%25 is the URL encoding for 0x25 (or 37 decimal), the ASCII code for the percent sign. Basically it seems to recognize that it is a URL and then URL-encode characters that are not allowed in URLs
You have to be a special kind of stupid to think games that rely on things like immersion, mood, power fantasies,... can be improved by adding multiplayer.
In general there is nothing that quite destroys atmosphere and mood and immersion as easily as multiplayer if there is just one person not acting in character (and there pretty much always is).
A0 is also exactly 1 square meter which makes it easy to figure out the number of pages of e.g. A4 from weight if you know what kind of gramm per square meter paper you are dealing with (which is why that is often part of the packaging).
The aspect ratio of the two sides is the square root of 2 since you otherwise couldn't divide it again and again and get sizes with the same aspect ratio.
Ah, I remember those days, back when sci-fi movies had fancy notions such as multi-pass.
I am not saying they can't post links to the posts to all social media platforms, just that the actual post should be on some regular website.
I don’t need to make world changing decisions when I’m playing “hero.”
This is something so many story tellers in gaming and movies don't get. The story doesn't have to be about saving the world, the universe, the multiverse or the entire nature of reality. In fact, I would prefer it if the stakes are low enough that the protagonist has actual choices instead of being pushed heavily into the "of course I am going to save the world" option of each "choice".
Honestly, Mastodon is better than Twitter of course but I would still prefer them to post official stuff on a website that isn't social media at all.
Even just blowing out all the dust from a passive cooler (under the CPU fan) can make your system run a good 10°C cooler.
The thing is, unless they do a completely unskilled job (as in neither mental nor physical actions that can fail when tired are required to do it) this is literally counter-productive to their employer as well.
I feel this is missing the methodology part where they describe how they evaluated a model that literally can't do anything but read input and write output for actions like "copy itself over a newer version" or "its own goals".
As someone who has lived through some of the time with newspapers and without social media, no, quality was pretty bad back then too.
