None of the old Natsume Harvest Moon games allowed same-sex marriage or romance. The more recent Story of Seasons games do: the Friends of Mineral Town remake (2019/2020) does, and pioneers of olive town does.

Both are more recent than the BioWare examples, and of course more recent than Stardew Valley, which is more in line with the Harvest Moon genre.

I don’t have stats to speak to the validity of their claims, but I think that we parsed their comment in different ways:

- number of “tornadoes due to Niña/Niño“ (my reading)

- “number of tornadoes” (total for the year), with Niña/Niño being why it’s that way (sounds like your reading, since those numbers are the overall)

While editing one GitHub comment I may be writing another. If you must, implement it as a link, but all else equal I’d prefer keeping the other state alive when canceling one comment-edit. Doing both is cool too, but people don’t typically want to implement a feature twice.

It’s not just because it’s associated with summer, quite the opposite: many of us just feel that sunset 30 minutes after work in the winter will be less depressing than the sun setting while we’re in the office. And then even more so during the days where it moves from 5:30 to 6:30, that’s enough to actually get out and do an activity.

I get that there are good reasons for morning light too, I’m just saying that I don’t think it’s just an association with summer.

I think usually they rave about Novamin, which, at least in Canada, isn’t in the Pronamel line IIRC but in other Sensodyne branded toothpastes.

_EDIT: “repair and protect”_

Do you have numbers for that? The graph in the article says 21.31% by their analysis

Loopholes are by definition legally allowed.

Do the example functions (isObject, isNumber, differenceDeep, randomUUID, debounce), along with the name (“SuperUtilsPlus”), and sentences saying “utility library” and “JavaScript” really not give enough context to get an idea of what this library is for?

And so if Lodash is what they’re trying to replace, is that not enough info to infer what Lodash might be?

The pharma ad comparison seems more than a little hyperbolic to me.

I’m not a huge fan of his, and maybe you’re only talking about more recent films, but Terminator and Titanic have more than “minimal cultural heft” as far as Hollywood movies go.

Didn’t downvote (can’t even downvote, wouldn’t anyway), but if I were to guess it’s that the article talks about it fairly extensively.

It depends on what one considers useful.

E.g. they were also first to support the `:has()` selector/pseudo-class, which I think can be useful for avoiding JS in some cases.

But it’s not core functionality, it’s just a convenience.

Making it more convenient for everybody equally is an admirable goal, but should a trivial change that makes life a bit easier for many people be scrapped just because making it easier for everyone else is difficult? Specifically here where the experience doesn’t significantly regress for anyone.

What a throwback. Somebody asking whether another used ATI graphics. Another person asking whether they should support PPC Macs.

(The following comment agrees with you, it is not intended as an argument against what you’re saying):

Technically being able to contain the content and actually being able to boot the game from the disc (after transferring to the console hard drive) are two separate things. Even without counting Day 1/Day 0 patches. Some games refuse to run without downloading additional content that isn’t on the disc, others require talking to a server even if you’ve just downloaded the latest updates, others. A patch to fix bugs and add content is one thing, refusing to play entirely is another.
