It's like chewing gum. You just keep going as it gets blander with no end in sight.

But instead of playing the map as a menu screen, you actually play in the world and discover things.

That was the crucial difference for me.

I got a cheap mini pc. It had W11 on it which I promptly broke (I think it was when it insisted on me putting in a PIN but I closed the window). It also ran at 100% for no reason trying to do updates, but then refused to do any updates.

So I put the latest Ubuntu Linux on it. Seems OK, but I can't get anything to recognise the video codex stuff in the N150 CPU. It seems to know it's there, but Firefox and MPV won't use it...

Yes, I'm sure a nation with huge oil and gas reserves wants nuclear just to have very expensive energy.

They want nuclear weapons to prevent regime change due to external interference. Russia can't protect them. There's no NATO style protection for Russian allies. I think we're only seeing this now because of how weak Russia is on the global stage.

Oh, did you not pay for YouTube Extra Premium Plus for the enhanced bit rate?

Bloody peasant...

Because they know they'll lose it as things currently stand.

That's why they've been trying to build nukes.

Nah, that's what every 40-somthing addict looks like in the UK. Fucked.

I really liked the puzzle elements, but the combat was way too hard in places. I didn't feel bad about turning that down.

How many of those were backed by much more powerful foreign powers?

All really cold countries have solved homelessness...

Do you know how many ads are on Jellyfin?

I watched just the one episode of Wednesday and came to the conclusion that whoever wrote it had never seen The Addams Family at any point.

It was painful to watch.

Especially them.

I can think of no better way to train an AI to hate humanity enough to invent Skynet and kill us all, than to introduce them to MS Teams meetings with managers who all want things that are completely incompatible with what they asked for the last time, and require you to throw away about 40% of what you already wrote.

The neat thing about most jobs is you don't have to be good at them to get paid.

To be a king you need a kingdom.

America is a country.

There's a lovely homage to it in Astrobot.

I just hope Israel's policy of not caring about collateral damage doesn't backfire here. They may hate their leaders, but seeing family and friends killed will solidify them against Israel.

Sure.

Energy to play? Well that's a tough one...

They were ok, but could never get my arse really clean.
