I mean it did (brakes) in Australia, that was cool

A bummer, as I was really liking forward to binging it when it came out, but much better delayed than rushed.

I trust 11bit to deliver a super solid game, even if it takes longer

It's finally in the NYT games app! At least on Android

This is all I found on their site about it, which aligns but isn't as much detail as I hoped

With standard and heavy duty foil, it’s perfectly fine to place your food on either side so you can decide if you prefer to have the shiny or dull side facing out.

Okay, my buddy is gonna take foil tomorrow and run it over the profilometer (?) tomorrow and see. I'll report back with more numbers and less hand waving when I have it

It was a fair few years ago, but yeah, the oxidation on it will be so much smoother than the delta in surface roughness that I doubt it'd make much difference. Lemme reach out to a metallurgist from there and see what he thinks!

Correct. Just a manufacturing decision. It looks a lot more different than it actually is.

uses common expression

"Whatever that means!"

Yup, the lab could tell a difference! Shiney side (so mill roller facing, as opposed to the dull side which faces the other layer of aluminum) was marginally more reflective, but I believe (and a former coworker also remembered it as) it was less than a tenth of a percent (<0.1% for the visual folks)

Anyone who says it affects cooking time or something is mistaken, I'd wager.

Former process engineer in an aluminum factory. Aluminum foil is only shiny on one side and duller on the other for process reasons, not for any "turn this part towards baking, etc" reasons.

It's just easier to double it on itself and machine it to double thickness than it is to hit single thickness precision, especially given how much more tensile strength it gives it.

Also, our QA lab did all kinds of tests on it to settle arguments. The amount of heat reflected/absorbed between the two sides is trivially small. But if you like one side better you should wrap it that way, for sure!

The sequel to the GBA game on DS was met with mixed reviews, but I enjoyed it enough. I'd give it a whirl sometime!

Just played it. It's indeed short but fun. I enjoyed it enough to wishlist it

Show me the grim dark future of the 41st millennium on the timeline!

I really enjoyed this one. It's always fun having ING, and W is surprisingly useful

That was a fun hot ones. Struggled, but sent it anyway. Nothing to promote or sell. Some fun anecdotes. I liked it! Hope more F1 drivers get to go on the show.

I just wanna say that as someone who designs user interfaces for a living, I always do whatever I can to play with UI/UX in my normal life.

At a gas station, playing ads, I always start tapping and holding the little buttons near the screen. Almost always holding 2 across from each other goes into a mode where it shuts up, and continues pumping. Plus it's like a fun little arms race of a game for me.

Okay, I like physical games and don't like the whole gamestop meme thing, so I went to Best Buy a few times for games. They didn't have Pikmin 4 when it came out, and no one there heard of it. I went to Target next door and they had some promo stuff they gave out and the person working the games section was dressed up like Oatchi.

Guess I'll go to Target for physical releases, not BB.

That is an amazingly bad worst format, I absolutely love it.

I like the idea of running a full tire rainbow (at least the 3, maybe C2-C5 instead) in a race. Lots of pits, lots of out and in laps. You can decide how hard you want to push cold and new tires, with some steady laps between

Russell missed out by a millisecond, wild. Great qualifying session, dang
