Brotherhood and Revelations are both continuations and upgrades from 2. I would not recommend playing all three back to back, but if you liked 2 they should be high on your list to play next.

Now for the real question: is it actually IRC or just an in-game IRC-like interface?

The greatest hacking game of all time, Uplink, has an actual IRC client that you can buy and install on your in-game systems.

IRC pops up a lot in less obvious places too. The in-game chat in Warframe is IRC, but it handles all the server and channel connecting, locking you out of connecting to arbitrary servers.

The o is a head and the 7 is an arm/hand. It’s a text form of 🫡.

JWO hasn’t shut down. The system got polished enough for them to sell it to other companies, so they don’t need their own test-platform locations anymore.

JWO and similar systems do not reduce labor. The people working cashier become customer service attendants. These systems are valuable when the issue is throughput and sales are being lost at peak times. Airport convenience stores and stadium concession stands, for example, can get significantly higher revenue for the same footprint.

On the other hand, the only way to get good training data is to generate data indistinguishable from the real-world scenario and then have humans mark it up the way you want the system to do it. You might as well have the data actually be from the real world and recoup some of the costs with sales.

The drop in murder rate is fake. The government adopted a no-body-no-crime policy where as long as the gangs dispose of their corpses, nothing will be recorded.

Bukele has been backed by the gangs his entire career.

From early recalls, it looks like the product was sold direct by the grower and to Sysco, a major distributor. A huge portion of restaurants use Sysco, and Sysco hasn’t specified what states they sent impacted product to in the recalls I’ve seen.

I was digging through my purchases this morning looking at the recalled Sysco items. I have a few places on the west side of the US using a few of the items, but those distribution centers were sourcing from a different grower.

Food goes through so many hands that early-stage contamination recalls tend to take a while to cascade out to things that are useful to a end-user.

She was both a prosecutor and judge before hopping on the hate train. She’s been milking the ‘judge’ honorific for years.

In line with Francis on migrants and the poor. He thinks social elements like position on LGBT issues should be set at the regional level and align with local cultural acceptance.

In other words, slightly progressive from a Catholic leadership standpoint, but conservative when compared against Western Europe.

If you don’t do what Trump wants, you’re fired. He doesn’t tell you what he wants though…

This was comments, not posts. They were using a model to approximate the demographics of a poster, then using an LLM to generate a response counter to the posted view tailored to the demographics of the poster.

Many modern games have a separate physics frame rate to avoid that issue, but tend to always have the physics process a fixed amount of ‘time’ regardless of how long the frame takes so that the physics is more consistent. If that lags, the whole game will pretty much play in slow motion.

Nobody can make a successful browser that is simpler. The moment a user hits a website that no longer works, they are going back to their old browser.

All these new features exist because websites replaced every single program most people used. Web browser now have to be capable of doing anything pretty well. It’s not some grand conspiracy to take over the internet, it’s providing the features devs want so they can deliver the things they want in the modern multiplatform no-install world.

When talking about attack drones, historically that has described an unmanned bomber that has significant range and strike capability. These are a strategic asset, operated far back from the front and making big-picture attacks. They replace cruise missiles and manned bombers.

The war in Ukraine has led to the first major deployment of tactical drones. These are relatively short range and operated in the field. Some are simply hobby drones rigged up to be able to drop a grenade, while others are flown straight into a target and explode. This article is talking about the latter, which is basically a replacement for anti-tank missiles.

When compared against a missile you have to have line of sight to guide to the target, a 20km range is a huge step up.

The problem with combat in Morrowind is that it simultaneously measures player skill and character skill. Chance-to-hit works when the character does the aiming and gap-closing for you. When you have to handle that with poor depth perception and you have chance-to-hit on top of that, it’s always going to feel like garbage.

In the legal system, far more things get reversed due to procedural issues than on merit. Generally, this is a good thing. A judge should not be able to hand out punishment on a whim.

As with most protections, fascists destroy the ones that limit them and cling to those that benefit them.

They didn’t make another because they were forced to make a game that was Wonder Woman and live service. How does that work? Clearly they didn’t know either since they spun their wheels for like seven years, lost all their old staff, and then got shut down.

Summary: They were seeing a disconnect between Arkham Asylum player stats and sales, indicating a large portion of the playerbase blasting through the game then selling it back to retailers. WB studios were directed to explore ways to lengthen player engagement, preferably enough to keep the game forever.

The nemesis system gives some light procedural flair to an otherwise-deaigned experience. I don’t think it did what they hoped it would, but it was still a great mechanic.

“Recently” being one Reddit post three years ago about needing to manually index the color nozzles on their third-party ink.

A YouTuber hyped it up as Brother turning to the dark side so that he could profit off clicks.
