Yeah this is just good news.

Changing the character designs wouldn’t require an all new game. If they can come up with a signature gamemode and better characters, they could have some moderate success.

TBH I had a look at Deadlock’s characters as well and frankly they’re not that inspired and interesting either, but people really like that game because of how it plays. Still that’s in early development so the characters could improve. IMO if the Concord devs make the characters hot, people will pay and play. I’m not saying that’s a good or bad thing, just what I think.

What can I say, value is subjective, but at least to me it’s not what I would describe as Big Mac pricing.

This is a $70 game with a ‘season pass’ and the ultimate edition is $130. That’s hardly big mac price.

Sorry m8, I wasn’t exaggerating, and I just don’t have the time.

This is gonna be my last reply in this. You just don’t understand how matter conversion, mass conservation, combustion, energy conservation, animal and plant reproduction, and many other things work. I can’t teach you middle and high school science in comments on the internet, there are better resources out there. Best of luck and holy shit please do look into it and don’t make any assumptions or judgment calls because they are all wrong.

This guy’s videos. He has the perfect cadence and voice for it, and the right video length too. To be perfectly honest I have no idea if the content of the videos is good, but they’re very useful.

They ‘arise’ from the food the mother eats, inhales, etc… Her body processes and converts molecules, not atoms. She doesn’t create iron and calcium from other elements.

We don’t often speak of anything that matches your misunderstanding of how physics and chemistry work.

No thing is becoming any other thing. 2 things, one from the air and one from your body are getting tied together.

CO2 isn’t even an element… It’s not evidence because the premise is incorrect in the first place. O2 from the air you inhale is tied to C in your body and exhaled. Nothing happens to the O2, it doesn’t change. You don’t even tie all the O2 you inhale to C.

I have the same card. If those are your options, wait for the 5 series, but I would have a look at AMD as well.

Deskmat under the keyboard

Tape and/or foam mods in the case (will change the pitch of the sound, which might disturb less)

O-rings, but these will change how they keyboard feels. I didn’t like them

Foam inserts for keycaps - like o-rings but foam. never tried them

Lubricating the stabilizers - should mitigate some space and enter key rattle

If your keyboard supports hotswap, new switches are a more expensive option.

Take this with a grain of salt, because I had a high school education that focused on English and got a Cambridge C2 proficiency certificate.

English has relatively simple grammar and sentence structure, and while spelling is inconsistent with pronunciation, it’s easier for me to intuit compared to French. I think the hardest sounds for us in English that aren’t tied to an accent are “th” (both in the “the” or “three” varieties) and the “soft” R (I don’t know what else to call it). “Earth” can sound pretty funny unless you practice.

I think it’s not uncommon for someone in Romania who speaks English to have a pretty thick accent but otherwise get most word order or conjugation right. That said, I think most people don’t speak English.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Romanian is technically a romance language, so any shared French loanwords will help too.

I’m romanian and took french in school. Absolutely not. We have so many common words that are completely slavic or otherwise non-romance. Marar, patrunjel, leustean, broasca, facalet, carucior, etc.

Even the words that exist in both languages are just pronounced too differently. Pain sounds nothing like paine. The first is a single syllable and the n is short and nasaly. The second is a 2-syllable word and you say every letter. In fact, unlike in french, you say almost every letter in romanian.

No

When you join a company early, and there aren’t many other people employed, you make much more of a difference than if you’re one of thousands. You have much more influence in defining the product, steering the direction of the company, defining the workplace culture.

You’re not wrong that employees are replaceable, and the company will replace you if it needs or wants to, but in the beginning, it can very much feel like you’re part of a group of people who are working together to effectively build lives, support their families, interests, etc. The company isn’t just a legal entity that exchanges money for labor, it’s a thing you’re helping build with a kind of community, that you’re investing time into in exchange for the means to a better life.

I agree with this, but you should teach your kids, not other people’s kids. I avoid it around kids because their parents don’t want me to do it, but I do cuss in casual conversation.

I disagree, there are definitely places where it’s necessary and it’s always appropriate where it’s necessary. It’s not a fallback for anything, it’s not a failure of the language. It’s a feature, not a bug. Probably don’t want to do it in formal environments, but even then there are times when it is absolutely the right language to use.
