+1 for Halls of Torment
It's a really solid entry in the rogue-lite vampire-survivors-like genre that Diablo enjoyers could pick up really easily

What are you going to do with the other 900mb?

Maybe, maybe not. As equity holders get older they may be looking to cash out so they can fuel their retirements.
I don't think that's something Gabe is interested in, but we're talking about what will happen when he dies.

Never say never, but I don't think it's going to happen while Gabe is in charge

He did at one point. I think he's said that he likes being in full control of the project, so he took back over the porting process.
It's really impressive that a single developer does as much as he does.

20 years.
But it isn't the original system. It's the implementation done is Legends Arceus.

Nope, my bad. Im far from an expert but know enough to differential between copyright and parent. I didn't know that prior art had that meaning.

Once again. Patents have nothing to do with art. And even if they had proof they worked on those mechanics before Nintendo patented them doesn't mean they have the right to use it. Yes, it's kinda a dumb system. But there is a lot of effort to get a patent, and once you have one you have a lot of protection because of it.
Disregard. :) see comment below

It's a patent case. It has nothing to do with the creative design of the games.
But yes. Every pokemon is copyrighted. Every pal is copyrighted. (In the US) All creative work is automatically copyrighted to the creator.
You can't copyright "a standing lizard with a small flame on its tail" but you can copyright Charmander. If you copy enough elements that a lay person can't distinguish the original and the copy then it opens it up for a copyright claim.
None of that is relevant in this case.
A patent is to protect a specific invention from being copied. In this case, there is an innovative game mechanic that Nintendo patented has that Palworld copied. The speculation is with throwing an item that captures a character that fights other characters in a 3d space.
The patent is dumb. Personally I don't think it is innovative or special enough to be patented. Patenting software or game mechanic are dumb anyway.

As a native, today was still bad.

I use a planck as my daily driver. I wouldn't recommend it unless you have some good reasons to switch.
It took about 2 weeks of use and practice before I could type at a reasonable rate with it. And then it took about 2 weeks before I could type on a normal keyboard again.
I had a few reasons why I got one
- I travel enough that having a small form factor was important
- I have small hands, and was developing some wrist pain from stretching and moving my hand on larger keyboards. It did help a lot, but I think switching to a 60% would have been just as helpful.
- I didn't type that fast anyway and have pretty bad form, I was hoping switching layouts would be a natural way to retrain my typing and type faster. I did improve for a bit, but I stopped practicing and am a pretty terrible typer again
I do think it's pretty cool. It's a conversation starter when people walk by my desk. The planck is a 40%, so most people haven't seen a keyboard that small.

VPNs are super common for business reasons. A lot of business travelers are going to use a VPN to access files and services only available on their network.
Using a big VPN might be risky; a self-hosted VPN should be less risky. I'd avoid torrenting though, even legal torrents.
Can you ask your IT department their recommendations?

You can't have a solution if you ignore half of the problem statement. It's completely unhelpful.
Problem: I want to be able to type better while having long nails.
Your solution: Don't have long nails.

Someone didn't read the article. She addresses exactly this.
I can already hear the trolls making jokes about women being concerned about breaking a nail. If it’s so inconvenient, why not just have short nails? Well, I’m not out here wearing long nails for fun. Being a reviewer often means acting as a part-time hand model for whatever gadget I’m testing. The Internet Nail Police has repeatedly shown up in my comments over the years if my polish is chipped or, god forbid, there’s a smudge of dirt under my natural nail.

Oh cool, I'll have to switch. I've been using Arc for a few months now and really like it, but would rather move away from chromium. I'd been using Firefox for years before that

Damn. Good point.
\*or other media; video, article, etc. *The Phoenix Project* (and *The Unicorn Project*) by Gene Kim really opened my eyes up as an engineer and made me feel like I could start fixing the problems I was seeing on my team, on my project, and in my organization. I started reading *The Manager's Path* by Camille Fournier and have really appreciated how straightforward and relevant it is. Help me fill my Amazon cart!
IMHO, it's a horrible hack that is just broken. It's obscure and we need to rewrite it because it has a bad structure. ^X^Cquit^\[ESC][ESC]^C
Help help! He's measuring my velocity!
Is that term even used anymore? Feels like it was everywhere a couple years ago.
My company started using Lattice software for tracking 1 on 1s, reviews, etc. I don't really love it, but it's nice to have something that the entire company is standardizing with. I've been using Obsidian for my personal notes before I became a manager. And I use the M$ Suite as needed with SharePoint. Any other tools, software, processes, that you use for the people management side?

I've heard people mention curl and imagemagick. Any others that you know about?
