I haven't actually done it, but I have programmed n64 games. From what I understand only the PAL version has the chip, which makes sense since games have to run on different timings. The Japanese and US N64 are identical in hardware, there's just those two plastic tabs on the tray that prevent the "wrong" cart from being inserted, so the tray is the only mod you need to do.

Yea, the way I see it, it's most effective to focus on removing power, and in a capitalist society money is power. You could try enacting change through violence, but the remaining people in power will still have the money to better protect themselves from violence, which just escalates the violence. If protests focused more on economic disruption, they'd be directly affecting more of the people in power than killing any individual while simultaneously reducing what power they do have, pushing them to concede to demands.

You changed the title to make it sound like this is just some random drunk guy and not an ICE agent, which is the important part.

Also for context this happened in August. The footage has just been released.

Idk. Depends entirely on what kind of code you're writing. Singletons are extremely useful patterns for video games, for example. There should never be multiple instances of classes that handle things like game state, achievement unlocking, display/resolution managing, etc.

If they didn't enforce their own singletonness then you'd have to always launch the game using the exact same startup routines, to ensure that only one of each ever gets instantiated. But game engines typically divide the game into something like "scenes", which logically divide code and assets to only what's relevant for that area of the game. When testing a specific level/area/scene, It's extremely handy to have a singleton class exist in every scene, that acts as that startup routine, so you can start the game from any scene, and when you load in another scene through gameplay, the singleton class itself makes sure no duplicates exist, instead of having some kind of manager that keeps track of all that (which itself would also have to be a singleton, so you'd just be kicking the can down the road).

Right there where it says "public". What are you talking about?

I don't get it. I literally write code that looks like both of these all the time. Null coalescing is cool, and very handy sometimes. In this particular case, I'd probably write it more like the left, since it's more standard and my coworkers would be more familiar with it, but the right obviously does the same thing and I have no issues reading it.

So unlike how it looks, this isn't about a game going on sale. When this happens, it's about differences in regional pricing. Like a year ago, Poland was upset they were being charged the second most for games on steam, when they don't make that kind of income on average. So steam changed their regional pricing index, and games across the board got cheaper for polish users and a few other countries. Looks like they do this for recently purchased games when that happens. Not sure how many times this has happened, but I doubt it's very often.

Uh, no, I don't think that's Jay Klaitz.

FUCK. I thought they were just fucking up the lyrics, I totally forgot about that song lol

Clair obscur had me feeling like this at the end of every Act.

Lester Crest from GTA V is the guy who plans your heists.

Lol it wasn't until this comment that I realized the meme is using Papa Roach lyrics, with an image of Limp Bizkit and calling them Deftones. I only caught 2/3.

Why tf is "stole" censored?? We can't even discuss crime now?

No, she's called Ponytail! Megan has a bob cut and is obviously far less attractive. Uh... to that guy, I mean. Obviously...

He's talking about the xkcd woman lmao not Hornet.

Yea, we do that in English too sometimes, like with hour, heir, and homage (which we definitely didn't steal from the French).

I feel like I've been Tom Hiddleston for the last 8 years, but I'm definitely shifting to Matthew McConaughey.

Satya? Microsoft doesn't own Dropbox. You're thinking of OneDrive.

Youtube Revanced is such a game changer. Didn't realize it had an option to disable the ai crap, I gotta go turn that on.

How is smoking tobbaco through your tracheostomy hole any better?

Edit: Oh you mean because smokers are more likely to end up with a tracheostomy hole, so you can use them as a bong lol
