The next generation could go down. The PS3 was crazy expensive, and then the PS4 cost significantly less than the PS3 had. So, there’s precedent. Adjusted for inflation, the ps3 was even more expensive than the ps5 pro.

It’s always good to support the original publisher and encourage local libraries by reading a hard copy, so I could never endorse piracy, even for people who can’t get their hands on a physical copy. Even though it’s true that both libgen and annas-archive have ebook copies of this particular book (and can easily be found via google), I could never in good conscience direct anyone to such a site.

this was in 2015 btw
not that it’s super important, just in case someone reads it as a contemporary news headline rather than fun historical trivia

Every time I hear this observation, I automatically hear Jim Carrey’s voice in my head saying “It’s dead people laughing! Those people are dead!”

I guess he said it in the 1999 movie Man On The Moon and the line has somehow been permanently lodged in the back of my brain for the last 25 years

Are you set on using light sources, or would you be okay with a shader that just creates the shadows without checking for specific light sources? It looks like this might do what you want, but you might need to modify it to work with your exact use case (multiple z levels).

Generally it seems like some kind of shader might be your best option, it seems like the 2d lights are intended for casting lights within a given z level rather than between them. If you want more complex shadows across multiple z levels, you might need to create your own light objects (just a position, color, and intensity) and pass them to a shader that does something similar to the linked example, but modified based on your lights list.

It’s possible there’s a simpler way that someone else could chime in with (I’m pretty new to godot), but as far as I can tell the built in 2d light and shadow systems aren’t designed for different z levels, so you’d need to use something else.

What’s the most you ever lost on a tumblr post?

It means the overall death rate in the sample group was decreased substantially. The number of people who survived because they didn’t get lung cancer or blood clots was so large that it had a noticeable impact on the number of total survivors, even when you include death by bus. This is a useful measure for a couple of reasons. One, it accounts for the prevalence of the disease being prevented - cutting all pork from your diet prevents 100% of deaths by trichinosis, which accounts for like 0.00001% of deaths from all causes (completely made up numbers and example, without consulting any sources). Two, it could account for net change in survival, for a treatment or behavior that has both positive and negative effects - giving radiation therapy indiscriminately to everyone with any kind of lump might decrease rate of dying from breast cancer, but increase death “from all causes” because it causes more problems than it solves.

I guess an additional way it might be useful is if we don’t yet have data on the exact mechanisms by which the treatment helps or what exactly its preventing - all we know is that we gave group A the treatment and not group B, and after 20 years there were a lot more people alive in group A, but we haven’t yet found a pattern in which causes of death were most affected and how.

She looks great. And powerful.

And kök looks like cock in English, so we’ve come full circle (I know it’s not pronounced that way)

what if spider vaginas had emotions

bobby hill managed to make perfect cell double over in pain, so I’m pretty sure he could annihilate namek-era goku

A few years back I got permabanned on reddit by an automated message, for no reason I could figure out. A couple of days later I was unbanned (apparently it was part of a mass banning, most of which were erroneous and reversed). So it’s possible this is something similar and you might be reinstated soon.

in my experience, most things will mobilize the squirrels to hide

The linked article mentions that one of the predator types merged into the dragon is raptors (as in birds of prey, not velociraptors)

Large language models (chatgpt etc, basically any of the AIs you’ve seen recent headlines about) aren’t especially good at distinguishing true from false claims. It’s one of the biggest weaknesses that AI researchers are actively trying to find solutions for.

part of the appeal is how bad I am at both the gameplay and the lore
