Python does have enums: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/enum.html#enum-cookbook

Grave of the Fireflies is a classic.

How are bikes even DEI? Riding a bike is ableist and exclusionary. In order to ride a bike, a person must have two reasonably strong legs (or arms, in the case of a handcycle) and to go any great distance, the rider needs to be in pretty good shape.

I am not saying we should not have bike lanes, since they provide an additional, clean and healthy mode of transportation, but I just don’t see them as DEI.

I use SMS specifically because of the network effect. Almost everyone I want to communicate with has a cellphone, so all of them are capable of sending and receiving text messages. There is no need to list my installed messaging apps and compare it to theirs, we just need to exchange phone numbers.

My longest and most active conversations (chatting with my wife or my closest friends) are going to be over a more feature rich app, but if I need to set up a quick chat with 3 or 4 people, I am not going to think what messaging app we all have in common, I will just start an SMS group chat.

I haven’t watched the presentation yet, but is the $120 special edition the only physical release the game will get?

1. I like to borrow game disks from my friends.
2. Sony will delete digital purchases from customer devices and not compensate the customers. Other companies have done it, but Sony seems to do it more often than anyone.

I am not sure what a second season of the show would even be. The story is wrapped up nicely, so the best they could do is a new Spider-Noir story set in the same universe, a sequel, not a continuation.

I am guessing that Amazon filmed the first season, saw how good it turned out, and decided that they were going to flog a dead horse. Luckily the audience was good but not amazing, so the greed cleared from their eyes and they thought better.

The issue, as I understand it, is that there are manufacturers that make electric bicycles that are artificially limited to a maximum speed limit but have a part that, if removed, would disable that limiter. The manufacturer will tell you that you should never, ever remove that part, that removing the part voids the warranty, that the manufacturer is not at fault for any injury or legal trouble you could get from riding a bike with no limiter, etc.

If your car windows are totally fogged up, you cannot clearly see what is in front of your car and therefore, your vehicle is not safe to operate.

Hollywood perfected royalties. If structured right, you can promise everyone at the company 200% of the games profit and never pay them a cent.

For example, you sell all rights to the game to a shell company owned by the studio’s parent for 1¢.

Would have really lost my interest in the league if they had let this slide since it just makes the richest teams have a massive advantage. Really glad they did this.

One of the great things about the NBA is that owners cannot simply buy a championship. It did not work for Prokhorov and the Nets and it has not worked for Balmer with the Clippers.

Obviously the inverse is true. Plenty of teams fell out of championship contention because the owner tried to cut payroll.

I thought that there was a non-creepy reason that every app used to ask for permission to make phone calls. Something like pausing the game when you get a phone call.

It would be better if there was more granularity in permissions and I don’t think that “automatic game pausing” is an important enough feature to justify the permission, but I recognize that most users will just click “yes” until their game starts.

I suspect that it works because she is your wife. BO works a lot better on your 101st date than it does on your 1st date. It is not about your armpits having an alluring scent, but the fact that the scent reminds your wife of times she got you all sweaty and stinky. It calls back to driving home after a long hike or snuggling with you on a cold winter day. It is a scent that she is used to smelling when she is looking at someone she loves.

I was not talking about her in particular, I was talking about hating all people who served in the IDF. I know people who did mandatory service in the IDF. They think the war is tragic and stupid.

It is not that common. I have never seen a snowman that looked run over.

IDF service is mandatory for Israeli youth, so I would not damn people who served in the IDF at one point but condemn the current war.

I value a good playthrough much more than a review. Just because an influencer likes a game does not mean I will.

A good playthrough should put me in the mind of a player. For example:

• How much are they paying attention to their own game state vs. looking to help/hinder their opponent?
• How many different moves do they need to consider?
• How much are they calculating the expected value of a move?
• How many things do they need to remember?
• How much of their strategy is based on preexisting knowledge from previous games?

A reviewer might not bring it up or may have a different preference for it than I don

There is a market segment that loves them and you can cut some corners on difficulty tuning. As long as the game is impossibly hard with no meta-progression unlocked and laughably easy with all meta-progression unlocked, you can call it good enough.

Sally, Limited Run Games releases some games on Game Key Cards.

It is a big deal. If Epic changes some API and breaks Heroic, it is your problem for using an unsupported third party application. If Epic breaks their official client, their QA manager has a problem.
