Until you have more than 100 lab techs

You could always seed

Are you telling me you don’t use multiple screens while gaming?

Well, there’s Sentinel Island, but we keep people away from there for many, many good reasons

Or it being 5 years in the future with significantly more efficient SOC’s and batteries

That being said, the Nintendo DS’s last US patents should expire in November. Maybe they could do a dual screen?

They should have swapped a couple of the conch rewards, so you get a flimsy hammer at 60 and the true ending at 48. Pushing your players into an extra 5 hours of searching just kills the game’s pacing

It delights me to lie to myself that they are nervous someone somewhere would pick a golden ticket with their AI application and they’d miss out

Tbf, that’s exactly what happens sometimes. CVS partnered with Theranos despite the lack of evidence supporting their product. Their reasoning was that if only Walgreens partnered with Theranos and it was a success, then CBS would have been screwed

Unfortunately smart TV’s are just a step up from potatoes. Having separate hardware is gereally better than a smart TV app

DBZer0, aka Divide By Zer0. He runs an instance with the same name. He’s one of the old mods on r/piracy and helped lead an exodus over to Lemmy

Does that change anything regarding the discussion?

Yes, because the term “fatigue limit” makes lay people think the exact opposite of what is intended.

That’s halo 6

I am aware

Head’s up, referring to it as a “limit” like your article did is incorrect. In engineering you have what’s called an S-N diagram, which plots out the average time to failure based on average cyclic stress. Basically, a lower avaerage stress results in a higher average life. Also, this plot uses a logarithmic scale for both axis, because then all of the plots are straight lines.

For steel, the S-N diagram has what’s called the “knee”, which is where you have two distinct lines in the S-N curve: one horizontal and one at an angle, with the two intersecting at 1 million cycles. Referring to the knee as a limit (like in the article) is wrong because it’s not a limit; it’s the threshold where if you design a part to last beyond that (aka less cyclic stress than would get 1 million cycles) then it practically lasts forever.

In reality, the part won’t actually last forever, since the S-N curve beyond 1 million cycles isn’t perfectly horizontal. It’s just that reducing your cyclic stress quickly increases your predicted life into billions or even trillions of cycles. This is known as ultra-high cycle fatigue, and it’s generally impractical to do all the testing required to model because each sample would take months to test on the low end. Plus, there’s little demand for such models in the industry, though there are a handful of PhD students and post-docs working on it

Sounds like a good thing. It’s not like Infinite was any good

As far as video game adaptations go these days, this actually seems pretty true to the source material.

Uh… What? Look at the casting- Roland should be a straight-man (in comedy terms) but they’ve cast Kevin Hart to tell his typically unfunny cracks. And while I love Kate Blanchett she is not a good fit to play Lilith

Not only that, they probably would have been better off not using the original 4 playable characters since every game comes with a new set. Just make sure the side characters are done well and you keep the same feel as the games and it should have been an easy win

Personally, I have a subscription to Shonen Jump’s app and love it, while kmanga insists on trying to get you to buy individual chapters, which I refuse to do.

Piracy is a service problem

They do it to get you to buy points because they seem incapable of understanding any monetization strategy besides paying-per-chapter

Also have a crappy pricing scheme that people have been pushing against for years, while Shonen Jump rakes in money by having their app and monetization not suck

Hopefully it’s a bit more polished since DOOM 2016 is an example of the system being used really well. I found the first game to be a bit clunky at times

I would recommend playing the first game (it’s good, though it is showing some age). Apart from that: no, you don’t really need to know the lore to follow along. And the comments in this thread have given more than enough background to follow it.

That being said, if you’re interested in the lore I’ve been listening to a podcast called “Laying Down the Lore Warhammer 40k”. I found it entertaining and informative
