Starcraft 2 is almost 14 years old.

Could it be a hidden/removed feature where the Pelican can take damage, but leaves instead of being blown up? That also explain why someone mentioned that dropping on top of it also triggers this bug.

The CEO from the article is also making an RTS. He is not claiming they are unprofitable. He is saying they are not mainstream enough to sell tens of millions of copies.

According to steamDB AoE IV has between 1.27 and 2.5 million owners. That is a good number, but not mainstream. At the very least not mainstream in the definition used in the article.

Adjust the times at which you eat, and make sure those times are consistent. Sleeping habits will follow way more easily if you adjust eating times along with them.

It was an aprils fools joke from the company. I found the authors website, where he showcases it as part of his portfolio: https://mauricevanberkel.nl/portfolio-tag/easytoys/ And it is documented here also: https://www.adformatie.nl/merkstrategie/1-aprilgrappen-van-merken-professioneler-dan-ooit

I also used to save up every potion and usuable that I came across. I wanted to feel in control by being prepared for everything. That sounds like a fine quality to have, but it stems from a fear of not being able to handle whatever is thrown at you. It is a symptom of a lack of self confidence.

Nowadays the things that I'm most proud of in life, are things I only achieved because I jumped head first into the unknown, yet still came out on top of whatever challenge I had taken on.

Just about anywhere, you will find all the basics within biking range. Almost every neighbourhood has at least one supermarket. And every town will have a barbershop, pharmacy (both an over the counter (drogist) and a separate prescription one), GP (huisarts), etc.

Biking infrastructure is good almost everywhere. Both in the big cities and in the smaller towns. I wouldn't use that as a factor.

Also note there is a housing crisis going on right now. You might read such stories about Cananda, but the Netherlands has it just as bad. Especially in the triangle between Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Utrecht, it is bad.

I recommend looking at funda.nl at different places. See what is available in your price range. That also makes it much easier to find out about the towns around the big cities.

Discord also does group calls, with or without video. In a server, a 'channel' can be a voice channel instead of a text channel, or you can start calls directly with people.

A similar success story:

My dad is in the early stages of dementia. This has been quite draining on my mom. As a result, she had been pushing him to go to a kind of day care for dementia patients. She tried over and over to convince him by telling him he would like it there, with absolutely zero success. My dad is way to stubborn to admit such a thing.

Eventually she told me about this, and I advised a change of strategies: tell him how he can help you. Focus on your needs, not his happyness. Because, although he is stubborn, he is also the kindest and most willing-to-help person I know.

She ended up telling him telling him, how she needed some time for herself, where she didn't need to worry about him.

I now have some pictures of him, where he is smiling his ass of while on an excursion with the group of the daycare. Mom was absolutely right about him liking it, but it was useless as an argument to convince him.

It is only logical that an algorithm trained on the ways of a Vulcan, is precise and accurate in it operation and communication. Vastly more fascinating are the result when you ask it to behave like a human.

The problem with C++ is not the lack of safety features. It's the ever lasting backwards compatibility that is keeping it both alive and down at the same time.

Having to support 50 year old code, is going to limit any restriction you place. But it is usually the restrictions that make a language good.

Example: You can write perfectly good modern C++ code without any pointers. But pointers are so ingrained into the language, that it is impossible to remove them.
