I hate that this is probably true. Good thing they released it for free

Well, Sid Meier did originally design Civ, Todd Howard was “just” a director / producer.

Can it still be called “Sid Meier’s” Civilization when he doesn’t even know what the game ships with?

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been playing since CIV2 and it’s been pretty good, but that just strikes me as weird.

°C, which is not bad. Official press release (I think): https://global.nissannews.com/en/releases/nissan-trialing-cool-paint-technology

I don’t think there’s a big problem by using upvotes, downvotes and comments as systems that can show the popularity or controversy of a post.

Imo the bigger problem is in the comments using the same voting system. For starters, everyone the system in a different way. Most notably example is downvoting to disagree.

Secondly, because we are evolutionary wired to try and fit in, you either consciously or subconsciously try to create a comment that will give you the best chances at seeing the numbers go up and receive validation from your peers.

Personally I think the system is fine to keep running under the hood to keep the sorting algorithms available and maybe for moderation purposes, but it would be great if we wouldn’t be able to see them at all as to not be influenced by the connections we make between votes and post content.

(…) the boss didn’t know – or care

Oh they knew. Don’t be naive

Nintendo said they will announce something this fiscal year, that’s it. No word about launch.

The rest are just rumours and just a bunch of dudebro’s who replaced 2023 with 2024, and now have to scribble in 2025 pretending they never said they were 99% sure it was releasing earlier.

It’s a simpler game for sure. There were only 4 civilizations (Norse, Egyptian, Greek, Atlantian) and they were all very different from one another compared to AoE. Each civilization had multiple deities to choose from for some more specific buffs and abilities. Every type had unique mythical units as well, and these units are quite large so maps felt a bit smaller in comparison. Overall the maps were smaller than AoE anyway, but not in a bad way.

Then instead of stone there was favor, a resource like the rest (food, wood, gold), acquired by putting townies at your temple to pray. All in all it was pretty similar to AoE but it felt a lot less serious. I played a lot at LAN parties and we always had a blast though!

I’m curious, can you elaborate why you need this connector?

To answer your questions, those two USB A connectors are for power and data transfer, separately. But if you got a 3.5" drive, you’re going to need that external 12V power supply anyway.

You can plug the data USB connector into the same PC to manage the files, but you can also put it in a different PC, so to transfer files between two devices quickly.

You can also use a power bank for the USB A power connector, but this will again only work with the 2.5" drives.

When they sue you for libel, they will have to prove that you knew you were lying and still went ahead with it, in order to damage or disparage the other party.

This goes the same for Trump: can you prove he knows he’s lying?

Edit: in other, better words:

The legal definition of lying is that someone spread false information with knowledge that the information was false.

In general, a journalist cannot establish whether a person did or did not have prior knowledge, so we don’t use the term. It keeps us from getting sued.

Because lying means the liar knows they are lying. Stating a falsehood means you don’t have to have the intent of lying.

This comes down to libel. Journalists would like not to get sued because they think someone is lying instead of just claiming things they believe in, misguided as it is.

Stop expecting handouts with 0 effort especially when the answer is one tap away.

It’s a setting, someone posted a similar thread https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/24295861

Preorders will be refunded and preorder items are made available on the new launch date.

While I acknowledge this, it’s good to be cautious, still. It seems like they have learned their lesson from CS2. Hopefully they keep it up and earn some trust back.

multiplayer game that has no more players

‘i got bored of it and so did almost everyone else.’

Sounds like the same thing to me, unless you mean the servers would be down for the multiplayer game and nobody can play it anymore.

With this gift link I still had to login or pay. Maybe it doesn’t work for my region?

I’ve seen the archive links on posts of yours though, so I appreciate that a lot.

I see you added two paragraphs so let me respond to those separately.

You’re making a lot of assumptions about my environment. I’m using an Android app, and I see no archive link options anywhere. Nor do I even browse my “home” instance, it was just an arbitrary choice to make an account there.

12ft.io doesn’t even work on most websites for me. I’ve tried, but it would always break the page or just give me an error.

Lastly, only OP can put an archive link in the body. So even if I archived something and shared the link, it’s still less accessible than OP including a link in the body.
