Most of those are ones i already hate.

My childhood friend and a common acquaintance work at Supercell. I once asked them what they think about the moral issue of putting paid loot boxes in games for children.

They had never heard of such a controversy and didn't understand why a fun and profitable feature would be somehow wrong.

Contractor was Trumps Mar-a-lago buddies and hired directly without questions asked. Didn't know what they were doing.

Yeah, I build a 4 display setup for my son with 2 hdmi splitters and 3 almost identical displays ( model code in one was slightly different even though had bought 3 same displays ) and one older one from different manufacturer with same specs.

Many desktop environments only saw 3 displays OOB. KDE was able to use 4, but it was unstable, especially with games and restart juggled the display order. Some trial, error and tweaking fixed most problems, but there was still some serious unstability due to different display models and spitters inability to fully reconcile differences. So, in the end it was a hardware problem.

He still used that setup for a while.

When my son settled on i3 desktop, solution was to buy a 4K TV and spit it to 4 displays with xrandr. Worked perfectly even with games (window borderless). He still set up a hotkey that made the 4 displays in to one, if some app/game didn't like the split.

I took those 4 displays because I had a multi-device setup and I needed a new display and was tired of using HDMI switch.

Various designing firms.

After the bubble bursts, law firms, because everyone starts suing everyone to get back money they didn't necessarily have, but still spent, because somebody will soon sue them.

I don't like where this is going, but I approve it.

It comes from quantum mechanics where particles travel all possible routes and when making calculations you need to account for all possible variations, because they affect each other.

When particle is measured, all variations disappear except one and that one continues thereafter without the affects of others.

Multiword model dictates that the other variations don't disappear. They just disconnect from our reality and continue elsewhere.

Currently multiworld model is popular. Imho it 's the only one that properly explains all quantum phenomena.

Although there is a good argument wether multiworld is proper science.

So, she was seriously allergic to the sweater and still kept it on ?

Orange Clown just wants to get ~~something~~ everything under his name. We can change it all to Obama later.

I never sold any of my oldies goldies, so, physical copies just take space.

My prefered method is to generally buy games on Steam and if I consider one of them a classic that I might want to return to in the distant future, I'll buy then again from GOG and store them on an external drive.

I've been a gamer since 1985 and all games that still work from 1980-2000 are mostly ones that were pirared, had no copy protection, or had a really simple protection that just checked if you had the manual of other peripheral. i.e. the ones that can be transfered from one storage media to another.

GOG copies probably have the greatest longevity.

I've been with buzz cut for the last 30 years. Does that count. Plenty on weird to go around.

Yes, but you'll be drained.

What if the preliminary reviewer is an AI and it really likes AI written text?
