If you somehow played the remedy games and didnt also notice that Alan Wake wrote the Max Payne games which exist too idk what to say.

Go back and replay you somehow missed everything.

From the fan wiki description of the motel:

"The Oceanview Motel & Casino is a Place of Power connecting between various different locations. The Federal Bureau of Control theorizes it to be a gateway to alternate dimensions and Thresholds. "

Here’s a reddit thread from 2 years ago with the same conclusions. https://www.reddit.com/r/controlgame/comments/q8gtz5/what_really_is_the_oceanview_motel/

The Dark Place is considered a different reality and established as such in Control by having it’s own Door in the Ocean view motel.

It’s the swirl.

The Signal dlc is Alan going crazy in the dark place trying to write his way out.

Remedy considers Quantum Break and Max Payne explicitly Canon

Time jumping and Hatch are a form of multiple realities.

Control also explicitly is about multiple worlds and realities including the Astral Plane.

The whole shtick is writing becoming real creating multiple realities and you do realize Control with its Alan Wake dlc and Quantum Break exist along with American Nightmare and the DLCs for AW1.

That’s only info from the first game which you didn’t really play.

What do you think The Dark Place was?

What did you think they meant by Ocean?

I don’t know of anything that documents it as well as reading the literal mailing list responses at each time it became relevant.

But the actual development story isn’t that interesting other than when some extremely unprofessional behavior from a lot of parties occurred.

Like actual piss baby anti social nerd shit.

It’s a bit old, but Bcachefs did get merged into 6.7

They get used all over especially in differential equations.

Log10 basically only comes up in statistics for doing a log plot in base 10.

Basically high school math won’t use the natural log much, but once you hit university higher level math it becomes apparent it’s the one everyone actually uses regularly.

The day after I moved to Germany I went to the hospital emergency room with what was later diagnosed as a kidney stone and stomach infection.

I was given over the counter painkillers and some cramp medication and told to drink lots of beer to treat the stomach infection by the doctor.

I am serious. I asked about the complications drinking on the pain meds and he just said it was OK.

mixing those meds with alcohol fucks your liver

I can’t get an electrician and contractor to come install one (as an AC mainly) inside of 6 months, and I’ve been trying to find one for 6 months.

The heat is actually killing me I can’t sleep and have other health problems. I brought a dual hose unit from the US with me I’m running on a voltage converter and it’s the only thing keeping my apartment livable.

It’s functionally a way to communicate happiness with the service.

The restaurants I am a regular at know if I don’t leave a fat tip I wasn’t happy with how they performed. Waiting 20+ minutes just to pay is unacceptable to give a recent example. They were understaffed and some old dude In the attached hotel insisted on print out copies of his reservation details that he then argued about. I could have paid, cash or card, and been out in under a minute while this dude was reading his papers but instead I just sat there for almost half an hour after finishing my meal.

Should they still get paid unlike in the American system? Yes. But I’m fine with tipping as a general concept. In Germany we call it Trinkgeld and it’s usually 10%, and not exactly a thing you are expected to do every time you eat out, but I usually do 20%+ if I was satisfied.
