    Turkish delight rule
  • back in the day people thought rosewater flavor was the shit.

    Today it still has its fans, but like anchovies on pizza, most people today have different tastes and don't like it so much.

  • IDK what people are on in this thread; rosewater is a traditional flavor (one not suited for the modern palate) but you can make it in whatever flavor you want.

    Tt's basically just a giant jelly bean with no outer shell, and if you get it in a good flavor it's pretty tasty

    Two moods
  • Then there's Lin-ux, or Line-ux, I don't know how you say it,

    or how you install it, or use it, or play it,

    or how you download it, or what programs run,

    but Lin-ux, or Line-ux, don't look like much fun.

    Why??
  • The Association of German National Jews, colloquially known as the "Jews for Hitler", was a German Jewish organization during the Weimar Republic and the early years of Nazi Germany that eventually came out in support of Adolf Hitler. The organization was founded by Max Naumann, who was sent to a concentration camp after the rise of Hitler.

    TIL about Tetrachromacy, a condition which lets you see more colors. Normal people can see about 1 million colors, while tetrachromats may see up to 100 million. Up to 12% of women may have it.
  • There is a lot of misinformation about tetrachromacy and sadly this article perpetuates some of it. 12% of women are dormant tetrachromats, which means they have extra sets of cones but don't actively use the extra ones. And the article suggests men are "less likely" to be tetrachromats, which is technically true, but misleading, since men cannot be tetrachromats at all.

    "Do you live in the Midwest?" by self-report
  • South of the Mason-Dixon Line includes almost half of your own state of Illinois, and multiple other states that remained loyal to the union.

    Did you perhaps mean to refer to the 36°30′ parallel that was used in the Missouri Compromise?

    Personally I'm more worried about the 3% of Iowa who doesn't consider itself the Midwest.

    Unity apologizes and updates their infamous Runtime Fee
  • So, I still don't trust Unity, and wouldn't in good faith advise its use moving forward given that there's no way to know they wont try to pull this again in the future (especially given that John "Pay a Dollar to Reload" Riccitiello hasn't resigned in disgrace as CEO). However, I feel there's a part of the letter that you've left conspicuously out of this response.

    But you still never answered how we can trust the install numbers that your tool supposedly collects

    They addressed this, see this copied paragraph, emphasis mine:

    For games that are subject to the runtime fee, we are giving you a choice of either a 2.5% revenue share or the calculated amount based on the number of new people engaging with your game each month. Both of these numbers are self-reported from data you already have available. You will always be billed the lesser amount.

    This also addresses two your immediate followup concerns, piracy and install-bombs -- always being billed the lesser amount would act as a safety valve against unprofitable install spikes, on top of the fact that using licensee-reported numbers allows for agency on the part of the licensee to screen for malicious activity before being billed.
