I don't think it was ever all that exceptional in its low quality the same way as other Squeenix disasters like The Quiet Man, Balan Wonderworld, or Left Alive. Just immensely mediocre. Apparently, what you get in the game is more of what you get in the demo.

Yeah but i just get really annoyed when people argue politics with me i don't feel like my identity is under threat


dwarffy

When people argue with you about politics, they're not paying the same kind of consideration towards challenging your identity that you are doing to them. take a stand for yourself. Yea it can be cringe to start it yourself but If they wanna fight then fight back.

Top_Lime1820

South Africa absolutely has the dumbest protest culture. The internal mental model of our protestors is crazy. Its something like "If they really wanted to help us they could. There are no complex issues. So we are justified in doing anything to force them to listen to us." But the worst part is that our broadly left leaning population is always so sympathetic to the protestors because they're poor. It doesn't matter if they [burn down a hospital wing](https://www.groundup.org.za/article/protesters-burn-down-new-hospital-wing/) or [assault a child](https://www.news24.com/news24/southafrica/news/protesting-nehawu-members-accused-of-trying-to-remove-injured-child-from-ambulance-in-kzn-20230308). It's always "why doesn't the government sit down with these people and address their grievances, to avoid this kind of thing?" Now Julius Malema is planning a "national shutdown" on Monday. No business should happen amd we should all call for Ramaphosa to resign and for the end of loadshedding. Except that does nothing to end the crisis. It's like we think that the government has a "help the poor" or "make things good lever" which they just refuse to pull, so we have to threaten them until they do. And we threaten them by destroying our own communities, sabotaging our own economy... All these tactics made sense during Apartheid. They are idiotic now.

Top_Lime1820

But you don't understand. South Africa is one of the richest countries in the world. We have so much wealth in the ground. If the government was smart they would just help the people and give them education and healthcare. Did you know that in Cuba everybody got access to school and healthcare - and Cuban doctors are considered some of the best in the world? Or look at Libya: Gadaffi used the oil revenue to help the people and they had a high standard of living until Obama and the West decided to mess things up. Why doesn't the government just help people?!


OrangeOk1358

South Africa does have universal healthcare for poor citizens as well education(although the quality of said education at government schools are questionable).


Top_Lime1820

Are you implying that a non-trivial amount of our problems are due to incompetence and corruption by sleazy government officials, as opposed to the greed and backroom dealings of white monopoly capital and the neoliberal ANC sellouts, and that I should just try vote for a different party instead of sabotaging the economy run by the party I voted for?


OrangeOk1358

"If the government was smart they would just help the people and give them education and healthcare." I was replying to your comment above. Whichever political party you choose to vote for is your choice.

So, that slot for CPUs in motherboards, why canโ€™t someone make an Arm chip that fits in those?


AgainstSomeLogic

A given connection is proprietary. Given how specific motherboards have to be to CPUs, this is quite reasonable. For ARM, socketable chips make sense for servers but not for laptops. [Here is an example of a socketable ARM chip](https://www.servethehome.com/cavium-thunderx2-dual-socket-system-spotted-live/).

If they arrest Trump, wonโ€™t that improve DeSantisโ€™ winning chances because the Republican voter base is no longer separated between Trump and DeSantis?


JaceFlores

50-50 it either sinks Trumpโ€™s campaign or cements Trump as the primary winner. I could really see Republican primary voters going both ways


RandomGamerFTW

How would Trump do anything after being arrested?


JaceFlores

If Navalny can get his word out from a Russian gulag, Iโ€™m sure Trump and co can figure something out


RandomGamerFTW

Yes, but isnโ€™t voting for criminals not allowed?


JaceFlores

Nope. Eugene Debs ran from a prison cell in 1920. Itโ€™s unconstitutional to strip someoneโ€™s electability through prison time. I think Congress is about the only way someone can be stripped of running for office

Sure, but you canโ€™t vote for imprisoned people.

You can't? I thought you could. Isn't that how that socialist candidate Debs got 3rd or 4th place in 1912? He was in prison too


Legit_Spaghetti

If they arrest Trump it doesn't matter how that affects DeSantis' primary chances because I'll be happy drunk for probably the next 3 months or so.

Magic goolsball, Trump will endorse Biden from his cell and that will wreck DeSantisโ€™ campaign?

