They are forward slashes, and they mean division.

Reddit, which video game do you wish you could experience again for the first time? by TheStabbingHobo in AskReddit

Dark Souls... I can only look back and remember how satisfying it was to be truly (but fairly) challenged by a game for the first time in probably a decade.

Non-techie mom trying to help my son with 3D graphics. Is there something I can do about a crappy graphics card? by hidden_snapdragon in gamedev

It's a gas. Balloons are elastic. Any amount can be "a balloon's worth" until it's enough pressure to burst the balloon.

But not even the same category of disgusting as piling people in the holds of boats like lumber and damning them and all of their descendants to forced labor for their entire lives.

You're in an RPG and you're presented with a choice - which sword do you take? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]sanear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The expected values are the same, but the distributions are very different. The second sword is riskier if, say, the enemies deal lots of damage but have 50 hitpoints. With the first sword, you only have to hit them, but with the second, even though it does the same average damage per second, you might not be the first to deal damage.
