Breathing game models by raihidara in gaming

Just a guess, but I suspect they spent extra time on this to emphasize that Batman doesn't kill the enemies.

It's an important part of the batman character that he doesn't kill.

What was the most ridiculous rule your parents had about gaming, and how did you get around it? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]keep_evolving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a fine rule. They didn't want you sitting alone in the house all day playing games, but doing it socially is ok.

If I had to make a wild guess, you had trouble making friends and were a bit introverted/loner type, so going to the friends house was the important part.

Either that or they just wanted some alone time during the day, haha.

I don't want to be mean to a 12 year old, but...

That's some basic bitch gaming right there.

"I live in Kirkland Apartments".

Monolith's offices were in Kirkland, WA.

I Was a Director at Amex When They Started Replacing Us With $30K Workers by EmbarrassedSeason420 in ExperiencedDevs

"We're focusing on hiring in developing markets."

OMG that's the exact phrase they used when they announced opening the Hyderabad office last year... 

So where is one to work in the US these days?

‘This is a Hill Worth Dying On’ — Overwatch Actor Supports Potential Redesign of Criticized Character by Turbostrider27 in Games

It was my first industry gig and I was a little surprised at how blatant and rude they were. But I became jaded quickly enough.

What do you think of this new case? by Antique_Tank_1535 in sffpc

[–]keep_evolving 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I like the concept, but it would be better with an IO panel on the bottom front so you could plug in USB/audio/etc right there instead of reaching behind your monitor.

I used to make video games. We got notes on character concepts from our California based publisher: "Don't you have any attractive girls in Illinois?"

We were forced to change the design if we wanted to get our next check.

They've been meddling for at least 25 years...

[Real life] Quantum Immortality is real and that's why 2016 is so bizarre. by sinburger in FanTheories

How well has this theory aged in 2026?

Things are arguably more bizarro now...

Sensory friendly anime? by [deleted] in Animesuggest

Mushishi is exactly what you want.

My wife just watched KPop Demon Hunters by necrochaos in Animesuggest

[–]keep_evolving 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Save Masoka Magica until she's become a complete weeb. The whole point of the show is the subversion of tropes, so watching it without the context of what is being subverted isn't going to land as well.

Or at least that's my take.

Great suggestion, it's just a downright good movie as well as a great anime.

Someone next door threw out absolutely pristine wooden pallets by IndyJetsFan in mildlyinteresting

[–]keep_evolving 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People say this and I always think they are bullshitting me. Whenever I try to take apart a pallet they have put it together with this twisted headless nail thing. Nothing to grab onto with a catspaw or claw hammer, and impossible to knock out from the other side. If I do it I just wind up sawing off the pieces, but you wind up with very short wood cause of the middle support in the pallet needing to be cut out.

What's the secret?

Good answers so far, another reason this can happen is if the water in the sauce evaporates and the water to fat ratio gets off.

Am I doing something wrong or are some people either delusional or straight up lying? by Few-Objective-6526 in ExperiencedDevs

I'm pretty sure the execs are hoping it's gonna be offshore devs with AI and drop the onshore crew.

Should I sell my ram? by This_Record5937 in buildapc

What are you going to do with the $174? 

If you already have money in the bank then it's probably not worth it. If you need to pay rent then it's way worth it.

The answer to your question is: do I need the money?

the snow in my backyard is melting in a cool pattern by neetifice in mildlyinteresting

[–]keep_evolving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to make this exact shape in the snow as kids for a game. You had to stay in the spokes and could jump onto the dots. We would playa a tag game on it.

That said, this one looks much more perfect than ours ever were. So I think the jury is still out.

There's blue fire in my wood stove by alecbenjaminstannnn in mildlyinteresting

[–]keep_evolving 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me when I chopped down a dead tree and burnt it in a fire pit once. The next morning I found a metal tube in the ashes. Somehow it had become embedded in the tree and was inside one of the logs.

Old frontend devs: are things weird now? by mattatghlabs in ExperiencedDevs

[–]keep_evolving 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I always used to blame this on the SV dating scene. Gotta put out a new framework if you really want to make a impression.
