> The British Army was very upset that ragtag riflemen in the American colonies kept running into the woods and shooting from behind cover instead of standing in a Proper Formation

didn't skirmishers always do that though?

> didn't skirmishers always do that though?

The European war tradition was open fields and men standing in lines firing volleys from 50-100m, roughly. Americans fought in the French/Indian wars alongside Native Americans and picked up their hit-and-run tactics. They were also using rifled barrel Kentucky Longrifles that could hit a man-sized target at 250m (roughly). The Americans also would directly target officers, which was seen as cowardly/ungentlemanly.

The idea of eating pudding made out of blood sounds gross to me, but I love dipping chips in the juices that pour out of a cooked steak.

The juices in steak are not blood; they're primarily made up of water and myoglobin. The statement from folks that they like their steak 'bloody' is a misnomer.

i dont want any smegging toast!

Smeg actually makes a toaster. It's expensive, looks cute, and doesn't work that well when compared to a far cheaper toaster oven.

This applies to most Smeg products. Which is a shame, they used to be really good and long-lasting.

I can't speak to their quality, but every time I see their name, I wonder about how they're received in England: Americans might generally be unaware, but "smeg" as a name doesn't land well there, as I understand it.

A UK comedy called RedDwarf used variations of smeg as a mild expletive quite liberally. When asked some of the producers claimed they made it up to get around broadcast rules, but most people think it's a shortening of smegma.

Aaaah, so you're a waffle man.

No. I don't want no waffles. No toast. No crumpets. No scones. No smegging heated bread products of any kind.

So, do you want a slice of toast?

That explains Major Zero and his organisation Cipher in the metal gear series

What did you think of the puzzles?

I found them quite boring since they are all repetitions on the same theme - just drawing lines on a square. It could have been a mobile game. The world doesn't feel connected to the puzzles, and the exploration aspect of it could have been a completely separate game. It feels like two games glued together, which is IMO not a good design.

It's also not a game that's very demanding from a technical performance perspective, and really has very limited numbers of active entities / animations, so why should I care about his opinions on game architecture or anything else?

And programming is just pressing buttons on a keyboard.

> It could have been a mobile game.

I tried to play it on iOS and found the controls clunky. Interacting with some of the puzzles was difficult with my thumbs in the way.

Monotonous. More of the same. I mean, I can appreciate the creativity behind squeezing every drop from the concept, but I saw no fun in solving them.

I like puzzle games (Baba is You is fantastic) but I also didn't get far into The Witness. Braid was fantastic though.

I think 3D FPS is generally a terrible interface to puzzles. This is 2D though so maybe it will be better.

> women were a huge population of programmers

wasn't that there were a lot of women working as operators, but that job went away along with the punch cards.

> You still cannot play a game C from my library while I play the game A from my own library.

I just tried it, and I could.

I started after channels started removing their own videos because they either didn't think the videos were good enough or they had a mental break and deleted their channel. So good stuff just gone.

Or because someone else made them take them off. Or because they were deemed 'too dangerous'. Or worse.

Cody's lab removed a few of them and many others.

There was one instance where a prominent "doujin" musical artist got fingered as a thief. Away went all of their videos, except... he'd packaged them as something completely different from wherever he'd taken them from. One song in particular sucked to lose, because its sibling still exists as an "extended" upload. So, I can listen to the one any time, but the other, I simply know that it once existed, and that it might still exist somewhere else, just under a different title. I can't even remember how it went.

Some of the old YTPs were fantastic. They don't exist now.

Generations of talent & creativity just gone.

What's a "YTP"?

A recent one I had was needing to include lifetimes to having to atleast specify the anon lifetime with the underscore. I forget what the actual circumstance was.

I wonder what would happen if your parents didn't leave the house to anyone, and you don't claim it but squat it.

Afaik you can "abandon it", or when you decline an inheritance its automatically going to the gov, hence you would be illegal trespassing after this point.
