Algorithms are fine when an algorithm is open, clear and optional. The default sort for many apps/UI is “Active”, that’s an algorithm. It may be a simple one, but it’s an algorithm.

I know that’s a direct quote from the developer, but I disagree that is what actually happened.

The Animal Well journey began in two phases, Basso says: a quick stab at a Metroidvania-styled prototype in 2012, and a bespoke engine project that he took more seriously, which he began coding alone in 2014 during his day job’s off hours.

It was 2017, and some of the design ideas from his 2012 Metroidvania lark had continued pulling on him, so Basso “wrote off” his 3D engine as “a learning experience” and started anew with 2D search action as a priority.

It seems clear to me the prototype did more heavy lifting than he’s giving credit. He clearly had an established vision beginning with the prototype. He spent three years thinking 3D was the best way to achieve that goal, but that goal was clearly based on the prototype. At some point it was clear that 3D was drifting away from the core, so the switch to 2D and a renewed focus was the answer.

It’s also clear that they had a distinct art style in mind from the start.

For his new game, he wanted pixels to scale perfectly to a variety of common screen resolutions, along with visual effects that meshed well with his integer-scaled pixel art.

And that existing engines couldn’t meet that distinct art style.

That home-brew engine is what gives the game its unique look and can allow for unique game elements, but that initial prototype was clearly the guide.

Honestly it’s not just artists. Most people aren’t working their dream job. I’m doesn’t mean you don’t like your job, but if your dream job paid more, or had more availability, or more security, or whatever it is you’d probably be doing that. Luckily actors typically only have a given job for a few months a year, so they have more flexibility (which is also a risk if you don’t have steady work.)

Which button is the retaliate button?

My only regret.

Don’t worry, I got the actual match.

It’s not polite, it’s calling him out. Trump will say/lie about anything. At one point Trump said exactly this. He didn’t mean it, he just said some shit.

Bernie is repeating his own words because occasionally Trump says something good without any intent to follow up.

So Bernie is taking him at his word. He knows Trump will never do it, but if he can call the hypocrite out and trick him into agreeing, why not?

To want to talk about 4D Chess? There it is.

Debian Testing. It isn’t “recommended” but it works fine.

Obviously if you want AUR you need an Arch variant, in which case just pick Arch.

Edit: I needed the why, it’s up to date enough for me and I know apt well.

We also have the hanging Namor storyline. Is there someone Namor could be fighting that requires teaming up with Wakanda? Or someone Wakanda could be fighting that requires teaming up with Namor?

Right now the two nations are at peace, but only barely.

If someone can cause problems for them both it’s a good reason to have them form a more permanent union. Depending how Captain America: Brave New World goes, since it seems to have a focus on the Celestial in the ocean, that might give them something in common to look at. Namor focused on the ocean, and Wakanda focused on Vibranium vs Adamantium.

Adding to that I think a future T’Challa/Killmonger being seen as a leader, but providing the wrong message could be interesting. Maybe they’ve already been through this storyline, but made the wrong choice. Not to say they made the story choice, just one that doesn’t work in this universe. Assuming the wrong thing. Or going down a track that only leads to a poor victory.

Damn. I assumed you could just pay to win. I’m pretty sure white goes first.

Just pick a religion that has respawns, duh.

Sure, we’re getting Blade someday. But are we getting Mahershala Ali as Blade? I’m confident they can find someone to play Blade and that person will do great. But Mahershala Ali is who I want to see and I don’t know how long he’ll wait around.

It looks like Denzel is getting ready to retire, so a villain role makes more sense.

Also after Secret Wars they can probably just have any character appear, trying to figure out where they fit in.

He could also show up as an old man Black Panther, either T’Challa or reformed Killmonger, depending on the story they want to tell.

Trump will just take no responsibility. He’ll blame RFK Jr for all the things that go wrong. Maybe he’ll eventually get fired but at that point the damage will already be done. Trump will just say “Ah, he screwed me, I would have done the exact same thing but it would have worked, I’m a smart guy, I’ll fix it or appoint someone else to fix it.” And then it won’t be fixed.

So if RFK Jr. is smart he’ll just do a little bit of damage over time. Alternatively if there is a ton of chaos on day 1, then just add to the chaos. People can only be angry at so many things at one time.

The laugh he makes when practicing stabbin’ is easily my favorite. Anytime I hold a knife I get in a few practice stabs and cackle.

Along the bottom right you’ll see West P[alm] Beach. That’s where Mar-a-lago is.

Now by 2075 Trump will be dead, as will likely all of his children except the youngest ones like Baron who will be roughly Trump’s current age.

This is also why many “current generation” folks don’t care about climate change. They will not be alive to see it, since people just don’t live that long.

Basically none of those you hope will suffer the consequences of their actions will.

I agree. The overarching plot from season 1 worked well, but season 2 just couldn’t put it together. I’m not even sure the show needs an overarching plot. This season it looks like we’re going to meet other watchers so I’ll be curious to see how that works.

Looking around online, further rumors seem to lean towards it being a Federation origin film.

That would put us in ENT era, but I don’t see them following the existing canon. Maybe following a non-Enterprise ship to recruit an early but non-founding planet. The origin in this case being about how the Federation first expanded.

The other option could be picking up right after First Contact. How mankind adapts to learning about the Vulcans.

I just don’t see either of those films getting greenlit.
