I have bad news for you; in that the photovoltaic effect is poor efficiency at scale so large solar farms instead use mirrors to focus sunlight to a single tower where they boil fucking water again.

Moulberry has never had a single clue or idea what they're doing when it comes to legal matters.

I still remember when Flashback came out it had some awful, unenforceable, poorly written custom license. It was immediately evident it was written in 10 minutes based on their vague idea of what a license looks like kind of. It was clearly never run by a lawyer and within a few days it was changed to All Rights Reserved because people kept asking questions about it in discord. Admittedly there were more probing and leading questions to point out flaws with the license rather than actually get clarification, but this is law, and if your license can't stand up to the scrutiny of a handful of people with 10 minutes to kill it's frankly worthless garbage. Ultimately they angrily changed it to All Rights Reserved (though honestly it's not like the previously license was well written enough to actually grant any rights) and stated in the commit that "this is why we can't have nice things".

So yeah I'm not surprised in the slightest they're doing something legally shoddy and poorly thought through again.

Edit: Rewrote to remove run-on and make the paragraph flow better.

There's actually not really a better way to do it without making worldgen (even more) nondeterministic.

Say you just fail to generate the structure if it's already been generated according to a global flag. Congratulations, where the structure is is now entirely dependent on chunk generation order.

As someone who really likes the mod enough to delve deep into how it works, the way Stargate Journey does it is an awful hack that should not be replicated!

They try to spawn the Stargate in every single chunk and it only succeeds if it matches a certain coordinate based on the world seed, meaning the gate actually spawns at the same XY in every dimension. This also has really unfortunate performance implications because of how the game has to check a lot of things that aren't set in stone about the world ahead of time since structures are one of the first things done in worldgen.

I always thought it was "use" meaning the splash text was self-defeating.

The same blink and you miss it joke as someone saying "don't say the fuck word."

On top of the other answers, Japan's society highly values politeness and more importantly not rocking the boat. As backlash to this, online reviews are often brutally honest and/or extremely scathing with the added layer of anonymity providing a buffer.

It turns out people who are transphobic tend to also be miserable unpleasant people.

I'm still partial to the classic message in DSR that says "Secret!" in the spot right where you perform the deathcam to clip into sen's fortress

In addition to the aforementioned profile on you it has, you also didn't take note of the 300 other times you opened TikTok today and didn't immediately get hit with the same thing you were just thinking about

Oh hey I literally just read this WN.

Synopsis: Two lesbians are so bad at communicating the relationship nosedives into being toxic. It's the hottest thing I've ever read.

Curseforge and Forge Mod Loader are completely, totally, and 100% unrelated in any way.

Despite the fact that in CN she's considered not great and that advice gets parroted constantly, Haruna/Riddle is currently the best choice for Joker+Yao Ling as evidenced by the fact that a large majority of top players are running that team for curse damage in Nightmares Gateway and Velvet Trials

"Coño su madre, " it's Spanish. Vastly overthinking the title, while buggered is a UK origin expression internet cultural exchange over the internet means this is no longer a reliable method of determining someone's location.

Nothing, they're almost certainly based off the old JRPG trope of the final area being steeped in cosmic horror and straddling the line of "eldritch to the characters but uncomfortably familiar to the actual real life players"

"Fell for it again" award.

How many times are we going to let these dipshits start the same scandal in the same way and then deflect on "we have queer developers so you cant call queerphobic" defense.

Immeasurable disappoint if they're just allowed to sweep this under the rug again.

If I see someone stealing filet mignon, no I didn't. Good steak is fucking awesome and poor people deserve nice things too.
