A few years ago I was living in fear of local government turning internet into intranet north korea-style (dont ask). So - no joke - I’ve had factorio archived with latest versions of seablock, space exploration and nullius. Figured it’ll keep me going for a decade or so.
I’ll check it out, thanks!
Windows’ lightweight photo editing thing. Great for highlighting screenshots.
All image editing software on linux (that I’ve tried) is 10x more clunky.
I remember being super excited over 13, only to fall asleep playing it. 98% of combat encounters was just mashing X-button :/
Better question is what doesn’t it import.
Cars? Imported. Induatrial tools? Imported. Electronics? 100% of it is imported.
It has decent agriculture production, but all the tractors and factories for it are aging, cause maintenance got really expensive after the war because yes all that machinery was imported.
Oh and weapons. They do produce weapons.
All imported goods will be more expensive. So, like, everything.
Same. I’ve been having a blast for the last year with three other ppl from work: we go for coffees, play board games every two weeks, chat in messages.
Haven’t been so happy with my social life since, like, ever.
A lot of moving around, not knowing what city or country I will be at next week.
Was a wild ride for sure, glad I was fortunate and persistent enough to find a place I can tentatively call home again ❣️
Russian military draft.
This thinking is precisely why Jan 6 happened and will happen again if we validate that thinking by doing it ourselves.
What do you mean validate they don’t give a crap. The alt right isn’t going to become less relevant because we refuse to use their tactics against them. The choice is do things by the book, keep our precious moral high ground and most likely lose or get dirty and have a fighting chance.
You know what is a humane value? Respecting other people even when you vehemently disagree with them. Acknowledging that they are human beings and have a right to their thoughts and ideas even when you feel they are wrong. Because if you do not you are tacitly agreeing to their thinking that YOU are wrong. You are giving that perspective credence and the harder you push back the more you are allowing them to justify suppression of YOUR ideas…
What’s humane in respecting someone calling for genocide? Sure we should try to change their minds, I am not agitating for their liquidation, but for clawing out the political and cultural power back from their sweaty hands to try to turn away from the f-ing iceberg.
Metaphorical iceberg, because all the real ones will melt after trump dissolves the EPA.
What would happen if Biden was successful in stopping Trump but then, because we wouldn’t ever keep unfettered presidential power… right? RIGHT? We’re the “good” guys… what would happen if MAGA Republicans won in 2028? I doubt we’d ever have another election again.
From the standpoint of democracy that wouldn’t be ideal, but why is republicans having 2(4) years of unchecked power better? They don’t give a shit and gonna do a lot more damage to it.
Why is it ok when you agree with the outcome and not ok when you don’t?
Because the side coming to power wants to gleefully deport, repress and kill people, and the other one much less so. The good guys are “good” not because they respect the rules, but because they believe in humane values, in ending their fists when the others’ faces begins and all that good stuff. The fascists are bad not because they break the law, but because they believe and want to do fascism.
If the rules are unjust then breaking them is an ethical imperative. And Trump not being in jail is frankly a crime against lady liberty.
Breaking the rules isn’t fascism though. Fascism is fascism.
What do you think is a more ethical choice:
a) uphold the law, knowing it will let fascist come to power and kill thousands
a) break the law and stop him
Ideology is a sociopolitical model of the world. To understand complex system, we have to reduce it to key factors. It’s important to remember that it is a fallible oversimplification, but without one we are lost in the noise, blindly reacting to immediate change.
Enough of the “they go low we go high” bs, you can’t defeat fascism with civility.
True, can’t think of how would you combat a cleverly written aim-bot.
Don’t tell the client what’s going on outside its vision, I suppose? Add a small buffer to compensate for latency, so wall hack would be more of a “corner hack”.
I imagine the alternative way to combat kernel-level cheats would be asking player for all his game state data, validating it on a server?
Wouldn’t work on peer-to-peer and you’d have to do a bunch of unnecessary compute(recalculating every tick if player-generated data is possible according to game rules) but its the only way I can think of.
Kinda makes sense? If you’re monarchist, king’s mental state should be your top concern.
If you’re a fascist though you operate on vibes and therefore do not care.
You folks are living in the stone age. In the current millennium, plenty of consumer-grade pre-built planets are available.
All you have to do is occasionally spend your weekend debugging incompatibility of gravity and quantum layers.
I think people are sleeping on the power of “The Shrug”™️
Whenever someone is asking why are you not following the societal norm, just 🤷 Don’t explain yourself, let them try to rationalize to you why the norm is good actually. Then you can finish them with “Okay?” followed by another shrug.
Works every time.
