You are all mad! The sun is definitely getting oxygen! The giant space bellows hide just out of sight on the precisely opposite side of the sun from earth, so we've never been able to observe them.

Gringolth the oxidation wizard had been pumping them for millions of years. The biggest risk is that he dies before being replaced by an offspring!

It's the info you get from using the mouse to hover over things on the screen.

That patch note is saying they disabled cursor mode in Alt only. They did not disable it in tab. All of the items that appeared on Alt also appear on tab where the cursor is still enabled and you can see extra info by hovering over an object on the screen.

Using the mouse there gives me the extra info I used to get when using Alt

It's on tab. It's not gone.

I only do that when the problem space is interesting.

Most developers are just implementing CRUD using a framework that does most of the work. There isn't the interest motivation to keep on trying to fix things.

I'm not sure how well this meme is making it's point. Lemonade is by definition mostly water.

Is it generic? It seems pretty rich in Elden Ring when compared to most games.

Because he'd say no. Better to ask for forgiveness.

Imagine weighing people as big rocks, though.

Until the UK changes that, us Americans and Canadians can rest assured that nothing we are doing is quite that ridiculous.

Different user here.

My only criteria for a backend language is it tells me something went wrong and where. Hence my distaste for JS.

The PS5, while bigger than last entries, is hardly the size of a small fridge.

More like a floor air conditioner.

Long time fans of the 2d games really enjoy Wonder as the movement mechanics moved back to a faster feel from pre-New Super Mario Bros. My favorite will probably always be Super Mario World because the movement is the most responsive in that game and I also like to play ROM hacks for it and that community is wild.

New Super Mario Bros ended up with a sluggish movement by comparison and dominated 2d Mario for decades.

The big draw for many people in Mario is movement mechanics and that's why Odyssey is so popular as well. The 3d platforming with Cappy just feels right. Like a missing extension that we never new we didn't have.

 

I've been playing Final Fantasy 16 for the last couple of weeks and feel really let down by the hype and reviews of this game.

While I enjoy the deviation of the combat the rest of the game feels very incomplete. The vocal animations are frequently off. The travel from area to area is just an overworld map to select travel from one small area to another. There are like 2 or 3 side quests at a time and a whole vendor that will send you to side quests in different areas, but his menu is always empty.

In general, the graphics are roughly the same as FFXIV. The animations and music seem ripped right out of 14 as well. And the combat and akin to the main series Kingdom Hearts games.

Overall I'm enjoying it, but these 7-9 out of 10 reviews that are calling it some massive achievement seem really undeserved.
