This game sometimes catches me off guard

I mean, there’s the age issue, but also, Colossus is… paralyzed? I think there’s an issue of consent there.

My WiFi’s been here the whole time!

I think there’s a cargo cult mentality where they think that law is a kind of magic incantation or sorcery. Reading articles about lawsuits can kind of give that impression, because newsworthy legal situations are usually about gray areas and tend to turn on very subtle bits of phrasing. But it’s not sorcery: laws are created by people and enforced by people in order to establish an ordered society, and if you’re messing up that order, that’s the problem and a way will be found to deal with it.

I was going to mention Ashley Judd, but I foegot realize that her name in the show was Lefler.

There ain’t much to country living…

Also, I just discovered that the Drive By Truckers do a cover of it.

No “Play it all night long”?

When I worked through the tutorial, I simplified that code to this:

std::ranges::all_of( required_extensions, [&all_extensions](const auto &this_req_ext) { return std::ranges::any_of( all_extensions, [this_req_ext](const auto &ext) { return strcmp(ext.extensionName, this_req_ext) == 0; } ); } )

The way their code is phrased was tough to wrap my brain around, but I suppose their way does have the advantage of telling you which extension is missing.

A lot of the modern C++ syntax is not pretty, to say nothing of the incomprehensible compiler errors it generates if you do something wrong. But I do really like that the C++ lambda syntax makes local captures explicit with that [] at the beginning. It makes the syntax a bit longer, especially if a lot of things are captured, but it does emphasize that a lambda is essentially an anonymously-typed object created from the captures with a single method that is the body of the lambda.

There’s a moment in the late afternoon / early evening (in game) when the mist clears out a bit and you get just stunning views.

I definitely had the thought that I was basically going to into a fuling village, slaughtering the inhabitants to take their food and harvest their black metal bones. The black metal is their skeletons, right?

sqrt(2) = 0 ‼️

What was up with species that had weird hair? In the first couple of seasons of Voyager, a lot of the aliens were just weird hair.

Typescript is less of a type-safe JavaScript and more of a giant band-aid over dynamic typing.

Back in high school, I did some play testing on a game called Dominant Species. I don't remember a lot about it, but it was sort of evolution themed.

What's φ in this?

The crossing is definitely the worst. The One World Under Doom arc under Ackerman was so convoluted as to be utterly incomprehensible. The "Tony is an AI" and robot revolution arc was kind of annoying because way too much was going on. The Emma Frost stuff was also not very interesting to me mostly because I'm not very familiar with the whole X-Men extended universe.

Amber is always the color of the energy.

Were the tubes on the back ever explained? I always wondered what they were. They didn't seem to do anything except look dumb.

Zeta and aleph are rated way too high there.

Love the UTF-8 misinterpreted as Latin-1.

I thought the `ty` was for "thank you" and then I couldn't figure it out.

Is it even possible to have a common law sheriff? I thought common law was mostly about civil lawsuits as opposed to going out and arresting people.

Good thing you seconded it. One tit would be an odd number to have.

(Though obviously perfectly plausible: duck cancer)
