If you remember the “glory days” pre ubiquitous constant internet connections, you had to enter a big long code when installing any software. I think the principle is that the license key is some sort of decryption key that unlocks a core part of the software which would otherwise prevent it running.
I wonder how many obstacles there are to running the CD ROM that OP got? (Apart from my obvious one of not having a cd drive!)
Yeah I figured there weren’t enough keys but couldn’t tell if there was a workaround using layers or something.
How much of a learning curve is there with it? Is it actually feasible to type with?
That’s funny, I’m doing the exact same thing. Got credits on BP and then started into CO. I don’t think I’ll go for the full puzzle experience with BP, I’ve had my fill.
I watched a bit of Michael Alm’s video on this, but noped out when I saw all of the little boxes of consumables appearing. If regular printer ink is already exorbitant, I can only imagine what these proprietary cartridges will cost.
This is a common theme across all medications on occasion. Maintaining a global supply chain is tricky. I’ve never seen a shortage of sertraline before, but it wouldn’t surprise me. They’re usually short-term, but you may want to talk to your doctor about an alternative to bridge the gap.
I feel like making that comment earlier broke my run of bad luck and I “completed” the game. (There’s obviously a tonne of additional puzzles to work out, but I think I might take a break from this for now!)
What have you been playing?
Blue Prince! I’ve been trucking away with this for a while because it’s very possible to play using the controller while holding a baby - no quick reflexes required! I’ve hit a bit of a wall with progress in it though and have reached a point where it feels more like luck than skill/puzzle-solving is needed to tackle my current objective.
The auto-complete in VSCode is one of the few AI use cases that I actually find useful. Passing a whole bunch of args in a python class function call to set instance variables just becomes that little bit less tedious. Lots of little things like that add up to nice time savings.
The “ask copilot” features are absolutely terrible though.
Thanks for the link! Now I’ll never miss one of these very well put together posts!
How do you access an RSS feed of a user’s posts? I’d love to do this.
No. See the recent example of Meta blocking Careless People from being publicised and the book’s subsequent position on the bestseller list for reference.
Right up there with you! This sounds great.
Unlike the others here, I would argue that this is supposed to be this way - it’s a mind bending puzzle after all.
Stranger still to make the headline about one small paragraph in the middle of the piece that was clearly an aside.
The sequels expand on the premise in pretty interesting ways too.
You should read Semiosis, a sci-fi book about a planet with a lot of bamboo.
C’mon Matrim - EXPLODE!
Ireland isn’t bad from a basic survival perspective - massive food surplus and plenty of water - but if we wanted to maintain current living standards, I think we would fall down on power as it stands currently. Plenty of natural wind and tidal power resources that are underutilised.
