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.

AB tech has shelter available (near mission hospital), 88.1 has updates at 10 and 4 every day, i26 to the south is the only way in and out for civilians now. Stay safe everyone

Hi, someone from Asheville checking in. Absolutely devastating here, much like Erwin up the road.

I’ve never been in a hurricane before this but it was absolutely insane. We’re so far inland, and so typically climate insulated. No one expected nearly this and it quickly overwhelmed everything we have. Just got soke cell back, I’ve heard potentially weeks for power for some and same on water.

Love your write up. I feel similarly, and many many randomizer runs (Archipelago.gg is great for it), speedruns, and classic playthroughs later I still find the atmosphere and music incredible

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

Ah that could be. Either way, $23 isn’t the max

It reads like the minimum went from $18 to $23. So the minimum is up from $18, to $23.

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.

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

That’s a great article. I like the answer to the 90 tick marks:

“I bet I just put my compass down and kicked every 4 degrees”

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”

He never had much of a chin, but it seems his photos when he’s older it got much worse

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

I saw Sleep Token this year and I think it overtook Rammstein as a show.

They didn’t say a word, just played 1.5-2 hours of music back to back and then left. Incredible lights, incredible precision, and all business

Also non Euclidian! Hexagons (the bestagons) also tesselate and fix that problem nicely

Heck yeah, I’ll try my best!

So on a euclidian chess board, moving your king one space left would be 1 space, one space up would be 1 space, and one space diagonally would be √2 spaces (some simple trig gets us there).

Chess however, does not obey the laws of Euclidian geometry nor does its physical representation show us things to scale. A king’s move diagonally is the same amount of space as a move side to side, 1 space.

It’s silly, because spaces weren’t directly supposed to represent distance or anything, but it’s funny that it works out this way

I always use Chess boards to describe non-Euclidean spaces when I “need” to (aka when I get even a narrow chance to)
