Edit: sorry for waking a necrothread. I was unprepared for how stale some posts are in this community.
Don’t forget: all those discs have a “write protect” switch on 'em! Can’t be too careful.
In reality, it’s sometimes appropriate to set the bar at “tamper evident”. Basically: did someone fuck with the data while nobody was looking? If the goods are just missing, or the enclosure is forced open (breaking it), you can reasonably answer that question.
Oh that’s awful. Who the fuck does this?!

Ah. Telco. That tracks.
I know that Windows does this and the pointer grows a modest amount.
This… this feature just reeks of typical coder shenanigans, and I’m here for it. It’s a green flag since someone thought enough about every contingency on a very niche feature.
What I think happened here is: an ideal size couldn’t be agreed upon by the team, they just made the cursor grow forever until you’re done shaking. That and someone involved has an absolutely stupid number of pixels in front of them and needed that much more cursor to get the job done.
It’s the kind of thing that - in the era before cameras in every pocket - just says: “I dare you to explain this to your friends.” Of course you can’t without sounding like you’re masking three fetishes and/or vividly hallucinating.

You mean, like this?
It’s probably hungry, feed it a mouse.
That’s the neat part. If you have snakes indoors somewhere, it’s probably because you already have mice. Mr. nope-noodle there is just taking up residence at the buffet.
Multiply this by everyone in the engineering department and you have SAFe on planning day.
the last value will be the return
This is the one thing that I really dislike about Rust. All this talk about safety and the return value/expression reads like a typeo w/o a semicolon. It even has return anyway since there are lots of scenarios that’s needed for an optimal path.
They named a sandwich after me!
Am I the only one that wonders what goes on a “Riker”?
Shatire.
You just know that was tossed around Colbert’s writer’s room, before they decided that might wind up with them off the air sooner.
Ixion had me at the trailer. Not many games or movies hold that kind of sway over me, and I was so richly rewarded for giving it a shot.
My only frustration with the game is how low replay-ability is, and how the overall plot is fixed. You can make some different decisions along the way, but you’re not going to impact the story all that much.
Thank you for posting this. I’ll have to check this out - I slept on this for all this time. You don’t see many scenario-style games… ever? The fixed timer and resources sound like quite the challenge.
Also, the starbase has a bustling economy based on espionage, holodeck porn, yamok sauce, and self-sealing stembolts. This happens even though nobody needs money anymore, and nobody in Starfleet gets paid.
I was gonna say. This meme needs an “upgrade”.
I’m kind of similar in that I basically always “subclass” as a kleptomaniac.
That game is near impossible to control. The fact that you were able to get enough of a lead to do donuts* is just mind-blowing to me.
* - Or as I recently learned, in the Midwest they call this “whipping a shitty” which seems appropriate here.
Last I checked, the OSX native libraries use ObjectiveC and have system library calls prefixed with
ns_. So, “used as the foundation” is under-selling it a bit. I think they just re-skinned the NextStep GUI to make it resemble OS9 and called it a day.
