Right wingers love to claim that that judge is being authoritarian, ignoring the facts that:

1. He was picked at random to oversee every case related to the coup attempt.
2. The whole court is constantly reviewing all of his actions and are yet to find any wrongdoing.

In that regard I have to praise Stephanie Meyer: she made her money and then fucked off, never to be heard from again.

Usually none. I only have an inner monologue when I explicitly want to have one and in that case it works just like talking: I can use any language I want.

Without the internet I probably wouldn't have lived in the same places I did, nor met the same people I did. So I guess it would've taken me longer to reach the political views I have today, but I think I would've them, eventually.

I remember that even before having access to the internet I was already seeing some hypocrisy in the arguments that I parroted from everyone around me, and I would sometimes argue back against some of them even without proper knowledge of the subject.

AI is not the new NFT but also not the new Internet. It's the new touchscreen. Amazing in some contexts, but forced down on every other.

Well yeah, we are much more likely to have to deal with poisonous brands than poisonous plants these days.

As usual, if you want to make something for Mac, Apple requires you to make it FOR Mac, with several little things on top of just being able to run the game. And you need to pay Apple for the privilege of making something for their platform too.

Then there's also all several tech stacks that they outright forbid even if it could run just fine. And many security layers you need to navigate and document in order to not got some random API call blocked that ends up breaking your whole code (something that you can't even test properly because the blocks occur randomly and only when the game is downloaded from their [mandatory?] app store).

Most devs work with windows as their target platform and depending on their tech stack, supporting Linux might be as simple as running a separate build script (nowadays not even that as users can just figure out for themselves how to run the windows version of the game). Testing your game on your own mac (for a limited time) might be just as easy, but Apple adds so many extra layers to the process of releasing a game for their platform that in general it's just not worth it.

There's a bunch of people out there desperate for anything to play, but the best option for making your game run on macs these days is to add it to some service like GeForce Now.

Apple is constantly trying to shun gamedevs away from its platform, then from time to time they'll be like "why won't people make games for macs?" and do something like this to try to get them back, but shortly after it'll go right back to screwing devs all over again.

I prefer books that don't waste too many sentences describing things that have no relevance, but I can still enjoy a good story.

Not cried, but Trevor Moore's death shook me as that was the first time someone I enjoyed the work of died while I was still expecting to see more work from them in the future.

Oh yeah I played Elden Ring too. Avowed I tried but didn't like; the other two really aren't my type of game.

Where did he expect to keep the tech devices while naked?
