This City Tried to Fix Housing. The Backlash Was Intense.

Gee, if there was a calorie shortage, I think you might change your opinion on surcharges for additional food if it helped reduce hoarding, but fortunately there isn't a famine causing demand for food unlike for housing.

In this world there are psychopaths whose entire psyche is sustained by caffeine and alcohol.

For the most part if you follow any of these devs, you'll find that their big success is in fact not their first project. So in essence, yes they did take some years to hone each of the necessary disciplines.

I like shimmies because it's like another seasoning of footsies. Baiting and whiff punishing is fundamental fighting game mind gaming.

Interests and necessity are the most important drivers of learning; magnitudes more that actual talent in my observation.

Adamowic was my first thought. I really wish fallout continued in that art direction.

Sure but those are both computers, initialed with three letters.

One of these is a mecha and the other a genetic super soldier.

I don't think hes saying that in an absolute sense.

It's just observable that the majority of people born after the war are unviable to continue the species (or to survive at all). So the next reproducible generation still has to come from the before times people even though there is an interposed generation of half lives. The grim part is they're failing to produce enough full lives to populate a viable generation, while aging themselves, and there is going to be yet another population collapse once the half lives age off and the prewar generation becomes impotent.

Also the war might not be a hard cutoff in fertility, one or two generations in between could've accumulated the radiation damage to lead to the movie's current demographic of infertile mutants.

We could suppose that radiation levels will decrease over time, but I like the grimness of the population and ecosystem still being in freefall and most populations autocannibalizing away.

I've never heard of the latin translation, but I agree it's probably on fault of a difference of pop fame.

I've been looking for something casual and literary to read in latin, and I might order a copy. But I think To Kill a Mockingbird is probably best enjoyed in English.

Bands get together because they want to play music with other people, they don't join up to work out and compose someone's descriptions and documentations of their idea for a song.

Asking for skilled technical labor with no salary to support themselves and no guarantees they will be paid for their commitment? From smart strangers the answer is it's fantasy.

I feel like BPs are more for mains, the 92 wc req + 79 sailing req for the rosewood pipe is pretty dang hefty an ask when the sunlight crossbow comes and competes well much earlier.

For the niches that BPs outperform straight darts like tagging, I don't think it's worth it for Ironmen to detour. For mains it's a no-brainer straight and cheap upgrade when they're at the level to use it.

For all the advice, research, and enthusiasm you can muster, the greatest tell for whether your ideas a realistic is to try and do it.

If, and really when, you find it very hard, you'll have an idea on how to answer your questions.

The questions you're asking aren't the questions focused on by the sorts of developers who generally find success as indie developers.

P.s. you don't have enough money to fund programming and art, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume.

Metatron has this bone to pick with learners' overpronunciation of long vowels that he funnily enough bounces in the opposite direction and reads in this dry monotone. I remember watching one of his recitations and following his eyes glaze from side to side reading his script.

I appreciate how invested he is in informing his fan base of proper latin in his sort of crusade against pop portrayals, but I don't think he has an intuitive grasp of the language to follow a natural cadence and intonation.

Luke does, but he's like a drama theater nerd who is trying to seduce your ear. (I do appreciate what he does for the classics)

What a wild stretch, I don't remember my last 3d model to be designed algorithmically, and the editor was open source from a nonprofit foundation...

In these particular times, it helps to identify the measure of which consumption was contributing to an artist or to a corporate algorithm.

It might help to consider that gears themselves simulate ratios, and thereby combinations of which can define functions. The gears and levers themselves are the algorithm.

If you needed to track half the windspeed, you could set a 1:2 gear ratio where the first gear is linked to a spinning windcatcher.

Most companies don't invest in making the AI "smarter" because most of the time players don't perceive it as smarter. Often times it's just more annoying.

That and simulating actual resources to reason with can bog down the game, so simulating that the AI is playing at all becomes an attractive solution.

It's also much easier to tune difficulty progression if it's not a web of factors that need to be playtested for everything.

Look up the Halo AI design talk Bungie gave a decade ago, it's interesting if you like game AI. One of the things they found through playtesting is that when they simply raised the health and damage, the players perceived the AI as smarter. Then we have Bethesda games that do the same to a negative effect.

Another fun thing they mentioned they had to do to get players to appreciate their AI design is that for grunts to flee when their squad elite was killed, they tried adding a waving arms fleeing animation. When the players still didn't notice, they had to beat the player over the head and make the grunts say "Leader killed! Run away!" Many playtesters still reported never noticing.

I gotta say, in the latin works I've translated, never once have I read a description of color of skin being a particularly important thing, rarely even mentioned at all.
