  • i always see this “you can control it” thing but nobody talks about how your ability to control the rng is dependent on the rng to unlock. it took 15 hours for me to see a single thing that allowed me to change probabilities, and by that point i had already rolled credits. i didn’t get basement access until day 40. the rng really fucked with me, until i gave up. at that point i had 6 start money, and no extra start steps. i didn’t know that was in the game. it wasn’t that i missed stuff either, i solved every puzzle i got clues for, if the rng allowed it.


  • huh? every data center i’ve been to has hundreds of megawatts of stand-by power generation which is regularly used to take up slack, because data center loads are peaky as hell. when facebook was building their first european datacenter in 2012 they were heavily criticised for their planned local power infrastructure, which was and still is diesel generators. the one being built in my area, which is a colo, has planned for over 700MW of local generation despite being built next to multiple hydro dams.
