    I would assume a cocaine addict actually wants a high-cocaine rail.

    Same reason phones often do not come with accessories like a charger, cable, earbuds, etc. any more.

    They are focusing on the dry part of the term. Using a liquid during the process goes against the dry part.

    No, the bridge is too well-guarded.

    I think they mean that the "Wobblies" and the "Pinkertons" just sound like a bunch of cartoon characters or something.

    "Games as a service" are by design never really finished, right? If you are cool with that, go for it. I have never personally tried one.

    As an illustration, grab an endgame save from 1.0 and open it up in a modern version of the game. The moment you step out of the door, you will be greeted with a series of cutscenes/dialogs explaining several of the various game mechanics that were added in the versions since 1.0. These are game mechanics that, if they had been part of the game from the start, would have greatly altered how one would have chosen to play and reach endgame. One may have prioritized different crops, events, upgrades, relationships, decorations, etc.

    Stardew Valley is absolutely worth the money, and the content updates definitely make it even more of a bargain. But calling the transition from 1.0 to 1.6+ "minor adjustments to gameplay" is disingenuous.

    I just miss the days when games were already finished upon release.

    My issue with Stardew Valley content updates is that they change how the game works. It is not just adding extra postgame missions or something. The content updates tend to fundamentally change how some things work. Your possible/preferred routes to reach endgame today are much different than they were in 2016. It makes it feel like perpetual Early Access.

    Game changing updates like this every so often that make you feel like it is an unfinished game still in early access. You may as well just wait until it is finished to actually start playing.

    ...and then Dennis comes along and takes the $4 from Dee's purse and puts it in the cash register anyway. My previous explanation that is probably incorrect: https://litter.catbox.moe/iblc2r.jpg

    I had no idea this issue had been identified. While I find this tool very useful, the project is seeming rather questionable to me now.

    It makes more sense to me to have the switches appear as red when the device has the ability to record you. When color is used as an indicator for something, the general convention is that red is negative. Meaning that there is a greater possibility of something going wrong when a red indicator is being displayed. You could argue that "webcam is not working for some reason" is a negative, and that seeing the bright red indicator can bring your attention to the switch as a hint to how to fix the issue. I would argue against that by stating that having a webcam record you when you do not want it to is a much bigger potential negative than the webcam **not** recording when you **do** want it to. Also: * When a traditional video camera displays a red indicator light, that means the camera is recording. * On the underside of the Framework 16, the expansion module latches are red when disengaged ![](https://dozuki-prod-us-east-1-guide-objects.s3.amazonaws.com/igo/video/framework/KiSjx2W6BHNqyKG1_MP4_720.mp4)

    > PolyCube is a block-stacking puzzle game in full 3D, with optional VR support. Move and spin your block pieces in all directions to place them in the puzzle before time is up and the piece drops. The developer was a full-time web dev who wanted to try out solo game development, but they ended up hating the business management side of things, so they eventually gave up the "hobby" and just set the game to free permanently.

    I just came across this linked to in the [Obtainium](https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium) README. It is sort of a [Ninite](https://ninite.com/)-like webpage that allows you to quickly and easily add apps from a curated list into Obtainium on your device. Really useful when setting up a new device or something. I do wish it was _more_ like Ninite, in that you currently have to tap the "Add to Obtainium" button under each and every individual app that you want go add . I wish this site also allowed you to instead check a checkbox on each app that you want, and then press one button that would add all the checked apps to Obtainium for you.

    There has to be a more elegant protocol for a situation like this, right?
