I'm going to go with a no on the assumption this is a 'you can only compare pointers in the same array' kind of deal.

That just sounds like overriding the comma operator (for fun and profit).

No, roguelikes require a randomised element per run.
SF64's paths are based on choices and actions you take, but you're not presented with new challenges each time you play.

I agree, but it'd also be interesting to see what would happen if they were outcome based - with funding tied to how well their ex-cons reintegrated into society.
Potentially incentivising beneficial programs.
What should absolutely be illegal though is for-profit prison labor.

If someone bets a lot of money that somewhere will be on fire on Sunday, then they are strongly financially incentivised to make it happen.
Allowing bets like this isn't just perverse, but actively dangerous.

Marvel has heaps to work with right across the colour wheel.
All different heroes and villains and artifacts and powers to pick from.
Dr Who is harder. Still like 60 years of history or something to pick from, but much more of it is one-off characters.

I say whelmed, but sort of as a joke with a certain friend group.
And while I've never heard someone say 'scathed', 'scathing' isn't too rare.
But 'reck' is certainly a very lonely word.

The main thing is picking which folders are synced.
By default it includes your desktop and your documents folder, both of which people use as a dumping ground for temporary files.
I personally have mine set up to only sync a folder I made explicitly for that purpose. I even called it 'Synced docs'

Just make sure you configure or uninstall OneDrive immediately.
There's a few other tweaks you might want to make, but that's one thing that they make difficult to untangle later.
Besides that things are mostly unchanged.

I loved that game. I thought it had some of the best interpersonal writing I've seen in a game, making it always a delight to hang out with the gang.
I get why it's not a game for everyone, but for anyone that doesn't mind card battling I'd recommend trying it out.

I did once in 2010 for LoL when my main first got a skin, but that was to support a game I was enjoying (I'd also bought all the character packs they were selling when the beta ended).
Outside of that I've never intentionally spent money on in-game cosmetics.
I mostly play single-player though.

WTAF. At least they currently look harmless, hopefully they move on rather than escalate in anyway.
Stay safe!

One of my biggest issues is that I don't even like the minimalist style they're going for, and think it reduces usability.
Give me clearly deliniated sections and I'll have an easier time using your application.
I've always preferred Windows because it opted for function over form. I don't want OSX.

Same except except I want to sell my 93 Camry to someone who better knows how to maintain it and buy something modern.
Unfortunately the best EVs on the market are Tesla's which I don't expect to last for 30+ years.

In addition to what the others have said:
- cats like to imitate you, and if you play with laptop keys they want to too
- a nice rectangle always looks good to sit on. Even just a piece of paper beats boring old desk.
But it's probably mostly just warm and smells a bit like you

I didn't realise it had been 10 years since heroes 7. Looking forward to the new release.

Not just British comedians and transphobia either.
It's something I noticed quite a while back, that (formerly) great comedians were blaming people for being 'too sensitive these days' whenever their old jokes aged out.
Instead of writing new material that work in a modern context they blame others.
