I don’t know if I’d say it’s the best 3D platformer I’ve ever played, but it was definitely a much-needed breath of fresh air in a genre that does not get nearly enough love from the AAA scene.

And it’s definitely the prettiest platformer I’ve ever played (so far).

Hard to know if the patent is expired when they haven’t even officially announced which ones they plan to bring forward in the suit.

The only info I was aware of so far is that there were multiple claims they were making.

It really is like a feudal system. There’s a reason why the HBO series Succession is framed like the politics between a lord, his heirs, and his vassals.

Definitely not a Valve W though.

I have no idea how some people can worship a corporation so strongly.

Apologies for the Xitter link, but it looks like the main character Atsu is being portrayed by Erika Ishii.

We don’t need to start from Hobbes

Recommends Hobbes as a starting point

I agree 100% but just had a bit of a giggle

Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?

Guessing this is why they changed the term “Apple ID” to “Apple Account”

It’s just incentive for developed nations to produce more automated weapons of war.

I don’t get it. I am trying to reverse push it with my palm but every time I move my hand back the door doesn’t come with it.

My gut had me wanting to say the same thing, but looking at the age ranges, this actually seems reasonable and in line with how many other countries operate. By 6 years old, students in the US are in first grade, for example. Kindergarten a year or two prior as well, which is also compulsory in some states.

Sure, but also worth noting that some prisons are federally run, a state wouldn’t have the jurisdiction to ban something that the fed controls. That is why reform needs to come from the top, not just at the state level.

Agreed

Not a battery but sure, that’s what I was suggesting.

I think the text is pretty direct about permitting it. If it is listed as an exception to that which shall not exist, then it is explicitly allowed to exist.

It’s not a de-facto exception by omission, it is named as permissable within the text of the amendment.

So what other kind of battery would a pager be using that might explode if not lithium? Hydrogen cell?

Sadly the post-civil war amendments include a provision that allows prisoners to be used for unpaid labor.

From the text of the 13th amendment:

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Only argument is if the party has been “duly” convicted, which is a recurring issue we see with the US justice system.

Riiiiiiight. Just like Google’s own AI results are completely accurate.

Definitely any of the showerthoughts communities

Exactly. I remember early days of smartphones before a lot of the safety precautions we have today were implemented, where we saw tons of videos of batteries spontaneously combusting. They expand, there’s a pop, and then a small burst of flame that will ignite anything it touches, like your pants, tables they’re sitting on while charging, etc. You can get pretty badly burned if this happens while it’s in your pocket.

It’s just that the videos that have come out of these pagers shows an actual explosion, as if they had been packed with C4. Enough to instantly kill some people with them on their person and harm adjacent passerbys.
