Tangentially: I just watched an episode of Akiba’s Trip that neatly parodizes YuGiOh, complete with a spectator that does not visualize the duel discs or holograms and finds it all really boring (and several of the card effects just stupidly overpowered).
“Wait, so he played that card face up, didn’t he?”
“Yeah, so?”
“So anyone can read it. Why was our guy surprised when his opponent activated the second effect? Obviously he’s going to use it, it benefits him.”
Not necessarily, plenty of good programs written in C89 for example.
With something that is heavily library dependent, having a more recent development stack may mean better maintained libraries but definitely not a sure thing.
Windshield solar visors will be making a comeback (if they ever even fell out of fashion) with climate change heating things up. I drive a black car with a black leather interior and the thing makes a huge difference when it’s sunny and 80+° F outside
It is believed that people can have visions or hallucinations that will match whatever they believe in when they are dying. For some it is Jesus, for others it is nothing or memories. It is interesting to think about that when dying or being close to it, your brain will just make up whatever makes it feels the most reassured. The real question is why?
Maybe our perception of this as positive is cultural? Ancient people might have survived near death experiences, and it shaped our society to the point that we believe being reassured while dying is good. We aren’t angered or frightened by our brains lying to us in this particular situation.
Well it is not necessarily always a positive experience. There have been instances where it scared them so bad that they changed they way they lived. Like they believe they had been sent to hell.
