You're not controlling an FPS character walking, you're controlling the 'throttle' of how fast you're moving fwd or backward. Holding it down increases speed. Forward means light is hitting your eyes faster, making

That's perfectly believable! Just a pity one hasn't been invented yet, and going by, well... <gestures vaguely in the air> ...everything, never will be.

>the cost of switching is just not that high Oh, my sweet summer child. Please realise that such blanket statements like that are profoundly ignorant. (Note: I'm running an entirely Windows-free household. ) The problem is changing

The day searches started giving us ads instead of what we asked for (as opposed to in addition to what we asked for) was the day they stopped being useful. Which for Google was many years ago. This is not "cross shopping suggestion

Honestly that'd probably appeal to Reznor's aesthetic.

That'd be a lot easier to believe if you provided a source, which you should do if you care enough to comment in the first place, I think? A cursory google suggests that the return-to-office movement is primarily driven by management&#

I compiled the project on a whim during COVID. It played okay. There was even a very small pool of players who had presumably just done exactly the same thing.

I was a hypocrite even writing that comment; my latest phone ALSO has an FM radio. Guess that reddit-quippiness infected me too much that day, sorry.

Just like with VR, you can keep on claiming forums are "dead" all you like. Me and all my friends will keep on using them daily. therearedozensofus.gif

How did you get it? ... How many titles do you have?! I know there's people like Sir David Attenborough who have three alphabets worth of letters after their name, but I hadn't considered the idea of gaming the system to get super

Good thing you're the majority of people, then.

"It's not" only has two matches; the third is "It's noticable". The other two are a whole paragraph dedicated to "it's not X, it's Y" which is a little more than you'd normally expect.

My ex wife's parents couldn't change a tire. I had to do it for them, once.

That varies VASTLY depending on what skill you're at. At D3 where I am, I'd say maybe 2 out of 3 games have at least one person showing banners or skins that are exclusive to Grand Champ tournament winners.

How's the P10 camera on graphene? Literally 90% of the reason I'm on a pixel is because I love the low-light smarts that the camera software has, but I don't know if I'll lose that with Graphene.

This is the most concisely-expressed version of the actual concerns for UBI that I've ever seen, thankyou.

While I agree utterly and completely, the possibility of such a case needing a jury is low, when there's almost certainly going to be several camera recordings available from the vehicles in question as well as surrounding buildings&#x

WASTE became popular in our area just as LANning was ending its heyday. Even now I think the whole course of technology could have been altered if WASTE was utilised in a "corporate VPN" fashion, instead of the rise of Juniper rou

My parents have a book published in 1849, "The Chemistry of Modern Life" and it's interesting to see how they transition very deliberately between "technical" and then "dumbed-down" descriptions of things.

And then the next kid says "infinity plus two", which is a perfectly acceptable progression, and the cycle starts again.

I had a fig at my work desk for a couple of years. Work moved buildings. The new aircon killed it. No matter how much I watered it, it kept drying out. It was still trying to live off its two remaining leaves, when I picked it up by its tru

Ah, missed that bit entirely, was going mostly on the story of being front and centre and being smiled at - it's an apocryphal story for TGD. Now I"m thinking, the mention of digital formats doesn't make much sense either ^_^

A UK trance artist called Deathboy left directory-traversal open on his website about 23 year ago. Since then I've had a lot of mp3's that he's never released or put on albums, which is sad because a lot of them are pretty gr
