It’s per se, not persay. From the latin ‘per’ meaning by and ‘sē’ meaning itself.

Never because that’s not how trademarks work.
The amount of people in general that don’t understand even the most basic shit about trademarks or how they differ from copyright and often mix up the two is staggering really.
The ‘Don’t be evil’ era was quite a long time ago now. Google’s been greedy scumbags for quite some time now so this really isn’t that unexpected.
But what the real cost to Google is here is that they have evaporated my loyalty and good will. I now see them as a company that will squeeze me when they know they can get away with it, and that my loyalty and being an early adopter means nothing to them.
You really expected more from Google?
That fps he and Adrian Carmack failed to Kickstart?
Yeah, well maybe a better quality pic on the right as it looks quite raw lol.
It annoys me when people leave a review because what they bought arrived damaged. That’s a review on the shitty delivery, not on the item itself. Just send it back and get a replacement.
Had to scroll down so far to find an actual hot take.
A better comparison image would’ve been sonic the hedgehog with the waterfalls. Such a huge difference without the crt dithering type effect.
Remember the shareware days when up to a third of a game was given away free? Good times. I still copied those floppies though.
On most rss readers you can just paste in the url of a youtube channel and it’ll find the rss feed for you, no need to dig about in the code. Worked for me in everything I’ve used over the years.
It’s bloody great. I love the absurd humour and wordplay, the weird non linear plot, the black humour and satire of bureaucracy. Then you get hit in the guy with some really dark depressive shit. It really isn’t for everyone, though. There ain’t nothing like it. Well Kurt Vonnegut kinda has the same vibe in some of his books, but I love his books for other reasons.
I’d probably put a Vonnegut book in my favourites list as well but I couldn’t decide which one!
Well it’s kinda complicated lol. It’s not really one giant series that has to be read in order, it’s a bit of a shared world type thing with various sub-series focusing on various characters or places and some stand alone stuff. Some characters will kinda float in and out of the various sub series as well, and a lot of the books are centred around the city of Ankh-Morpork. The later books kinda got more connected with various plots about technological and social progress across the world.
Night Watch is the 5th or 6th (I forget which) Watch sub-series of books which focus on Ankh Morpork’s city watch, ie coppers. It focuses mostly on their Commander Sam Vimes. I’d rate the watch books as some of the more inter connected ones, so reading the previous 4 or 5 watch books at the very least before Night Watch would most certainly enhance it a lot.
It’ll probably still be quite a good read without knowing the background of the characters and city though, Pratchett’s satire and social commentary would still shine through, but you’ll probably miss out on a bunch of subtext.
The Discworld books are some of my favourites, started reading them in the late 90s as a teen and they’ve been with me through some tough times. I recently had a big re-read of almost the entire series over the past few years and I’m still finding new things, new jokes and puns and new meanings after all these years. I still haven’t read the final 2 or 3 though. Kinda makes me sad thinking they there will be no more to read after those so I’ll hold off for a few more years. First couple of books are a bit meh though.
GNU Terry.
Don’t really do favourite lists but if I did Catch-22 by Joseph Heller and Night Watch by Terry Pratchett would probably be very near the top.
Is this a trick to get lurkers to post? lol I post occasionally but mostly lurk
You’re surprised that most people use the free option that requires less hassle to get going?
Doom 1 and 2. The 2016 reboot and Eternal just don’t do it for me. And I just pretend 3 never happened.
That’s the proper name of it. The Ukraine isn’t the proper name of Ukraine.
