Climate Change Or A Gas Stove Claims Another Sudden Death.

In an ongoing trend, another fit, young life was snuffed suddenly. It seems as if there are no age limits to be expected when one dies suddenly. Currently, there are very few organizations, willing to proclaim what these poor souls had in common. While some people are being labeled conspiracy purveyors, vaccine deniers and disseminators of disinformation many of us are realizing a new trend, that we’re calling, reality denial.

Turning your house into a #smarthome can look like a great idea on paper...

BUT it's also a total #privacy and #security nightmare: depending on what you decide to use, you're putting live feeds of your home on the internet, a complete map of your house, voice recordings of your kids, and a lot more.

Let's see why the smart home is, in most cases, a dumb idea (unless you spend some time doing it right, of course):

Door now has a sound effect.

I've also realized that the way I'm storing assets in RAM is inefficient (I've actually knew that since the beginning but I haven't bothered to fixed it). I need to implement an asset manager class and have each object store pointers to said assets. Right now, each object stores entire textures/sounds when they should be storing pointers instead.

All the "you're perfect as you are, idk who you are but I love and accept you no matter what" shit is fucking retarded

No man except God is perfect. Everyone has flaws and room to improve. This shit is just a coping mechanism to prevent improvement and the desire for it.

Sure, keep being exactly how you are forever, I'm sure it's a great idea...

When we initially conceived of revising the OGL, it was with three major goals in mind. First, we wanted the ability to prevent the use of D&D content from being included in hateful and discriminatory products.

Imagine calling your license “Open Game License (OGL)” and trying to limit speech.

Player position is now defined in the map file. The second line of numbers determines the player's x and y position (in tiles).
