Also I moved into an area where there is less snow, but when we get it it almost always starts as rain.... Then snow... Which melts on the pavement.... And eventually the pavement hits zero and all that water turns to ice.

Now you have snow on ice, which is awful.

Where I grew up is exactly how you described it though. Generally fresh snow is fine if the road was previously plowed / treated with gravel or deicer / salt.

My mom would also suggest a heavy blanket, and maybe a candle / matches / lighter. But the candle could cause a fire if you aren't careful.

This might not be super useful if you don't write code but I always found the contest submissions fun to read and try to figure out for the https://www.underhanded-c.org/ contest.

They break down and explain the runner up and finalist for each year and how the attack works. It's usually something very subtle that most people wouldn't catch.

Iirc that rule was followed here.... The cam was to let you know when the fresh pot was ready?

That explains why I see coupons more and more. Ty.

On top of that they can import your wishlist from Steam. You can set a threshold / price on each game, and they will let you know anytime something is below that price.

You know what's fascinating about that?

I'm pretty sure that every CD had the entire game and all the art assets for every town / place you could enter on the world map. Every enemy. All the music.

The only difference between each CD was the FMV cutscenes contained on them.

At least that was the story / rumor at the time. For optimization they could have reduced the art assets and music to only areas you could enter at that point in the game, and only enemy models you would see, but supposedly that wasn't the case.

You're comparing a 2d custom engine. Which admittedly you wouldn't expect to have multiple os support...but it's built on allegro, which is open source c++.

To a 3d game in Unreal Engine 5, which stresses even the best systems running dedicated gpus on windows. Do many macs offer dedicated gpus these days?

Yeah what a badly written article, with awful takeaways.

Hard agree..... One of the most polished early access games I've played in a long time. I've started over at least 3 or 4 times now. Sometimes single player. Sometimes multi-player. Can't wait tor 1.0.

Looking forward to finally learning what the few WIP (work in progress) things will actually do....

That's right OP, the correct order is to reduce, reuse, and then recycle.

If you feel you can reduce use, or reuse any of the things listed. Please try that first!

While you're forced to use ticketmaster you can still avoid installing their app via https://am.ticketmaster.com/

 

Would love to have the option to mark as read after voting.

Or maybe it's an option in the Lemmy account? Haven't found it though.
