It’s even more pathetic than that. They aren’t just expressing their will to play the game, they are asking for approval despite it. It’s similar to the “nothing personal” disclaimer which is usually followed by something with significant personal disruption.

Most honestly expressed, they’d be, “I’m doing/about to do something that impacts you negatively, please don’t retaliate against me because I don’t like it when negative things happen to me.”

Edit: just noticed the commenter you replied to reversed the original saying and agrees with you.

They must have found one in the bargain bin.

I get what you’re saying, but this isn’t an example of that. The three sisters provided benefits to each other while growing simultaneously.

Shit, you’re right, she’s probably some kind of doppleganger, so it’s important to act natural and pretend you’re not suspicious. And being a doctor, there’s a high probability the doppelganger will want to steal your body even if it doesn’t think its cover is blown.

So instead of asking period questions, the best thing you could say in this situation is something like, “oh right, I told the nurse to barge in here randomly in the next 30 seconds, but this medical issue requires utmost privacy for at least 5 minutes, so I will go tell the nurse to leave us alone and make sure everyone else leaves us alone until we can properly deshoot your arm.”

Of course, a doppleganger doesn’t need to kill you to steal your likeness, so it might be in your best interest to have an alibi for the foreseeable future and come up with codewords for your family.

Yeah fair, kinda funny how implied tone can work when reading things. On my first read, for some reason I took the “skill issue” as more playful but on second read, who knows.

Playful banter or a deadly duel of words?

I can’t see how their reply was combative if yours wasn’t in the first place. Coming out of nowhere to protect AWS’s honour or something?

RAM is a resource that works best when you have more than you need. I always want there to be some unused RAM because then my system can do anything it needs to without spending time swapping out the least recently used pages before it has any free ones to use.

Shitty programs that take GBs of memory to do things that should only need MBs or KBs of it isn’t “getting my money’s worth out of my computer”.

If someone claims to not have any pronouns, always refer to them by their name.

No, “Hi Jeff, how was your day? Did you pick up your package?”

It’s, “Hi Jeff, how was Jeff’s day? Did Jeff pick up Jeff’s package?”

If you don’t know their name, make up a descriptive one, be creative!

The connectors on the back of the TV can be oriented horizontally (like parallel to the screen, not perpendicular), which at least changes the pull force to a torque force, which isn’t ideal but easier to hold on to.

Iirc you can create custom syntax highlighting formats for notepad++. So if it’s not there by default, someone else might have made a file for it, or you can start making one yourself, as the format was easy to understand. It’s been like a decade since I’ve used it, but it should be somewhere in the menus.

To be fair, it’s about other things, too. Like Jenny’s character’s arc had nothing to do with that part.

Lol

Cause: No one knows.

Treatment: Tell the patient to stop worrying about it.

Like for instance, when epic came out with their exclusive access titles being a part of their business plan, valve could have responded with their own exclusive access system and had a good chance of killing off epic and others in the process. Instead they just ignored it and people like me continued using them and didn’t even consider epic even when their anticompetitive actions switched to ones that would have benefitted me (free games), because I could see the shithole they wanted to bring gaming to if their platform achieved dominance.

I’m sure there’s plenty of other reasons to not steal a tesla. It being a mobile surveillance device being one of them. Also, if I was going to steal a car, I’d pick one with better build quality and one that doesn’t have a different fire exit than the normal way to exit that I’d probably be going for if my car was suddenly on fire.

Yeah, a lot of programs will likely run fine. The common issues will be solved. But the subtle ones will be frustrating. Plus I worry about a situation where apps target x64 and run on ARM but aren’t supported on ARM, kinda like what we’ve got with games on linux right now.

Some people say they love disco. But I have to ask: what is love?

This problem is far more difficult to solve than x64 windows apps running on x64 linux.

While x64 and ARM are both turing complete and thus anything one can do, the other can also do, there can be subtle differences to the way they do them.

Like one I’m aware of is the atomicity of loading memory using a co-processor register, which is required for accessing thread local storage, and introduces a subtle race condition if someone uses user mode multithreading (which can be way faster than kernel mode multithreading) without handling the case where they get preempted between moving that register’s value and doing the load, and end up running on a different kernel thread when they get back (because you need one kernel thread per core). That thread would end up with the pointer for another thread’s thread local storage, which tends to break things pretty badly.

That’s just one that I’m aware of. There’s probably tons of other subtle differences that mean you can’t just have a map of “x in x64 means y in ARM” and use that to generate a compatible binary. It would probably run, but it would have bugs that the original doesn’t that are only seen in rare edge cases.

Not that I want to discourage this effort, but this is a problem an order of magnitude or two more difficult than the one proton solved, which was essentially just a bunch of wrappers that convert one API or OS behaviour to another equivalent one.

You can emulate it by opening up your mouse and carefully ripping all of the button switches other than the left one out. Then go into your BIOS, underclock your CPU (or alternatively, go to the store you got your computer or parts from and just give them more money).

Then get some plaster and just cover up most of the ports on the back of your computer. Don’t worry, you’ll replace them with dongles, there’s a nice selection available for purchase!

Then uninstall proton and go around claiming that your computer is the only one that can handle making art (doesn’t matter if you’re an artist, just smugly insist this is the case).

Oh also forget that your computer is a computer. I don’t know what you need to think it is, but only nerds use computers, you’re not a nerd, you’re cool because you’re on a mac. Or pretending to be on one.

Japanese?

Have they even given a potential price yet?
