“The economy will suffer if intelligent, technologically advanced alien life is confirmed” is the most stereotypically capitalist take. I love it.

Turning rust into lead gets you lead to turn into gold… That’s some 5head thinking there.

It’s only really an issue for AAA titles. There’s millions of indie games out there that will run just fine on 10 year old hardware. If this kills the AAA game industry, I think it’s doing us all a favor.

I don’t really know anything about NED or what they do, but if every House democrat voted not to cut their funding, I’m much more inclined to trust that they know more about the subject than I do and there’s some reason for those votes, over believing the opinions of presented on some random person’s Substack page.

Achievements (for me, at least) are just a reason to spend more time with a game that I enjoy. In most cases, I have trouble enjoying a game if I don’t have goals to work towards (either game-imposed or self-imposed). If I finish the main part of the game, and am not tired of it yet, achievements give me goals that I can follow if I want to keep playing.

Definitely agree that there’s too many games that have achievements that are just in no way worth the time and aren’t even fun as an auxiliary goal, though. The best ones are the ones that get you to do things you otherwise wouldn’t (e.g. playing a non-standard playthrough of the game). The lazy ones (‘Kill X enemies, Earn Y dollars’) are just busywork or earned ‘automatically’ while doing other things and add nothing.

Or Risktego - it’s a game of Risk, where each battle is determined by an individual game of Stratego.

Is it that billionaires are more likely to hold office, or that people who hold office are more likely to be filthy rich? Likely both, but an interesting but missing statistic would be what the average net worth of people who enter public office is vs. what their net worth is when they leave.

Well, I’d agree with you that the least colored one is the best for drinking. That doesn’t make it good for drinking, but better than the other options, which are markedly worse.

This is purely speculative and not based on real-world experience.

Well, that makes much more sense.

The conservative influencer organized the group that was in support of ICE, that got chased off / beaten up by the anti-ICE demonstrators.

Edit: Nevermind, I misunderstood what you were saying.

That makes it… not a horrific situation? What?

Hey, since nobody’s answered you yet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-hole

Stopping it is, in fact, very easy. Simply unplug the servers, that’s all it takes.

It starts very slow, so be forewarned, but if you’re looking for a long-haul incremental game, I’ll recommend Evolve. I’d estimate roughly 2 years to “finish” it. Legitimately a very good incremental game.

Honestly, if they made it a requirement that it has to be 100% clean energy, this could actually be a net positive, but of course they won’t because it’s Trump’s admin and he’s got a boner for coal and oil.

Dependent on your hard drive’s capacity (and free space), you could make a separate partition and install Linux to that, while leaving your existing partition and files untouched. Then you’ll be able to access them from the newly installed Linux partition, can move over what ever you need, then remove the Windows partition once you’re done.

But all of these things are already happening. Why are you still a Windows user if these are your lines in the sand? (Did you mis-read the assignment?)

Chicken tikka masala, but I feel like I’m cheating, because we just went shopping earlier today and picked up everything we needed to make an alarmingly large batch.
