Surely playing as Adeptus Custodes who guard the throne all day would be more boring.

But I feel ya, I would’ve loved some different characters.

And it’s integrated into Archipelago.gg, which means you can randomize the alttp items with other games.

I find this to be largely true, especially of older people, for foreigners who live there. But not to discourage a visit: you are very welcomed as a tourist in most places in Japan, and any Japanese you speak will be appreciated.

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.

Idk where to draw the line with it being illegal for them to sell real copies. Like, what if it’s a really good fake? Are they gonna send out each and every game? They can’t spend $20 making sure a $10 game is legit.

No clue what to do about it honestly

Oh huh, that’s interesting. I’ll definitely have to check that out

If they’re cheap and common games, I don’t think it’s a big deal to have fakes mixed in if it doesn’t bother the buyer either.

Now for more rare stuff, it matters more. Feels like mtg cards, where a certain threshold it should be graded for authenticity and condition

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”

Oh I wasn’t even thinking of it, but for secondary in iron that is probably perfect. Still not gonna be able to continuously anneal or anything due to the massive amount of thermal mass needed, but for the “spot” stuff that sounds perfect

I also have no idea about titanium production and it could easily be useful there

I will say, from my time being a process engineer in metals:

-Everything runs 24/7 cuz the equipment is so expensive and there’s always too much demand

-furnaces are gas, probably too hot to reach in a reasonable space with electricity

Totally agree with storing temperature/water locally as a battery, especially at home levels

So I had shoulder surgery a few weeks ago. I spent a lot of one-handed time on the couch. Played some Shapez 2 with a mouse on the couch via the deck, I played some the Witness (goofily with one hand on my xbox controller), some Slay the Spire, and some Stray

Been nice to have the ability to not sit at my computer when it was too uncomfortable

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

I agree in the same way there is Nazi paraphernalia/propaganda in museums today. If we don’t teach about and denounce traitors we’ll be sure to see more. These statues were used a century later to brainwash people into advocating for terrorism.

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

Hey that’s our train of thought! Shopping now and it seems like a great contender.

I feel that. It’s got some non-peaceful elements, maybe the 1.6 release is the excuse you need to try it out!

It’s great, I’d really recommend if you like city builders, dystopian settings, and great music/ambiance

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”
