This video I just watched the other day says otherwise (with clear evidence.)
Why do handsome men always pose with their art? The art should be the focus. We get it, you're beautiful, but let the art stand for itself. This is just upvote fishing. /s
Witcher 1 was weird, but I finished it just a few years ago. The combat is half automatic. Like, if you get a dodge skill it just means that when an enemy attacks, "Dodge" might appear above your head more often as enemies attack you. You dont actually dodge anything.
Geralt just swings his sword like crazy (automatically) and numbers appear above the enemies to indicate damage. It's a constant stream of numbers. And you press buttons once in a while to cast spells, change combat style, or do special moves. At least I think you manually trigger special moves. It's been a while.
If you watch this video on YouTube, you'll see what I mean. None of the sword slashes involve pressing a button. They just happen.
I thought it was worth playing. Janky, yes, but worth playing. I played 1 and 2 before playing 3.
If Lemmy loves anything, it's A.I. (/s) so here you go:
Summary
The article discusses the challenges faced by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, particularly following the resignation of Health Secretary Matt Hancock due to a scandal. Amidst political turmoil, Johnson attended a gathering with wealthy Conservative party donors, where they expressed dissatisfaction with his cabinet and economic policies. The event was organized by Ben Elliot, the Conservative party's co-chair, who has been instrumental in fundraising for the party. Elliot, known for his connections with the wealthy elite, has transformed the party's fundraising culture, emphasizing access to government in exchange for donations. Johnson, who struggles with personal finances, relies on Elliot to maintain the party's financial health as they prepare for the next election.
Johnson's financial struggles are compounded by his recent divorce and the costs associated with his lifestyle, including a controversial renovation of the Downing Street flat. He initially sought to set up a charitable trust to cover the renovation costs but ultimately paid out of pocket. The article highlights Elliot's role in securing significant donations for the Conservative party, particularly from property developers, and his influence over party finances. Despite recent controversies, Elliot's fundraising strategies have been effective, and Johnson is expected to benefit financially after leaving office through lucrative speaking engagements. The article concludes by noting that while Johnson's personal finances are precarious, he has a capable ally in Elliot to manage the party's financial needs.
Some figures:
£17.9m Amount that donors with property interests and links to development have given the Conservative party since Johnson became prime minister
£275,000 Annual earnings as a columnist at The Daily Telegraph, penning articles on a weekly basis
£4,250 Monthly rental income from Grade II-listed cottage in Thame, Oxfordshire
At least £88,000 Amount Johnson received as an advance for his book ‘Shakespeare: The Riddle of Genius’
£250,000 Exact amount eight Tory donors gave in 2020
£37.4m Amount the Tory party raised in ‘large’ donations in the year running up to Johnson’s 2019 victory
£2.7m Johnson’s outside earnings over his eight years at City Hall
£1.2m Purchase price of Johnson and Symonds’ house in Camberwell, south London
£157,372 Prime minister’s annual salary
£830,000 Amount Johnson earned in his last year as a backbench MP before becoming prime minister
£450,000 Earnings for 21 hours of public speaking in just over seven months in 2018-19
£58,000 Donation from Tory patron Lord Brownlow, allegedly to pay for Downing Street refurbishments
Notable quotes
- “They’re fed up with all this state intervention,” reflecting the donors' frustrations with Johnson's economic direction.
- “Ben squeezes the pips from the donors,” describing Elliot's aggressive approach to fundraising.
- “Boris would come down and complain about how much it was all going to cost,” highlighting Johnson's concerns about the renovation expenses.
- “I suspect he wishes sometimes he hadn’t got involved at all. Boris is quite demanding,” indicating the challenges Elliot faces in managing Johnson's financial issues.
- “His financial problems will be sorted out in a week after he leaves office,” suggesting confidence in Johnson's future financial success post-premiership.
I highly doubt it was the code. They probably reduced texture and background fidelity and compressed the cutscenes heavily. It's simply impossible to reduce a codebase by 91% and have it still be recognizable. However, the N64 had better hardware and it's possible that some code could be eliminated because the chips had features that made them code not needed. But not nearly 686 MB worth.
Obviously this wasn't the same thing I was talking about but I refuse to search further.
That's exactly the thing you were talking about.
Use m-dashes and no spaces, and you'll be doing it right. The m-dash—which look like this—is the appropiate punctuation for this purpose.
I absolutely detest that kind (the kind who writes a giant parenthetical in the middle if their sentence before one or two words at the end. Just put the fucking parenthetical after the sentence! jfc) of person.

I can do the same thing. It's fun!
I just wish my tonal range were higher. Some app I just installed says my high is C7 and my low is G#5. What's that... An octave and a little?

But that doesn't indicate the range where it sounds the best.
I can focus my eyes to different distances without using the finger trick, which comes in handy never.
I'm assuming you're talking about convergence. When your eyes are physically turning inward to align on a nearby object, that's called convergence. Focusing is what your lenses do, although the technical term is "accommodation".
I'm excellent at controlling convergence, too. I can be looking at my phone screen (like right now) and diverge my eyes just enough to make neighboring letters overlap. Or diverge them so much I see two phone screens entirely. Or anything in between. Same with converging and going cross-eyed.
I can even diverge my eyes slightly further than parallel, making individual stars in the night sky look like two stars. But not by a lot. Looking at me, you'd probably just think was looking in the distance. I can't make my eyes look in different directions like a chameleon.
This does have one handy use: I can see those Magic Eye posters at will, in a split second, even across the room!

That's funny. Because unlike WoT, I loved Fallout. The bad acting was part of the schtick.
