You leave the fediverse out of this

If they got it right, then at least the bio-chemical computers producing their minds seem to able to handle ‘non-algorithmic’ understanding.

make it so that games aren’t functionally over and therefore boring by the halfway point

The way I ‘fix’ this is to crank the difficulty so I’m behind for as long as possible while still having a chance of winning in the late eras. I loose plenty of late games, but that’s what makes it an honest challenge.

I think a lot of people are used to playing with settings that allow them to comfortably win as long as they survive the early game.

Same plan. Also, modding maturity is important. I think I’m running 30+ mods in Civ VI

Yes, it’s fake. Cats hate it and instantly back up when something is on their face. In this picture you can see the whiskers somehow poking through the pancake on the right. It’s a very basic photoshop.

If you switch your view from the level of the organism to the level of the gene, genes do have backups everywhere. You could call every instance of a gene in every organism a ‘backup’ of the others.

As individual organisms, we also tend to look at genes and evolution from the perspectives of individuals. But for genes already established in a population, preserving any single genome (carried by a single individual) isn’t very important. Genes work instead to increase their overall frequency throughout the population.

So to adapt the technological metaphor, maybe you’re better off looking at the entire gene pool as your system instead of the organism.

lol, good question

Love 'em or hate 'em, Apple

Sir, this is a Lemmy

Are homonyms/homophones more common in English? As a non-native speaker, I remember the vowel shift causing more trouble at first. Also, rules for shortening/combining words can be tricky. They’re/their is the obvious example. But then there’s won’t, where the apostrophe doesn’t simply substitute a letter in two words that work independently. And it’s/its is very confusing, as possessive is normally also marked with 's. Is/are is a whole new thing if your native language doesn’t distinguish.

For those unfamiliar

Some mechanics are just subjectively annoying, especially in PvE. Enemies healing themselves is one. Enemies stunning the player is another. In MY amazing dev company we would have none of that.

Born to earn pistach. Forced to touch purple.

I would be more interested in a budget-camera option if it meant price reduction and no bump. If that were also the one not solely marketed in the hands of 22-year-old fashionistas, all the better.

I’m glad you had progress! Notice I’m not the one who originally wrote about actually having a “shutdown”. My comment is about how someone’s choice of words can sabotage their point, depending on the listener’s situation. It is not encouragement to avoid challenging things.

It seems like you think I’m the same person as the one with the “shutdown”. I’m a different person, pointing out clues to how your phrasing was sabotaging your own point. Now you’re just being demeaning – so I won’t continue.

When you’re talking to someone who’s expressing a great deal of anxiety (“emergency shutdown”), phrases like “it’s not that hard” and “it’s obvious” become “if you struggle with this, you’re an idiot”.

Razer is great at covering the exact feature-set I want in a product. Fell for it with the Viper Ultimate and got a creaky, grainy button feel and a rubber coating that quickly wore down and felt slimy. Then I bit the bullet with the Barracuda headset, which went straight back. The thing was bulky, hollow, creaky, flimsy, had coil whine, lost audio after idling… I keep telling myself to not fall for it, and then I’m in the market for something, and some Razer product just seems to tick the boxes. NEVER AGAIN!(?)

That is indeed the joke.
