I had no idea it was a stingray game. I thought it was only Fatshark stuck on that POS engine haha.
Things like the grenade glitch are going to be more related to th game logic than the engine, but depending on how the engine handles scripting it could be back to being an engine problem.
Overall I've never thought of Arrowhead as a 'quality' developer - I had a great time with Magicka and HD1, but the jank was part of the charm.
Most OLEDs today ship with logo detection and will dampen the brightness on static elements automatically.
While it isn't a silver bullet, it does help reduce burn in since it is strongly linked to heat, and therefore to the pixel brightness. New blue PHOLEDs are expected to also cut burn in risk. Remember that LCDs also used to have burn in issues, as did CRTs.
They send random gifts some times, usually a code to redeem something in a game I don't play.
Some super reacts - animated emojis basically.
Other than that I really couldn't tell you. I don't think the subscription is worth what the subscription gives, but the alternative is the free product gets worse faster, and that would disrupt a lot of communities that I enjoy interacting with.
Thinking of Discord as a whole, I think it is worth the nitro price. Not in love with the trajectory though.
I mostly just pay for it because I've used it for ages and definitely get more value out of it than the subscription cost. I don't think I use a single nitro feature.
They do that to keep people chasing the new primaries from the war bonds.
The cycle is pretty obvious at this point: warbond comes out, weapon is god, weapon gets nerfed, repeat.
enough men exhibit predatory behaviour to the extent that a decently large percentage of women fear the average man more than the average bear.
Women should fear the average man far more than the average bear because they will almost certainly never encounter the average bear, but will encounter thousands of men.
That said, the entire argument belies a deep misunderstanding of statistics. Many women, perhaps most women, have experienced trauma at the hands of men. Many men, perhaps most men, have not been perpetrators of that trauma. There is not a 1-1 relationship between victimized women and guilty men - there is a minority of men who negatively affect many women.
The entire thing has become flamebait and it is impossible to have an actual discussion about it. The point is to start a conversation about how women feel unsafe in society - not to talk about bear attacks and incels.
In the UK, you have the choice between giving them a picture of your ID or doing a facial scan to complete the age verification requirement.
Lolz just give them a fake email...
how else can it be interpreted?
As a call for representation in Parliament, the body levying taxes.
The slogan wasn't "No taxation unless we are an independent political entity".
"No taxation without representation" is also a drastically misunderstood line.
What they were effectively asking for was self-governance, being removed from parliamentary control.
Given the technological limitations of the time, there was no way to effect a representative scheme in parliament with a constituency that was a 12-week round trip away. Furthermore, there were serious discussions of adding seats to parliament for the colonies, and the colonies refused to send anyone.
The Assembly of Massachusetts Bay was the first which ever took exception to the right of Parliament to impose Duties or Taxes on the Colonies, whilst they had no representatives in the House of Commons. This they did in a letter to their Agent in the summer of 1764 ... And in this letter they recommend to him a pamphlet, wrote by one of their members, in which there are proposals for admitting representatives from the Colonies to fit in the House of Commons ... an American representation is thrown out as an expedient which might obviate the objections to Taxes upon the Colonies, yet ... it was renounced ... by the Assembly of the Colony which first proposed it, as utterly impracticable.
And
Whilst [the radical colonists] exclaim against Parliament for taxing them when they are not represented, they candidly declare they will not have representatives [in Parliament] lest they should be taxed ... The truth ... is that they are determined to get rid of the jurisdiction of Parliament ... and they therefore refuse to send members to that assembly lest they should preclude themselves of [the] plea [that Parliament's] legislative acts ... are done without their consent; which, it must be confessed, holds equally good against all laws, as against taxes ... The colony advocates ... tell us, that by refusing to accept our offer of representatives they ... mean to avoid giving Parliament a pretence for taxing them
They rebelled against the empire because they wanted lower taxes. The freedom from tyranny narrative was concocted to get buy in from the lower classes who had to actually die for the revolution to succeed.
The rehtoric never matched reality - "All men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights".. except all those slaves and Indians.
There's no real complexity. Computers are first and foremost electric space heaters, a negligible amount of energy is used to perform computation.
If you would be heating a room with resistive electric heating, a computer drawing the same wattage can do the same job while also, in theory, doing some useful work.
If you are just evaluating heating options, heat pumps use less energy to output the same heat.
