No. These are different things. One’s an illusion. One’s real.

You’re right. It’s just cheap junk, boring and drab.

so I skimmed

Okay.

It looks like a twist because it does a twist.

No, it’s an illusion at scale. You almost say so yourself in your next sentence.

There’s no angle where you realize the windows don’t actually change planes.

Discreet flat planes constitute an illusion of a curve at scale. There are no curved components. They used offsets and angles in the outer layer. All the windows are flat planes. You can see the rectangles yourself just as you can see the triangles in a geodesic structure’s approximation of a complex curve.

A modern true curve is still often made from wood. If there’s money it’s laminated I-beam. But, curving or twisting structural steel is breaking all sorts of cardinal rules. Assuming safety is valued, cost rises exponentially from construction through build out and into maintenance and repair. An exception is large ships. That’s why they’re so expensive.

It’s very obvious you’re now trying to make a point

An artist and an engineer were given a modest budget and found a way to ask an obvious question to which the is answer is: It depends upon the perspective each of us chooses.

If you look closely you can see the flat planes and angles. There are no curves. You can see the truth of it yourself. It’s right there.

They’re obviously some intelligent people to be designing such things at all. Imagine how many times they’ve been talking about some subject or another and said, “Hey, friend, if you look more closely you can see (whatever truth) for yourself.”

Then the other person says, “It twists.”

Amazing piece of art, huh?

I’m “on about” the quality of communication that defines humans from the other animals, which has been in a nosedive for a quarter century, which is now so heavily corrupted it’s leading us to our doom.

What are you on about? Minimization and what else?

So, it’s an illusion made out of entirely untwisted components. Imagine that.

It’s truthful. I cared enough to tell them.

Neither is publicly traded. Neither of us know the numbers.

Does Steam make money on hosting indie games?

How does one research such a question?

I don’t need answers. I had them before I made my second post above.

Good luck to you.

Hijacking a phone connection like that is fucking HARD

Man in the middle at the demark, flower pot, or ped. It’s “clipboard and safety vest” easy until underground or past the mux.

That’s my roots. Maybe that’s why it appeals to me.

Wow. I’ve never before seen a comment history so devoid of content and with so little care for presentation that it was reasonable to no longer want to see their posts.

Clear, concise, and with respect. That seems exceptional for a modern parent.

Yeah, it’s funny. But, OP, please tell him he’s awesome for me.

It’s a cut into the exterior that creates an illusion, leaving the core intact. If it was anything different then it’d not be standing.

I know enough about aerodynamics to speak generally about typical designs. But, this isn’t a typical design. Insight needs an aero engineer with some experience.

I think the architecture is really cool because it looks like a twist at first glance, but isn’t.

Karlatornet (lit. ‘The Karla Tower’, initially called Polstjärnan) is a skyscraper under construction by Serneke in Lindholmen in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Competition in capitalism is always better than a lack thereof. But, we’ve not busted monopolies in a significant way since Ma Bell. And, even if we were, at 75% of the global market share they’d not warrant any action yet.

There’s going to be a dominant organization because late stage capitalism sucks. And, I’d rather it be Valve than some alternative trying to fuck me over at every opportunity.

I want to note that you’d need about $143 in gross sales to meet the threshold of $100 in net profit.

On the surface that sounds like a lot. But, they’re providing a service without any guarantee of any income. Epic can only compete because they’ve few users and are willing to operate at a near loss in attempt to garner market share.

This will be a difficult one for others to understand as a “good deal”. Gamers are usually correct when they pull out their pitchforks. This should not be one of those times.

Does Steam take a cut for distribution?

If not, while this emotionally sucks, they’ve a solid operational policy.

I don’t like what you’ve said so you’re a troll. We don’t serve your kind around here.

SMRT.
