Here's how I understand it:

Rogue-lite: has permanent upgrades that persist between runs.

Rogue-like: each run is unaffected by any previous run.

There was an old flash game called "You Only Live Once"

It's basically a rudimentary mario-like platformer. But once you die, the game just cuts to your funeral. Each time you load up the game again, it just shows time passing as your grave slowly ages and is forgotten.

Welp, I guess that's another game I'm never touching again.

That lurking feeling is actually just indigestion from your unceasing diet of pessimistic online dialogue and media. Go outside, enjoy the air and the wind, look someone in the eyes. It'll clear things right up.

A good audio setup makes a huge difference! But I wouldn't spend more than like 200 dollars if all you want is clean sound.

It looks like it shrank just from the picture. It doesn't even fill the hash brown slot

I can see this meme in my head

Your 💪 are my 🏰, your ❤️ is my 🌌

That track turning system looks... Failure prone..

Aside from it being a sales tactic, it's also just a strategy to memorize people's names. I use it often because I'm trying to be friendly, and I have slight face blindness.

People shopping on Amazon are already very likely to buy there. They don't have a great incentive to falsely inflate reviews for items that they are unaffiliated with

To be fair, there's nothing Twilight fans love more than roasting Twilight.

At least you can do a majority vote with three people

Familiarity with the product is often just a baseline for jobs like sales, especially if they have high turnover.

It's not a great sign about the work environment, so you may have dodged a bullet.

A guy broke both his arms, which made him angry and sad. But then his family helped him become happier. He told the story online and it made everyone else sad.

So, they finally admit they have an agenda, huh?

Ballet is manly even by modern standards. Those dudes are jacked as hell

From these comments, it seems pretty important to talk about kids before you get too serious with someone..

I thought this was a myth busters parody at first

No kidding. It's like trying to determine how rich I am by what percent of all the money I have. (it's 0%)

Never understood the leather/fur hate. But I'm also not vegetarian.

You'd be surprised how often I have CPU compatibility issues in Linux. Completely unheard of in windows as long as you have the processing power.

Hey, at least they got one thing right.

I hate /r/technology. Thanks for reminding me

Or why not use those ratchet latch things that you see on rollerskates and snowboarding boots?

Nongolfers rise up!

Mainstream internet today is ego-driven.

This stimulates my open-source free-use fetish

I'll tip like a buck sometimes, but only if I'm feeling like it. Certainly no obligation. USA

But all wizard books are scribbled in crayon

I would actually say that they tend to be considerably worse.

Check out JerryRigEverything. He does teardowns of pretty much every mainstream phone.

Voting isn't a chess game. I just vote to my ideals. I hope more people do, because it's the only way things will ever change, sans revolution.

I'm a compliance engineer, and I honestly love when ISO standards are goofy like this. The last one I contributed to required me to build a custom testing robot. Hopefully the voting committee doesn't notice the scotch tape and cardboard. Holding it together.

My favorite "viruses" were rotating the display upside down and changing the keyboard layout. But that was literally in middle school, not so much old school.

Perhaps not a meme colloquially, but I love the joke where you say "_______er? I hardly know her!"

Truly timeless.

Your coin? Are you renting the shopping cart?

Edit: TIL about European shopping cart rental

Would love a modern remake, now that the technology is better

Sheesh, can't say I'm surprised to see it go. Wishing the best for some of my favorite personalities.
