Well makes sense, as Lando is wearing a heavy set of plot armor.

Was going to recommend ifixit as well - I got the little toolkit and replacement parts from them and their guide was very useful.

I have a little foundation for this:

I’ve seen a lineup of hundreds of identical PCs all get the exact same OS image, and inevitably you’ll get one or two that are significantly slower than the rest.

Its my belief that sometimes there’s some sort of deeply embedded hardware flaw that makes some computers suck and there’s no amount of tweaks or reinstalling an OS that will fix it.

I had a cracked phone screen (which made ~half the screen unusable) and after an absolute debacle trying to get it fixed at a phone repair place, I finally just ordered the parts and did it myself.

I was intimidated because I haven’t messed with phone repairs before, but it came out great and works as it should.

Its not a major project but it was a weird stress and I feel much better having it fixed.

I honestly don’t know if this is a super great solution but we set up birdhouses and a bird feeder. Now that some birds have moved in, they tend to hang out in the garden each afternoon and pick it clean of bugs.

I haven’t found a reliable way to keep squirrels out though.

Essentially yeah, that’s the workflow. You can obviously set up a shortcut to the editor, as well as having .uproject files open with the editor as the default app, which will save you some time.

You’ll probably want to eventually figure out why UE5 is crashing (maybe just force lumen/nanite off to see if that’s it) as you cannot compile from Linux to Windows in 4.27 (If you’re looking to eventually share your projects), I believe this is only possible by using wine in ~5.7+, and there’s a Fab plugin for linux but it is only available in the 5.x versions of the engine (if you end up needing Fab for either content or more game template examples).

I think they would just take the money given to the hostages/charities back.

So really you’d just be threatening a bunch of bankers and tellers for a short time.

I don’t think a jury is going to see that as honorable or anything.

Now that you mention it - I don’t believe I’ve ever stopped playing a game for lack of story. I’m ok with a game just spawning me in and having me figure out what I’m supposed to do if it plays well.

On the other hand, I can’t think of any game I powered through mediocre gameplay to see what the plot was.

I might be wrong, but as far as I heard, any APK installed will have to go through Google’s dev verification.

A cursory glance at Fedidb says its probably around 50k.

I’d bet most users are lurkers.

I’d actually not assume the joint failure was his mistake. It could be something else unrelated or the customer doing something funky.

If you did bring it up, I wouldn’t assign blame and more assess the situation for other possibilities.

I feel like I’m missing some context here. There’s a new Gen 10 Pokémon game that’s got AI slop?

If I might ask, why isn’t it your jam? Is it the layout, missing a specific feature, or something else?

I would give the west side of Amarillo, Texas to the cows where they could run as their own sovereign nation.

I have a test desktop that I put Pop OS on (when I was testing distros) and it seems fine. I’m not a huge fan of Cosmic so far but its alright.

It would would be.

It was a trick. She knows Enter Sandman isn’t a Megadeth song, and now she knows you’re not a true metal fan.

The games over before it even started.

It is, mostly.

It was basically the state’s right to have an armed militia so that they may remain a free state.

Its supposed to be a take on this:

That’s as far as I got though.

Steaks are diminishing returns for the price.
Most people can tell a $30 steak is better than a $6 one, but I think most people aren’t going to get much of a difference between a $30 and a >$100 steak.
