the Bandcamp lyrics on one small moment of silence has "maybe you'll see me around!" instead of "it doesn't make a single sound"

Copy elision - cppreference.com

it's either "thing must be initialised" or "things are nullable". C++ chose the formerโ€ฆ in the classic C++ fashion of "magically calling a constructor".

it's so ingrained in C++ that they had to make some special rules to declare when it _shouldn't_ happen en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/langua...

for best cost-per-year, consider Samsung or Google for 6 to 7 years of updates. for example, the Galaxy A07 will be updated until Sep 2031, and the Pixel 9a will be updated until Apr 2032.

they're more expensive than others, but you can use them for ~twice as long and the experience will be nicer

most of the copies don't even copy the "anti-clickbait" nature of the original thumbnail!! the thumbnail should succinctly answer the (seemingly simple) question in the title in the thumbnail itself to imply that the question is deeper than it looks

Drilling down on Kasane Teto's overseas success An exploration of why Kasane Teto, as she undergoes a tremendous reappraisal, has achieved such strong popularity outside of Japan

"While a post-Miku boom for Vocaloid has often emphasized the celebrity of producers over characters, overseas fans are now reasserting Teto's character, often with crippling back pain."

If you don't trust Google then you probably shouldn't use Gmail, but the claim it's training AI on your emails and attachments has *no real source that i have been able to find whatsoever*

And they said on the record that it doesn't matter whether you have the smart settings on or not, they don't.

unfortunately flags are intended to be temporary, and shouldn't be relied on long-term: chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src...

for a longer term solution, chromeenterprise.google/intl/en_au/p... should cover pretty much everything here and more

how far deep into the game have you gotten? I assume you've done Room 46 - which trophies do you have?

I stopped playing near the end of the postgame, so feel free to spoil anything if needed (maybe obfuscated using rot13 so others don't see)

The logo for SiIvaGuessr. The word "Guessr" uses a different font for each letter: the G in a Flintstones font, the U from Undertale, the E is the M from the Super Mario logo rotated 90 degrees, the two S's are from the Simpsons and Space Jam logos, and the R is from the Kirby: Planet Robobot logo.

Been working on this for a while now, and happy to finally share it with folks.

I absolutely love this!!

Could we get some more detailed stats in the share text? Specifically:

- separating source / joke in Sicko Mode, so Sicko Mode players can compare with standard players
- showing how many failed guesses you got before you got the answer

no, but it was announced by Capcom soon after it was announced during the JP Direct

my totally wild guess for #DELTARUNE Chapter 7: you will break the chapter select screen at the end of it, revealing Chapter 8. (5/4)

I think the normal route might break the prophecy too - #DELTARUNE was created because Toby was obsessed with an ending to a game he saw in a fever dream (www.nintendo.com/jp/topics/ar...) so it must be some kind of adaptable endingโ€ฆ such as breaking a prophecy (4/4)

the prevailing theory for deltarune.com/chapter5/ is that it implies the Weird Route will end in #DELTARUNE Chapter 5, breaking the meta prophecy, and presumably (from Ralsei's comments at the end of Chapter 4) breaking the in-game prophecy too. (3/4)

I think there's a meta prophecy: the #DELTARUNE chapter select screen. it shows 7 chapters and an icon/name for each chapter, even ones you haven't started yet. the meta prophecy is "DELTARUNE's story will have 7 chapters, hinted by the icons/names"โ€ฆ (2/4)

#DELTARUNE theorising: Chapter 4 resolves around the Prophecy. Gerson implies that you can follow your own footsteps, literally breaking the (glass) prophecyโ€ฆ (1/4)
