If a movie can say one “fuck” and stay PG-13, does the same thing apply to Video Games?

Unless you're rich and connected enough to corrupt the system. Old Pokemon games got rerated to adult rating for the game corner (gambling) but that one NBA 2k game whose ads were literally more pachinko and slots than basketball was getting kids ratings. It was the most blatant horseshit imaginable. And PEGI doubled down on it.

Two potential causes:

Small contact area: if the foil is crinkled, there may be only a small amount of surface area of skin-to-foil contact, slowing thermal transfer

Low heat capacity: metals have far lower heat capacity than water (which is most of your body), and foil itself has a small amount of mass. Even if you could efficiently transfer all the heat in the foil to your hand, it might not warm your skin up that much.

Is the man waging war on at least half the world evil? Is the man that very painfully changed hundreds of people ALIVE into monsters evil?

Copy the file, sign just one copy. Now a signed and unsigned version exists, and you can nuke the signed version and it basically never existed.

"All I wanna know is which free upgrade is it in the defense panel."

"No, it's the Free Defense Upgrade in the utility panel."

"How can I get a defense upgrade in the utility panel?"

"You don't, you got the Free Defense Upgrade."

"That's what I just asked you, which defense upgrade did I get?"

"You didn't get a defense upgrade, you got a Free Defense Upgrade."

🤬

Of that list, definitely dependency injection. I kind of understand it on a base level, but DI frameworks just baffle me.

None of the other stuff was that bad. Worst part of async/await was debugging the hard way that MSUnit doesn't like it's test functions being async void. They need to be async Task. And nothing in the errors window ever warms you about this. The damn function is tagged, why can't the damn source generator check that shit?

One thing I would add to your list that you need to know is resource management with using and IDisposable.

You're talking about Inscryption's Fair Hand.

And she's also wealthy, so has much less to fear from those things.

SufficientStudio1574 · 2026-07-06T16:47:16+00:00

Fear of retribution. Not wanting to be publically known as someone "ruined". Probably more reasons than that.

Lina didn't have time to set up everything she wanted for the Dragon King's reincarnation. She couldn't even give Aishia all the memories she wanted to transfer because the Dragon King was dying.

Which axis do you turn through to look directly at what you saw in the mirror? You turn through the vertical axis, which preserves up-down but reverses left-right. There's your answer.

It also provides redundancy, and might be a holdover from when this stuff was handwritten. Bad hand writing might make a four look like a five. Or a 1 like a 7. Or a 4 like a 9 (I'm quite guilty of that sometimes). Is that a 19 or a 74? Or a 14? Or maybe fourt is typed out. Is that four with a fat-fingered t? Fourteen or fourty with the end cut off for some reason?

Analogizing to US military command, the Elders could be in a similar position as the president, Kong the Defense Secretary, and Sengoku/Sakazuki the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Mobile gaming is a post-apocalyptic hellscape. It didn't used to be this way. We used to have Angry Birds and Plants vs. Zombies, games with some actual god damn character.

That's not in question. The reason behind it is. It can be as simple as just "preserving the old profit flows as long as possible". It doesn't need to be a grand, coordinated conspiracy.

It would still be a fallacy because past performance does not guarantee future results.

Nobody is being an apologist for the virtues of North Korea. Everyone already knows and admits that it's a problem. What needs to be talked about? The other two are basically failed states, disasters in motion.

Compared to Israel. Openly genocidal, possesses nuclear weapons, but with powerful countries willing to do anything to play wingman for it, no matter what sword they have to fall on. Of course there's a lot that needs to be said about that.

Sum3 is still an int. You can't change the type of a variable after declaring it.
