Dont' worry, the kids will learn about real algorythms when they grow up

If I am going to be completely honest, part of their outsourcing is why I waited until a few days ago to start the game.

Not because I knew, but because the initial screenshots and clips showed a very generic unreal engine level of graphics. With chromatic abberation everywhere, the exact same hair you see in every recent UE game, the same facial style that makes it easier to match mouth movements, and so on. Once I heard it actually had a good story I ended up putting in about ten hours in a day after I started. But they did suffer from outsourcing parts of the game.

Most people have absolutely zero idea about the access they had and what they could have copied.

Is there an added adjective if it's done in the same area you were born and grew up, after having lived far away for a while?

Around about there yeah, they can get up about 15kg but most are smaller. There are videos of people grabbing them by the neck and putting them back in the water.

But people love to overplay geese and swans as these powerful beasts because of how aggressive and loud they are, and that they can cause bleeding and such with their beak. Some even throw around the idea that they can break your arm. Meanwhile their bones are much smaller and honeycombed. They're about the strength of a really stale breadstick.

From what I remember he seem to mostly use it to change parameters and intiate things with voice commands. At least in the movies.

It's actually wild how much it can matter; I've personally seen cops get ready to line people up because of drinking in a park, then change demeanour and tell everyone to clean up and move along because they told everyone to get up, and noticed the two white guys in the group.

And I live in one of the countries ranking in top 10 on all the different "best place to live" lists.

Then you have pacific salmon, where they dump the eggs and semen in a pit in a river, and both die shortly after. Giving a whole host of meanings to "dropped off".

Or the turtles who bury eggs on a beach and never go back.

How much longer until we have to provide our ID or biometrics to use the Internet or apps?

That's already a thing in some places.

In parts of Europe you have to "prove" that you're over 18 to watch videos that are age restricted on youtube. By doing something like a $0 credit card purchase on your google account.

And Discord has been talking about facial reckognition age verification in the UK over their new "sensitive content" regulation. So it would block that content if not approved via that or other thing(like digital purchase or national ID).

There has been months of literal nazis running around cutting funding for life saving programs in the government. And everyone is all "look at this guy, he has a funny cover name", and nothing about how they are intentionally killing off children based on ethnicity.

Of course it's worse, American media is openly lying to the population on a grand scale.

I know it’s popular to go “developer good, publisher bad”, but in Bioware’s case, from what I’ve read, they were mostly just given the rope to hang themselves.

Ever since ME Andromeda they've been outsourcing a lot of the work, and/or using smaller and inexperienced studios while promoting and launching them as if made by the main studio.

Post-rock, shoegazing and the similar genres tend to be pretty chill. But there also tends to be a noticable amount of mind altering substances and dirty bathrooms.
