I dislike Sweeny et al more than most, but do you boycott all UE games?

Brother it's on other platforms... What's your complaint? It's a UE5 game 🧐

After running some Dungeon World I have little interest in ever playing or running d&d again. It's so much better for organic storytelling, and combat is much less of a slog.

Bernie and AOC are progressives, sure, but the Dems as a monolith are objectively not leftist in the slightest. They're just more left than the Republicans. Even if they have moved left, they're still center-right by any reasonable metric. Note that I said nothing about the direction they're moving.

I mean, it's both. Republicans are driven away from Trump because he's obviously a grifter to anyone with a room temperature IQ, but also leftists don't have any other option but the center-right Democrats. If we had a healthy spread of parties (enabled by ranked choice voting and the abolition of the electoral college) there is no way you'd see the Cheneys voting in the same bloc with anyone even remotely left.

We got a winner here

Oh, so the main reason why it's so good?

Yeah all of the times I see Rust being described as "harder to learn" than C I just shake my head. It's like saying that it's easier to just fall off the cliff at the Grand Canyon instead of taking the path down. Any additional difficulty is because the language forces you to understand memory and pointers properly, instead of just letting you fuck around and find out.

I mean, I'm assuming that because that's what he's saying in the text.

That's not what the post is about, it's entirely about the android TV app. I assume they already built the functionally to generate the alarm signal (since it's the entire raison d'etre for the company based on the name).

Good God I hate linkedin types. Imagine thinking writing an app that literally just displays a single notification is worthy of making a whole post about. They basically wrote a Hello World app for Android TV. And I'm sure they got paid like 40k by some poor school district to do so.

Dawg, it is a direct quote from the Forbes article. Read it again I guess?
