Being comfortable with algebra is kinda essential, however you probably won't make much use of calculus unless you go into certain parts of the industry such as game development.

Practice makes perfect though, you may suck at maths today, but there's nothing stopping you from getting better at it if you work at it

It'll be in a compilation pack, I'd bet

The big win for GeForce NOW was you could fire up games from your steam library—you didn't need to directly invest in a service which might die for your ownership of a game

This breaks many games

I kinda hate to be this guy, but:

Know this does not exist in any other country

It is unnecessary in any other country

America has entirely constructed its own hell by simply not applying the same appropriate gun control you see in every other developed nation in the world

Edit: and I know you probably agree with me, but goddamn you've just collectively proven as a nation that over half your countrymen will bazooka their feet and the feet of everyone unfortunate enough to be near them, before even contemplating the idea of supporting someone who promises to make their lives better!

OP, let's not be funny, we know exactly how you feel about it

You're a mentally well adjusted human

Unlike the people who thought this is normal behaviour

Genuinely when there was actually some competition in this space, GeForce NOW was actually the consumer friendly one

Guess we have another case study in why competition results in worse outcomes for the customer in its eventual conclusion

Basically in my experience, when it comes to smart lights it's generally just worth springing the extra for Philips Hue (and using the hub, not just in Bluetooth mode) unless you want to waste your time and money with other brands. Nothing else seems to be remotely as reliable and easy to work with—and I have zero patience for having to perform tech support on my house lighting.

I'm glad to hear you got your bulbs working though

Okay cool, but what about the games you've already had out for like a year?

Like, idk, ff7r2 on PC?

You'd have thought they'd have learned from losing the browser monopoly they had 15 years ago due to complacency

99% of their "innovation" comes from pubic sector academia or stuff NASA already figured out anyway.

IMO SpaceX shouldn't have exclusive rights to any of it, really

The only thing they're really bringing to the table is money. NASA could be doing exactly the same stuff if the government actually treated it as a priority.

I say this all as someone who often supports the greens in my own country:

If they are even entertaining the idea of Harris losing being a positive for them, they are as deranged as Trump.

Trump gets in, we might as well start building bunkers, because climate change will accelerate under him, and these next 5 years are probably the most important if we're going to stand any chance of turning this around.

I don't know who still needs to see this, but: Voting Green in this election is the most environmentally damaging thing you can do aside from directly voting for trump.

If you vote green in this election, you will be directly responsible for everything that follows should Harris lose.

I've just started Return to the Obra Dinn, so far really liking the art style and the main game mechanics. I'm interested to see how the story unfolds as it seems to be taking a "memento" style reverse chronological approach to telling it.

Also still playing Halls of Torment as ever since Vampire Survivors, one of these top down roguelite shoot-em-up games has been in my rotation.

Oh and I nearly forgot, also started pizza tower, but only dipped my toe into that one so far. Really enjoy the art and platforming mechanics so far.

 

Hey, I've been trying to subscribe to !audioproductiondeals@lemmit.online for a couple of days now and know the drill about searching it first and waiting for it to sync, but it doesn't seem to be doing the job.

It looks like other lemmit.online communities seem to work fine, but this one seems to stubbornly refuse to show up.

Is there something I'm missing here?
