Yes I've been paying attention, however it remains baffling to me as I see curiosity as essential as breathing or eating, so perhaps the question may be better asked as, how is inhibiting curiosity not recognized as a form of abuse?

Do you guys think we use Steam because we HAVE to? GoG exists bros, we’re using Steam because we prefer it.

Do you think many are aware of options like GOG? Every other time I've seen it mentioned/suggested, it's often accompanied by, "What's GOG?"

The other part of the question remains however, what happens when leadership changes, even supposing no sale of the company?

Oh, I hadn't read of it in that form, thanks!

What happens when the leadership or ownership changes hands?

This reminds me, anyone happen to have any contemporary dinosaur books with updated illustrations?

Sort of silly question, but have you also tried closing and reopening the software?

How do you indoctrinate the curiosity out of people? 😬

Thanks for the response, and the link! It's interesting info, and good pointers to look to some of the existing tools from your OS and/or hardware providers for getting a start into whatever you're working on.

I think I might have made the mistake of thinking they wouldn't be available and only bothering to look till after trying a lot of other indirect methods, so it's a good reminder to check for any available official tooling and then supplement them with others where needed.

Clay is often baked and hardened, however, is it not? What if it remained rather soft?

Thanks for elaborating! I'm pretty sure I've written some variations of the first form you mention in my learning projects, or broken them up in some other ways to ease myself into it, which is why I was asking as I did.

 

This is something on tvs and even PC monitors/speakers that's left me a little confused. Sliders/incremental input are okay for basic settings adjustments, but if you know exactly what you want your settings at...Why isn't there a direct number input option on more devices?

E.g. brightness: slider/increment or input number within [range].
Volume: slider/increment or input number within [range].

I was helping adjust a somewhat newer tv awhile back and it brought this back to mind.

 

Not a remake or remaster or rerelease of something old, but something inspired or influenced by something either popular or a cult classic. Also this could extend to hardware/tech too, not only media.

 

Would you prefer a hands-off, leave them to their own devices kind of approach, a keep at arms reach gently advise, or something else altogether?

 

As in lots of water slides as a way around, pools for the splashings (or whatever you call a watery landing), and in general whatever else a water park may have going on.

btw...i've never been to a water park, but I know the horror stories surrounding them...Let's just imagine somehow those are addressed here.

 

For those unaware, Lichess is a really slick site for playing chess online, and a kinda similar site exists with Online Go for playing Go online.

Would love to know if there may be similar for classic card games and dominoes, and thanks in advance for any pointers!

 

This is something I've gone back & forth over as I've contributed to some projects online but have been hesitant to mention it when applying for jobs. Typical reasons such as wanting to keep work/personal life separate.

 

Was it one of the only places you found a forum for something you were interested in or a fan of? Or something else entirely?

 

Creatives of whichever fields, whether writers, artists, musicians, meme-makers, developers, film makers, and the like and/or communities, I'm curious to know about some of the people around the fediverse creating some original stuff.

I know of a few over on the Mastodon side, and some communities forming here, but I imagine there are way more I'm unaware of.

 

Emphasis on the some, as I know all too well the old tale of no one not enjoying [subject] more than fans of [subject]. Also to be really clear, this isn't intended as a dig at those that don't become jaded, so much as genuine curiosity.

I've had the misfortune of really enjoying some genre stories only to find it harder to maintain interest in others I come across due to overfamiliarity making what might otherwise be interesting twists or turns feel a little...Predictable. It's a bummer that even taking breaks from some genres doesn't seem to assuage.

 

Preferably realistic features, but if your perfect shoe involves some kinda anti-grav hover features, I'd absolutely understand.

Heelies? Pfft, check out my real hover-slides.

 

Was a lot of it classic word of mouth, email, etc.?

I imagine something like that, but I'm wondering as I feel like there may be some useful pieces of knowledge that may be worth recalling as people gradually start to move back out of the more centralized sites/services.
