There's a patent on the game mechanic?

googled it

Yup, that is crazy. At least it's only for another 11 years. Just think about how old you will be before you'll ever see that game mechanic again.

Which games are those?

That sounds really cool.

Thanks for the reply.

This seems like a great way to ensure that the player can't beat the level. I assume there's a maximum difficulty where the enemy is still possible to beat?

Also, when does the boosted difficulty reset for the level? After beating it? I am not a fan of frustrating games, so I can't even imagine playing a game like this without just quitting.

What is the mechanic? I've never played it.

I hate that it came to this, after so many Rust devs left, but all I can say is "Good."

It happened to a friend who wasn't passing in the proper types into their stored procedures, all strings, and "null" (not case sensitive) conflicted with actual null values. Everything in the web interface were strings, and so was null.

For some people it takes this mistake before they learn to always care about the data types you're passing in.

I don't know how some people find the time to do anything but help take care of mom and the baby. I was either sleeping or helping while trying to find time for food.

It was over a matter of honor, of course.

Great list! I would just add The Majority Report if you're looking to learn more about politics while also trying to understand what is happening today. They do a ~2.5-hour live show every weekday which includes a quick overview of the latest headlines for today, an interview of someone with knowledge about some politics-related topic, and then an hour of mostly right wing videos that they discuss, argue with, and vent about.

I love it for how informative it is and for keeping me sane.

I love melodysheep. The music is very good.
