  • I wouldn’t really call Against the Storm an RTS. It’s worker placement game and a short-session city builder. You place down buildings, and assign your people to do specific things. You get modifiers, new buildings, and events as the run goes on. You have to produce specific resources to earn points to win the run. Events work where you have to assign people+resources to it before the generous timer runs out, or you get debuffs. You can plan and do things while time is paused.

    Very fun and strategic, but more in a puzzley sense, not an RTS way. DotAge is another game - very similar, but turn based.














  • This isn’t super relevant, but I just installed Windows on one of my drives so I could play Tarkov (lol), and oh my god the AMD Adrenalin software. I’m sure there’s some okay features with it, but for some reason it was not saving my fan tuning. So like, during intensive graphics, my PC was just overheating like crazy, and would just randomly shut off multiple times and not turn on for a few minutes. Every time I rebooted, I would have to launch Adrenalin and load my fan tuning configuration. It’s absolutely atrocious that this happens on a default Windows install… like if it happened on Linux I’d accept that I maybe configured something wrong. But installing Windows and AMD drivers should not put my computer at risk of burning my GPU. It’s ridiculous.

    Anyway if anyone else has this issue, you can fix it by turning off fast boot in Windows power settings. Stupid af




  • It was the same on Reddit. Antiwork culture or something (I’m not in the loop), which is reasonable to an extent, but people still struggle to acknowledge that it is possible to have careers and jobs that are extremely fulfilling to them, even if it’s under a company. I work in healthcare IT and I enjoy it a lot. And I’ll even say I enjoy the corpo culture-improving events that IT management holds. I like the people around me. I’d rather work feel like home than feel like slaving away in an emerald mine 8 hours a day.

    Edit: I wanna say that at my last job, it was very much trying to get us to feel connected to the company and the profits. That really doesn’t get through to me, I couldn’t care less about the company lol. If anything at a job, I’ll be connected to coworkers and people around me that I spend 8 hours a day with. The best company culture imo isn’t to get the employees to simp over the company, but to make it enjoyable for employees to be around each other.
