Wolfenstein 3d can out the year before and I believe was the first. Still id Software, just slightly predates Doom

Your colony looks a lot like how I do mine. Only difference is I really don't do animals, and only do barracks in the beginning

If it makes you feel any better, admins are taking it slow and making sure sublinks is ready for federation before moving. Hence why they decided to update beehaw in the meantime

lol, well shit

Isn't Telegram a Facebook property?

Yeah, I thought it might be them, but was not sure. Also looks like some smaller volume EV makers (small EV volume, not small total volume of cars) like Nissan, Volvo, and Mercedes can now too. That still leaves out Kia/Hyundai which is the third highest volume EV maker (Tesla, Chevy, then Kia). Still, doesn't negate the fact that Tesla is not longer the only kid on the block. We will also see a shift of J3400 non Tesla branded chargers soon, since it is now and SAE standard

That is only kinda true. A couple companies can charge at Tesla stations (Ford, Rivian, and I believe one more I can't remember), but most other cars cannot. And even if you can, you'll likely need an adapter since Tesla only has J3400 (formerly NACS) chargers. Only the freshest of fresh cars (besides Teslas) have J3400 ports. Most use CCS, and those are not hard to come by anymore. Take a look at plugshare.com. Even middle of nowhere states like Kansas have predominantly CCS chargers spaced close enough for most vehicles to road trip through them. You can filter out the Tesla plug type and filter for 100kWh speeds and see.

Gone are the days Tesla had the only good infrastructure

Exactly. All they have is nostalgia to sell. That is all most of these big corpos have anymore.

Good they rolled it back. Feels a bit like go for what you want and see how folks react, then have a plan for rolling it back.

I don't think a ton of vehicles outside of Tesla have started using J3400. AFAIK those were all planned in upcoming model years, so this shouldn't have any real impact on infrastructure outside Tesla. Plus superchargers are only open to a couple non-Tesla brands currently

I think there are a couple factors reducing that. In spots where it would be effective, the superchargers are busy. Lots of eyes, and often out in a very open lot. I also don't know if they turned out to be a huge source of revenue when compared to car sales. Musk fired a lot of the Supercharger team and dropped some planned stations when NACS became a standard maintained by the SAE (now called J3400). That signals to me he lost interest and it wasn't making enough money for him care. Could be wrong on that last one, though

I'm not too concerned with that. If I don't like the best in the series, then I probably won't like any of them, but I am OK with that. A lot of folks are saying HeartGold/SoulSilver as better starting points, so I went with that. Got it emulated, so no real loss for me if I don't like it.

I played the Beastieball demo, and it is a ton of fun. The combat is tactical volleyball, and is pretty satisfying to play.

Awesome, thank you!

Oh nice. Someone else suggested X/Y. Do you think HeartGold/SoulSilver are a better starting spot or about the same? I only ask since it X/Y is a little newer, so might have QoL improvements

Excellent. Sounds like a great place to start. Thanks!

I have never played a pokemon game (except Go). I don't have nostalgia for pokemon, but I would like to play. I am down to start at any point (I can probably emulate for any platform I don't own). Where would folks recommend I start?

Only into bottles, though.

I’d be willing to bet that most trans would

Leaving out the "people" after "trans" sure does dehumanize trans folks and is not what I would call civilized. Not using she/her pronouns when it is pretty obvious that is what she uses is also telling. Tone isn't the only thing that makes civil conversation

They are going up around here (Seattle) according to AAA. I drive an EV, so don't really pay close attention. For folks that don't have that privilege it is only going to get harder since if you live in an affordable area, you almost certainly have to drive to work.
