If there's just one thing we're serious about, it's the Creek!

It's referring to the rate at which contested planets regenerate HP, which represents the proliferation of enemy forces. It adjusts the difficulty of campaigns, and it's for telling a story, kinda like a TTRPG GM setting the difficulty level of fights.

Isn't it just Alan Wake 2 that's exclusive to Epic? Control an Alan Wake are both on Steam.

I'm pretty sure the shared applications it's referring to there are UWP apps, which use a different set of APIs to traditional Win32 apps that are only available on full Windows versions. I looked into how Edge works a bit more, and it sounds like Microsoft made a special translation layer to take Edge's Win32 API calls and turn them into UWP ones. I guess games would be possible to run like this too?

Can Win32 programs run on the xbox? I know there's Edge, but iirc, that's packaged in some unique way.

While railguns are known for rapidly accelerating projectiles to hypersonic speeds over the short length of a gun barrel, there's no limit on how slowly they can accelerate something or how long the "rail" part of the railgun can be. Accelerating "slowly" over a long distance is totally possible!

Tried that once. The cat did not accept the compromise and still went for my hand like usual.

I never used these because of the price. What did they do? Or maybe more to the point, what were they supposed to do?

I mean yeah it's not an ideal situation for sure. I don't see any comments saying they shouldn't let the penguins reproduce though.

It's usually bad because of the emergence of genetic diseases.
