Estwing hammers. Not excessively expensive, but the kind of hammer you buy for life.

I think it’s unintentional, I’ve seen times where their servers were struggling and the game was unable to check if the spot was claimed by someone, and when it fails, the game assume the spot is free, leading to duplicate use of the same spot…

I wish the verification was more robust, but then if it would fail when there’s a server downtime then nobody would be able to claim a land. You don’t want to block a functionally as integral as building because of an outage…

A potential solution would be to check who first claimed the land, and the user who did it first keeps it whil the others are expropriated and need to rebuild somewhere else, but then there are edge cases to consider

• if someone claimed the land while the servers were down, and someone claimed the same land while the servers were up, who has the valid claim?

The one who says they did it first with only a timestamp as the proof (maybe they set their system clock in the past to fake it), or the one who claimed it and has the proof in the servers?

Small screen, combined with poor/touch screen controls, and wanting to make money no matter what by pushing ads everywhere because no one wants to pay $10+ for a mobile software.

The only time I consider a mobile a game is when there is an ad-free option available.

We already have Palantir Corp

Especially with the rootkit scandal from 2005, the PSN breach from 2011, the internal employee data breach in 2023, etc

I can put the phone in lockdown by press-holding the power button and select the “lockdown” option. Not bad, but an actual reboot daily at night wouldn’t be so bad.

The post-credit logos of the Simpsons were a synonym of bedtime.

I wouldn’t mind having the ability to schedule a reboot on my phone as an extra precaution.

https://ghost.org/ is one of them.

Nice, so I’ll be able to unlock some of the expeditions stuff I did on PS4 on my PC :D

I use handbrake with libaacs, libbdplus and an up-to-date keydb

With these in place, you can just read and transcode a Blu Ray like any other media.

Sorry I couldn’t help. Ultimately, communication is key and if you’re both satisfied and she doesn’t feel she needs more or missing out, then there’s no harm :)

It’s probably too sensitive? Have you tried stimulating it indirectly, for example by licking/touching its hood right above it instead?

Also, take your time, listen to the body language and if you sense some kind of positive response you keep doing exactly that, you don’t change the pace, pressure, angle, etc.

3dfx voodoo 3 3000, with its whopping 16MB of VRAM.

It ran Unreal Tournament like a charm. Playing CTF on dialup though was not always great though…

One option would be for the big manufacturers to ignore the market and see if new players are able to thrive in such a market or not.

If the amount requested is too steep, they’ll end up with no new players and a shortage of high end phones, which is sure to piss off a portion of the population.

Nova is more flexible, but honestly I find that Lawnchair strikes a good balance between simplicity and customizability.

Feels somewhat close to the Pixel launcher, with icon packs support, with a couple of extra features and doesn’t belong to a company that is trying to monetize it to hell.

Kobo and Boox are better at making eReaders anyway.

Do CloudFlare next.
