But it’s “poo” for a shit, “Pooh” is the bear

Never played Vicky but I’m a big fan of CK2 which I imagine ticks most of the same clunky paradox grand strategy that’s horrible to learn but will suck up hundreds of wonderful hours of your life boxes?

That’s the true deception

Nice!

I made a post about this earlier today, if anyone knows the game well enough to know how to mass-download levels before the servers shut down, or even just how many levels are included on the disc, then please give me a shout!

Posting links to the Epic Games store. Not praising it, not telling people to spend money on it, just posting links to their free game giveaways in a community specifically for free game giveaways, compete with a [Epic] tag that they can filter out if they don’t want to see it.

Obviously the downvotes are a minority, but it’s still a bit weird.

That’s not bring cynical, it’s just being realistic. They’re a publicly traded company, every action they take has to (by law?) be to make more money!

Did they sell it though? Everyone who bought it got the game they paid for (and now sort of don’t have anymore, lol) but wasn’t the promise of PvE an add-on to the now free game?

The glassiest of cannons, I look forward to it!

Yeah it was only pre-holy mantle that I gave up on, The Lost is actually a pretty interesting character to play now. Is Tainted Lost still slightly easier than original Lost though?

Were they things that don’t usually happen in years 1 and 2? I guess they could just be stuff that was added since I last played!

Well that’s probably a good thing for playing casually. I think end of year 2 is the earliest though, so that’s kind of a “soft” deadline.

There is sort of a time limit though, you get your “review” at the end of the second year (at which point no new events happen). Also getting things planted in time for when the seasons change etc is kind of time-limiting.

But that’s all detail, it’s great that people can enjoy it without time pressures!

I played it to completion. Then Rebirth came out and I played it to completion (barring The Lost, because come on). I only recently picked up Repentance and I’m already another 200 hours in.

❤️, or perhaps I should say ❤️🤍🤍💙💙🖤💔

They do at least get updates though, and they’re big enough that they don’t get forgotten!

industrial or IOT devices running deprecated Unix / Linux derivatives

This is my concern, all the embedded devices happily running in underground systems like pipes and cables. I assume there are at least a few which nobody even considered patching because they’ve “just worked” for decades!

Relevant xkcd

Is this a sponsored post by a bought-and-paid-for shill, or is the writer just so worn down by microtransactions over the years that they’re Stockholm-Syndromed into thinking this is somehow OK?

I don’t really know much about art but aren’t dwarves more like brutalism?

I get your sentiment (that you don’t need to we wealthy to be happy), but most definitions of “poverty” aren’t just “not rich”, they’re more “unable to afford basic means”, which there is a lot wrong with!
