As with pretty much any staple food. It’s used as a filler. The reason you might not understand is that it can be expensive to eat only meat, veggies, etc. A cheap staple like rice, noodles, or bread is a good way not to die of starvation or at the least keep some money in your pocket.
If a staple food isn’t part of your daily diet, that speaks a bit of privilege on your economic position.
Also I enjoy rice. It’s neutral tasting but with a tiny bit of seasoning it’s good.
Nice catch. I usually do but it slipped my mind.
Exchange contact info with someone after the accident then that someone is extremely petty. That’s my guess.
Nice harder drive. Here’s a vid of more examples of silly ways to store data: https://youtu.be/JcJSW7Rprio
I didn’t grow up in a city, but currently live in one. I see teens take public transit to the mall and such. Wish I could have done that instead of relying on parents to drive me everywhere.
Honestly not that stupid. I have seen SD cards break. And for certain applications, like professional photography, having a more physically reliable medium is a good thing.
But I think cameras with dual SD cards for redundancy are more important.

Aspartame has about the same amount of calories as sugar (4kcal per gram). But it’s much more sweet so you need very little of it. So there is a very tiny amount of sweetener which does contain calories but it’s rounded down to 0.
Any Paradox game. Oxygen Not Included. Factorio. Civilization. Rimworld. Dwarf Fortress. The list goes on.
For me I think it’s about having non-stop and parallel mini problems/puzzles/goals. By the time one task is finished. There’s two more to take its place.
That doesn’t make sense depending on the context. New I2C standard switched to controller/target for example. This conveys that one device is controlling the other devices.
A well insulated freezer that never opens would use very little power once it’s already cooled. The impressive bit of this comic would be large thin pieces of glass providing enough insulation.
I’m also in the desktop camp. But I just purchased a Framework 16. The upgradable dGPU (assuming they release new ones) might make laptops more viable for gaming.
It does work for most games. MPV player supports it as well. It’s still rough around the edges, but it’s definitely there.
As with anything pushing technical limits, there’s always risk. But what you’re describing isnt purely an issue of pushing realism in gaming, it’s an issue of pushing for profits above all else. These exact practices happen in less realistic game development as well.
Anyway, as stated, I don’t think all games should try to push the graphical envelope. Most games I play don’t attempt this. But I’m glad games like TLOU2 exist and appreciate the devs behind it.
Pushing the limits of technology is how technology improves. Not all games need to do this, but I don’t see it as a bad thing that some do.
Good news, It’s coming out on PC.
I do this for LAN parties. Easier to fly with a steam deck and portable monitor than my desktop. I’m not looking to buy a gaming laptop just for LANs.
I got it for free with a CPU I bought. Played roughly 3 hours before I stopped. It was just too boring.
