I don’t have much if an opinion on the rest of your argument but:

probably before most people started realizing it was being trained off stolen artwork as well as a lot of the other problems with AI.

This is the equivalent to those Tesla owners pasting “I bought this before Elon went crazy” stickers. Especially the creative industries were very quick to point out the problematic part of stuff like Dall-E and stable diffusion. Generative Graphical AI has never been approved of by the gamedevs I know.

You feel like reality around you is changing

The word URINE echoes around you…

Time for me to turn into Rene Descartes

Also the mere concept of a front panel HDMI port

IIRC move 1 space in any diagonal but that might be even before then

No worries! 😁

Baltics -> Balkan. Baltics is Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. They are also preparing for the worst though it’s just that Serbia isn’t part of it

Disagree on the train part. Getting hit by a train is just getting crushed by gravity but sideways

Checked the build.zig file for ghostty, seems to be for manpage generation. Zig itself doesn’t use Haskell though

Netherlands :)

For me it’s not the time spent at the checkout that matters, it’s the time spent waiting at the checkout. Also over here cashiers don’t bag your items for you, so you have to do that anyway

Also also, they have these really handy hand scanners over here so I can already bag my items while I’m walking through the store, and then the only thing I have to do at self-checkout is hand in the scanner and pay for the groceries. That is genuinely a lot faster than normal cash register shenanigans.

Ayooo

Spheres of Chaos is an old asteroids based game that really ups the ante on trippyness and cool sounds

I should warn you though that it is very flashy, so epilepsy warning is in order

Honestly all of the mysims games I played were the shit when I was a child. Don’t know what I would thing about them today though but

Yeah if you play ssf you sidestep these problems entirely and then the only problem you might have is simply just inventory management (which also only comes up in the lategame)

You can easily get through PoE1’s main campaign without paying a dime

Someone also posted a video of them essentially getting through the “midgame” of path of exile in 24 hours without paying as well https://youtu.be/JeIDCxQhZM4

However, during that midgame he shows that he really starts having trouble with the lack of stash tabs for trading. It’s doable, but that’s kind of where you start hitting your limits

All in all, if you play for the main campaign it’s essentially just a free game, and if you play without trading the game is still designed to be somewhat doable. Really the only thing you miss out on is trading

As a nix user, guix looks legit nice but it took me until 2 days ago to actually find community projects made for guix(https://whereis.みんな/) . Sometimes I just wish they used the same store and daemon as nix so that nix packages can work as guix dependencies and vice versa.

(Also major thing stopping me from using guix is I don’t get service types at all, let alone how you’d define your own service :( )

Very cool!
