Bikes only have favored right of way in bike lanes; otherwise they are just another wheeled vehicle. When they crossed into the standard lane, they became governed by all the same laws/rules as the car. The car had the legal right-of-way to the lane and is not legally required to (nor would it be expected to) yield in…

The motorcycle would not have been coming in from the bike lane. A motorcycle owns its own lane and is far quicker than the cars around it. Should not compare the bike to the motorcycle..

Changing lanes requires yielding to traffic already in the lane.  They forced Waymo’s hand, but that’s not how right-of-way works.  Now a real driver might try to make an opening too, but that doesn’t mean that it’s safe or correct for a bicyclist to do that.

If I treated my financial fitness like my physical fitness, I would be living under a bridge drinking vodka out of a paper bag within a year.

i bought the game at launch and never felt burned by it. in fact i remember the guy saying “this is a single player game” pretty frequently. the hype went out of control and he maybe fed into it a bit too much, sure. but to call the guy a piece of shit is way harsh, and makes me think your just an ass. why would…

Most studios would just dump the game, and build a new one. Even games successful at launch rarely get the level of updates like this one did.

People overhyped the shit out of the game when they were four fucking people working on it. I don’t understand how people could be so surprised by the result. Stop overhyping shit. Every-fucking-game get overhyped and some people will get very vocal about the thing they imagine because it’s not what they wanted.

Anyway,…

I will never understand the childish anger of internet gamer bros. I get the social/cultural/political roots of it, I just can’t imagine being so angry over something so miniscule. I like to believe it’s just teenagers who don’t know any better, but it’s so often overemotional adult men. It blows my mind every time…

This is the perfect “kids today” moment, because kids today can see nudity with device in their pocket without any of the effort that old people like me had to go through.

“issues with the MAX 8.”

they could easily be millionaires by now

Ehh, I get what you’re saying, but frankly, it would be wasting talent for Tarn to work for some big developer.  Dwarf Fortress is a gem of a game, and it’s procedural elements could easily end up being the future of gaming.  For art and industry, you need outsiders making outlier products to have breakthroughs and…

6k a month certainly isn’t close to enough for any decent health insurance plan, and they’d be almost instantly bankrupted by a real medical emergency.

6k/mo for two people is ~36k/year each. That’s not “living large" anywhere in the US. It's liveable some places and barely scraping by in any major city.

I think the best way to feel about it is that it having graphics will sell it to a lot more people than just the ASCII mode, which is good for the Adams brothers, which in turn is good for anyone interested in continual development of the game.

That’s my plan. My fiance gets government healthcare because she’s on disability, and every few months she has to jump through massive bureaucratic hoops as they continually try to take it away from her (which will kill her).  I work in the games industry where there’s little-to-no stability, so putting her on my own…

I have no desire to play DF, I just don’t have the time and energy to get to the point of enjoying story generators, but I’ll definitely buy it because these guys deserve it. So much respect for what they have created even though it’s not for me.

Just wanna throw it out there that if you like this kind of thing, the best way to get more of it is to make sure the creators get paid. I *know* there’s some folks out there thinking “$6K/month, they’re living large!” but even for two people + associated other expenses, $6K/mo, depending on where you are, can be…

I’m not talking about overclocking GPUs in this article; I’m talking about benchmarking your graphics card so you can get a sense of how well your system performs on various settings and how well it performs, by default, compared to other graphics cards. I’ve stuck with synthetic benchmarks, since they’re easiest for…

Let me get this straight. You mention multiple methods of in-game monitoring, but fail to mention the most common and effective one (Afterburner/Rivatuner) WHILE HAVING IT IN YOUR OPENING IMAGE.
