A good tool improves the way you work. A great tool improves the way you think.

Do these accept cash, or only ATM cards? (The latter would link your transaction to your bank account, of course.)

What do they give? A printout of a wallet address?

Also, units of fun earned while watching other people play.

One nice thing about an arcade is that you can see regular people (not streamers/professionals/actors) interacting with a game, and notice subtleties that aren't represented in a bullet list or trailer video.

SomaFM uses shoutcast/icecast streams, so just about any half-decent media streaming device or software can play it.

What makes you think that? It's possible that they did it in-house, of course, but there's no precedent for it. No previous Civ had a linux version done in-house.

I don't think so. There's no mention of it on their site.

Do you know who made the port?

Thanks for the perspective. :)

Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo Anti-tamper

Requires 3rd-Party Account: 2K Account for Online Interactions

Somebody please wake me up when these atrocities are gone. (And thanks, Steam, for making them easy to discover.)

Are you including Brave New World in that comparison? I've never played Civ 5 without it.

I think the quote was, "I’m an egotistical bastard, and I name all my projects after myself. First Linux, now git."

What do you mean by "flat"? A circle is by definition two dimensional.

I just referred them to 5 because it was almost as good

Why do you consider Civ 6 better than 5?

Edit for anyone else wanting to answer: Please specify whether you're including Brave New World (or Gods and Kings) in your comparison, since those expansions significantly improved upon the original Civ 5 release.

Why not post the original article? Here it is:

Someone with undetermined/unknowable gender would use the pronouns they/them, never he/him.

We're not discussing what someone would use for themselves. We are discussing what someone would use when writing about a hypothetical person.

If you believe that he or him would never be used in this case, then I suggest you do some research on the history of language.

Edit to clarify: And by history, I include recent history, meaning usage by people alive today, who learned it in school not terribly long ago.

Either a male person or a hypothetical person whose gender is unknowable.

None of what you claim was done in the document being discussed.

It isn’t a fucking “convention” to push women down

No, but choosing either the male or female pronoun when writing about a hypothetical person has been the convention for a long time, and using the male one has been the usual default for far longer than any of us has been alive. It's not to push women down; it's a grammar compromise, and is not exclusive English.

You are misunderstanding the language as it was used, and you have jumped to a false conclusion that seems to make you so angry that you think it's okay to publicly vilify someone... for your own mistake.

I hope things get better for you.

Good day.

Certain forms of singular they are old, but the drive to make it the general convention when referring to a hypothetical person is new.

"Personal politics" is a vague phrase that generally just means someone's views and priorities. There is nothing pejorative about it, nor in the way he used it.

In other words, Andreas insists the OS developer be referred to as “he/him” instead of not assuming gender.

The build instructions in question follow English language conventions that have existed for hundreds of years (and are shared by more than few other languages). All he did was decline someone's proposed change that would have applied a very new convention regarding pronouns for a hypothetical person. This is not the same as insisting that anyone refer to anyone else in a particular way.

It's also not unreasonable. We can ask people to adopt new conventions, but we don't get to expect or demand it.

Change to a language takes time.

It’s textbook misogyny.

No, it is not.
