portable swamp cooler. it leaked and makes your carpet a swamp and maybe cooler. also luggable.

roller-type kitchen knife sharpener. the finer edge sharpener actually dulls the knife more.

tile tracker. it was so big, I didn’t lose it. I also hate the concept because it works like insurance does.

yup, good suggestions.
there’s lots of them apparently.

same reason a painting or drawing is named, i guess.

no. but i try to forgive myself for not taking the opportunity. imo, it is a skill that forms through a lot of interactions. a form of rizz. and to me, it doesn’t come as natural.

yes. but to so as not cause miscommunication problems, maybe keep it to close people who are in the know of what you mean.

and it gets more fun if there’s an alert for an impending amber alert

this reminded me of that feature with lots of articles about its usefulness:

gut bisect

screenfetch?

these combos:

• survival, crafting, roguelike: imagine building a sandcastle in a beach and watching the waves eat it all up. again. and again. and again.

• cinematic, puzzle: aka eye-candy for first minutes, stuck/backseat forever.

• horror, without action: i feel main char is just dumb putting themselves in a compromising situation in the first place.

• sports, managerial: some ai implementations suck. also these are “babysitter” games. be a professional backseater and all that.

having any of these:

• multiplayer: selling a game experience that’s dominantly influenced mostly by other players is not my cup of tea.

• lifestyle: unless that lifestyle is a detective solving mysterious cases, nope.

• jump-and-run: walking simulators, let’s goooo

• “always online”: makes me think it is a phone game. online trackers and data privacy, oh my.

• “escort mission”: technically not a genre, but i haven’t seen one where i finished a stage and i feel proud of myself.

merriam-webster has something on the lower part of the page.

it seems very close to what others have said: dork is the generally awkward fellow. nerd is the hobbyist who sacrificed socializing to the art. geek are the nerds with some niche circle.

why go for RAMs when the constitution says ARMs…

and no more bits or bytes too, double bytes small or quadbytes regular size all the way.

• kilo bytes is a grand

• mega bytes is a venti

• giga bytes is a grand venti

• terabytes is a doble venti

really large amounts of ARM is a ton

game.Release().then(ninjaNFTandMTXDLC);

are you feeling it Mr. Crabs?

this reminded me of the clock girls story, “radium girls”, I think.

but since bioluminescence is powered differently, it’s a way better approach than artificial splashes of paint.

for the ones missing the marvelous HTML, I gotchu bro:

go, go product dangers!

…Mighty morphin’ product dangers~

gentoo takes a long time. but currently they started shipping out binaries – and with a more recent architecture too (x86-64-p2 or - p4) which helps a lot as compared to building your own Libre office.

they got good guides as well. I got to use one for troubleshooting even if I use a diff distro.

this could be its own twilight zone episode

fuck

whoever put that "reject all"s are mandatory should be getting praised.

it would suck to individually reject those 797 “partners”.

Thank you very much! These answers are very insightful.

I think these points brought the point home on why some of their decisions seem absurd for me:

ads are common in mobile games and mobile games are trying to sell to people already playing mobile games

Once they’ve peaked, they’ve “served their purpose” in the companies eyes.

On top of that, by the time the game comes out, people likely won’t remember the ad, and they very likely won’t remember it was a bait.

mobile player pool is gargantuan
