I think it’s rather to distinguish between fur as being understood from skinning the animal and using the resulting hide including the hair versus cutting the hair from the skin and receiving the single hair strands and using those strands in construction.

But just how I imagined it is meant, no idea if that is true.

Yeah it contributes to the discussion with the simple solution on how not to be spied on by your TV, in an admittedly patronising way.

The German city name Frankfurt isn’t unique. That’s why the cities often have an identifier. The biggest and most well known Frankfurt is located at the river Main and therefore called Frankfurt (Main). Main is also used as description in programming which is where the rest of the joke is coming from.

I couldn’t find reviews. What I did find was a 5 star based rating system which is not the same thing at all. With steam reviews the text is more relevant to me than if they did or did not recommend the game.

To be honest, the games are too old gameplay wise for me to enjoy as games, but the story? Its great

I don’t think so, because If I remember correctly:

When Bungie was bought by Sony, they specifically included in the contract that they get to make a Marathon game if Destiny 2 reaches certain goals. So they aimed for a marathon game for a long time and specifically included that in the negotiations. Beats me why they would do such a poor multiplayer take on the SINGLEPLAYER franchise that is fondly remembered by fans.

Thanks for the post, I always enjoy reading about people finding the real life inspirations of stories. And your pictures definitely invoked memories of Arcadia Bay bubbling up again. =D

Might be, so better check like this user did:

Just checked my wife’s laptop. Local account, secure boot off, windows 10. It had a message telling me to setup a microsoft account to ‘finish encrypting the device’. I clicked turn off, and it’s currently decrypting the hard drive. Blech.

How often do you get to use this awesome picture? =D

Ouch, that YouTuber just called marathon “a new universe” XD

But seriously, that video cemented my worst fears:

• narrative will be written in the last 6 month of the game development???

• the art style is fine, but it looks nothing like the original marathon to me. It reminds me more of the art style from NeoTokyo.

• the gameplay is completely bog standard, nothing special about it

Who is the target audience for this game??

Marathon fans won’t find any campaign here, while extraction shooter fans already have different games that deliver their fix, especially since this one seems to be full price.

And 4 years development for 3 maps and 4 characters hints at a lot of trial & error with emphasis on error.

Wait what? This news did not reach me till now. Why does everything connected to big companies have to be so shitty.

You aren’t so far away from the truth!

To make a battery you need to have something that holds negative electrical charge and something with a positive electrical charge and both need to be able to change to a different state when you use it or reverse that change when you charge it.

Lithium is the lightest and smallest metal, meaning for the same size and electrical charge, your battery will weigh less.

Then you just need to find ways to make two kind of lithium compounds which have different electrical charge and can be changed between two states.

And if it doesn’t explode when a child throws their battery powered bear on the ground, that would also be a good characteristic.

Okay, for me the racist and general far right stuff is the bigger problem with Notch.

Finally a fellow connoisseur of the true classics!

Yeah, somehow the openendedness gave me a little bit of “it’s not over yet” feeling. But now it feels like the coffin nail being put in.

Coop Immersive Sim sounds awesome to be honest.

Now is the correct timing to play it (if you are on the northern hemisphere). Turn off all lights and then play Soma, you will feel the deep sea atmosphere in a completely different way.

Correct, but that shows what an chemical engineering masterpiece photosynthesis is.

It also isn’t just one step, but multiple smaller steps in between, which make it possible to break the C-O bond.

But the difference is, that for photosynthesis, there are other reaction partners that are able to bond to the Carbon and Oxygen atom. For the decomposition, they likely were in a pure CO2 atmosphere, making it hard for the atoms to find better reaction partners than each other.

The Mechanicus trailer is maybe the greatest ever.

I also fondly remember the Skyrim reveal trailer, because the music was so epic when I saw it for the first time, in ancient times.

It was the one good thing the german liberal party FDP was good for, but they aimed to destroy the coalition from the inside (literally! they made plans and discussion meetings when the best time to destroy it would be). And now they are out and we have the SPD and the Greens left. So one party who really has a hard on for surveillance and the other one who is undecided.
