Was it a little cube? A Taiwanese exchange student once gave me a few “fish-tidbits”. Holy shit those things were the fishiest things I’ve ever tasted. Just concentrated chum bucket, instant bad breath. I’m sure that cats would love them, but I’m still not convinced that she wasn’t pulling my leg giving me a cat treat or what was essentially a bouillon cube and calling it “candy”.

I’m upvoting you not because I agree (I don’t, I love black licorice), but because you touch on a good point that if someone doesn’t like black licorice, they’re probably not going to like any black licorice regardless of quality. Maybe there’s some exceptions out there that like bougie black licorice and not the basic twizzlers stuff, but anecdotally I’ve tried introducing the fancier brands to a few friends who don’t like black licorice, and not one has given a single fuck.

I thought that they were managing that stuff on a per-pixel basis, no engine, assets, or other abstractions, just raw-dogging pixel colors.

And before I even played video games at all I was watching somebody play some assassin’s creed game I think and I thought the player had to control every single limb qwop-style.

Knocking on heavens door - guns and roses

Fuck I’m so dumb lmao

I imagine the difference in the cost of living between NYC and upstate New York compensates for that? Median income alone isn’t a super useful metric

Brain fart, disregard

Smh it’s like these people have never slapped a chicken before

Username checks out

Til that I’m hardcore

Cologne by incubus would make a pretty wild b-movie

Ooh that would be super interesting

Alrighty then… picture this if you will

That’s me, I don’t really care where the maple syrup came from as long as it’s real

Phrasing

Keep practicing, you’ll get it

Holy shit I forgot about Poptropica!

Nice work. I could totally go for pizza and wings about now

Many cars and trucks don’t even have a tach. Older Ford focus’s don’t, they just have a shift light. I used to drive a 70s Ford ranger that had neither. Don’t get me wrong I wish it did, but it’s only a nice-to-have for regular driving. Shifting off sound is fine, but it’s not just sound, it’s the vibrations in your seat, how the engine reacts to gas pedal inputs, etc. I only look at the tach when I need to downshift to pass.

I’ve never driven a car that couldn’t do this, and I’ve driven at least a dozen manual transmission cars and trucks, all gas. Hell my beater right now doesn’t have first gear, and I have no problems starting in second just idling. You just need to be really slow and attentive to your rpms. Not that you should always start rolling like this, but I agree with the comment above that it’s an excellent learning exercise. I always start with this one when I teach other people how to drive stick with great success, and I wish that I started with this exercise when I was learning.