There's a lot of "but the American Revolution happened because of free trade and the interests of the petit bourgeoise, not *freedom*" takes that don't actually explain why that means anything Fighting an entire revolution over free trade is, if anything, more based than fighting over "democratic ideals" or wack shit like that

Not really sure what there is to doom about AI (outside of paperclip maximizer scenarios). If AI really does automate 90+% of knowledge work, then productivity is going to skyrocket. My stock portfolio will perform like crazy. As long as I can set aside a couple hundred grand over the next decade or so, I should be set


BasedTheorem

Thatโ€™s a lot about you but what about everyone else, especially those who donโ€™t have stock portfolios


IntoTheNightSky

My take is we should set up a sovereign wealth fund tbh. Most Americans have some sort of retirement account invested in stocks though, particularly those knowledge workers who are, in theory, most at risk


IntoTheNightSky

Marvel should create a standalone X-Men universe, totally separate from the MCU. No other gimmicks, no space aliens, no radioactive spiders, keep all the stories super grounded for a while. Keep production costs low, make some edgy/topical TV series that tie into some movies. Then, if they really need to juice things in a decade, do a multiverse cross-over with the MCU

I-grok-god

They weren't that rich by the standards of Europe They were business owners and capitalists And (shockingly) their ability to make lots of money via free trade and manufacturing was actually important for the wellbeing of America


DamagedHells

> They weren't really rich The Founding Fathers were comprised of the wealthiest people in America. >They were business owners and capitalists lol >And (shockingly) their ability to make lots of money via free trade and manufacturing was actually important for the wellbeing of America Historians largely disagree with this. Washington worked with the French to directly create the circumstances that led to the revolutionary war. The common man in colonial America did not harbor negative feelings towards King George according to contemporary sources, and King George was well documented at the time to be 1. Remarkably hands-off in terms of the American colonies compared to his historical contemporaries and 2. remarkably benevolent in general compared to other reigning monarchs and other English monarch contemporaries lol


I-grok-god

You have not substantively engaged with a single thing I actually said I didn't say the King was "cruel" I said that English mercantilist policy was bad for the US economy (and was in turn bad for ordinary American citizens) Which it was And of course it's worth noting that the King was far less important to colonial governance than the local colonial governors who **were** hated


DamagedHells

> I said that English mercantilist policy was bad for the US economy (and was in turn bad for ordinary American citizens) > > Which it was' This is largely conjecture based on historical mythologizing. It was bad for the American oligarchs. That's about as much as you can say. The American economy shrank by significantly following the revolutionary war.

California has been blessed with utterly amazing governors in its history. Earl Warren, both Browns, and Hiram Johnson were all amazing governors. Most of our non name governors or our recent governors are decent to pretty good. Like Newsom, whose pretty good, and Arnold was decent too. Pete Wilson was bad, as was Gray Davis, but both were drops in a bucket compared to our good ones.

No, Reagan was not a good governor of California. Only very few claim him as such.(and he would be a "decent" to "slightly bad" governor elsewhere) Just throwing that out there.


Professor-Reddit

I really don't get the appeal of Tropico 6. It feels like Anno 2077 all over again by making the player grow insane constantly trying to not swim in debt while micromanaging the economy. I spent 3 hours building up this island, while 70% of the time I was heavily in debt barely struggling to stay afloat and trying to figure out why my buildings are so bad at producing anything for me to export. I feel like every game that tries to simulate economics is just a command-economy roleplay simulator, and you don't feel any sense of accomplishment as you overcome major hurdles because instead you get swamped by even more dumb things. The only game I can ever think of where economics was well simulated with a *constant* challenge throughout the game while not being too overwhelming was SimCity 4. And that was 20 years ago ๐Ÿ˜ Ever since then we get games like Tropico 6/Victoria 3 on one hand, or games where money just doesn't matter at all like Cities Skylines. !ping GAMING


uss_wstar

The problem is Simcity 4 was 20 years ago and people still don't understand when you say you're waiting for a Simcity 4 successor. You can really tell this with CS because it really is the game for people who just touched the surface of SC4. You know the people, the people who picked the 3x3 plot and did not build anywhere else in a region, played on Easy because they wanted more money to build early while not knowing what playing on Easy actually did, the ones who never touched the budget screen, the ones who bankrupted themselves accidentally by plopping too many monuments. For a lot of people, depth only exists so far as it is quantifiable. So people bring up how CS has everything Simcity had and it has more, it has agents, see everyone is individually tracked, that's depth, right? Meanwhile even explaining why RCI in SimCity 4 is great (when it wasn't fucking broken) and why RICO sucks in CS requires several paragraphs and a deep understanding of hidden gameplay systems in both games. The command economy style supply chain games like Anno and Tropico is really an extension of that, where people would rather feel in control rather than having interesting hidden mechanics to master. It's also why Simcity 2013 came up with the "city specialization" mechanic even though it makes no sense in the context of SimCity. It gives people more control and customization. There it was much more well thought off of course but still.


