I don't even understand how he expects this to work in theory.

(A) $1/year payments are going to have ridiculous percentage of finance charges.

(B) What bot owner can't afford this? And that's before you consider things like spoofed credit cards.

More of this nonsense. By the way they describe it, you'd almost think that receiving advice is as traumatic as war.

@interfluidity Those who think technology can fix humanity haven't had enough experience with humans.

@cmorris Uh, this is not at all what I learned in school. I was taught that men were far more likely to be hunters because it was a dangerous job and men were more expendable (because they don't bear children), and pregnant women needed to stay behind in safety.

Not that "men evolved to be physically superior" and hunted "to the exclusion of women". That sounds like something from a religious textbook.

@mbonsma So, great, there are no cars nearby, but you just trampled Mrs. Henry's flower bed, caused a bicycler to have to swerve and run into a fence, and then fell down a manhole and broke both legs.

Watch where you're going.

@astro_jcm May your spread between temperature and dew point be wide!

Google: "We've heard your unprecedented outcry about our decision to sell the beloved Google Domains to a subpar company. In response, we've now decided to sell Google Fonts to Ubisoft. From now on, you'll be able to find all of your favorite fonts on UbiFonts .com for only $19.49 per font per year. Keep bitching and we'll sell Maps to Elon."

@jeffowski The house that gives books instead of candy is definitely getting egged.

@SecurityWriter That's true, the game incentivizes finding everything through multiple visits, or repetition, than all at once, or "before moving on."

That said, though, I thought I had learned everything in single player... but when I switched to the multiplayer, I discovered how wrong I was. There were hidden paths I hadn't even imagined.

The game has also gotten some nice content and quality-of-life updates (it was pretty janky on release), including new expanded endings, so if you're looking for something to scratch that itch, it may be worth revisiting.

@SecurityWriter Also a big fan of those games.

If you like those, I highly recommend "Deathloop". It's also a game that's essentially a puzzle solved by killing virtual people just right, but it's got a second layer that provides infinite replayability once you've learned every nook and cranny of the maps: an online asymmetric cat-and-mouse hunt where you put the skills you've mastered in single-player against another human.

I usually can't stand online gaming, but I can't get enough of this one.
