I liked the first one alright but I remember it being a bit easy, and putting it down for rim world, a much more challenging game in the same vein. Guess I'll wait and see on this one.

I was typing up a reply and realized this said most of what I was saying. The only thing I'd add is that support matters, popularity matters. Supported or popular HW platforms are less likely to have small random niggles than an off the shelf dell laptop. System 76 or tuxedo lines are ideal supported platforms. Think pads area super popular.

PopOS or Mint are as easy to use as ubuntu, but without being chained to snaps, which everyone is moving towards flatpaks except canonical

yea it'd almost be like, if the kkk was the government

amazing to me that open source games usually sputter out quickly, yet communities will dissemble, reassemble and polish and finish games from established IPs

I think it's more of a gaben hate thing, since the epic store can't really make a dent to steams marketshare, even when they straight up give away games.

I'm old enough to remember when discovery showed space stuff like, all the time. It was great!

It really changed in the 90s when congress pulled public funding for educational TV

So, I'm not sure if skyrim is right for this because it's had a certain modding community built up, and for whatever reason, corporate execs seem to love burning down organic communities with no idea of the damage they're doing.

However, if a game was built from day 1 to have support for paid mods, I'd probably consider making assets for mods as a side gig, as would a lot of people who work in tech or are budding game developers, because its far less of a commitment than making a full game.

The closest things that do this currently are roblox, which does everything in it's power to prevent you from withdrawing money from it, and second life, which is near dead and only still going because of furies and perverts.

If a true platform-esque game, like Skyrim or Arma, were to come along with a shop that would let you do things like build a dungeon and charge a dollar for it, that would suddenly look attractive to a lot of people to get involved.

They did but no longer do. The owners may still personally, but if you were to dig into the owners of every company you'd probably come to the conclusion that there is no ethical consumption under capitolism.

I think a lot of the comments here mischaracterize chik fil a as another shitty burger joint in a way that would be confusing to people that never seen one. They make really good chicken sandwiches because chicken sandwiches is almost the only thing they make. While most fast food joints might have 1-3 people running it during non-peak hours, chic fil a constantly has a small army in there. I don't even know how so many people stay busy but that crazy looking line pictured will be cleared out in under 10 minutes.

Why isn't it? We all USED to crap in our diapers, but times change.

Pretty much everyone you know who was alive in the 90s said or did some horrible shit to or about lgbt people

I have a little bit of schadenfreude at the PS fan club moaning about exclusives, since their whole system is built around exclusives.

But in the end the point stands, exclusives (from anyone) are bad for consumers.

dear god, burn her at the stake

I dunno maybe the point I'm making is I am seeing this everywhere right now and it feels like small potatoes

I mean, it's per personal life, who the fuck cares? She's a shitty representative for all kinds of reasons just based on what she does in congress. This all feels very "gotcha"-ish, as if in some congressional office some democratic staffer was just giddy about releasing this to the public. Maybe I'm burnt out on it all but I have no appetite for this kind of politics anymore.

Zuck is relatively a beginner and only recently got his BJJ blue belt - the first colored belt you get in BJJ. That being said, it still take a year or two to get a blue belt, and at that rank he'd be expected to submit a larger untrained person, which is exactly what musk is.

1st is planned murder

2nd is a non planned heat of the moment kind of murder

3rd is you do some criminally wreckless crap and accidentally kill someone

manslaughter is any other kind of accidentally killing someone

I don't blame him, my wife, my mom and my gran are all there and like to see pictures

Do you feel like engaging it? Good... good...

I'm glad we have strong GDP growth but:

how does the average man paying 1500 for a basic apartment in a po'dunk town feel this

Nothing wrong with that! I've been using linux for nearly a decade, and after your distro hopping phase, most people settle into something like ubuntu
