Setting aside that the industry professionals definitely count it as current gen for sales metrics, that’s fuckin, irrelevant when the statement is about all three of last gen, current gen, and next gen. Whichever one you want to call the Switch part of, it’s the best selling console of that generation, so the statement that AMD sold chips the best selling console of that generation is false. Unless you want to make the claim the Switch is from 2006, they are incorrect.
How can the switch be a different console from last gen, current gen, and next gen? Those are literally the only generations it could be considered part of.
it’s also a great win for AMD, in general, to provide the hardware behind the two biggest consoles on the market for two consecutive (and a third upcoming) console generations.
Doesn’t the Switch have as much market share as the other two combined?
The “this video game trend” they’re referring to is the live service model.
Literally, they didn’t have to make this clickbait, people will still watch “All the ways the live service model is damaging the single-player experience”.
What are you talking about? They show the headphone battery being replaced in the same image as the case. It’s a little button cell that hinges out.
No, you see, you just get every citizen to pay a little bit into the bridge, and then everyone can use it. Maybe we put some of that money aside and establish a group of people to care for the bridge, upkeep and whatnot. It wouldn’t be fair to just pick them arbitrarily, so we should probably hold some kind of vote. And, well, I guess the money will run out, so maybe we take a little more from everyone every year, just to keep it in good shape
Huh? That sounds like what? Gov–
Oh fuck wait shit i mean DONT TREAD ON ME
assuming the combination doesn’t have multiple actions
That’s rookie stuff
By that metric, all magic is dunamancy.
Yeah, that’s the other thing that bugs me about Dunamancy, that it’s actually four separate schools of magic in a trenchcoat. Dunamancy covers time magic, gravity magic, luck magic, and, for lack of a better name, quantum-alternate-universe magic. Because in the Critical Role setting those are the same thing, or something? So while not every spell needs to be reflavoured, those that do need individual consideration.
Hot take: I can’t stand the word “dunamancy”. I don’t care for critical role, so maybe it’s justified somehow (or maybe just if someone I liked said it a lot I’d learn to let it go), but as it is, it hate it. It’s not duna/dyna- (physical force or potential energy) it’s not a -mancy (a form of divination), and it sounds like a cringelord teenager’s invented name for sand magic. Plus now that it’s canonized, I have to argue with every group I run for that my setting doesn’t subscribe to the many-worlds theory and that is not an acceptable flavour for their magic in my game.
Anyway to answer the question, I once saw a class entirely reflavoured from top to bottom as a Chronomancer. You probably think it was a wizard or a warlock or something, but no, it was the Battle Master Fighter.
Weapon/armour proficiency and extra ASIs were because they did extra training in a personal timeloop. Second Wind was a short personal rewind, Action Surge was a personal fast-forward. Most of their maneuvers were various manipulations of time; rewinding themself to parry, slowing the enemy for precision strike, looping themself for feinting strike, rewinding an ally for rally.
I don’t remember all the flavour, but god dang it was cool.
I played it too as a kid. Yep! Totally unrelated, just convergent evolution. The Japanese armed forces are called the JSDF; Japan’s Self-Defense Force (because after WWII, part of their surrender included agreeing to disband their army, so they instead created a Self-Defense Force that’s deeefinitely not an army). So clearly, the guys who protect the whole Earth are the Earth Defense Force!
Chikyuu Boueigun, or Earth Defense Force, is a series of low-budget horde shooters developed by Sandlot and published by D3 Publisher. In each game, the earth has been invaded by aliens, who deploy such B-movie tropes as giant insects, flying saucers, huge combat robots, giant green men, and godzillas against humanity. In most games, you play a normal infantryman. In 4.1 and 5, you can choose between normal infantryman, a slow-but-strong power-armour soldier, a fast-but-fragile jetpack girl, or the guy who calls in airstrikes. In any case, you acquire new and stronger weapons in a sort of “gacha” system; slain enemies occasionally drop crates that contain one random weapon, and you won’t find out what it is until the mission ends. There’s a lot of weapon variety, and you choose 2 weapons to bring with you into each mission, so there’s some good fun to be had exploring for synergistic loadouts.
The story is absurd, hammy B-movie fare, written and dubbed with a lot of heart. Most of the games are 4-player coop. It’s one of my favourite serieses of all time. I’d recommend starting at 5, because it’s available on Steam, it has the most QoL (it’s one of those series where each new game feels like the previous game, just… more and better) and they reboot the chronology every odd game anyway so you’re not missing out on anything much. And also because it has aliens who look exactly like humans! 🐸
Yeah, that would work assuming nobody has competing preferences, nobody feels jealousy, and especilaly as long as the third person has no preference for the first apple. It’s servicable for this riddle.
“Equal” has a slightly different meaning in fair division problems. It doesn’t mean “the exact same quantity of matter”, so not being able to judge exactly 1/3 of the apple doesn’t super matter (though your seed problem can be solved by cutting diagonally through the apples rather than along one side), but rather, that each person gets a portion they value at least as much as the others; maybe some people are willing to take a smaller piece if it means they have no seeds, maybe some people are going to peel their piece so they care more about having the largest internal volume, maybe some people plan to plant the seeds and so they actually value them, maybe some people only care about having the biggest piece.
In practice, for three people this can take as few as 2 cuts or as many as 6; since there’s two apples and we can do 2 cuts with one stroke here, there is a fair division solution, but it only works if things go perfectly:
The first person cuts the apples into 3 shares they think are of equal value (perhaps they hate apple cores, so they cut one side off both as above)
The second person points out which share(s) they think are the best
The third person takes the share they consider to be most valuable
The second person takes the share they consider to be most valuable
The first person takes the remaining share, which, since they cut, they must consider equal to the other two.
If the second person doesn’t think at least two shares are of equal value, the problem becomes impossible to resolve without more knifeplay.
Good
Let’s just make all wars robots fighting robots, and nobody has to get killed.
More like cope pilot.
I didn’t get it, and I’m 29 from Canada
That’s probably true, but perfect can’t be the enemy of good. Getting everyone who currently uses the worst method (a single global password) to use a better method means that better method has to be easier than that, and as things lie right now, most security researchers agree that the method most likely to succeed is removing roadblocks, both client-side and server-side, to make password mangers even easier and more secure (whether you want to store it locally or not is really up to you, and again, it is already an option). We’re not talking about people who already try to stay secure, or care about the exact details. You and I already know we care about security and do our best, presumably. The crucial thing is to onramp Bob Q. Public, the middle manager whose password on everything is rover73 because he loves his dog, and any solution more complicated than remembering one password and clicking one button is going to be too much change for him to get around to doing it
Okay, I’m glad you have a system, but it’s not really relevant? I didn’t say you should use a password manager. I said it’s good for the majority of people who can only remember one or two passwords.
The one that kills me is the PC release of Project Diva. Denuvo usually gets pulled after a year or so, because it’s not a one-time purchase for the publisher, they charge a recurring license fee. But for some ungodly reason, SEGA’s decided to keep paying to have it in a rhythm game. For two and a half years, you just… sometimes lose inputs or miss a note you should’ve hit, because Denuvo decided you’re gonna stutter just there.
