Peggle is part of the realm of games that became mobile games after modern smartphones became a thing. Casual gameplay, short levels so you could play for a few minutes and leave, lots of levels that are essentially the same to give good playtime for the development cost. Just on a PC and without the whale hunting that microtransactions later brought.

Have you heard of Peglin? It is the basic gameplay of Peggle but with roguelite RPG elements.

8·4 days agoBoth Mistborn ages are really tight, making them easy reads. Intriguing magic, moving story, great characters.
Stormlight has all the same elements, but it lets every character have their own storyline. It’s sprawling. It lets you see more sides of it.

18·4 days agoEarthsea is beautiful. There aren’t very many books, and they were written across 50ish years. They evolved with the genre, allowing readers a clear window into how we got to the modern works of Jordan, Sanderson, etc.

29·11 days agoThe claim that they are doing a clean-room implementation is bullshit. The only way any of these models are able to make any working code is by being trained on every bit of code that could be scraped from the internet. Unless the project you are cloning was released after the model was trained, it was trained on the code. It may be a tiny fragment of the training data, but it still saw it.
My situation was abnormal since I was running the procurement for food service at a zoo, so those photos were from my warehouse. It lets me joke about a level of organization basically no restaurant can have.
We’d have to run a BIB across the park when someone forgot to ask for it the night before, so not everything was paradise.

Nope. They were floating in the ketchup instead of being embedded in the wall of the bag.

You gotta keep 'em organized!

For a few years, I kept them on a shelf at head height. That was a mistake that I let go on too long.
It is mixed with CO2 and lots of water. usually about 5:1, so this BIB makes 30 gallons of soda.
Free-style is Coke’s brand of pick-your-flavor touchscreen hell.
Here’s Heinz Ketchup/mustard keystone bags:

As a bonus, here’s a used bag from a batch that probably should have been recalled due to a packager malfunction:

They didn’t even colorpick-paint it out, which would be super easy with this style. They used a sloppy content-fill magic erase tool that smudged the panel line out into the cell.

3·15 days agoIt’s been two years since I read the book, but everything lined up with my memory. For two days after seeing it, my wife was unpacking stuff and asking me to explain things, which I was able to do.
She loved the movie without the context and I loved it with it. It was fun seeing her think I’d drug her to see a horror movie for about a minute at the end of the first act.

Jr High teacher, so they’d be a few years past being her students. Age gap is problematic, but I don’t see any school-related abuse of power there.
