I work for a competing company in the same space. We have found that self-serve kiosks do not cut labor. They increase throughput at peak times and, by extension, increase guest satisfaction and revenue. We often have to hire more people to keep up with increased demand, while still employing a similar number of people helping guests as were cashiers before.

Edit: Ah, Fenway is Aramark. They don’t care at all about guest satisfaction. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are slashing labor in self-service stands.

Roblox is not a game engine. It’s a child labor farm. Stay well away.

There are a lot of simple tutorials for Godot. It’s not hard to get into.

Targeting payment processors to force change within a business often leads to overreaction. That’s how we got Onlyfans announcing that it was banning porn entirely. Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal become quite unreasonable when these groups start gaining traction.

This same group pushed to get Detroit: Become Human pulled because it has the player controlling a victim of abuse protecting another victim. There is zero nuance to their target choices. If they get pull with payment processors, they can go “this is a child abuse simulator!” and get something like that pulled with less public support behind them.

I haven’t played with 2D particles, but in 3D you can make the spawned particles not behave as if they are parented to their spawning node. It allows you to spawn them in a moving area, but not move with the area.

I can’t remember the option, but it’s in the inspector.

The downside for something like this is that the area outside of the spawner won’t have any particles, so it will look like it just started raining anywhere you go.

You could set up particle ‘tiles’ that are pre-computed and start full of rain, then just toggle them on and off depending on player position.

Is it a raptor that preys on monkeys?

Okay, so they took an actual photo but it had no identifying marks, so they dumped it into one of the chat bots and asked it to slap a logo in the corner. The chatbot fired up its diffusion model and went to town diffusing everything else while adding the logo.

The image can be reasonably called non-ai-generated, but whoever manages their socials is inept.

Doesn’t want neighbors joining defensive pact powerful enough to protect them from your aggression

Proves that the only route to safety on your border is to join said defensive pact.

Brotherhood and Revelations are both continuations and upgrades from 2. I would not recommend playing all three back to back, but if you liked 2 they should be high on your list to play next.

Sony wanted the games to require PSN login. They got enough pushback that they stopped, but they left the games locked out for regions that don’t have PSN.

This attack hit airbases all over Russia. Smuggling operators into Siberia to fly the drones seems unreasonable.

If your primary usecase is text, don’t get a color e-reader. There are significant downsides to the display quality for very little benefit.

If you are wanting to read comics, manga, or illustrated guides, then you will want the color.

I’m a big fan of the Kobo Libra design. It’s friendly to software mods and has a rail for holding it with a nice big button that sits under the thumb for page turning.

I find that the Kindle-style thin bezel gives no comfortable way to hold an e-reader since the only good place to put your thumb is on the screen, the primary input method. It leads to a bad experience and turns people off from e-readers.

I tossed KOReader on my Kobo Libra 2 recently after a year of thinking it didn’t add anything useful. Oh boy, was I wrong.

It’s so much faster, I can dial in the formatting exactly how I want it, and I can customize the inputs to my liking. Page turn only on physical buttons, tap a corner to toggle dark mode, etc.

They didn’t take a pirate game and slap the AC name on it. They took an AC game with ship mechanics, dialed down the assassin, and dialed up the ships.

It’s a direct iteration on AC3 in every way.

This article is useless. The only source hyperlink links to another article on this site. The two articles disagree on whether the feature saves fuel or not with neither linking a source. Both spend a lot of time whinging about the feature being annoying.

He wrote 14 episodes of Alf and created Thornberries. The rest of those were single episodes.

The Simpsons episode was from season 2. Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment, where Homer gets pirate cable service.

I’d have to go with the ubiquitous plastic bottle cap. A metal cap doesn’t reseal properly and just punching a hole in the side of the packaging is a no-go for obvious reasons.

This is a international variant of the video. The intention is to have the text rendered as a forced subtitle so that it can be localized without having to serve a different video for every language.

They don’t have the English version doing that, likely because it was assumed it would serve the original video instead.

Is his hat embroidered backwards? The Walmart sign and his shirt are both mirrored, but his hat isn’t.

Or being able to get nothing as diet/zero because they never replace the non-hfcs BIBs.

Half of restaurants seem to forget what backup is when they get these machines.
