I make things with computers. Preferably artsy things, but I also like to work on random scripts and pipelines. I like D&D & video games, but don't always have time to play them. I like pet chicken. I watch soccer, especially NWSL & USWNT, as well as some WSL and whatever happens to be on.

I'm pretty sure Superman wasn't born with them. He got his powers from his flyby of earth's yellow sun in the escape pod from Krypton.

But if he had stayed on Krypton, he wouldn't have any powers, so it took an event to activate it, which isn't any different than the other scenarios. Batman was born rich, so he already had the potential to be batman, but it took the murder of his parents to set him on his path. Really Spiderman is the odd one out.

True, true. I guess I was thinking of the spider bite, not the trauma.

Ah, yes, I tried Divinity 2 but forgot about it. I think I personally just don't care for Larian games that much. They're definitely in the right vein of games though, so thanks for the response.

"market reaction suggests that more capital isn’t going to be a viable substitute for a business model anymore."

Time to find the next vague thing that investors can pour trillions into without really knowing what it is or does.

There was a place on Venice beach called Rose's Thai Window which had the best pad Thai. You could get it mild, medium, spicy, or 'Rose spicy', which is how she made it for herself. Whenever we tried to order it Rose spicy, she would flat out tell us no. On the last day the place was open, before she moved back to Thailand, she finally made it for us. I lasted literally 2 bites before I couldn't taste anything anymore, except pain.

I've been thinking about it, and one simple rule would make this sub 100% better: No schadenfreude.

This actually sounds like depression. Being unable to find joy, and then unsuccessfully searching for it in places where you used to find it. I would consider talking to a professional if you can.

Or try Dragon Age Veilguard.

At this point the screenshot thing needs it's own sub

I could see this leading to standardizing and outsourcing multiplayer services, which would be interesting.

That being said, before that happens, as a developer I'd be like: here's a zip file with all of our proprietary stuff ripped out. Have fun spending the next few months getting it to work well. Congratulations, you're now supporting a game that did poorly enough for us to drop it.

But seriously, go sign it. Long term it should be a good thing.

This is a meme? Don't we have other communities to focus on the awfulness of everything?

Most of it comes from declines in teen pregnancy. I see that as a win.

Also, in the 2007-2025 time span where fertility dropped 23%, the US still managed to add 41 million people to its population.

I sleep well at night knowing nobody will steal my thing I don't care about because I don't own any. I just wanted you all to know that.

That's pretty awesome.

Also, reading other comments, holy fuck, y'all don't want good news, y'all want to be miserable. Why even read this sub?

"Chicken safely crosses road"

Comment: I bet the chicken is racist.

I just got a 2nd LCD during the sale. Unfortunately it was broken and I'm still waiting on a replacement. With any luck they'll send me an OLED one instead 😜

Edit: just got the shipping confirmation, so no luck. Also, not getting it until the 29th. 23 days from reporting the issue to getting a replacement 🤬

Oh no, their profit was only $400M. Whatever will they do???
