Gentlemen, welcome to Dubai.

International students at US universities are 1% genius level students with full ride scholarships and maybe even grants. 5% student athletes with full rides, and likely NIL packages now. 94% children of rich parents that can afford the full tuition price and an apartment + allowance for their children.

Kung fu movies aren't real life. This is closer, and the sword loses a lot. You might dodge some thrusts, but out won't be able to close and get an attack off most times. https://youtu.be/igaQww59NY0

Spears were really effective, wooden poles are actually quite strong and sturdy. They are also cheap, which is probably more important. Individual spears could break all the time, but you could put a metal blade on a new stick quickly, or just have sharp sticks.

I'm not sure what you mean by target the wooden part. The common use of spears would be in a formation, you couldn't just chop one without being open to several more spears. Even then chopping one is actually quite difficult, it takes multiple hits against fully braced wood to actually cut through it. It also means you are standing where you can actually get hurt by the spear, but you can't hit the person with the spear, this tends to be a bad strategy.

Cher has a top 40 hit in 7 decades, people thinking there were different ones is understandable.

I'm only buying dlc for games I already have.

The monorepo is more about dependency management. It's a bigger hurdle at sufficient size to ensure everything is the right version then have a slightly unorthodox repo.

Yes, but they aren't as young of an audience maybe idk. One bad thing in common isn't too bad.

The turbine is about equally difficult to make as the reactor, it doesn't make sense to waste one on a reactor that can't max it out. Small modular reactors work great for boats though, where size is a bigger factor, and the Navy is actually pretty good at making them.

99% of mold gives humans something between mild discomfort and death. The remaining 1% tastes good with butter.

Steam is a platform that happens to also have a storefront. Other companies are building storefronts and hoping that's enough.

If you can't provide fast downloads, cloud saves synced across devices, achievements, mod support, friends lists, and multiplayer support, it's not a real option. Being cheaper or having some exclusives aren't attractive. Gog already has the drm free angle to be a legitimate competitor.

Actually pretty common as most people would subconsciously hit the same areas each time.
