Maybe the guards just administer some additional unprovoked beatings to the inmate to ensure they aren't in a physical state to parkour over the wall

The whole idea of a franchise is so people can get the same menu at the same quality at the same price no matter where they are. Having dynamic pricing means you can't even be assured of the price at a single location, let alone being in a new city with an unfamiliar restaurant.

If you don't know what you are going to be able to buy with your $5, then might as well go to someplace different.

Give Hive Time a go. It has been a while since I played it in its early days but it was a fun bee hive management game.

The author is quite a fan of bees so I imagine he has done them justice.

You don't need to hack anything, you can use Binfmt_misc to tell the kernel how to load windows binaries

Lucille, is that you?

Which signals to investors that there is little to no expected growth. If you aren't attracting new customers to grow your user base, then you only have the option to milk your existing customers to increase revenue.

That may work short term, but long term it signals a death knell for the company, since as the old customers retire or the studios close down, the new crop of game developers would have been trained on or adopted a different engine so aren't going to switch to Unity. Eventually they just run out of customers.

While watching this there were a few times where I thought "Hey, this actually looks really good", then I realised that was the RTX off shot. The RTX on shots just didn't do it for me as much as they did for games like Quake 2.

I think that HL2 just already had great baked lighting that adding ray tracing doesn't make it feel much different.

I'm jealous of that download speed. Took me an hour to download and during that time my wife decided we had to go out for dinner. So now I don't get to play until after work tomorrow 😔

Known issues: sometimes race conditions can cause instability in the system

Zekenskyy should play a reverse Uno card and "invade" Russia at that point. Start rebuilding a better, more democratic Soviet Union. But I would want Putin to be alive at that point so he can see others succeed where he failed, by doing the complete opposite of him.

Jonathan the zombie is going to be very unhappy about this ☚ī¸

This is my biggest reason for not buying the latest gen consoles. They lean heavily towards digital downloads, and I want to be able to unpack the console in 20 years for nostalgia and play a game without worrying if the game store is still available to download it.

There are physical disc versions, but I get the feeling even there the games won't work out of the box without and internet connection to the online server/store

If you boot to an Ubuntu iso, you can use arch-chroot to set up everything you need correctly. Done this many times when I borked my Arch boot process

Depends on where you live I guess. In my country (not USA), no matter where you go all franchises of major chain restaurants have exactly the same prices. Having worked adjacent to the fast food industry in my country and dealing with the brand owners, price and consistency is very important, not only for their customer satisfaction, but also it made the marketing material easier.

Ironically, when I worked in this industry, part of the appeal of the company that I worked for is we allowed dynamic pricing exactly like what Wendy's is proposing. The brand owners rejected the idea because marketing felt it would confuse customers, and technical didn't want to do it because consolidating the incoming data and and standardising the POS data across franchises was a nightmare.

If it wasn't for the eBay reference, I would assume we lived in the same country

It is all true in the Country I live in. And the other Countries I have visited.

I guess not all Countries are the same, and forget that people in the US think everyone else is also from the US.
