The dev thought “I know exactly what you meant, but I still insist you to do it my way”.

Oh cool. So is the banana added before cooking or after? Is image it could get rather mushy if cooked.

That sounds very interesting!. Do you mean curry leaves, or a particular curry sauce? I know e.g. masaman often includes peanuts.

Ew, I’ve given olives an honest shot but I just can’t even. Feta is great for a salty pairing with pineapple though!

Probably Grontar: The Frutang, circa 2003.

Wood Science must be a rather strange field.

1 mL of pure water weighs exactly 1 g at 20 °C and 1 atm pressure :) It’s a defined standard, useful for calibrating other things.

1 mL. Studying chemistry has made that extremely useful and now other units seem ridiculous.

If we’re talking about geology or oceanography though, cubic meters are fine.

A: None; it was Devon.

A surprising number of plastic/rubber components used in cheap electronics accessories will offgas. You notice an odd smell, that’s literally petrochemicals entering your nostrils by the millions. Some of them can mimic biomolecules like hormones. I’m not saying they’re necessarily all harmful but there needs to be a lot more research.

Oh damn, you’re right. I just tried it with Steam Play turned off and it wouldn’t even launch.

I swear it was already playable via Proton though. I even installed it on Steam Deck just for shits & giggles a couple months ago and it worked, albeit not a great experience on a 7" screen. Still, any improvements are good.

That’s kinda sad, but at least they’re playable somehow I guess.

I didn’t realize that, thanks

Total War: Shogun 2 is now playable? It runs natively on Linux and doesn’t even need Proton. I guess this is good news if someone has a Windows only copy on DVD or something.

I haven’t played StarCraft since like 1999 but that actually makes sense. Huh.

For maximum hair-tearing insufferableness?

My Pal Foot Foot x1

The audience HAS to actively listen to it? Like no talking over it and no interrupting with other noise?

I like this. Finally some peace and quiet.

I saw a comment a while ago where someone calculated the equivalent wealth of fictional dragons (e.g. by estimating the dimensions of Smaug’s vast gold trove in The Hobbit) and determined that real billionaires are far worse hoarders of money. Like 1000x worse.

I should try to find that comment again.

In contrast to this exec and many of the responses, another Steam Next Fest is happening right now! Go play free demos of upcoming games, 99% of which are Indies you’ve probably not yet heard of.

Retro Games Corps got hit, even though Russ only does legal emulation and backups. It’s his “2nd strike” on YouTube (3rd is channel deletion). He’s always been mindful of the situation and considerate of not spilling games or encouraging anything close to piracy from what I’ve seen.
