I honestly can’t play civ anymore because the ai is completely braindead, so either you play in normal mode where there’s no challenge, or you play in hard mode where the rampart cheating makes the game unimersive and grindy
I guarantee that with the amount of time you hear about this woman, positively of negatively, she will attempt to become the new Trump when he kicks the bucket (or otherwise taken out of commission) and all the fascists will happily line up behind her because she’s just as fascist and well known.
I really want to use AI like llama, ChatGTP, midjourney etc. for something productive. But over the last year the only thing I found use for it was to propose places to go as a family on our Hokaido Japan journey. There were great proposals for places to go....
Ah same here.The series triggered me to get the GOTY on the cheap and dive into it. Have been hooked non-stop for the past days.
As is tradition, Bethesda games are not even worth playing without mods. FO4 inv management is just pull-nails-out attrocious and mandatory to play the game at non-braindead difficulties. So better inventory management is a must for me.
And if you want to do anything with the settlements that doesn’t waste infinite amount of time, Sim Settlements 2 just dropped and it’s great!
Myself I’ve been mostly doing sidequests until now and only started going into the main quest now, still quite impressed how well the difficulty scaling holds up.
I’ve set up half a dozen settlements and spend way too much time equipping the settlers there. Hoping this will be more useful later. Haven’t had to use flares yet though, need to get into the habit of doing it instead of relying on chem and stims to get through combat.
I modded the game from the first time. Since it’s my first time playing it, I used Sim Settlements 2 out of the box, but I did try my hand at Settlement management without it (since its features don’t unlock immediately, there’s some sidequests) and it was agonizing as you describe. However with Sim Settlements 2, not only is it a breeze, but the settlements look way more interesting as well without inordinate amounts of time. I enjoy finding things to equip my settlers to fight off attacks etc.
You can follow the quests of SS2 to unlock more stuff, but I think some of them unlock on their own? Don’t have quite enough experience with it. But it provides enough out of the box that you would do the basics and then have pretty well maintained settlements anyway.
Not sure what you mean by " install all the chapters". IIRC it’s just one file.

I do not remember that being at all a reason. I remember them mentioning their heavy-handed and arbitrary moderation practices on ST content however. Such as banning people criticizing voyager etc.
TBH, we regularly see teenagers in places come up with breakthrough ideas currently. It’s not weird at all. Estabilished engineers and academia have momentum. They are set in their ways and tend to see things as they always were. We even have famous examples of this where the Theory of Evolution was ridiculed for many years before being grudginly accepted. Einstein rejected quantum theory etc.
As someone deeply involved in Foss for many years and with multiple large Foss services running on my back, these constant requests for purity from outsiders will go nowhere until volunteers people step up to do the hard work of setting up and maintaining the infrastructure and management of such Foss solutions in the place of the core developers
My perspective is of a FOSS developer with multiple communities of thousands. If you can’t grasp it, that’s on you. It’s also why purity moralizing isn’t useful. I have only so much mental bandwidth to spend on organizing and self-hosting. If people are not stepping up to do the community management and infrastructure work, I will go with the past of least resistance.
Doesn’t refute any claims made in the article or arguments presented here.
Nothing to refute. I never said otherwise. Discord is just more convenient for people already overworked.
Just a shame another company has a stranglehold on a whole category of services that have to be used to participate in society … while developing FOSS.
Yes, it is a shame. I hope you’re doing something practical about it instead of moralizing towards FOSS devs.
