To put it a different way, centaurs have 6 limbs. I think it’s not so much about making creatures out of the “missing” parts as much as it is swapping which part is the horse and which part is the human, so these also still have 6 limbs.

I’m assuming it’s to make sure there’s not long waits to try them. Giving a set number of tokens to visitors means they can roughly control the amount of time someone spends with those games. One person can’t just buy 100 coins and spend all day on the same game.

Could have just done a ticketing system reserved in advance with fixed time blocks, though. But then your museum tour is on a schedule.

Only available until the end of the month. After that, you’re stuck finding secondhand copies at huge markups from GameStop and similar.

Definitely counts as abandonware in my book.

But having the ability to downvote bigots gives me a feeling of catharsis…

Oh no. It’s too late. These people have all been infected. They may look fine now, but it’s a matter of time before they turn into the undead.

I guess it could be said that Edge has an unfair…edge?

And only if the PS5 isn’t user 1’s home console, which if it is, the license extends to any other user on that console.

Glad I deleted PayPal ages ago.

Depends on where Clarence Thomas wants to go on vacation next, I think.

That’s the same conclusion I arrived at, but wasn’t 100% sure. Since the act of downloading a game and the act of obtaining/transferring licenses both require the console to be online, I couldn’t see what difference there would be to the user experience compared to before, even if the order it does those steps in is switched.

You’re fine if someone else pees on your pants.

Why can’t they just add a fall foliage biome already.

99% of it just comes from the same user so I ended up blocking them and no longer see any of it.

I didn’t want that outcome because I typically only block, like, scammers and bigots, but I’m just trying to curate my All feed and there was just so many moe posts divided across dozens of communities, it was like playing whack-a-mole.

I am trying to think of scenarios where this will screw with normal users because companies never do moves like this unless they’re after some sort of grift.

But I am not seeing it at present. Maybe I’m just too tired and my brain isn’t working, but if a game is downloaded digitally and the license comes with it, there’s effectively no difference. Take it offline, you still have the license, no issues.

The only potential impact I can think of is if you have two users on a console that is the home console for neither person, and both of them bought the same game digitally. User 1 downloads the game, the license comes with it, and they take the console offline. User 2 then uses the console, tries to play the game they own, and gets a license error because the console is offline and doesn’t know they own it and therefore it can only be played by the person who downloaded it. But I think that’s how it works already, since User 2 would still need the console to be online to import their licenses.

I guess ask the Romans about half of those.

The last time I saw a TIL about this sort of thing though it turned out that “Aluminum” was the original but some academics thought “Aluminium” sounded fancier. My understanding is that it relates to the oxide names, which in the case of aluminum is alumina, after which the -a is swapped for the -um, similar to how magnesium oxide is magnesia. But I’m too lazy to fact check.

Also Molybdenum exists too, so it’s not like Aluminum would be the one exception that is just -um and not -ium.

The Ted Kaczynski signature on the bottom is sending me.

I once had this pizza topped with tortellini, glorious.

But I also like the burrito pizza the place down the street from me makes, they use like a black bean base for the sauce and it’s so good.

Greek style pizza is otherwise the norm here and I generally prefer it to the charred mess that is “authentic” New York style pizza.

I will admit as a kid when I wanted tea I used to just fill a mug with water and stick it in the microwave for a minute.

That’s the thing, the answer for a lot of people in the US is no.

After coffee, the most common need for boiled water in US households is probably for pasta, and a kettle’s not really the tool for either of those.

People that do eat a lot of instant ramen or drink a lot of tea in the US are more likely to have electric kettles (as some people I know do) but most don’t eat ramen often enough and tea just isn’t as big here.

That’s what you think. He thrives on British English, so every time MS Word autocorrects colour to color or aluminium to aluminum, he is further sustained.
