I was born in 1977, and the fungi that destroyed most of Gros Michel seem to happen in 1950ies. But I can say for sure that bananas in my childhood were much tastier than now. Maybe because there are much more sorts of bananas except GM and Cavendish, or maybe GM was still sold and I was lucky to try it. Modern bananas are outright bland to me.

That’s the point of the OP of the thread. I’ve read though, that Gros Michel is stll grown in small farms, just not at scale.

Gros Michel was tastier than modern Cavendish anyway.

I would describe a framework as something that you embed your logic into, letting it orchestrate the flow for you. You can use several frameworks in one project.

Haven’t lost the game until your comment. 😬

In Russia monthly salary of $500 is above median.

Diablo (1996?)

I have the same question as thread starter. Do you move cursor with a joystick or use something else to select units, waypoints, etc.? I am a keyboard-mouse person and find using keyboard much more convenient than gamepad even in games that have gamepad as recommended input (like Castle Crashers and some platformers).

Used to successfully play shooters with keyboard only before mouse era (the last I remember vividly is Project IGI). But now I’m terrified at the thought of playing shooter or RTS without mouse.

Also curious how (if) people play DotA2 with controller.

Right now I’m enjoying Witchfire. Although it’s not just FPS, the FPS part is good, along with the atmosphere of medieval-inquisition times and a powerful witch yet to be faced.

Gameplay consists of sessions on several islands where you kill enemies, clear up events and gradually unlock new game parts. On successful extraction you bring back witchfire (the same thing as souls in Dark Souls) to spend on increasing of one of six characteristics.

There are a bunch of weapons unlocked through research and each upgradable up to 3 tiers, by completing requirement tied to each gun.

It is fun and keeps me engaged for several days already. But if you’re not into repeating runs and rather play story based FPS, or don’t really like the theme, maybe it’s better to pick something else.

You can make your own cert. To make sure your cert belongs to you (your site) it is signed by authority and the client then may verify that authority (which cetificate is preinstalled in their system) in fact had verified ownership of your site and then signed your cert claims with their private key.

There’s a sci-fi movie from USSR, “Kin-dza-dza”. The natives of another planet in another galaxy were telepathes, but used language consisting of only a few words. “Koo” was for almost any word, “kiu” for swearing, “ketse” for matches (most valuable asset) and a few more. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kin-dza-dza!

Computer games are no worse than hunting, board games, social game, or sports. It’s a kind of activity, which keeps your brain engaged, and some games also test your reaction. It’s a formiddable hobby, no worse than the others.

https://pioneerspacesim.net/ Although, after watching a few videos on how to play it, felt an itch to play Elite Dangerous. So haven’t played Pioneer much.

I think it was S3 Virge. Remember playing Tomb Raider with smooth textures.

Can’t stop playing Balatro since picking it up. There’s so many achievements to do. Even finished Jokerless challenge, took about month.

Otherwise Factorio, of course.

It is much better with a specialized strap, like this one for Quest: https://www.bobovr.com/ . Why standard one is so crappy, to the point of causing pain, is beyond my comprehension.

That is a scientifically correct answer. Not for this question, though.

YAML for human-written files, JSON for back-to-front and protobuf for back-to-back. XML is an abomination.

Yes, Fahrenheit is about humans, and Celsius is about the element that makes life possible. The latter is more generic.
