This is First Contact erasure and I won't stand for it.

He's described as a "contemporary Bosch" and it's clear. Just a tiny bit more sexual though =P.

The Bell Riots could still be pivotal even if nuclear war is on the horizon. The people running the government would be different, or, more abstractly, the progressive mindset affects how America recovers afterwards. Perhaps without the Bell Riots, we diverge into the Mirror timeline, for example.

Earning a pittance doesn't mean they're not slaves. They're slaves because they can't quit. Prisoners have basically zero agency in their lives.

I didn't mind the pie chart, the slices are labeled clearly, no need to use coloring like you have to read a legend.

For Factorio, I think it's a smaller window... before you have basic items (belts, power lines, solar etc.) automated. Bots are huge, but once you can extend your base/bus at will the game gets way less tedious.

I'm the opposite. Game nights have a protocol on top of socializing so I feel caged up in a mandatory activity. I'm an extreme introvert and I'd rather just sit and listen to everyone else chit chat than to learn a new game, talk about rules, and be forced to interact.

I dunno, maybe it's different with friends instead of acquaintances. Or if you already know the games.

I'm a little sad this ended up in the ACM. There's plenty of shit computing can be tried and convicted of as a discipline... This ain't it.

I test drove a Leaf and honestly it felt bad brand new. I got range anxiety just taking it on the highway and back to the dealer.

So far, I think Tesla has a monopoly on practical EVs. Say what you will about the cars (or their leadership) but the charger network they built out and having ~150 miles of actual range is hard to beat in an existing product.

Yeah, you're totally right. I've leaned into the "rather chill than sweat" gaming camp in the last few years. It's nice to play games that are friendly and non-violent. SDV and Talos Principle 2 have been my gotos recently.

Nah, my friends don't actually care, this is tongue in cheek for all the times I'm playing SDV and they're all masochistically playing From Soft games. That's why I said "imaginary" judgement.

Everybody up in here talking about porn games... I just want to be able to hide Stardew Valley so I can avoid the imaginary judgment of my friends playing much harder or competitive games.
