This is all absurd, obviously, but:

The new subscription can be stacked with a Plus, Gold or Platinum subscription for access to more features, the company notes.

$499 and you don't even get everything there is to get? You still have to pay for more? What in the fuck?

Terraria is like the anti-modern game. They absolutely refuse to evilly monetize their game at all. The playerbase is almost on their knees, begging them to move on from Terraria and make something else (not because Terraria is bad, but they've been at it for over a decade!) and they continue to churn out updates. The fanbase voted for a set of features to appear in Terraria 2, which they then turned around and scrapped, and added it as an update to Terraria. And all their updates are always free. And can't forget about their amazing mod support.

And redigit is just, like, the man.

The only users in that thread who seem supportive of this change and are berating "the other redditors throwing a fit" for whatever reason, and I count three of them, seem to all:

1. Have accounts 1-3 months old

2. Not have participated in /r/diving before this thread

Very interesting.

A very wrong proof once showed that the sum of all positive integers (1 + 2 + 3 + 4...) was -1/12. In reality, the infinite sum has no solution, so this proof became something of a meme.

Honestly, you just know this is someone with actual grammar skills pretending to write all broken-English like, it hits that creepy vibe right on the head. Like it's not obviously fake like some people who write crazy off the walls shit as bait; this gives off just the right amount of a lack of self-awareness that gives it an air of legitimacy. 10/10, props to OP.

Playing factorio has given me a deeper appreciation of how much adding lanes doesn't help traffic.

Adding an extra conveyor belt to your factory line won't help you process materials any faster. You have to add more processing elements, widening the belt lines does absolutely nothing!

As a little nitpick, "extreme pressure" is partially true. We do need "extreme" pressure; not extremely high pressure, but extremely low pressure. We have these series of pumps that are able to remove more and more particles at each step. We have your standard pumps that get rid of most gases, then we have turbomolecular pumps that blow away a lot of the matter that remains, and then we have things like ion pumps, which electrocutes molecules in a vacuum and sucks them out using electric fields. This way, we're able to create better vacuums here on Earth better than Space itself.

And honestly, that's pretty much wizardry to me.

Relevant xkcd.

I mean, pulling it back for a second, what the fuck would an "abstract study" even be about? What, would you publish the results of your thought experiment?

as always, we must look to Cowboy Bebop

If they didn't like metal, why did they get into the car in the first place? The entire chassis is made of metal, they shoulda got back into their wooden cars!

"If I say I'll get something done, I'll get it done. No need to remind me every 6 months about it."

Naive, perhaps, but if a company advertises a service, they better fucking deliver on that service. Sure, I wouldn't store all of my important documents solely on a cloud service either, but let's not victim blame the guy here who paid for a service and was not given that service. Google's Enterprise plan promised unlimited data; whether that's 10 GB or 200 TB, that's not for us nor Google to judge. Unlimited means unlimited. And in an article linked in the OP, even customer service seemed to assure them that it was indeed unlimited, with no cap. And then pulled the rug.

And on top of that, according to the article, Google emailed them saying their account would be in "read-only" mode, as in, they could download the files but not upload any. Which is fine enough-- until Google contacted them saying they were using too much space and their files would all be deleted. Space that, again, was originally unlimited.

Judge the guy all you want, but don't blame him. Fuck Google, full stop.

Calling Devolver Digital the "Cult of the Lamb publisher" is like calling Pixar the "Toy Story 4 creators". It's not untrue, but they're also known for publishing a lot of other things. But I get why they picked this game for the headline, it's in vogue right now.

Firstly, of course they're not paying child support, because being a sovcit requires you to be an insufferable asshole first obviously.

Secondly, I mean, I don't condone shady businesses practices or grifting. But man, whoever running that is an absolute genius. Scammer for sure, and while I hate scammers to my very core, something about scamming these people in particular feels so very poetic. Someone should maybe tell them, but man... this is funny.

ISO 8601 or nothing. Descending order of granularity, keep everything sorted as it should be!

If that ain't the truth. Moved across the state to find work, and obviously my old buddies can't invite me to as many things anymore. But seeing them all on a call together playing video games without even a heads up hurts a smidge.

No, they're oat

tfw half life 1 gets an update before team fortress 2 does

In all seriousness, very excited to hop in and see what's new, I've never had the opportunity to play some of this content.
