I haven’t played with 2D particles, but in 3D you can make the spawned particles not behave as if they are parented to their spawning node. It allows you to spawn them in a moving area, but not move with the area.

I can’t remember the option, but it’s in the inspector.

The downside for something like this is that the area outside of the spawner won’t have any particles, so it will look like it just started raining anywhere you go.

You could set up particle ‘tiles’ that are pre-computed and start full of rain, then just toggle them on and off depending on player position.

Brotherhood and Revelations are both continuations and upgrades from 2. I would not recommend playing all three back to back, but if you liked 2 they should be high on your list to play next.

Isn’t he out of contention since he has already reproduced?

Now for the real question: is it actually IRC or just an in-game IRC-like interface?

The greatest hacking game of all time, Uplink, has an actual IRC client that you can buy and install on your in-game systems.

IRC pops up a lot in less obvious places too. The in-game chat in Warframe is IRC, but it handles all the server and channel connecting, locking you out of connecting to arbitrary servers.

I do. A standard Oreo is 10g of easy, enjoyable sugar. If my blood sugar is on a downswing and I project I’ll get too low, I grab one or two out of the cupboard.

They are a medical supply and are dosed as such.

The o is a head and the 7 is an arm/hand. It’s a text form of 🫡.

This attack hit airbases all over Russia. Smuggling operators into Siberia to fly the drones seems unreasonable.

JWO hasn’t shut down. The system got polished enough for them to sell it to other companies, so they don’t need their own test-platform locations anymore.

JWO and similar systems do not reduce labor. The people working cashier become customer service attendants. These systems are valuable when the issue is throughput and sales are being lost at peak times. Airport convenience stores and stadium concession stands, for example, can get significantly higher revenue for the same footprint.

On the other hand, the only way to get good training data is to generate data indistinguishable from the real-world scenario and then have humans mark it up the way you want the system to do it. You might as well have the data actually be from the real world and recoup some of the costs with sales.

They didn’t take a pirate game and slap the AC name on it. They took an AC game with ship mechanics, dialed down the assassin, and dialed up the ships.

It’s a direct iteration on AC3 in every way.

People also can develop T1 well after birth. It’s often caused by a mis-targeted immune response killing insulin production, as happened with me at 27 and nearly killed me.

They didn’t. They made mothers able to use HOV lanes without a second occupant, blocking the GOP’s attempts to use HOV lanes to normalize fetal personhood.

I’d have to go with the ubiquitous plastic bottle cap. A metal cap doesn’t reseal properly and just punching a hole in the side of the packaging is a no-go for obvious reasons.

And a 3! (Extreme Stunts)

I remember both fondly. I should spoil that memory some day…

It has very little gameplay. It’s a few mini games spread across a janky early-3D scene.

Lego Island 2 is much more game.

He quit his second job by not showing up.

A guy living in an oligarchs mansion in Vegas was appointed director of 2 federal law enforcement agencies.

This was comments, not posts. They were using a model to approximate the demographics of a poster, then using an LLM to generate a response counter to the posted view tailored to the demographics of the poster.

I’m also one of his constituents and originally had the same grumbles about the $v$ election. I know someone who worked with him in his old life as a nepobaby at the family company, however, so I asked them about him.

They said that he recognized his lack of real experience and perspective and made up for it by surrounding himself with a diverse group of people. He would invite those insights, absorb them, and give ample credit to those around him.

Watching him as governor, he appears to still do the same thing. He is passionate about things as if he had lived experience because he surrounds himself with those that do, amplifying their fight with his unfairly-acquired power.

Many modern games have a separate physics frame rate to avoid that issue, but tend to always have the physics process a fixed amount of ‘time’ regardless of how long the frame takes so that the physics is more consistent. If that lags, the whole game will pretty much play in slow motion.

Nobody can make a successful browser that is simpler. The moment a user hits a website that no longer works, they are going back to their old browser.

All these new features exist because websites replaced every single program most people used. Web browser now have to be capable of doing anything pretty well. It’s not some grand conspiracy to take over the internet, it’s providing the features devs want so they can deliver the things they want in the modern multiplatform no-install world.
