As someone else who prefers 3, I think that it's more fun to explore and generally has a better atmosphere. New Vegas has better writing but the world feels empty. 3 more fun to actually play. Honestly, I'd probably take 4 over NV for the same reason.
1/2 I haven't managed to get into. At all.
ETA - I was also never really interested in the wild west as a setting, so NV has a bit of an uphill battle from the start.
Do they? It's not like the palaces and fancy hats just vanish if you abolish the institution. The tourists will come anyway, there's no king in the Versailles palace and it's still a major tourist attraction.
If I had to guess I'd assume that it's cheaper than doing it in-house. And considering that Musk fired the vast majority of Twitter's most talented staff when he took over it's probably also more reliable, even with today's outage on the record.
It's not but it's also kind of irrelevant to the situation in Europe right now because it's history. The Soviet Union and it's puppet regimes fell decades ago, and the Eastern Block sponsored communist terrorists (RAF, Red Brigades, etc.) went down along with it.
Considering just how many of the top results in any search engine are AI generated SEO farming I can understand why people do it. Finding decent results is HARD these days, especially on subjects you're not already familiar with (because you'll not notice the red flags).
And what has changed since? An individual murdering one single person doesn't change anything in the grand scheme of things. You can't lone wolf systemic change.
Are those jobs they actually want or are those jobs they have to work because they need a job, any job? To me low-level service positions vanishing being a problem seems more like a systemic issue than a problem with AI (the examples given aren't even particularly AI heavy), and if we could move away from people being effectively forced to work jobs they don't like working I'd be all for it.
I've never seen a shop have different prices for different payment methods in my life.
Is that an America thing?
