Oh, I did grow up before video games were a thing, so I am aware of how CRTs worked. You just made it sound like CRTs would somehow provide tactile feedback while gaming, which I couldn’t place at all, given the context.

You share a room with the maid?
If I look at something that I don’t understand but that a large group of people clearly values very highly, trained experts in the field included, my first instinct is not to form a dismissive opinion based on personal preference. I’ll typically try to find whatever is hidden from me upon first glance. You clearly adopted a different strategy.
How did you arrive at the conclusion that your judgement of art is ultimately meaning-, or even insightful?
I wrote some allocators for IBM’s JVM eons ago, I get that. As much as I hate Java, I wish it would be related this time.
Unfortunately, I was talking about the Joe Rogan Experience.
Deezer also doesn’t host JRE and they didn’t provide a platform for literal nazis, so advantages all around.

Sure. In my opinion, however, the overall context of the image does imply the jaguar enjoys similar effects to those clearly requiring the presence of DMT, as that is what is most people commonly associate with ayahuasca.
It’s a bit of a “look at all those animals getting high, this jaguar is even talking to machine elves in the 19th dimension” kinda thing, where - if I remember correctly - they actually consume the leaves for digestive purposes.
Again, the leaves do have an effect, e. g. they apparently act as an SSRI (that’s how common antidepressants work) and we can’t be absolutely sure about their effect on cats (catnip certainly has some effect on cats we don’t readily enjoy), so I can’t dismiss the notion of jaguars seeking them out for that reason as well.
Jaguars actually eat the leaves of b. capii, which acts as a MAOI in the Ayahuasca brew.
While there is some discussion that the harmala alkaloids in b. capii might also be slightly psychoactive in high doses, the actual main compound in Ayahuasca is DMT, which is certainly very psychoactive, but not bioavailable when consumed orally without a MAOI. Unless the jaguars have figured out how to combine the two and/or brew ayahuasca, I strongly doubt that’s their intention and that they’d get comparable effects.
I think the idea stems from the BBC show Weird Nature showing a jaguar eating yage leaves in episode 6, “Peculiar Potions”.
I’m not really sold on how well that content was researched.
It is, probably. But I did a check before I posted and it did display content from Lemmy. Just pointing out alternatives here.
I think Fedilab should do both:
That dude is joking of course, but touching someone in a subtle manner can be used to both express and indicate interest.
If all else fails, entangle him with silk and consume him.
Yeah, in general, that’s true. Unfortunately, that’s not the whole truth, as usual. I found these sites helpful:

IMHO, there is too much legal fragmentation and a discrepancy between the federal classification and the treatment of e-bikes as regular bikes. I also prefer the slower speed limits and simplified classification most EU member states adopted (15mph, 250W continuous motor power)
I lift and I sew. Fuck that noise, you do you.
Yeah, but that is already illegal in 90% of the places, which makes it an issue not really related to the concept of an e-bike.
I have been living in Europe for quite a while now, and e-bikes here are limited to about 15mph, e-scooters can go up to 12mph. While you can buy modding kits just fine, I haven’t seen a single modded bike in regular traffic in the last 9 years.
There are higher powered devices that can legally go faster, but that means you need a helmet and a license plate.
Let’s not claim that e-bikes and cargo e-bikes do not make a huge difference in cities and rural areas (for completely different reasons). It’s legislation and enforcement of the existing laws that suck, not the idea of a vehicle that can assist its driver.
Yeah, that’s the implication. Unfortunately, that is also misleading people into believing they might get a well-tested, nearly bug free game.
Just in case you’re not in on the joke:
Glad to hear that you found a position where your work experience is enjoyable and compatible with your desired life style. Given your last sentence, I hope you can see how the legislation mentioned here could potentially help people who have not yet been so lucky to achieve that.
At 7h / day of just testing, 200k hours amount to approximately 110 years, given 260 working days per year.
Veilguard has been in development for around 9 years, so thats about 12 “years of testing per year”, so pretty much at least 12 people doing nothing else but testing (this assumes sane working conditions - hi EA!)
Given how long the game has been in development, what does that number even mean? How much of the stuff they wrote 9 years ago is still in place, given that players would expect the technological advancements available since 2015.
Also, it’s supposed to be released end of October, I believe? Or has it been postponed even further (again)? Anyway, why would they claim something like that before release? That will probably backfire.
Jokes on you, I look her up once a year to see what she ended up doing. I’m 100% her name is Danielle.
