If your skull size increases but what’s inside doesn’t, that sounds potentially very bad.

Plot twist: you are the dinner.

Or when those genius scientists say something that shows they don’t even have a high schooler’s grasp of maths.

Magical accident: the teacher had flipped themselves through the fourth dimension the night before.

While we’re griping, and speaking of Console-Itis, does every PC game now need to have an unskippable message telling me that this game has auto save and urging me **not to turn off my PC** when the icon is being displayed? Really? Nobody’s going to do that. Tell me your game is a shitty console port without telling me your game is a shitty console port.

This one, along with “press any button to start”, annoy me so much. There is absolutely no reason to have to press a button before even entering the main menu. If you need it to determine the type of input device, that can be the first press on the menu.

Treat PC games as PC games, even if you make them cross platform.

Syberia 1 and its remake, in parallel. It’s a good story with interesting characters.

The remake is a mixed bag. Overall I do think it’s good. The graphics are beautiful and some quality of life is nice. It also changed some of the puzzles, usually (though not always) for the better. It’s mostly a faithful remake though.

There are two big flaws: the cutscenes were not remastered, and the game became easier.

Cutscenes are only upscaled as far as I can tell, and this is quite jarring compared to the beautiful new graphics. Worse is the difficulty. Syberia was never a hard game, but now it is just too easy. Hotspots are highlighted when your mouse gets near, as are required dialog options. I find this impedes the feeling of discovery.

But despite that, it’s still a pretty good remake.

Completely off topic, but I hate when articles appear to link to original sources, but only link to their own site.

“Microsoft admitted that …” -> link to Microsoft’s admission? Nope, to a neowin article.

“Nvidia released a patch …” -> links to a neowin article instead of the patch.

“Microsoft KB 0000” -> surely this will link to the actual KB? Nope, neowin article.

I make babies.

GW1 and GW2 are very different games. Don’t expect an MMO if you try GW1. You only see other people in cities, the world itself is made up of instanced zones. Only your party is there, and there’s a well-defined mission in each zone. Think of each zone as like a dungeon in an MMO.

That said, it is a great game. I prefer it to GW2, but I would guess that MMO players could be disappointed if they don’t go in with the right expectations.

I did a double take; thought you said OF.

And just as I typed that, Kimi made one where 9 and 10, and 11 and 12 overlapped.

So far, I’d give qwen the prize for most artistic impression of a clock.

Kimi K2 appears to consistently get it right.

Either way, he recommended that everyone “freak the fuck out for the next few days and speculate as much as possible until they announce something,”

Advice after my own heart. Freaking out and speculating are always the best move.

The point here, IMO, is to make moving - some kind of exercise - part of your daily routine. Unless you have a physical job, try to find some way to stay physical. Bike to work (I know this is often not practical), or go for a walk at lunchtime, or start always using the stairs in the office , or …

It sounds contradictory, but staying physically active really does give you more energy.

“ … and here I forgot an ampersand so the parameter was passed by value instead of by reference and I spent so much time …. Oh. You meant the other kind of bugs, didn’t you?”

Weird, it should be standard C++20. Hope are you invoking gcc?

Edit: be sure to call g++, not gcc.

#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>

int main()

  decltype ( NAN ) f { std::numbers::pi };
  std::cout << f << std::endl;

Ironically, that’s definitely something AI could check for.

At one point he thought I was coming onto him. I shut that down so fast.
