Minesweeper is notorious for having some luck to it.

There's guess-free versions that guarantee solvable games. There's also ones that automatically place a mine on the clicked tile if you take an unnecessary guess. Personally I really like https://davidnhill.github.io/JSMinesweeper with only "Fast mode" (and optionally "No guess") enabled and everything else off.

Does it make sense to blur names when they're still relatively easy to decipher, when the project can be found on github and the top committer links to their Twitter account? 🤔

I want a comic about a friendly android who finds humor in spooking humans with red eyes (and other things).

Don't forget the fact that this is all started by horny plants who only dress up nicely and offer sweets to allure innocent little bees because dirty as they are plants want bees to touch their genitalia to smear pollen all over their bodies as the little ones fly from plant to plant, exchanging pollen by means of a never ending bukkake.

I'd say blind and ignorant have very different meanings.

Being blind to something means you are unable to register it, you might be searching for it but can't find it even though it's right in front of you, it's a sensory thing. Even being blind to social cues is a sort of sensory thing.

Being ignorant means you can see it but, perhaps due to a lack of open mindedness, decide that it is something else or assign incorrect characteristics to it even though eg measurements have shown different things. This could be due to a lack of trust, an agenda, or something else entirely.

Both of them make it difficult for you to learn the truth, but the causes and problems you experience are different.

I just checked. My own pooper is more or less halfway between my booper and my feet. So ~~since I am a rept~~ if I were a reptile I would be measured only half my current human size.

I've heard that for people to be teachable they have to feel safe. Feeling afraid makes your body enter a defensive stance and this includes not only resisting harm but also resisting knowledge transfer. I assume that's why people who struggle with a subject at school sometimes have a difficult time catching up even when with tutoring.

It would then be similar to how you can't convince a stranger who believes in wrong things - controversial topics cause stressful situations and when you're seen as an enemy their brain goes into a defensive mode, distrusting you and not letting new information in. You first have to build up a certain level of trust and mutual understanding.

Maybe that's nothing new. Either way, this picture reminded me of that.

Yes all life will perish, but the earth itself will continue.

Why would all life perish? From what I've heard and read about nuclear disaster exclusion zones, humans disappearing tends to make space for other forms of life that had previously been displaced by cities full of humans and such. To my understanding long time life probably won't care about anything for the next few million years.

Short term many or most humans might die or suffer. I don't think it's easy to predict how fragile humankind is, civilization may crumble. I doubt all of humankind will be gone in a thousand years, though I wouldn't bet against a semi "post apocalyptic" future.

Of course! TTD and Locomotion were developed by the same person. From my understanding Locomotion is closer to the Roller Coaster Tycoon engine and UI. Also I think I remember reading an interview in which Chris Sawyer said Locomotion had the cleanest code out of the three.

On that note, considering the original engines are similar I wonder if OpenRCT2 and OpenLoco have any big similarities in the code base as well...

I never played the game but watched some trailers and gameplay videos. I'm 99% certain that Helldivers 2 is following the Starship Troopers formula and purely making fun of patrionism, propaganda, war, the military, military personnel, "freedom", heroism, politics and military advertisements and turning that into a game. There's just so many obvious signs, it seems impossible to miss. In other words, it is a political game. Or maybe I just really don't get either of the two.

If the internet has taught me anything then that wires going up between a womans legs aren't for audio equipment.
