Seattle Santa brings the gift of games, your bank balance is the cookies and whisky

Yeah I thought I was having internet problems for a moment there

Oh that explains mine then

Wasn’t sure how I clocked an average of nearly 4 sessions a day

Well shit, I’m gonna need another lockdown or something to play everything that’s been announced today

My local area group is pretty much the only thing I remotely use it for and that’s a rarity

I’ve not posted anything about myself in getting close to a decade now

Future publishing is unfortunately circling the drain right now, they recently canned a load of other brands that had been running for decades

Pretty useful for software engineering, particularly helpful in writing a test suite, you still need to actually check the output though ofc

Also made use of it for writing my end of year review to solve the blank page problem, I find it a lot easier to edit down than starting HR stuff like that entirely from scratch

This would make sense if Steam didn’t exist and is arguably the most consumer friendly of the storefronts

And if people weren’t increasingly choosing to not shop in brick & mortar stores anyway. The big high street game retailer in my country has mostly transitioned to being a nerd-culture merch shop rather than somewhere that actually stocks any games other than the Sims, CoD or EAFC.

Huh

I had no idea there were actual rules

Huh, didn’t know I understood German

Edit: oh I just made OP’s joke again

A lot of popular YouTubers use the same couple of libraries too

That would make the site look a lot less popular and tank the share price

Hell, I’m of the opinion that they run some of the bots themselves

They can happen at the same time, but no, they’re entirely independent

Sure things can always go quicker, but this one is at least already on the right trajectory, and luckily that’s the hardest one for a government to influence.

The government should definitely be heavily subsidizing heat pump replacements (then after a while ramping up gas duty as the stick) and bring back the solar panel subsidies though. And yes shove every penny necessary to get HS2 done to completion so we can get started on HS3 and completely disincentivise short haul flights. All the while building as many wind, tidal and solar farms as possible to power it all—bonus points if we can get a surplus Vs our immediate neighbours.

If we’re all dead the money doesn’t matter, so it should be spent on ensuring survival.

That’s really shitty given the expectation set when using a VPN

I was wondering the same, I’ve not had any issues personally

Being comfortable with algebra is kinda essential, however you probably won’t make much use of calculus unless you go into certain parts of the industry such as game development.

Practice makes perfect though, you may suck at maths today, but there’s nothing stopping you from getting better at it if you work at it

This breaks many games

I always find it mad as hell that Americans have to pay tax in the US even if they are living and earning elsewhere

Especially given generally Americans are pretty allergic to reasonable taxation
