It would have been around the time of the EverQuest release I got cable Internet, before that it was dial up shared with a frequently used house phone (11 people in the house). Mostly used dial up for web sites like geocities and forums and instant messenger chats (Yahoo, MSN, icq, etc).

It's a sub problem within the field to try to predict good enough values to default to, search terms like optimizing hyperparameter values minimizing a loss function

Redshift, it changes the brightness/color on the display bluer closer to midday and redder at night. Twilight is a similar app on android.

Swamp Thing was pretty far from what I had hoped for and I think they can do more with those stories

It's just a tool, like a search engine or a guillotine

The first level of MegaMan x and good springs in fallout: New Vegas are really good examples of how to convey info to the player about how the game works and what you can do without pulling you out of the game itself into a separate tutorial

Yeah having the emotional content from the dream can change short term emotional and intuition reactions even if you recognize there's no logical, rational reason for it. Best you can do is just be aware of the unfair biases our brains sometimes construct and try not to let it change your behavior.

Why use age instead of a knowledge check instead?

 

The question was raised in a recent .world news article comment https://lemmy.world/post/25766196

 

Been listening to a few lately, a few John Carpenter's, Mayhem was pretty out there, looking for more that are interesting or wildly off topic or entertaining.

 

"In these times of darkness and hopelessness, we wish to share a strong message of solidarity and recognition to those Palestinian journalists who are covering this crisis in such dramatic circumstances. As humanity, we have a huge debt to their courage and commitment to freedom of expression," said Mauricio Weibel, Chair of the International Jury of Media Professionals.

 

Just trying to live with as little advertising as possible and curious what tips or tricks the community has aside from moving out to a cabin in the woods.

I can't really get away from road side advertising for now. Public sporting events are completely infected, and for the ads I am forced to see I try to make a conscious effort not to buy their goods or services. I won't subscribe to a streaming service if they have a sub+ad tier, if they're separate free with ads or sub no ads I'll support it.

Not really for any moral stance, but ad blockers are good at avoiding malware and some services are basically broken if you have to wait for an ad network, and I just feel mentally healthier in general without the extra propaganda.
