The device being described in the image is an alternator: a device that captures energy from the movement of the machine.

I think everyone on this thread understands that alternators do not overcome entropy and that there is no infinite energy, but that’s besides the point.

So an alternator?

Pretty sure a used engagement ring is worse than lab grown in the eyes of the unwashed masses.

Not only expensive but it’s just aweful.

Wasn’t nearly as bad when I was kid

I hear ya. I am getting real tired of the paywalls and the rent seeking in something I paid for. It used to be confined to free to play games but it has gradually started to creep into fully paid AAA stuff now and that’s just unacceptable to me.

lol, precisely!

Why do people gamble? Because that’s what this is.

The companies don’t even care about the average player. They are trying to hook rich people with more money then sense, aka whales.

A long time ago the industry realized an extremely small percent blows way more money than all the others combined.

If you ever played a game with any kind of monitization and asked yourself why everything is $40 and how the average player can afford it, this is why.

My 1080ti says no

lol if i filtered out trump/musk posts and block the furry instances there would be nothing left!

Doesn’t the arr stack use tmdb?

He-man. I still don’t get the hate it received.

Hey I liked invisible war :/

I just use the heroic/legendary alternative launcher for any single player games I actually want to play from egs. It’s open source and gives epic less footprint on my machine.

Unfortunately if you want to do anything multiplayer then you need the real client.

Star citizen says hi

…and it will take place during Christmas time.

Yes.

The problem in my opinion was the series originally launched exclusively on the ps and then set a $70 price tag which I remember being one of the first games to do so. Then in addition decided to split the story into three games to milk it further.

I can understand why it may not have been as well received, especially from those like myself who want a complete experience from the start.

And then you have zero/azure and cold steel which DO have voice acting…

What makes the series a marathon is after every minor event, every character everywhere has new text to read… which can get exhausting if you’re ocd. Plus there are missable quests and items that can trigger fomo.

But still love the world building and there were times that certain reveals elicited audible gasps and I even squealed like a little girl when one of my favorite playable characters from sky returned in the later games.

Knowing the series is officially ending is disappointing but understandable. There just hasn’t been any other rpg that has retained the same cast, setting, and well… world as any other that I can recall. And that’s a shame.

I use vs code for programming a node based application written in Typescript.

The only thing I find insufficient is the source control integration. Editing and debugging are well done in my opinion, at least for my target language.

What do you find lacking that you feel makes it not a worthy ide?

Oh I remembered the horse; it was just clunky and useless.
