Considering that I am including a snake's movements in "walking" in this context, I'd say that's good enough.Honestly though, considering 2/3 of the planet surface (and increasing) is water, one would think there would be some answer to this, but I suppose it has something to do with the physics of it...
There is a lot of vertical space in the oceans and it is possible for some, to escape to depths that other species cannot.
As compared to that, fast vertical movement in a land area will mostly include air-time, meaning gliding will give an advantage by reducing fall damage.
There is a sharp drop in the buoyancy from water to air, meaning that anyone wanting to move to air to escape underwater threats will require much lower body densities, which in turn make it harder to have long deep-water time and there are more resources underwater anyway
So I think that the air-time of flying-fish is optimised more than enough for such a purpose and that the birds that we see diving to get food are more from the evolutionary route of - land animals that can fly, adapting to get food from deeper into the water.
As I said, when I care about sound, I would just use my expensive headphones.Just for hearing notification sounds and normal speech, with no particular musical requirements, monitor speakers are good enough.And I have actually seen some sound systems that are worse than my current monitor speakers (although I can't say why, considering they were other people's setups). I even have the old SoundBlaster desktop speakers lying around somewhere and don't consider them worth the effort.
Similarly, laptop speakers work well enough for non-music purposes too.
Yes, because the checkout page gets revenue ⇒ the bottom line.
The points you say are the things Valve is doing extra to provide value to the customer.The point I am saying, is the first thing that anyone working for money needs to care about.
steampowered checkout page:
loads in a reasonable time
has the same colour theme as the rest of the website
Epic checkout page:
even the in-app checkout page is slower than the Steam web checkout page
is slow not only before loading but also after clicking the 'place order' button
Yeah. Taste is a very subjective thing.I have tried chicken, fish, prawn and squid from well known restaurants and I can still just make a salted steamed potato that I would like better.
Turns out I just don't like meat stuff.
Well, at least I know I can digest them in case it is required in emergencies.
Honestly, most of the mid-range PC motherboards give a good enough sound output that one won't require a separate cheap music system unless they want to disturb the neighbours.
I make do with my monitors' speakers, which are pretty cheap. And when I care about sound quality, just use my headphones (which is the only audio thing I put a lot of money on) and having higher fidelity room speakers won't even help me due to the traffic noise all day.
The best way to get a shitty review out of me is to make fight scenes and not care about what you studied in high-school kinematics.Stop a character mid-air without stopping time -> -1.It was not for quick-time dialogue event, but just randomly stopped the character in air -> -5.
So while it needs to get out to breathe, it can still swim underwater for as long as it has breath.
Nice.However, those feet look like they can be used to walk.
While EGS increases its minimum Windows # requirements, Steam client is already available on Linux.Although I would prefer being able to build it myself rather than keeping it in Firejail
Epic would charge Steam’s fees if they had Steam’s marketshare.
while at the same time providing worse service.Ever noticed the difference between Epic checkout vs Steam checkout?
And that is the part one would want to make the best, because that's what gets the money in.
I get I am not the average gamer, but even if I find a game on Steam, I tend to check their website too.Specially for games I like, I try getting the GoG version despite Steam providing regional pricing, which tends to be 0.2x
Now if any of Steam's contracts is preventing GoG or others from providing regional pricing, that's a point worth considering.But Steam is providing a much better game finding experience than Epic and others (although GoG seems to be doing well too, recently), so despite me not being affected by the network effect, I do see some value in Steam.
From what I see, Steam does give value to gamers. Whether it's worth 30% of the game's price or lesser, depends upon information that I don't know.
But if someone provides greater value than the competitors, should they not get more money in return?
I'd say the govts should make it mandatory for anyone making a large enough data centre, to create a heat transfer infrastructure to nearby localities. The locals can then buy hot water (metered) via pipelines from the local govt and that can go towards paying for the power extension tax that the data centre has to pay.Oh yes, there needs to be a power extension tax first, which is levied on anyone setting up data centres to use for wasteful stuff like AI, Crypto-mining etc. Of course, that only matters if they are taking power from the grid and/or building near populated areas (any amount of population).
Pick up a 1lb bottle of water and drop it once a day, every day, for 50 days.You might be able to take a few days off, since you have more time remaining.
IDK man if I lost 50 lbs of stuff out of my body, I'd probably be in the ICU.
At this point, if you don't feel comfortable to tell them why and the consequences of doing what they ask of you, then you might want to start finding another place, because the subsequent events are inevitable.
Nah it's fine now. We have rebindings right in the compositor. I can just use the space-key instead.
