Just started playing it last week and the thing that really struck me so far is how well done the tutorials are. They’re broken down into separate sections that form one continuous development sequence and you can stop and start anytime. Also, they give you the perfect amount of control in each tutorial without letting you derail the process (which I will do every time, given half a chance).

So far my favourite has been the Storage Management tutorial, because when it’s over it doesn’t pull you back out to the menus and you can just observe the crew of the two ships going about their business, click on all the equipment to see what it is and get a sense of good equipment placement for as long as you like.

I’m 3 hours in and still haven’t left the tutorials yet but that’s my issue cos I get overwhelmed really easily.

“She’s your mother! Show some respect” <- friends and family after every toxic, manipulative, narcissistic thing that woman did. The eternal free pass.

“I’m seeing a bunch of posts insinuating” - I think we’re well past insinuating. Straight out declaring would be more accurate now. The man has no credibility left. No one trusts him with the truth, their money or their daughters. If I was a betting man I’d say his foreign handlers are already lining up the next candidate for the world stage. You can also tell, by the way, that none of the big media channels are buying it either. All you need to do is compare their coverage now with at the coverage of the assassination attempts of previous presidents. When Reagan got shot the whole world stopped to look. It was literally everywhere. This, so called, “attempt” was a small front page story that will be gone in a couple of days. The mid terms are coming. I expect more and more panicked moves between now and November.

I bought Dig 2 because of your comment. I’m three hours into it and it’s lots of fun! (Edit: Also it’s 90% discounted right now 😁)

Ooh I’ll check that out. I had a go at the Steamworld Build demo a while ago. Maybe I should have another look.

Being a good lover takes years of practice, not just physically but mentally and emotionally. So, by all means let’s have zero practice and just assume everything will go well 🤣

So, correct me if I’m wrong by all means, but Google News is just the channel isn’t it? Right now I’m seeing content on there from a dozen different news organisations (BBC, Reuters, Sky News, The Guardian, The Telegraph etc.)

What’s the negative with it being conveyed via Google News?

This site needs more people to know about it (and it was only one guy called Iain MacDonald maintaining it. I think one other person joined him recently).

It’s called NewsMap. It’s a wall of headlines that updates over time. No distractions, no images and you can choose your region and the topics you want to see. The dude revived it after the original site went down for some reason a few years ago. Pretty cool, specially for my ADHD brain.

This is NSFW so I’ll cover it in spoiler text…

Nvidia are making $750 million a day… I think they’ll cope 🤣

Oh thank God.

Without looking I’m going to imagine he’ll say Jimmy Savile. (Edit: Just checked and bingo… Savile was an utter scumbag pedophile who was said to have abused over 450 children. Evil living in plain sight.)

I wonder how all the “Lawsuit incoming” doomsayers feel now? They were so sure too, almost smug about it. In the end it was a massive gamble but it seems to have paid off hugely for them no?

What if… We’re all being manipulated by Nvidia? What if they are the ones that started this “global outrage” in the first place? What if that’s how a mega-corp markets it’s products these days? What if they know that the anti AI cultists aren’t actually the biggest group, just one of the loudest ones?

Look at the result. Look at how many people are talking about this. Look at how it’s front page news all of a sudden. Look at how many people are now aware it exists.

In the end all that will matter is that they did a thing and now the whole world knows about it. In the end DLSS5 will go ahead and games will look better than they ever have before. In the end all the memes, jokes, likes, upvotes and downvotes will be a footnote in the story of how AI came to games. In the end we will all keep wishing for better and better gfx cards and that… is the point.

I felt the same way my whole life and then two years ago I discovered I just had ADHD. It explained everything and I found community with others who had a similar experience. I’ve never been happier. Last night, for example, I had a meal with a bunch of people who also have ADHD. We hired a private, quiet, comfortably lit dining room in a countryside Inn, took all our masks off, broke out a bunch of fidget toys and chatted. It was amazing, it always is. Find your community 😁

I know what you mean. I always go for this one - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07V43JNZ7

It’s got a hard but velvety finish and the hinges are quiet. I also find that using it one handed means I can have it out of sight by my hip which makes it less obvious and noisy too.

Infinity cube. I’ve got loads of them. It really helps me listen when people are talking to me.

So. Much. Exposition…

I don’t think we’re on opposite sides of any argument here mr argumentativemonotheist (great username btw 🤣). The only slight difference is that I’m saying that almost no one, in my experience, survives that test.

If you want a great example of how instantly otherwise good people become the worst versions of themselves almost overnight watch what happens when a rich person with a large family dies. I did a couple of years in the will writing sector. I’m telling ya… zero to Golem in no time at all. I’ve also watched good people I knew extremely well turn bad too many times to remember. It all starts with “I couldn’t possibly have servants. How embarrassing!” and before you know it it’s “Eduardo! I’ve told you a hundred times I need my watermelon juice chilled! One more mistake and it’s back to Caracas!”. People should have to undergo intense psychological training to be able to be rich and stay human.
