Misleading title, when the guy in question only seemed to be tracking about 170 low - mid level indie games.

It doesn't look like he was doing it to check solely indie games, though. He started with every game released that month, applied a few fairly reasonable cutoffs imo, and then just analyzed everything that was left. If it looks like it's mostly "low-mid level indie games" then that's because steam itself is mostly low-mid level indie games

Around 900 games were released on Steam between July 5 August 6, 2019
Any game that did not achieve 10+ user reviews was removed (around 700
titles removed, i.e. around 78% of released titles will make less than $5,000 in
their first year)
AAA titles removed (not particularly useful knowing how Wolfenstein sold)
Then, the top and bottom 5% (ranked by revenue made) were removed, to
reduce noise from outliers
The data left contains roughly 170 games

you can also hit them in 1 size corridors even as they're walking directly toward you if you turn 90 degrees and slash with very good timin. they basically need to touch you just as your sword comes out and they will take damage allowing you to pass through them unharmed

not because I think the act itself would be particularly weird or I'm worried about it from that angle but more because I am perfectly content to just eat at home and in general I'd prefer not having to go outside.

http://shorturl.at/dP247

this is a mirror of trsrockin, a very old site that (as far as I'm aware) was mostly known for documentation and experimentation with pokemon glitches. The original site is down but I think it's all still there at that link. If you're interested in the early days of people messing around with things like missingno. that's probably where to look

that said:
It is not known who the original discoverer of MissingNo was. I first read about this glitch in an issue of Nintendo Power magazine under a section describing how to fight Safari Zone Pokemon.


I can't believe I had to link shortener this because it thought the url was censor bypassing and wouldn't let me post it. This site is a joke lol

edit: man, it sure is fun looking back into this level of ignorance around things that I know consider common knowledge

Once I discovered the secret to MissingNo's attacks, I decided that a little strategy was in order. If MissingNo was the "evil Ditto", why not counter its transformation with my own Ditto? So I built up my Ditto's level and decided to take on the big, bad glitch. I made sure that whenever I battled another Pokemon, Ditto was always the last one I used.


But there's much more to learn about these "mistake" Pokemon. For example, why are these Pokemon in the game at all? Obviously MissingNo looks like a REAL Pokemon. Was it originally a character that got cut from the game? Is this some sick programmer's idea of a joke? Did the developers think that 150 (151) Pokemon were enough? Why didn't it show up in Gold and Silver as one of the 100 NEW Pokemon? CAN you catch MissingNo?

This is presented in an unecessarily scary way imo, a lot of the reason they couldn't track it is because it was very small which also means that it has very little potential for harm. I'd say a lot more worrying is the near miss with a different much larger asteroid mentioned later in the article:

However, the European Space Agency (ESA) confirmed that scientists had only noticed it was travelling near Earth just days before it whizzed past at a distance of 40,000 miles (65,000 kilometres) one fifth of the distance to the Moon.

The ESA stated: The 100 m-wide asteroid dubbed 2019 OK was detected just days before it passed Earth, although archival records from sky surveys show it had previously been observed but wasnt recognised as a near-Earth asteroid.


.....

that said, I'm not sure what precautions could be taken in advance of a more destructive asteroid impact anyway so maybe seeing them coming isn't that important?

they're probably my favourite series targetted toward that sort of age group, though I'm not sure how much of that is just nostalgia. I read through them again a few years ago and I guess as long as you're not too bothered by the sort of prodigy protagonist thing they've got going on they're probably at least enjoyable? The setting is super cool imo and the themeing around light and light magic and just how integrated it is into both societies of the world is interesting.

That said, they're still books targetted toward, well, pre-teens. So your mileage may vary. At least they're short and light reading so it won't take too long to read one or two and decide if you want to continue them

it's both

it's a valid engish sentence that does mean something. It's also a commonly memed translation for a certain stock phrase in japanese ( ). The phrase can mean a lot of things depending on context but in the early era of anime/manga translations it tended to just get blanket converted to "it can't be helped". It still does sometimes but probably not as much, and honestly the meme status of it has sort of poisoned it as a valid translation option so I think most actual good translators would try to avoid it at all costs

I mean, I don't know about you, but getting DECAPITATED is usually a bad thing. People uh, tend to not survive that. They were on borrowed time anyways.

normally I'd agree with you completely except that
1) she's a robot and a somewhat common trait of robot characters in fiction is being able to be reassembled
2) the most common use of divinge power in the series so far as been regenerating from extreme amounts of damage and there's someone with that power right there

narratively it just seems so weird if none of the 3 of them are brought up again, they have a clear story arc going somewhere from even very early on in the season. they've got their wish, and now as of the previous episode they've also got their desire for revenge against fudo. the show actually put time and effort into developing them as characters and it would be super weird if it just never did anything with that, regardless of whether you think they deserve some sort of redemption or not
