I kinda really wish there was an option to skin the entirety of BB3 in a cutesy way like this so it would be a bit more reasonable to play in front of my toddler.

I guess you can get away with 7 if you play the 7s variant? Although probably barely.

There's something very charming about the complete lack of spikes.
Sometimes you'll see a miniature whose armour basically looks like they've welded a claymore to each arm and it's a little immersion breaking.

Love these minis what are they?

Find your base, stand with them, defend that stance.
Don't just abandon them because some populist bigot is using division to bolster support, you can't win that game.

Starmer would do well to learn from the lessons that America's left are failing to learn: chasing the right merely bolsters their support and makes your own base resent you.

If you want people to learn English, you incentivise it and you make it accessible, you don't demonise people for not being able to do it.

Love this, but it's a bit hard to read at this res, any chance of a higher res image?

If you've not played Hive (a tile based tabletop game) I highly recommend it, even my parents enjoy it and they really aren't game people.

But with that caveat aside, is it actually a game? Like... will it actually be a fun thing to do? Or will it just be like watching a TV show where you have to play with the remote control a lot?

I'm curious if you've ever used one of those configurable accessible controllers that let you use a bunch of plugged in buttons as opposed to a standard gamepad, and if so what your impressions of it were?

You can add &udm=14 to your Google url, there are probably a few plugins, read more here.

Is that usual? I don't think any of our designers really code, (although I am sure some of them can)

I know that dictionaries don't serialize nicely for unity's scriptable objects, so I am dubious.

Makes sense to me, easier to have a bit of a backup system on a level by level basis too if that's wanted.

It's a problem for those sites too, it doesn't do them many favours.
Maybe subscribers could be given a way to share a link to X(100, or 1000 or whatever) number of views, that would encourage subscription, curation/vitality.

This just demonstrates that the author neither understands the mechanism behind AI nor what copyright laws exist to do. @irishtimes.com should be ashamed to publish something so clearly not researched or reasoned about.

Look, humans eat at "all you can eat restaurants" therefore it's perfectly reasonable to pay for a meal, attach an industrial vacuum cleaner to their kitchens, suck out all the food, spill it into a trough of mixed slop and charge a fraction of the price to eat from it.

Yeah for sure not everything is going to have the same response and 100k is a lot of people.

That said, New York mustered 500,000 for their own Iraq war protest.
comment in response to

Though tbf, a lot of those people wouldn't have been Londoners and would have traveled in for the protest. Maybe that's not practical in America and they just protested somewhere else?

Also a Brit, genuinely surprised it's only 100,000 people.
For contrast there were 1.5 million people in London's Iraq war protest (2003, population 7.4 million) , New York has a population of 8.5 million.

AI bros think that the point of art is to create well rendered images and to have people be in awe of them for that. In the end copying of this one aspect of art causes them to create meaningless slop. The point of art is self expression which provokes empathy and thought and stimulates creativity.

Syndrome thought that the point of being a hero was to be able to perform the same superhuman feats as heros and to have people in awe of him for that. In the end copying this one aspect of heroism caused him to become a villain. The point of being a hero is to help people.

Ai image generating evangelists give real Syndrome from the Incredibles vibes.

After credits Easter egg scenes were a mistake and should never have happened.

I think it'd imagined it a bit like the jump between map view and random encounter that you'd get in e.g. Pokémon.
Except instead of a combat the encounter is a sort of weird 2d cut scene or puzzle.
But absolutely, not enjoying it is a very valid reason not to do that.
comment in response to
post
There's something quite charming about the 2d stuff, is there perhaps a dynamic to be explored where you switch between the two depending on the context of what is happening in game?

I have a toddler. We already own a ridiculous amount of children's books. On top of that we borrow a half dozen books for them every couple of weeks.
The cost of just buying them all and the space to store them all would just be daft.

Frequently see the argument " it's not like *you've* used a library since you were a school kid" which, even if that were true.. we haven't stopped making school kids. They still exist, need to read and have little money to spend on books.
