For people not aware, Grow a Garden is the most popular Roblox experience ever released. It achieved one of the highest peak concurrent player counts of over 21.3 million players. To this day the active player count hovers around 2-8 million concurrent players at any given hour

It's wild to me how Team Sonic Racing sold more than Total War Three Kingdoms

> All browsers that matter now support a solid common set of features which should be sufficient for the vast majority of cases.

All it takes is one of those non majority use cases and you're going to need some kind of dependency to get things consistent

I think the author chose these two shows as a comparison because they were created in roughly the same time period, so they're more directly comparable. Mister Rogers was created in a different era, with different media environment, funding and monetization strategy, and functionally in a different medium.

Responsible, maybe, but Liable? I don't think so. So long as you genuinely try to do your best and don't break the law, the a company can do is fire you.

> It was designed to integrate multiple forecasting centers in one building to improve operating efficiency

Oh man, the irony of the "Department of Efficiency" closing down a branch that was made specifically to make the system more efficient

That is not what most second amendment proponents assert

This is awesome, there aren't many good resources to learn Cantonese, especially compared to Mandarin

How democratic a regime is can only be measured in hindsight unfortunately

Just found out I have the gene for Alport syndrome. This thread has filled me with more hope than I've had in a while.

That's actually pretty cool, props to Apple for open sourcing it

Something interesting about the article was how ChatGPT seemed to take the left-wing position on all of the example scissor positions.

Pretty interesting article, I'm always surprised how complicated spacing out vegetation is

An obvious explanation for why publishers overwhelming focus on multiplayer titles despite consumer demand is that multiplayer games are much harder to pirate

I've never heard of this method, sounds like a great way to stay in the flow state without burning out

Small nitpick, instead of having a "back to home" button on the left, maybe just make the logo in the navbar a link to the homepage.

> Also you can't directly connect to steamVR without going through Quest link

Is this true? I have a quest 2 and just downloaded the steam link app and it seems to just work. Are you talking about wired?

I've had a lot of luck with dokku. It uses docker so it's more heavyweight, but it's super simple and scales really well

Conclusions of the paper:

COVID-19 vaccination reduced the risk of post-COVID-19 cardiac and thromboembolic outcomes. These effects were more pronounced for acute COVID-19 outcomes, consistent with known reductions in disease severity following breakthrough versus unvaccinated SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Almost a foregone conclusion nowadays, but I remember when the first J&J booster got pulled there was a lot of (imo justified) concern that COVID vaccines might do more harm than good for people with heart problems. This paper seems to conclude that's not the case

Great article. I haven't yet had the opportunity to use arena allocators, but the article is a solid rundown of why their useful and how they're implemented

Why

Yeah that's simply not true, not every Jew labels as such on social media. Also not everyone who is genetically Jewish even identifies as Jewish.

It also never would have been released without gamepass, so we have some evidence that Microsoft acquisitions don't all end terribly

> I do suspect that Microsoft may have been behind Starfield releasing in its half-baked, dumbed down state

Bethesda has been consistently simplifying their games since Morrowind and I don't think they've ever had smooth launch.

While it's true Microsoft rushes many releases, I don't think they're entirely to blame in this case

> Likewise, Skyrim is a massive open world game that's incredibly linear and repetitive, giving it a low replayability factor.

I may not be the biggest Skyrim fan in the world but this is just patently false from my experience. I know tons of people who've played through Skyrim multiple different times with different playstyles and allegiances.

> GTA San Andreas, RDR2 and GTA V all fall into this rare category of long games that are highly replayable.

I can't say I've ever felt the need to reply any Rockstar games so much as continue playing them. The story missions are tedious compared to just messing around exploring the open world.

I completely agree, I just got a used quest2 for $200 and this doesn't see any compelling reason to shell out the extra $300 yet.

Maybe someone's going to come up with a must have AR experience but as someone who mostly uses their quest for sims and gaming, I feel like my money would be better spent on upgrading my computer

Steam link is great, one of the best reasons to buy a game on steam. It even works on your phone pretty seamlessly

That's just not true. Ever been to San Diego? Little Saigon? Chinatown?

The age of the average African is significantly younger than the rest of the world. There's a lot of variables to account for, you'd need a proper study, not just a single data point, to determine if omicron is significantly less deadly than older COVID variants.

As for GP's claim that vaccines saved a lot of lives, that's very well supported at this point https://www.commonwealthfund.org/blog/2022/two-years-covid-v....
