This always trips me up. Would the correct way of writing: a cube 256mm to an edge
256³mm³? That feels inelegant.
Do the math myself so 1.67*10⁶mm³? Which seems like I’m asking the reader to simplify what I complicated.
Or 256mm³? That seems true to speech it’s a 256mm cube…
I don’t think Spec ops is spoilers to reveal you’re a bad guy, not in 2026: you play the US, in the Gulf. You play the US doing US imperialism, it doesn’t hide that from you. It’s just later in the game it confronts you with what that really means.
Braid absolutely, but it’s 17yo at this point, any reasonable spoiler policy* has worn off. Meets the criteria, gets you all empathetic for the little shit, Tim, then makes you question it all. I think a first play through is impactful even knowing he’s a villain… It’s not that he’s a villain that is cool, it’s how you find out he’s a villain.
*Except for Outer Wilds the spoiler policy on that is eternal.
Dungeon Keeper.
Destroy all humans.
Spec ops the line.
Braid.
Manhunt.
It depends what you want to do with the art. But an easy answer for me is: the author dies when the author dies. Buy things after they die. Before that: pirate, second hand (I’d reccomend second hand everything though, within limits).
That’s not typically how I want my art though. Knowing what informed the art is interesting to see where it’s supported Vs contradicted in the piece.
Two examples: knowing jk Rowling is bigot then reading HP, well how did we not see it sooner? The series becomes a lot more sinister knowing who wrote it.
In contrast Ender’s game, how is that series written by that man?! It’s about love and the limits of love. It’s about life and the limits of life. Reading the series knowing the person who wrote it is baffling.
In general, knowing the contexts of the piece is interesting to me. Like Saturn Devouring His Son, it was painted directly on the wall of Goya’s house… Why, who paints that directly on the wall of their house?! Wait, Black PaintingS? There’s more?! Not knowing the story of the Black paintings, it’s just an interesting interpretation of a greko-roman myth. But, what hat did Goya see in his past to see that? What did he see in the present to need to materialize it in his dining room? What did he fear for the future?! Fuck.
Not a doctor.
I imagine that if they (top and bottom) drink plenty of water during the day it should be fine.
Do the “toilet for a day” challenge. You surely won’t regret doing the “toilet for a day” challenge.
I actually like this as a decision making tool.
Flip a coin, if the outcome truly doesn’t matter, go with whatever it says. If you’re disappointed with what the coin decided, go with the other one.
Ask, they said white, preferred they would have said blue, you now know you prefer the blue one.
Going into spring/summer that’s ideal, I wanna go places do things. Mid winter, I’m feature creeping till something breaks.
Tea, about 6 pints a day, my cup holds just over 1 pint 6* a day. I have mini tuocha for home, tea resin for travel, and some curio tea for variety.
I have caffeine pills in the car, but I’ve never used them. As for caffeine amount I dunno… a lot probably.
“Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.” - George Orwell. He has a lot of good writing, I would recommend.
Listen to criticism, if the criticism seems valid react, if it doesn’t move on with your life.
The fact that it was legally mandated is good evidence that it is [necessary].
P1 If X was legally mandated then that is good evidence that X is necessary.
P2 Slavery was legally mandated (in the USA)
C1 There is good evidence slavery is necessary.
P3 [insert other silly/abhorrent thing here: ICE in general, state murder…] was legally mandated.
C2 There is good evidence silly/abhorrent thing is necessary.
Personally I’d reject P1, the law isn’t an arbitrator of mortality, or truth. Due to C2 I’d side eye anyone who says it is.
I quite liked lemmyNSFW for not federating downvotes. Now they’re/we’re/I am on PieFed I’ve been looking for a way to hide downvotes. My engagement can just be reply/upvote/ignore/block/report. I understand why people downvotes, I’m happy you all have them. I’m just not personally interested in them.
The answer is found in capitalism. Why are gamers, who have continually been fucked by capitalism, so blind at seeing the obvious. '80s game crash: capitalism. Day one DLC: capitalism. Micro transactions: capitalism. All the hardware being hoovered up, so software costs more at every level, increasing prices for both hardware and software: capitalism.
