Lol I hope so

This is true, but it's not the only factor. Staying private allows a company to not be predatory, but it definitely does not guarantee it - it simply allows the executives to choose. It's the combination of Valve being private and Gaben always staying true to his values despite his incredible wealth that gave us Steam in its current form.

I've known plenty of private companies that were as shitty as a public one, or more. Quality executives are vanishingly rare, particularly at this level of company value.

The Sagrada Familia, yeah. It's... pretty big, they're hoping to finish it in the 2030s. (Construction started in the 1800s though, maybe there's an even older one idk about?)

That is beautiful.

I will be disappointed if it's not this guy

It used to be incredibly common, but popular speedrunning games now have mod teams monitoring the leaderboards, sometimes going to truly unbelieveable amounts of effort to prove a run was or was not cheated. It's actually pretty difficult to get away with it these days.

Thanks for the link to Tagger, I've been looking for something like that. Looks like I have some library cleanup to do, I've been putting it off for years now lmao

I was literally going to say crystal sage before I read your full post. I've never once gotten through a DS3 run without dying several times to him, and I've probably played a dozen or more times. Even with the throwing knives cheese.

Lol the way the article talks about this particular verse - "In a literal sense this verse seems to describe surviving a gunshot to the head..."

This dude knew all the way back in 2020

Is the user base on lemmy really large enough to warrant an AI bot to shill payday loans? Like, come on man, let us have nice things for once in this goddamn hellscape of an internet.
