I still haven't played 2!

I'd also recommend The Talos Principle and The Turing Test for similar itch scratches.

The Man in the High Castle has a pretty good take on this.

It was our grain that they were taking. The potatoes were attacked by fungus.

Ireland isn't bad from a basic survival perspective - massive food surplus and plenty of water - but if we wanted to maintain current living standards, I think we would fall down on power as it stands currently. Plenty of natural wind and tidal power resources that are underutilised.

If you remember the "glory days" pre ubiquitous constant internet connections, you had to enter a big long code when installing any software. I think the principle is that the license key is some sort of decryption key that unlocks a core part of the software which would otherwise prevent it running.

I wonder how many obstacles there are to running the CD ROM that OP got? (Apart from my obvious one of not having a cd drive!)

Yeah I figured there weren't enough keys but couldn't tell if there was a workaround using layers or something.

How much of a learning curve is there with it? Is it actually feasible to type with?

That's funny, I'm doing the exact same thing. Got credits on BP and then started into CO. I don't think I'll go for the full puzzle experience with BP, I've had my fill.

I watched a bit of Michael Alm's video on this, but noped out when I saw all of the little boxes of consumables appearing. If regular printer ink is already exorbitant, I can only imagine what these proprietary cartridges will cost.

This is a common theme across all medications on occasion. Maintaining a global supply chain is tricky. I've never seen a shortage of sertraline before, but it wouldn't surprise me. They're usually short-term, but you may want to talk to your doctor about an alternative to bridge the gap.

I feel like making that comment earlier broke my run of bad luck and I "completed" the game. (There's obviously a tonne of additional puzzles to work out, but I think I might take a break from this for now!)

What have you been playing?

Blue Prince! I've been trucking away with this for a while because it's very possible to play using the controller while holding a baby - no quick reflexes required! I've hit a bit of a wall with progress in it though and have reached a point where it feels more like luck than skill/puzzle-solving is needed to tackle my current objective.

So many hours sunk into this game...

The auto-complete in VSCode is one of the few AI use cases that I actually find useful. Passing a whole bunch of args in a python class function call to set instance variables just becomes that little bit less tedious. Lots of little things like that add up to nice time savings.

The "ask copilot" features are absolutely terrible though.

"Here are your tablets and here is a box to piss into for the next week while you're on antibiotics."

I'm not disagreeing with your point as such, but implementing an entirely separate sewage system is probably impossible and the alternative is kinda gross.

As I said in another comment, the real solution is to reduce unnecessary antibiotic usage.

All medications should be disposed of separately to other waste. I'm not sure how it's handled worldwide, but my country allows disposal in community pharmacies.

Many antibiotics (e.g. pretty much all penicillins) don't get broken down significantly on passing through the body, so a major source of contamination is coming from human waste and inducing bacterial resistance in the bacteria in the wastewater system.

The real solution here is to reduce unnecessary antibiotic usage.

Thanks for the link! Now I'll never miss one of these very well put together posts!

How do you access an RSS feed of a user's posts? I'd love to do this.
