I do think they have a point: there’s not many other engines I can think of that are quite as ‘tangible’ as theirs. Every object has its physical place in the world and can be picked up, manipulated,… in a way that’s unlike other engines where the world just feels more static.

I dab too, there are dozens of us!

That honestly seems pretty low for friend.com

Although the fact they’re developing hardware on less than a million dollar budget is bananas, let alone the other whack ideas

He’d probably do something similar on day 1 while at the same time starting to recuperate the action politically, and after a few days just go into full conspiracy or similar mode

Yeah, in fact I think that’s a majority of those cases. Vocal minority of reactionaries and/or fans disappointed that their expectations weren’t met despite the product on its own being good

Not for a couple of decades he hasn’t, see Spaceballs the series or crazy history of the world part 2

I remember seeing a hypothesis that ADHD would have been beneficial in Hunter-gathering, as you would more quickly move from plant to plant rather than fully depleting a resource. It was just one study where they had a sort of game/simulation to test it though, so very early days on that theory.

A nuclear power plant doesn’t pollute either of those more than any other large building, and sure uranium mining is still mining, but renewables and battery storage also depend on raw mined materials.

Peer-reviewed NYT op-Eds (/s)

Unpopular opinion because it’s so recent, but I think Starfield is/will be in this category

Well, Xbox and PC exclusive.

And to add a platitude: “Any idiot can build a bridge that stands, but it takes an engineer to build a bridge that barely stands.”

Wouldn’t it be Divinity 7?

But to build on your analogy: we don’t make regulations based on a religious doctrine anymore in most countries. If your religion says no one is allowed to wear mixed fabrics or eat pork, that’s fine if you’re not doing that, but we’re not banning those things for all of society.

There’s about as much proof for an existential AGI threat as there is for a deity, so let’s not make policies based on either, and focus instead on real potential and already proven harms of AI

The issue here isn’t the tax, but the unpredictability. That’s no way to tax a sector, and it shows in the market reaction.

I have to disagree here. Disclaimer: I work for a bank but not super into the core financial stuff. Firstly, banks are already super heavily regulated; anti money laundering, terrorism financing, know your customer, etc. The reason crypto takes minutes for international transfers and banks can take days isn’t because of technology, it’s all of those checks on fraud happening. All the money leaving a bank account is, barring very advanced fraud, with the user’s consent, but in fraud cases this is often done via social engineering (calling someone to get their codes from their bank card reader, or pretending to be a family member in need).

Do you think I need to play the first 2 before this one?

Yeah, this feels like coming home. I tried the other options, but none felt as smooth or as customisable as this.

Which games are you considering to mod? 3, 4, New Vegas, older?
