'Spine Spoon' ~ Wooden spoon carved in Mahogany wood with dried rose thorns.

One of the first spoons I carved. Having previously worked in a wholesale rose greenhouse I collected dried thorns in a tin can. 30 years later... started making use of them.

this was just a Normal way for 70% of the pop to talk back then.Mmy 8th grade teacher handed out Iraqi most wanted playing cards, lunch menu called them freedom fries, and we had a recruiter and booth in our cafeteria 2-3x a week. In 2002 we we had to be pen pals with soldiers in afg

I still think the most concise way to explain the iraq war is a Thomas Friedman interviews on 60 minutes like 3 weeks into the war. Just like perfectly conveys elite and popular sentiment at the time. Im pretty sure the psychopathic speech john travolta gives in swordfish is based on it lol

There was a lot of crankery anti war stuff at the time but that was also congruent with the movement not believing saddam had wmds

wmds wasnโ€™t even really even for domestic audience, like obviously it was consumed domestically and they fanned those flames it but that was mostly aimed internationally at our partners

[1980/90's game dev, interview in GamersMagazine]

it took months of brainstorming but we finally figured out a
solution, set the bullet's arc and the gun's rgb the same value,
allowed us to save 1.5kb, making the game's launch possible
on these new powerful systems



[modern game dev, discord patch notes]

* memory leak and crash [FIXED] 
       -A small number of users experienced memory leak and
        game crashing approximately 15 minutes after making
        their first move 
       -Now when you launch the game a second full copy of the
        game launches in the background, approximately 14:55:59
        minutes after your first move the 1st copy auto saves and
        the second copy auto loads that save and closes the first.
        This repeats every 14 minutes

Control is only like 40gb! The problem isnt that we dont have the technology, its that we arenโ€™t constrained by it

Like im you could add 20gb easy but hard drive value wise it seems like a good deal? Like i think Minecraft resource packs would hit 1gb per pack regularly

I havent fucked with bg3 mods but i sorta doubt much? Seems like most of the mods are pretty limited and arenโ€™t overhaul mods reskinning the entire city etc

220gb if you want hdr because theres not any way to get hdr without the 4k files and I have like one of the only decent 1440p hdr monitors.

You might be able to delete the text files but that might give you problems with the launcher not sure. I think its normally like 150?

Have been playing aoe4 and its a lot of fun that will probably only stay installed for another 2 weeks because its 220 GB (!!) and thats just not worth the hard drive space to play it 5 hours every month for the next 6 months

In general I support anti-monopoly efforts but I do worry that if Steam ever lost its monopoly Gaben would stop funding the development of hypersonic ultraphysics just to get the crowbar swing motion perfect for HL3. Not sure if humanity can take that risk tbh.

I dont know how true it is and it feels like one of those things that sounds true but utterly divorced from reality but ive heard its partially due to aaa games concluding youre unlikely to reinstall and they want to keep you invested in their game by making it take up an 10% of your hd

How does Valve decide what to work on?
The same way we make other decisions: by waiting for
someone to decide that it's the right thing to do, and then
letting them recruit other people to work on it with them.
We believe in each other to make these decisions, and this
faith has proven to be well-founded over and over again.

I also wonder how much this is due to steam basically discovering a money printer two decades ago and then not really being a real company since and just kinda hires people and gives them salaries and then its just like a severance deal of sre guys making sure the numbers dont look sad

What if we looked at their monitor and didnโ€™t download the 4k texture files if 4k resolution isnโ€™t supported and freed up 50 gigs that way
