Not frilly; a well-stocked museum that mostly lets its specimens speak for themselves. Sauriermuseum (Aathal) specimen of Plateosaurus: sculpt/cast. A very good, big skeleton of this common dinosaur, rearing up. Rear view of same. Real bones of same; vertebrae and pelvic (this is the “...
If you’re confused when you read about “[some software term] as code” or “everything as code,” all you really need to know is that we’re talking about automation: The thing we use to do tedious tasks for us, or orchestrate tasks when they become to
the Switch is a slam dunk. It takes the basic concept of the Wii U, of a tablet-based console, and fulfills the promise of it in a way Nintendo simply wasn’t capable of realizing in 2012. It’s launching with a piece of software that, more than anything in the Wii U’s first...

In fact, your FPS is inherently going to be capped at whatever your monitor’s refresh rate is. Even if your graphics card can pump out 144 FPS regularly, a 60 Hz monitor can only handle 60 FPS. The result is either you get just 60 frames, or you will experience something called “...
My newest hobby is doing puzzles. I just took on a 2500 piece and it is a beast and so hard, but I wanted to challenge myself as the 500 piece and 1000 piece ones are too easy. For those that love puzzles, Galison has the best ones! Just my opinion! Great topic @Samie Kaufm...