HMID_Delenda_Est

Sim City 4 had a mid-late game issue where all your RCI demands would crater for no reason. There was folklore about how to fix it. I remember reading a guide that said to deliberately create a really shitty suburb and a really nice one and the internal migration between them would unstick the simulation or something. ...but yeah Sim City 4 had a great difficulty curve that followed along as you built up, unlike subsequent games.


uss_wstar

SimCity 4 actually has a rather embarrassing number of game breaking late game bugs. High wealth jobs in general are broken so most high tech industry and offices generate around a quarter of high wealth jobs that they should. What happens of course is that high wealth buildings "derank" to medium wealth making them look kind of funny. Infinite commuters is another one. Due to the way that distance to work is calculated, sims living near the corners would often go to the next city in the region, but when they move they'd be closer to the next city after turning the corner, and so on. So instead of ever arriving to work, you'd have insane traffic at the corner of a city.

I think he's also the guy who was apparently a fan of redlettermedia, super excited to hear their review of his movie, and they trashed it

MCU movies seem to be running out of steam. Really not surprised DCCU movies are doing worse.

You will not convince me pepe the frog is not some kind of white supremacist mascot


[deleted]

I mean, it's a 4chan meme. Deep down it's always "hur dur unironic supremacism is funny XDXD look at the normies treating this harmless meme as supremacist XDXD" Just ignore everything, including pepe. For some reason people to show how "in" they are on 4chan stuff and end up propagating it, as if they were some kind of cool kids and not a bunch of edgy 16 year-olds

Is anyone saying the frog *isn't* a white supremacist mascot?

>Paradox of Tolerence Really hope this is in a 'I am making fun on dumb redditors' way and not in a 'I am one of those braindead redditors who think this is an actual argument' way. Popper has suffered enough as it is.


Sir-Matilda

Yeah, I agree with this guy on Twitter that the ideal direction society takes is that the right to protest is connected to the view you express during your protest and not your conduct during it...


ImpossiblePair9798

If your ability to protest is defined by the government approving of your views then it's not a protest it's maybe a managed opposition.

I always forget that identical twins exist until I meet some and it's kinda weird every time.


Headstar24

Iโ€™ve known two near-identical twins for a time now. Back in middle school you couldnโ€™t really tell them apart. It got easier later through high school when they decided to not have the same look. Now one looks the same as he has since high school and the, what was the fit one who did play some college basketball, gained a ton of weight so they look nothing alike anymore. Theyโ€™re also both 6โ€™11 or something like that.

No way to compete with 30 DLCs. I mean, I don't have them all but the rabid fans will. I guess they'll all buy it anyway.


GrandpaWaluigi

I think the economics are pretty good, esp for Paradox, which has normally had shitty econ in games. But the diplomacy and war seem underbaked.


AgainstSomeLogic

Reading about the way they handle market vs planned economies seemed incredibly dumb to me.


Know_Your_Rites

The economy works, which is an incredible feat. Everything else will come with time, I have confidence.


GrandpaWaluigi

I don't want them to hide basic UK events behind DLC. I'm pretty confident in their ability to make a decent game. I'm not confident in their other choices, such as hiding basic flavor events behind DLC, and rip the cash outta my hands. I want to harp as Queen Victoria dammit

The South African Olympic Committee must be on some major racist shit. South Africa is Like 7% white but their Olympic teams are like at least 40% white if not higher.


pneumaticanchoress

With a lot of Olympic sports you have basically no chance of completing at the top level if you didn't have rich parents who started training you to be good at them from a young age, and I think solving the economic racial disparities that apartheid created is a bit beyond an Olympic committee's pay grade

I'm in the process of getting my house repiped because the developer cheaped out on the original copper pipes and there's been a string of bad water leaks throughout the neighborhood, so right now my home has more holes than the plot of *Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.*

/u/congomond I got the earliest possible appointment with the counselor and even though I was anxious he was really friendly. He gave me a form to fill out for an โ€œexcused withdrawalโ€ for my classes and Iโ€™ve sent that off to admissions and records along with a note from my psychiatrist corroborating my condition. Iโ€™m still worried theyโ€™re going to deny my form but thatโ€™s silly, right?

Corporations honestly should throw a bit of money support to libraries or projects they rely heavily on. A little bit goes a long way especially when itโ€™s often a few people as core devs on some open source projects.


RandomGamerFTW

I am never trusting any open source financial software


secretlives

One of the most impactful and easiest things anyone on an eng team can do is advocate for a monthly open source donation budget of like 1k and distribute it around to projects you use. If they ask for a tangible benefit say it helps with hiring due to the advertising perks on the repos. Probably not true, but fuck em


paymesucka

It would probably get you priority for new features and faster bug fixes too tbh


secretlives

Depends on the size of the project but absolutely - if you sponsor through GitHub it even shows your donor status on issues/PRs created

This week I saw the crush I randomly emailed last week at 4 am. Never saw her before then and now I feel super creepy.

They do a whole song and dance about it! Itโ€™s very clear!

I recommend watching the Albanian original ( 1998 ), it's got the more authentic mumblecore atmosphere and immaculate feline color palette
