The concept of achievements could be interesting if most of them hadn't just become a checklist of things to do.
God of War 1, for example, had an achievement for dying enough to be offered Easy mode, but didn't have an achievement for beating it on any of the harder difficulties.
Like everything in gaming it was watered down for mass appeal.
That's something that homeschoolers "can" do with all the free time that they have from not going to school.
Or they can sit in a corner of their basement for 16 hours a day reading their parents manifesto on how the government wants to steal their dental fillings.
It turns out that humanity has the entire spectrum covered.
I'm pretty sure testing blood is ridiculously simple. Anybody with the ability to actually swap blood between people (in anything resembling a proper way...) should have thousands of those little test strips.
I think you can even just mix the blood types and see if they get all sticky outside the body, but maybe ask a doctor before relying on that one.
Sure, it can show you icons extremely quickly, but that doesn't mean it's ready to do anything.
My Win10 machine pegs the disk at 100% for the first 5 minutes after every boot. If I make the mistake of actually trying to open Visual Studio during that time it can take up to 15 minutes to become responsive.
I honestly haven't seen anything quite like it since the LOAD "*",8,1 days.
In my limited experience with "Early Access", it means the dev gets his payday early and then screws off onto another project with no incentive to ever really finish.
But shouldn't the autonomous vehicle stop anyway? As a human, you 'know' they're going to stop. And 99.9% of the time you'll be right.
But eventually the human driver will be wrong and you'll end up with a family plastered across the highway.
Would you shrug your shoulders and move on if the autonomous vehicle ran over that same family and the debug log had a line saying "They should have stopped at the median"?

It also works the other way around.
I enjoyed South Park: the Stick of Truth. It was a fun enough game that the sequel was going to be an instant purchase on release day.
Instead, I load up the page on Steam and see that it's protected by Denuvo. I did not purchase the game.
Maybe I'll grab it on another system, maybe I'll wait and see if the protection ever gets removed, I dunno.
What I do know is that I "could" easily grab a pirated copy and it would work fine. I have too much of a backlog of games to bother with that sort of thing these days, but their DRM has cost them a day 1 sale.

Way to play into their hands and place the surveillance device directly into a cantenna.

Who said they were quick to fix it?
But if we have two pieces of information, "They did nothing" and also "it is fixed", then that causes some confusion.
Where does the machine dump all the work particles it creates from that energy?
and no one has attacked anyone. What's your definition of "worked"?

Since when is it not?
Anything's a legally binding document if you're brave enough.
You can trust it perfectly fine as a legal document.
Always keep your legal documents up to date, whether they're kept with a lawyer or on your skin.
What do you do if you change your mind over a proper DNR request?
It's far easier to overwrite a tattoo than to get in to see a lawyer.
He did go through the proper legal process to register a DNR.
The tattoo was the only thing that made them bother to check for it. Without the tattoo he was getting R'd with no investigation.

I had a streaming PC running a TwitchPlays for over a month.
No, this is not standard usage for most people.
Yes, it eventually rebooted without my permission.
"It's extremely fast."

What actual science exists that has anything to say on anything outside of the physical world?
> How many people you think we could feed for the half a trillion dollars we've spent on the F-35?
Are you suggesting we take money from the welfare program and funnel it into some sort of welfare program?

There was a whole arc about how Neelix was jealous of Tom Paris giving her attention.
Is fire alive?
Any truck driver that counts on human drivers being sane will accidentally kill a lot of them.

What if it's a picture of 281 characters?

It would be harder for them to discover, but there's no reason aquatic life couldn't develop fire at the surface.
They head up there often enough to breath, they could see a fire happen some time.
I support spending tons more on cancer research, and much less on pink ribbons.
I agree that it still needs to find its footing, but it's still far more entertaining as it is than most of the other crap available to watch.
