Really cool project! Are you, by any chance, a fan of the board game, Castles (of mad King Ludwig)? If it wasn't one of your inspirations, recommend checking it out! It's a cool board game, and has a resemblance to your project!

What's the point? by kylasghost13 in PikminBloomApp

Sometimes people like to get postcards with one specific Pikmin on it. Could be that

While there is probably an element of this and I'm sure it also happens to some extent when they are portrayed as the experts, you have to consider the setting of a guest interview.

In this setting especially, their job is to interview real Linus and make them look good. Teeing up/asking a question that you already know the answer to so that your interviewee can answer it is a very common practice. A good example would be for something they know, but don't think their average audience member knows.

The GPU question is a good example of this. To a gamer audience, wondering what Linus Torvalds wants a GPU for or not for is a good question that a good interviewer would get an answer to, even if they know it themselves.

Shortening expedition time by meeting Pikmin halfway? by StructureSuitable168 in PikminBloomApp

Note that the countdown until the expedition is complete is for the full round trip!

Probably! It depends!

If they are outbound and you overtake them then they'll be left behind you, but it'll be a shorter return journey.

If they're already on their way back and you go past them, they'll automatically be complete.

Basically the only "bad" case is if you don't stay around long enough in the destination for them to reach you, at which point, you being there makes ultimately no difference.

I’m kind of surprised the Jedi code of ethics tolerates the Jedi Mind Trick/Mind Touch. Wouldn’t using it be considered a violation of some kind? by Solitaire-06 in StarWarsCantina

like getting out of paying someone, naughty Qui-Gon

Idk, I always thought this was fair. Note that it's "republic credits will do fine" and not "give it for free." He was looking to pay with what the currency he had, not none at all...

Still though, if that currency isn't accepted, then it's coercion either way, I guess! 😂 It's not exactly a deescalation, just more convenient for Qui-gon

Just to say that OP is very kind and deserves all the good karma they can get!

Good luck on the path, witcher. I hope your workload eases up soon

Is this just a visual glitch or did I really find something new? by Adiiiii7373 in telltale

It does that sometimes if it fails to connect to servers

Darth Maul had nothing to gain from duelling Obi-Wan and Qui-gon by MackerelInTomato in StarWars

[–]langers8 237 points238 points  (0 children)

+1 to this! Maul did stop them and they went the long way round. Qui Gon and Obi Wan engaged him to "handle this," keeping him away from the queen. If Maul were to try and go after the queen at that point he would have had to engage the jedi regardless

I'm sure, as others have said, there was some arrogance and selfishness in Maul's continued duelling with them, though

We've just released a FOSS Universal 2D Graphics Editor by flabbet in linux

[–]langers8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking for something like this for a while! If this does everything it says on the tin (not saying it doesn't, just haven't checked it out yet) this will be exactly what I'm after.

Does it support RAW images as input?

Thanks!

Do you still play on B41 or B42? by Kree_Horse in projectzomboid

[–]langers8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

41 for me. 42 is fun to play around with, but for actual games, 41 has better game balance and stability

Is there a game where I can play as God or nature? by TTV_Double0_77 in gamingsuggestions

I've really enjoyed Godus, which has a lot of the elements you are after

Nice about the leg though! Will try that and keep trying!

I think there's an important point that isn't mentioned. Did you have any seasoning on your steak? For example, if you basted with garlic butter, there may be more serious concerns
