As a parent myself now, I completely understand this behavior.

I’m shocked, shocked that outsourcing public sector contracts to the lowest bidder results in this scenario.
I mean, it would have been better if they had dropped their ties with the weapons companies.
I cant help but feel this is some sort of password reset question farming…
Anyway,

Is it though?
Fair point. I get that this isn’t aimed at me. I’m not a sugar fiend. But the big food manufacturers will just replace it with artificial sweeteners, which to me at least taste awful. I used to enjoy the odd Fentimans Ginger Beer, but now it tastes like hand soap and all I can thing about is that Godfather meme… “look how they massacred my boy” 😥
Let’s not. They’ll just fill them with sweeteners instead and everything will taste like ass. Personally, whenever I have the odd fizzy drink I buy the stuff with sugar and pay the extra. The rest of the crap can get into the sea.
Me. I work in video games, and I have kids.
This is exactly what I do too!
Personally, I don’t expose the port externally, so I’m not sharing photos via Immich right now. I host locally and it is on a proper domain with a lets encrypt certificate, and I use Gandi Live DNS to update the dynamic IP, but my DDWRT router is set up to only allow access from internal IP addresses and my current WAN IP. It does work externally, but like you I am bit vary of it. That doesn’t just apply to immich. I do the same with my Next Cloud.
Immich is great. I very much recommend it as a replacement for Google photos.
As a game studio - a developer rather than a publisher - it’s very much hand to mouth. You are paid by the publishers on delivery of milestones. Milestone reviews can sometimes be subjective. You’re basically the lowest link in the food chain and can be subject to a publisher’s whim, which can often be a bit random depending on your external producer. Keeping such a studio open in the long term is about chasing new contacts, and any gaps between contacts is expensive because you aren’t generating any income, but are having to pay wages. One or two project cancellations can easily shutter an independent developer.
In some cases studio owners may simply want out, or they might legitimately see a sale as bringing stability to the studio… Or it might just be greed. But I think it’s hard to say whether an studio would have a safer long term future being independent or being sold.
Reddit is Fun is not Reddit.
Most games, especially so called Triple A games, have too much text and NPC dialog. The last thing we need is more of this crap that the developers don’t even care about enough to write. How about we focus on making the gameplay good and not how we can fire more developers?
The whole Internet?
No PETSCII?!
When I was in the office and buying beans for our automatic machine the Lavazza beans were the most reliable, consistent and highest quality “supermarket” beans I could find for a reasonable price. Personally I liked the Rossa. For myself at home I do use a local small batch roaster and get a subscription. It’s about twice as much cost wise but still works out at only 40p (I’m in the UK) for an espresso, which I’m happy with.
I used to have a bean to cup machine and this is basically the only way I could do it with a single hopper. I didn’t weigh it. I just used a scoop and got it down so I could eyeball the amount of beans per serving. It’s not too onerous. The thing to keep in mind is that most of these machines use a timer to dose the beans, so it’s not by weight. It also varies by beans, roast etc. Some beans will take longer to grinder than others. Finally I’d always aim to put slightly less beans in the hopper than the machines timer called for, to make sure there wouldn’t be any left for the next cup.
Oat milk is probably the best, imho. Although don’t dismiss soya milk, especially the barista versions. Personally I went cold turkey on milk in coffee years ago and never looked back. If it’s lacking something without milk, try different coffee! 20 years ago I was a 100% grande latte drinker, but now I’m a freshly ground double espresso every morning.
I’ve not read any reviews or previews, but the blurb makes this sound lamentable.
