I looked up “new Harry Potter” and found that there’s a TV series releasing on HBO later this year. I’m assuming this image references a trailer for the show.

This was not in any way difficult.

You build state-sanctioned dueling arenas, complete with a whole system of paperwork proving consent.

A bacon egg and cheese might work better than BLT.

The only times it would make sense is if the three other tires are already due for a change (very worn/old) or that the other tires are nearly new and a tire shop is offering to buy them off you (big discount from new set), which is unlikely.

I will never understand chunky shoes. When I was young, people at school were picked on for having very big feet, getting called a clown or a t-rex or something.

Now it’s fashionable to wear shoes that are both oversized for your feet, heavier than they need to be, and make your feet look disfigured (not that I have anything against people with disfigured feet). What does having weird shapes on your feet achieve? Especially when the same people wear the same bland outfit-of-the-month as all of their fast fashion friends. Either lean into the avant garde or stay basic. You can’t pick both and pretend it’s cool.

EDIT: Not particularly bashing Elliot here. I don’t like the look but at least it’s mostly cohesive? And definitely on-brand for Elliot’s style.

I agree with you, but… wag your tung?

From what I can tell, the PC in the image is built in the Jonsbo D32 PRO MESH Black, which is listed as “D396×W207×H314mm”. However, the META PCs page says it’s built in the Jonsbo D32 Black, which doesn’t quite exist (the Jonsbo models are PRO Black, PRO MESH Black, and STD Black). Thankfully, they are all the same size and the only differences are the side panel (mesh vs glass) and whether or not it has a moveable spine for variable spacing (PRO vs STD).

Though, the META PCs website should really be more specific in their specs list.

rough writeup at if you’re curious how other dev teams are approaching it.

Ah thank you, I will read " " and tell my peers and colleagues how we’re closing the evaluation gap.

The fix isn’t to write your own five sentence response, it’s to let an LLM write your response for you and post without any proofreading.

Schools teach percentages at the age of 10… ouch.

Man, I didn’t know they didn’t have cars back in the 60s.

I can write a solid 10 page well-researched paper out of a library in two weeks. With the internet, I can write that same paper with even better research in one week. With AI tools, I can write that same paper with better readability, conciseness, and overall editing in a couple days.

The difference is that, despite you knowing how to reach the end goal, someone who doesn’t understand any of what you do could match your output of “a couple days” in 3-4 days’ time. It cheapens the value of actually understanding what you’re talking about. Using LLMs might feel more immediately productive, but in the long term it’s diluting the skill pool, making it harder to distinguish between deep and shallow knowledge, and allowing (the idea of) merit-based priority to land upon those who don’t deserve it more often than it already does (not that I believe our society is largely merit-based anyways).

Sure, the knowledgable can get a lot more done in less time, but the unknowledgable can more easily pretend to be knowledgable, and that technical debt will accumulate heavily over time.

I think peanuts on a buttered piece of toast would be solid. Gotta try it sometime.

I think 1-2-Switch and Labo use it as well, but ultimately the IR sensors are basically unused.

I wonder how much it cost them to include it in every set of joycons, compared to how much they made selling games that use it.

The only good things I have to say about the joycons are that they enable you to play a few 2 player games with only the base set (tablet + 2 joycons), and that I made some money shellswapping/repairing parts for people who didn’t feel confident in messing with the very delicate ribbon cables.

Other than that, they are uncomfortable, fragile, and prone to all sorts of failures. Thw inclusion of HD rumble was a waste of money, as well as the unused infrared sensor.

I think they’re both ends of the argument. Yes, they quoted him directly, and yes, they used single quotations to emphasize the claim.

At least, that’s how I’m seeing it.

GameStop, Walmart, and Target can’t really sell you most PC games… but the games they do sell are tied to a console’s respective storefronts. GoG, itch, and Epic can sell you games they distribute, but Humble and GMG sell keys mostly distributed through Steam.

Not that I don’t agree with the point of your sarcasm. There’s just a bit more nuance than you suggest.

I don’t get it?

I thought it was a speaker grille. But also, there’s no space at the bottom end of the keyboard for a trackpad, so still garbage image generation.

That’s fair. In my perspective, the “go here, do this, shoot that” is a symptom of needing to fill out the gameplay loop without investing heavily into world building or genuine reason, because that’s all being spent on the main story beats. But in some games, that’s all there is to do.

Perhaps you are looking for a game where either:

• the game is very focused on a single narrative, and never lets you waste your time
• the game has very little structure and asks you to create your own fun out of a big world

Sounds like you need games that focus more on the gameplay loop and less on the presentation/story. Like someone else said, indies are kings in this regard.

Unfortunately I’d have a hard time recommending anything because they can be so wildly different in style.
