Even for new weapons and ammo it is usually just spending on the local weapons manufacturers so basically just supporting your own economy.

Sorry to hear that you consider your time worthless. Have you tried therapy for that?

Just because he is an idiot who never worked a day in his life and so doesn’t know that your productivity goes down significantly without relaxation that doesn’t mean that anyone should listen to that drivel.

I have a feeling the Fallout show is quite similar in terms of not being popular outside of people who already like that particular universe.

Yeah, it could upset plans such as tickets, amounts of food brought along, seat reservations at restaurants,… so it is a bit rude to keep that to the last minute.

“Don’t be evil”…

I have had days like that as a programmer.

I guess that is how they got Gaetz on board. They meant they wanted to send kids back into the mines and he thought they meant something even more disgusting.

The fact is that major tech companies are investing billions in this.

They have literally invested billions in every single hype cycle of the last few decades that turned out to be a pile of crap in hindsight. This is a bad argument.

Reminds me of the old hybrid animals subreddit.

There aren’t many industries where results that are correct in the very common case everybody knows anyway, a bit wrong in the less common case and totally hallucinated in the actually original cases is useful. Especially if you can’t distinguish between those automatically.

Can you name some of those uses that you see lasting in the long term or even the medium term? Because while it has been used for a lot of things it seems to be pretty bad at the overwhelming majority of them.

Most people have the concern that the Trump concept is being copied to their country’s politics now.

Mostly AI is total shit as a search engine replacement. About the only bit where it is semi-useful is if you can only describe what you are looking for in words that describe what you mean as a semantic sentence but not as a set of keywords. And even then it is mostly useful to find a set of keywords to use in a proper search engine.

They might be off about the temporary part and possibly the illness part if that turns into injury instead but other than that spot on.

That is the key thing that is wrong with the whole “work ethic” rhetoric. Working longer hours is not good for productivity unless you have a job that basically has no quality metric attached to anything you produce and quantity is just measured in time worked.

At people trying to gaslight others that a bad design is a good game.

Honestly, I just absolutely hate passing out when I just found something on that confusing map of a town and then having to trot there again the next day at that incredibly slow pace. It just feels like someone is spawn-camping me in a PvP game, absolutely unpleasant experience to get interrupted in my chosen task again and again like that.

Honestly, looking at posts like this what annoys me most about Stardew Valley is the number of people who like the game who tell you how you are playing it wrong if you don’t enjoy the core gameplay loop. The only other type of game that is comparable in that respect are games like Souls-likes but most of those have more awareness that they only appeal to a specific type of player.

Even just 1971->2024 inflation would make $3 into $23.36 and I doubt the small one would be $100+ today.
