  • This would be a good thing, though I think it’s trickier than it appears:

    • How arbitrary are “best before” and “expires on” labels and how do they differ from food to food?
    • How do the labels themselves differ from each other and how to do they differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction?
    • Could acknowledging that “expired” food is still good cause expiry dates to just be extended? How far could they be extended before food actually is dangerous past the label?
    • How does liability work when someone gets sick from “expired” food? Does it change when it’s part of a structured donation system?

    This is good for Linux users. Valve has been fantastic for supporting games on Linux since the Steam Deck and Blizz has never had proper Linux support. Now Linux users can ditch Lutris, Bottles, or WINE if they want to just simplify and use Steam, which does have a native Linux build.

    From my understanding, the game is about killing each other lol

    Yea, this will always be the problem when trying to create a story around this format of gameplay. You definitely have to ignore the fact that lore enemies can team up because the comp needs it.

    The optimistic tone comes across in the character writing, world design, and music. Little in the game is dour or depressing. Instead the focus is on the details that make the locations or characters unique and interesting. There’s a lot of language and cultural representation.

    Also, barring the secondary deathmatch game made, OW is technically about doing non-kill objectives, it just so happens that killing your opponents is the best way to complete the objectives.

    It’s funny because on the scoreboard, traditional “Kills” are labelled “Eliminations”, but they still keep tradition for multikills i.e. the announcer will say double kill and not something double elim





  • IMO the title is incorrect because the common interpretation of getting “burned out” is that of the same individuals of a population losing effectiveness after working hard. The article even likens the term “exhausted” the same interpretation of the phrase:

    Altogether, our research suggests that T cells in tumors are not necessarily working hard and getting exhausted. Rather, they are blocked right from the start.

    This same quote describes the truth of the phenomenon where it’s not individuals getting “exhausted”, but cellular signalling permanently altering the expression of T cells to make them less and less effective.

    A more correct title would be something like:

    Cancer makes every generation of T cells worse than the last
