    What vehicle do you drive?

    The wipers management is ok, not great but I never found a car that was 100% spot on. However, the headlights management is one of the worst i've seen. I drive also a cheap ford galaxy, it's night and day how better the ford is at not blinding others. A HUD is indeed missing, but that did not...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Love when people are talking shit on how tesla are shitty cars, while driving a shitty Peugeot with the same engine as my lawnmower. Most engines are shitty anyway, built by accountants in an excel sheet, the marketing team tag a few stupid name such as "blue tech" "EcoPowerDrive" etc. , and...

    New patch is out, with corrections to some of the biggest issues and bugs I had, so it's moving in the right direction. The game is not slow at all once you have more than a village, but it lacks some management features. Impressive that one guy could do almost everything by himself, but it's...

    I'd say 50/50. Luke is really lame and had the charisma of Hutt's fat bulges.

    Only HF can melt silicates efficiently, and I doubt they could produce and deal with it without burning themselves to death.

    Manor lords

    So i've put a few hours in this during the weekend, it is definitely a slow game. It's enjoyable, but it lacks QoL features. I'd say it's a few patches away from being really enjoyable in early access. If anyone played Caesar 3, it's very similar. Without the glory of Rome though

    Factorio

    Never played krastorio or SE, but is there a reason why your trains are that short ? I usually try to have a t leas 6-8 wagons in the original game, is there some super wagon there or there is so few items built that you can't wait for a full train to load ?

    I invested early in trading just becaus of the review i read, but it was indeed much less profitable that expected. I will start over tonight and focus a bit more on basic stuff.

    Just got my village ravaged because I didnt arm my guys. The army stuff is not really well done (or like Tarrant said, they aren't holding your hand). It's also quite slow, which I like. It's also gorgeous.

    My Dell precision is getting too cumbersome for travelling, and I'm considering switching to the new M3 macbook. Mainly office work with quite a lot of adobe shit. the price is absolutely crazy for this though, so I've been very hesitant. I've read that the Surface is ok but the battery gets...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Went to see this yesterday. Most negs points are already discussed here. Great movie. two questions though : Is it my flawed memory or wasn't worm riding a much bigger deal in the book ? like almost anybody wondering how could fremen move so fast without orni ? During skirmishes between fremen...

    I see - I join you on a few points; although I'm absolutely not equipped to understand the cosmologic equations and what they imply, I still haven't found a good explanation why redshift isn't a doppler effect but something else.

    Taking photo of something that emits or reflects no lights seems indeed strange. What part of dark matter theory do you think is flawed ? (if you made a post already can you link it to me ?)

    we had to shut down a full production line of a pharma plant because some maintenance guy forgot to remove the protection plastic inside a new pump when installing it. The first sanitization with steam melted the plastic and spread it everywhere in the pipes, filters, valves, sensors, etc.

    Ancient Civilizations

    Guys who construct theories about giants, extraterrestrials or advanced ancient civilisations every time a stone has a right angle or a geological structure is a bit unusual remind me of those girls who, as soon as they see a lens flare on a Facebook photo, make a comment like "ooh a forest...

    Watched the last Indiana Jones, 2/10. The woman is insufferable and her plot makes no sense to me. Harrison Ford was pathetic in every action scenes, and stunt doubles too obvious. The first half of the movie is terrible (fell asleep) and worth 0/10. I did not hate the second half, somehow it...

    Just binged this last weekend after having a hard SW burn out due to ob1. This show really felt like reading a book. The build up, the slow pace, I liked almost everything; sometimes it felt like he wanted to tell a story, or add some background, and someone said no cut this bs and he had to...

    Im a layman also but « dark matter » , especially when put into perspective with the higgs fields, sounds quite interesting. Something that interacts with it but not with the electromagnetic field. Could be 100% bullshit but i guess like someone said above, scientists love to insult their...

    I think the simpler look of factorio gives you a better feel of the factory than DSP. But DSP is beautiful and feels more like a 21th century game

    I thought the axial precession cycle of earth would be the cause of this. Fun fact, some dude theoretized that a glaciation has occured on earth every 41'000 years, over the last couple of hundreds thousands years, due to both axial precession and the influence of jupiter/saturn on our orbit...

    Yeah they have to change the numbering on runways in airport every 7-8 years or so because of this, since they are named according to their magnetic azimuth.

A magnetic pole shift would probably creates a lot of problems but we would survive. A geological pole shift can happen only if we get hit by something big, and then the...

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    That was abused many times on my server when the nef/ony heads were mandatory. Some guilds wanted to get their items and bypass the server buff schedule, so they would mass report the designated dude that was supposed to do the turn in so they could do theirs. However, one of their members was...
