Just use Steam.
Just use Steam.
Then your bigger problem is using Windows…
I never played any of the others so I can’t really comment.
I just really loved the living world - it’s why I tried the game after playing Oblivion.
So few games have that - Dwarf Fortress, Ultima and Oblivion still stand far ahead of the rest.
Honourable mentions for Baldur’s Gate 3, Crusader Kings 2, and Tears of the Kingdom.
But the lump of labour fallacy is wrong - in the end automation makes us all wealthier as goods become cheaper, and people can do more productive work (and be better educated for it too).
But how would they know? It’s like Blade Runner.
This is the new luddite movement.
It really is. Degrowth is destitution and death - just look at Germany.
We need to decouple electricity production from environmental damage - build renewable power and nuclear power station en masse and invest heavily in nuclear fusion.
Have used maybe 2 cheques, bought a condo share but a house is a whole other matter. That said I don’t think it’s impossible, the main issue is just stability, if I had a partner who earnt as much then it would still be tough but not impossible.
But you can absolutely own your residence OP - just look for smaller places, in cheaper areas, and jobs that would offer a good salary : cost of living ratio. You’ll probably have to start with a condo in a HOA, etc. but that’s better than renting.
This is incredible, it feels like parts of the USA are so advanced.
Here in Sweden we’re going backwards, they even took out self-scanning at a lot of supermarkets due to theft.
I remember being like that with Morrowind.
Kerbal Space Program, Shadow Empire and Baldur’s Gate 3.
The whole thing reeked of propaganda intended to make the left look stupid
Got some bad news for you…
Wtf is a “professional communicator”? How do you think you get there?
They just needed someone who wasn’t really weird, and had a proper job. Look at Mick Lynch’s interviews in the UK for example - he did great work for the union.
Most of it has gone to “Social Justice” and groups pushing for racism, etc. sadly.
Nah, it’s a scam if you look into it. They spend it all on “AI Safety” and “Existential Risk” bullshit.
It’s a shame as the general concept is cool with microloans and crowd-funding, etc. but it’s really been taken over by that crowd.
Back then they had no cars at all though.
But yeah he’s not personally building the rockets and engines, but he’s still far, far better than 99% of politicians and oligarchs who are just using the same money to go to Epstein’s island etc.
This but unironically. Tesla put electric vehicles on the map. Starship will change humanity forever, and Neuralink is already helping patients.
He’s not perfect (but hey, Von Braun was worse), but at least he’s actually doing stuff that matters.
I never switched. Just doesn’t seem worth the hassle.
Loads of broken features and extra work shoved onto the individual compositor / WM developers. I don’t care about security on my own computer, I just want screen sharing and clipboards to work reliably.
That said, I use just one (ultrawide) monitor, so even the benefits aren’t really there at all.
I learnt Spanish like this. Mainly finishing Duolingo and downloading some textbooks and doing a few MOOC courses and listening to slow podcasts, and then watching basic movies.
Once I got to the point I could watch movies and TV, I would watch a movie almost every single day.
It’s a lot of work, but to get to the point of speaking and listening it is necessary.
It took about 2 years in total - and then I started a job working in Spanish.
