Honestly, our moon.
I firmly believe that our moon gives us the solar system in short order.
Fuel in the form of Helium-3 (if we can figure that out). Plenty of building material. Much lower gravity well that will allow larger payloads into it’s orbit and larger ships to be constructed. As well as that lower gravity well meaning better fuel efficiency in launching just about any trajectory to anywhere else in the solar system.
Once we have the Moon, we’re 90% of the way to a solar system spanning species. Mars is cool, but not useful in any real sense other than bragging rights.
The new Russian ones are supposed to dodge interceptors at their final stage and fly crazy fast.
The war in Ukraine has proven that what they say they can do and what they can actually do, militarily speaking, is vastly different. I’d be surprised at this point if a russian ICBM isn’t just a homing pidgeon with a grenade strapped to it.
Wherever they go, Tim Horton’s Beiber-bites eventually follow. So yeah…in this case I’d agree with that assessment.
I hadn’t noticed. but I have no real comparison since I was on Linux long before starting either title, so I’ve never played either on Windows.
They seem to run well enough, so even if its faster on windows and that’s the tradeoff for having no Windows in my house, I’m cool with it.
I’d say yes; with the mods available 2 is still WELL worth it. i n fact I’m doing yet another play through at this moment.
1 is also excellent, especially with the Long War overhaul installed.
Most of mine have already been mentioned; KSP, Rimworld, Stellaris.
So I’ll add one of my all time favourite games and say XCom and XCOM 2. I’ve sunk hundreds of hours into xcom 2 with various mods.
Close second is Crusader Kings 2, and close third after that is Empire Total War.
And of course CIV. It’s not a proper list without CIV.
Nothing is unknowable. It’s just unknowable for now.
Actually. As someone who worked in a small radio station news department for a pretty long time, I’m actually not accusing them of malfeasance as much as I’m accusing them of “over-eagerness” if that makes sense.
There’s just too much information floating around thanks to every Tom, Dick and Harry having a blog, or a tik tok, or a twitter account, all claiming to be “insiders” in one way or another. Far too much for the media to be able to properly vet every single piece of information that they get thoroughly. And it leads to mistakes.
But as an ex-media person, I aver that it’s not the media “making shit up” as the narrative nowadays seems to be. It’s more that they are reporting everything faster than ever in the hopes of beating the competition and as a result getting a lot of things wrong.
Does it make them complicit…absolutely. They need to do better. But it make them the “evil” ones. No. Not at all. The boots on the ground, so-to-speak, the everyday journalist’s job, passion, raison d’etre has always been to report the news and bring it to the people. To speak truth to power and all that rigamarole. The problem is that there’s too much information floating around to do that properly anymore.

They’ve learned from the previous doctor that when a prominent Palestinian “dies during interrogation”, there are literally zero consequences. So fuck it, let’s get this guy back into custody and let the problem take care of itself…
I guarantee you that was the thought process.
So according to the media, Russia is both “outproducing the west in artillery shells by a factor of three” and having trouble producing artillery leading it to seek tighter cooperation with North Korea.
Both of these things can’t be true…
you have already given up on life and the world
Yeah, that sounds about accurate for me…
I always thought the “We got 'em” line was from Obama referring to Osama Bin Laden. I totally forgot it was actually about Hussein’s capture.
I had a whole buzz-kill response written out about how the joke made no sense because it was conflating two different people. But I figured I should check my facts before hitting that good old post button, and whaddyaknow…
The more you learn, boys and girls.
The bigger question is. Why is this even being operated as an actual game?
Because the longer they call it an “alpha” the longer they can try to rake in more kickstarter money and the longer they can use “it’s an alpha” to excuse game breaking bugs.
The moment they hit 1.0, they become officially answerable to their customers for having a playable game.
Why do that when you/re perpetually raking in the money anyway.
Seriously…whether it ever actually hits 1.0 or not, making the microtransactions/real money purchases live in a product that they “insist” isn’t a game yet, is just shady as fuck.
The top 20% of earners start at $80,000/year
Jeez…I knew it was bad. But I didn’t realize it was that bad.
I’m not questioning or anything. Just interested in knowing where you got that number from.
You don’t get to that level of “rich” by having the capacity to self-reflect.
I’m not even kidding when I say it’s getting to be pretty close to the time that we need to break out the guillotines and remind these people what happens if they get too sure of themselves.
That was my first guess as well. People who are wealthy enough to both a) not be affected by it will generally be wealthy enough to not do their own shopping.
Traditionally this hasn’t been how Canadian politics has played out. We tend to have long running federal governments over single term governments except in cases of extremely disastrous political results (ie. forcing an early election by a vote of non-confidence, etc…)
Canadian voters seem to be very very patient. It won’t matter how shitty PP and the Cons are as a government, voters will keep on electing them in for a decade or more before finally having enough. Same as we did with the Liberals, and same as we did with Harper before that.
