A few years back I got really into Python for a few months as a complete newbie. One day, when I felt ready, I told myself I would put all the python skills I picked up and build a small program that would generate random, solvable sudoko puzzles. After a few weeks trying everything and not getting anywhere, I gave up programming.
Moral of the story is I probably that I should have taken it a bit slower I guess
FYI, tracking based on legitimate interest can be rejected, it just isn’t by default. If you click on “reject all” both tracking based on consent and tracking based on legitimate interests are rejected (at least if Microsoft wants to be in compliance with EU rules on tracking).
The only trackers that can be used even if you click on “reject all” are those that are used exclusively for technical purposes and some very light analytics
Pretty cool game, didn’t manage to find the answer in 20 questions though
Also, how does a stick break scissors?
If your dad agrees with everything from socialism to class war and the only difference between you is about the necessity of physical violence, then he’s hardly a “hardcore liberal”, he just sounds like a leftist with different ideas thab yours imo
I hate this so much
What I fail to see is how is burning a book achieving anything remotely as useful as cooking beef. You cook beef to eat it, you burn a book to make a clear political and/or religious message and purposefully offend people.
A company that makes a 0$ profit and 0$ loss should be considered a successful one. Such a company would manage to pay all its costs (including wages, r&d, etc.) and function at peak efficiency.
Amazon already got serious several years ago, invested tons of money in their dev studios, bought huge licences, recruited talented people and still mostly failed to this day. I remember reading an article about Amazon’s very hierarchical corporate structure that killed any attempt at the creativity needed to make a successful game but I can’t seem to find it
I don’t believe for a second that any of these big tech companies have a chance of making a significant dent in the videogame market, it’s just too far from their own expertise
Sure, but Marx didn’t invent socialism. The Commune itself was massively inspired by Proudhon’s socialist ideas. Even before that, Saint-Simon’s socialism influenced some factions that took part in the French Revolution.
All that to say that yeah, nowadays Marxism is the main socialist ideology, but it’s not the only one
It depends a lot on what you actually mean by socialism and communism because these words can have very different meanings to different people and ideology.
As a very broad baseline, socialism is the socialization of the means of production, as opposed to the current privatization of those means. Now there are a lot of ways this could be done, and thus a lot of ways to define socialism. Some socialists want a strong State that can enforce strict rules of ownership, others want no State at all and a free cooperation between individuals, with a lot of variations in between. An anarchist, a communist, a social-democrat would all consider themselves socialists, even when they actually have very distinct ideologies.
Now communism, at least in its most recognizable form, is basically the end state of socialism in the Marxist ideology specifically. It designates a stateless, classless society in which each person contributes according to their ability and receives according to their needs. It’s basically the end goal theorized by Marx that has never been achieved yet in History.
Ads is never just ads. It’s primarily a business model that is fundamentally anti-consumer, because when your main remenue starts becoming showing ads to your user instead of selling them something of value, your priorities shift from trying to make a good quality product to trying to max out engagement in order to print as many ads as possible.
I think you’re spot on for Vision. If the last Phoenix Force buff taught me one thing, it’s that the difference between a 4-cost card that can move and a 5-cost card that can move is truly massive. I guess Vision got a bit more appealing for a Shuri combo and a last turn move to bait Shang Chi though, that’s probably something I’ll want to try out.
I know it to be true, I’ve heard it dozens of times, but my dumb brain still refuses to accept the solution everytime. It’s kind of crazy really
Paying money to work isn’t something I would consider worth it. Sure, I might get a bit of free time in the evenings, but it doesn’t seem like enough to justify the travel and lodging costs
It’ll be on game pass so I’ll probably still test it out, but I really don’t get why a Payday game would need anti-piracy measures since the whole point is to play co-op
I’ve started playing The Pale Beyond, and I really love it so far. It’s basically a mix of VN and a resource management game where you’re put in command of a polar expedition in a 19th century-ish fictional world, and have to get your crew through the challenges of resource scarcity, extreme cold and interpersonal drama.
My only nitpick is that it’s a bit too linear so I have to fight against my urge to savescum.
It’s been a few months since I played it, and I remember I really enjoyed it at the time but ended up feeling a bit limited in what I could do: after the truly magical first few hours, everything seemed to devolve into a game all about numbers and lacking actual depth. Has there been interesting updates since?

Woodworking, or any activity that involves crafting useful and/or beautiful things with my own two hands. I live in a flat so I lack space to do it, but the idea of using an object or a furniture everyday while knowing I actually made it from scratch is just so appealing to me
