There are a few models.

- They have majority of popular games already installed but you need to log in to your own steam account and only have access to the games you already own.

- They provide an in-house account and offer games available in that account to be played. This is usually for cafes offering playtime for console games.

- Partnerships with games studios/publishers, but really I only know about this in Korean PC Bangs for specific games where some content is locked. For example in League of Legends, you unlock playable characters over the course of playing the game so a low level account might not have the full roster unlocked. If you log in your account to affiliated PC Bangs, you have all characters unlocked while playing there.

I think about that article of the travel-blogger who admired Anthony Bourdain and her experience with self-sabotage. Partying out late at night in a sketchy unfamiliar country. Letting herself head home alone at 3 AM with her senses impaired just from a sense of not-caring clearly bordering on severe negligence. I've brushed on some thoughts the same and it's nothing like forgetting my wallet or keys, sometimes you're aware with what you're gambling and just don't really care about the outcome.

Heck, you can have your information as clear and concise as possible, but the moment I sense that "AI-generated" texture, I am immediately closing the tab. This is just extrapolating from how I feel about the bevy of obviously AI-Generated flyers and banners that have been gaining a lot of traction in real life.

Yes, we should be looking into the wasteful water use in golf courses too.

Funnily enough, as someone who absolutely hated my Java classes in college and ending up in a job that made me learn Scala, I just appreciated it as Java but better.

Currently running an internal maintenance mode project with a Scala backend. The odd times I'm asked to look at it, I still find the code very beautiful.

That's the infamous "word.exe" CSGO scandal.

To add a couple more into this list:

- Orb: On the Movements of the Earth

- Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia (upcoming)

Honestly, a lot of great anime fall into the cracks. Orb almost slipped me by, but that was a fantastic watch and I am eagerly anticipating Jaadugar.

edit: one more I couldn't help but add: Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray. Just let go of what you may feel about having a story centered around horse-girl hybrids, ultimately Cingray is a fantastic female-led shounen sports anime.

Well that took a wild, albeit unsurprising turn at the end (bringing in race). Though I do still wonder if there ends up being actual material improvements on brain scans being behavior predictors or if it truly stays in science fiction (probably science fiction). Very evocative of the anime Psycho Pass.

> Psycho-Pass is set in a futuristic Japan governed by the Sibyl System, a powerful biomechatronic computer network which continually monitors the psychological traits of Japanese citizens using a "cymatic scan." The resulting psychometric assessment is called a Psycho-Pass, which includes a numeric Crime Coefficient index, revealing the citizen's criminality potential, and a color-coded Hue, alerting law enforcement to other data... When a targeted individual's Crime Coefficient index exceeds the accepted threshold (100), they are pursued, apprehended, and either arrested or killed by the field officers of the Crime Investigation Department of the Ministry of Welfare's Public Safety Bureau.

I've loved tailwind for the colocation of the component HTML and its corresponding styling (never gave up on traditional CSS though!), but with scoped styles I might start leaning back to traditional CSS.

I feel you. This whole hoo-haa has made me so much more money-minded, and so much less optimistic about Software Development than I was 10 years ago. I just remind myself that it's bad now, but it can get much worse. Now I'm just trying to get what I can, then hopefully retire volunteering at an animal conservation sanctuary. And to the AI hopefuls, good luck, because I don't see any future where the zeitgeist of this technology won't just be about lining the pockets of already rich people.

As the even younger kids say: :skull-emoji: :skull-emoji: :sobbing-face-emoji: :wilted-rose-emoji:

For me it wasn't the color, but how smooshed the post body is. I had to override the max-width and added some letter-spacing.

As a (somewhat younger) Filipino, I didn't even know there was any basis in calling my country "The PI". Well now I know.

>the Nakanohito (human actor) may terminate their contracts (with the corporation that owns their VTuber persona) and later debut with a new persona, a process known as "reincarnation".

If anyone's curious enough to click but lacks context. All in all quite fascinating how it's grown to be quite similar to the current Pro Wrestling scene. When I heard the joke "VTubing is wrestling for weebs." I just couldn't help but feel that, without a shred if irony, it really was.
