How many of the games you play are only available through a digital distribution service? Because I would say if an internet connection is required to obtain the game then that makes the internet connection a requirement to play.

I consider lootboxes and the F2P model to be a big part of what is wrong with modern gaming and I don't think they'd be a thing or at the very least wouldn't be anywhere near as prevalent if online functionality were required to be strictly optional.

Also, if a game publisher doesn't want you to have access to certain content then they shouldn't include it in the game files.

I read that last sentence in the voice of Bane from that one Auralnauts video.

Cum...is packed...with testerone.

It's saying that some new allegations surrounding libogc, a low level library used extensively in Wii and Gamecube homebrew, call the ethics and possibly the legality of any project using the library into question.

The headline itself could be a little more clear, but it makes sense after reading the article.

If the tools on display in the article are anything to go by, there is a distinct possibility they just got up their own ass.

Ah yes, the infamous "stinky cheese" email virus. Who knew zip bombs could be so destructive. It erased all of the easter eggs off of my DVDs.

Looks like it's just the brand it's sold under in that market.

I was more just pointing out that they are the same thing, since it wasn't clear if you knew that or not and I think it's important that people know what the drugs they're taking actually are. Tends to be safer that way.

Hopefully, you're either taking it as prescribed or having fun responsibly. Benzos can be fun, but they're also some of the most addictive substances on the planet.

Also, these articles you're posting are some quality writing.

That title feels like something I'd attempt to say in a Batman voice, but wind up saying in the same voice I say everything.

And on an unrelated note, why does this show up in my feed (which is sorted by new comments) when the newest comment is 18 days old?

Well now I'm hungry at 2AM. Thanks.

Fun fact "Velium" is just a brand name for Diazepam. As is Valium.

I'm kind of disappointed it wasn't CBAT.

The only beauty in the (main) eye of a beholder is an anti-magic ray.

Depends on the details. If their crime hurt someone innocent (or had a high likelihood to) and it was intentional, yes.

If I'm likely to go down with them if they get caught, yes.

Otherwise, I ain't no snitch and even if I were I don't know anything about nothing.

I'm far from an expert on the topic, but I've worked around the military for a while, and have had some conversations with some more knowledgeable people about this.

Basically, it's any kind of military work that isn't affiliated with a government. On the more benign side of things that would be stuff like private armed security, the French Foreign Legion, or working as a contractor for companies that do physical pen-testing for military installations.

It could also mean working as a contractor for a group like Blackwater, where you are engaging in some likely shady military operations where the government wants some sort of deniability, which (IMO) crosses the line fully into the malign.

It's only 6' in Canada? It's 50' in the US.

Of course nobody actually enforces it, so it's effectively nothing, but still...

It looks to be an empty case, based on the lack of PSU and motherboard.

Yes. You're supposed to use it anytime you're about to turn or change lanes, including if you're sitting in a turn lane at a red light or backing out of a drive way or parking spot.

Not doing so makes you a road hazard.

Sure, you could look at it that way, but an equally valid way to look at it would be based on human life spans.

Average human life expectancy is 72 years. Which is, conveniently very close to the age of the oldest video game (an implementation of tic-tac-toe from 1950).

Would you call a 14 year old human old? At that point they'd be ~20% of they way through their life.

Having a completion checklist is definitely a good idea. Especially if you're working long, high stress days. It can provide some additional peace of mind that you didn't overlook anything or miss a step somewhere.

If you include start and stop times for each step and the task as a whole it could also provide a source of data for estimating how long similar jobs in the future might take.

Coming from a different field, and not as a business owner, but it sounds like they're suggesting that you document all of your processes and maintain some kind of knowledge base that you then make readily accessible to your employees and you.

I've found that the below is a good starting point for doing that:

• List out all of the tasks you do, don't worry about covering absolutely everything at this point, just what you can think of.
• Sort those tasks by how frequently you do them (ie daily, weekly, annually, as needed, etc)
• Additionally sort by priority (Paying employees is probably a high priority task)
• Pick a task and start writing up a procedure for how to complete that task. You'll probably want a list of required info, tools, and other prerequisites at the top of the procedure followed by detailed step by step instructions for completing the task. It might be a good idea to create a template for this.
• Once you've written up procedures for all of the tasks on your list, print it off and put it in a binder or several. Make those binders available to everyone who might need to know that info.
• As you think of other tasks, develop new processes, or think of better ways to carry out existing tasks update the document to reflect those changes. It is not and should not be a static document. It should reflect how you actually do things.
• Ensure that everyone is aware of when it changes.
