Or songs off the Taylor Swift album

Tesla is a great example of how genius is not a generalizable thing. He is the reason most of us have electricity, but he was a mess when it come to understanding people.

Tribes 3 has active servers but they aren’t well populated.

You are correct. The only other thing that Lincoln is criticized for is suspending habeas corpus during the US civil war. I don’t know what the person you’re commenting on is on about. They may be a confederate sympathizer.

I’m worried about the influx of mobile game slop.

The chat gpt thing deserves a warning. A data breach could lead to an abuser or employer getting information that they can use against you.

Or if you must use the cap, just drop the cap with the detergent in with the laundry. It will clean itself.

Thank you!

Then where is the organization? All I have found are grifters and internet warriors.

Yep, as long as Valve keeps it up to date and as long as newbie users don’t figure out what Sudo does it will be fine for them.

I like most game mechanics to some extent. Creativity in combining game mechanics is key to making an outstanding game imo.

However, I don’t like things that force a time limit. I play games as an escape. I don’t like feeling stressed by a clock while I’m off the clock. These can be literal timed missions or things like a food/water meter. Escort missions also suck for similar reasons.

I think difficulty in a game should come from overcoming a foe, traversing harsh terrain, or solving a puzzle. If the game is hard because I have to stop what I’m doing to feed myself, or I have to rush to complete an objective on a timer, it just becomes work.

It’s companies acting like people who play games are all middle school aged boys that’s the problem.

Generative ai is just an advanced chat bot, a toy that uses too much power to be efficient.

My personal experience is that any output has to be double checked and edited. It would be better to just do whatever I asked it to do from the beginning. When it can fact check itself and cite sources, then it might become useful.

An ai that can comb through vast amounts of data and give an output of specific data relevant to the question presented than a generative ai might be useful. But it can’t analyze data very well at the current moment. It hallucinates too much.

American pride won’t admit defeat, you’re right. However, most Americans are blind to brown nosing. Like Trump, if you just make them feel good emotionally, you can make them do whatever you want. (See the lifting of the tik tok ban)

Just call us good little boys and girls and tell us Jesus would want us to share, and you’ll have a communist America overnight.

That’s just how many middle managers the guy running the wood burning machine had to deal with that week.

I’m with you on this. Marvel Rivals feels off/ cheap in a way I don’t really know how to articulate.

Skyrim for the mods.

I have read the Subscriber Agreement, most of it is standard legal boilerplate. I don’t see anything about collection of data. Steam is a vehicle for capitalism, no one has claimed otherwise.

They do provide a good service. There’s no subscription fee. They maintain delisted games so you can download games you bought years ago that are no longer available. Not to mention steam OS and other projects like the steam deck that put pressure on other gaming companies to do better.

This could go up in a cloud of smoke at any point and it likely will as soon as Gabe passes on and the in fighting begins. So this is a “good king” situation and the system itself will not be sustainable long term by any means.
