While diving under the ice in McMurdo Sound, some of the team came across giant Antarctic sea spiders that appeared to be mating. So, they gently collected the animals and transferred them to observation tanks to figure out how the heck these enigmatic creatures procreate.
Rude.
I think from their perspective Tuvok and Neelix weren’t “dead”, which was why they were more inclined to “correct” the situation at hand and save their crewmates while they still had the chance to do so.
Regardless, it’s a fucked up decision, I don’t envy it.
It can be an indicator of post-launch performance. In this case, it performed well at launch but has now stablised like most games do. By my metrics, 30k a day is pretty good at a glance. You’d have to find more actual comparisons to make informed conclusions though, which you sort of find if you go through Forbes’ source which is a quote tweet of an article from GamingBolt ( just link the article lmao):
Cyberpunk 2077 may have seen a major new update and a paid expansion, Phantom Liberty, but that was in September. It’s sitting at 23rd in the most-played games chart on Steam, with a 24-hour peak of 36,246. Starfield is currently in 43rd place behind games like Elden Ring, Valheim, Stardew Valley and Terraria.
There are more paragraphs with the same vibe, with the obvious disclaimer that it’s on game pass too. But there’s a number of other things that would go into an actual performance analysis. e.g, are the “competing” games currently on sale? What other factors affect the current landscape of games played? What do each of these games’ numbers look like in the same time period following their launch?
That’s the kind of data the publishers have access to and do actual analysis on. I think this reporting is just chasing a trend for engagement. 22 - 30k is not bad for a singleplayer game without mod support (yet) which people will pick up, play, and put down. I don’t see anything to indicate it’s “in trouble” (we’d probably have heard by now of internal planning changes at Bethesda if that were the case).
There is no system in the world, religeous or otherwise, safe from the dangers of radicalization.
For those kind of allegations, investigation will take significantly longer than a month.
I hear Godot’s own scripting language is preferable to C# if you’re willing to learn it.
That’s about his theory of Radiant Energy, not lightning strikes.
They is, and has been for a very long time, perfectly valid for singular use.
Most people I’ve encounted do it all the time without noticing between sentences.
Voyager’s Retrospect.
That was a really hard episode to watch in the modern day. It was heart wrenching seeing how the moment it became possible that Seven was wrong about being assaulted, everyone turned on her in a truly vile way :(
It’s one of those episodes where the point is incredibly forced (e.g. they were suspected of taking borg material from her, scan for it maybe?) and the message being “Men can be falsely accused and have their lives ruined” comes across VERY badly in a post #MeToo world when that industry is largely responsible for the kind of abuse it covers.
This sounds very useful, I wonder to what extent federated platforms like ours can make use of it? It sounds as if apps will need to specially deisgned around it, given it presents challenges to traditional moderation of things like DMs between users.
There’s also the simple social factor which gets underestimated. I used to get worked up at work when people would ask questions about stuff I had written documentation about, until I understood that some folk just want that little social connection. They want a person to communicate something to them, whether they’re concsiously aware of it or not.
It’s also fairly common for people to just not be that good at searching for things. You have to word things in specific ways and learn what kind of sources to avoid and ones to trust. So asking people who do can be a huge timesaver.
Or worse, find a way to use “The Final Season” thematically in the narrative to retroactively look like they planned it all along (unless this is already explicit in the manga).
Either way, their use of “parts” since Season 3 has been super annoying and misleading. I hope nobody pulls this shit again.
I’d say it’s a matter of preference than anything “next-gen”. I really liked using a hybrid approach with the Steam Controller a few years back for some third person games with archery, but it has its own drawbacks and complexities so I could see why people would prefer the simplicity of the good ol’ analogue stick.
