair phone line is replaced by AI it will actually function and be worth the half a million dollars we spent on this stupid machine, lol

best we can do is release 1 new animal per year that does nothing (out of 3 options we present to you, you'll never see the other 2 tho) and one new cosmetic block that does nothing. but maybe if you ask nicely we'll spend all year making the sky box taller. we're a small indie dev pls understand

microsoft money? sorry we spent it all creating a microtransaction store for dance emotes
