WTF? Where in europe do people say that? Limonade is fuzzy water lemon, and sugar. Sprite is a crap soda beverage. They do not even compare

While I mostly agree, I'd like to point out that GOFAI (good old fashioned AI) exists, and at its core it is basically just pathfinding like a* or something similar. And we still call that AI, because it "intelligently" finds a path quickly.

So my main point is that I agree that it isn't magic or sapient or anything, but in a sense it is definitely intelligent.

The setting of the book is ww2, children are evacuated via planes, but the planes are shot down, and only the children survive on island without any parents left. And the story begins around here. This is what the meme is referencing.

I'm not the guy you are replying to, but that is just not how the world works.

According to steam's own survey (https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam?platform=combined) osx (aka mac) users make up a whopping 1.4% of steam's players. Now the question is: is it worth it to put in the work for mac? (work which i might add only works on mac as the apis that work on linux and windows do NOT work properly on mac)

Valve's answer is no. Put simply even though they take 30%, its very clear that mac users do not make up a huge enough user base to put in the work. In other words the costs of mac development might exceed the income they'd get from max players (but this is just speculation, the point is, its very that Valve thinks its not profitable to develop for mac)

Why put in the work for linux then you might ask? Well linux uses the same APIs in most cases as windows (Vulkan, OpenGL, and in case of directx, vulkan can "emulate" directx), so its a lot less work to be compatible with linux than it is with mac. Also Valve owns a console which uses linux as an os, so they do not have to rely on propriatary windows.

Anyway my point is development costs are probably higher than the income they get from mac players.

Sphere from Micheal Crichton. Both the movie and the book are pretty good.

It is more sci-fi than anything else, but i think it fits the thriller category as well. Without going into spoilers, it is a story about scientists being deep down in the ocean, and strange things happening.

I have one as well, but let's not overpraise it. That handheld isn't a "ps4 as a handheld" (obviously since the vita came out 2012 or 2011 cant remember which). And sadly it struggles to play its generation's games (i.e. Borderlands 2 (one of my favs on vita) runs at 20-40 fps).

There are great games that showcase its abilities auch as the killzone game, but that was made for that system.

And let us not forget that it wasn't a successful handheld. There is a reason sony hasn't made a new handheld device since.

I think its something like "think of how stupid the average person is, and realize that half of people are even more stupid than that".
