Yeah I was kinda bummed to see that it is generally regarded as abandoned now. They had some interesting concepts going and I honestly didn't think it needed a restart.

Interesting. I am going to take a look at this. When I was waiting on Bannerlord, Freeman: Guerilla Warfare did something like this and it scratched an itch. They stopped development to supposedly start over but last they posted anything was about a year ago.

Decades of these things doing flybys and they still don't know what they are? Incompetent retards or complete bullshit...

What are your thoughts on why there is a lack of cooperation? 1) Worried about exposure of illicit activities? 2) Protection of collection methods and capabilities? 3) Protection of black projects? 4) Aliens are here and we don't want to signal that we know it have craft? 5) Aliens are here we...

So like a false flag to justify more spy shit on US soil?

There has been a lot of talk about this. It is not very sexy but the word is that this is a recurring type. The real question is why did they relase it? Slow drip reveal or psyop to disguise something?

I have played both Battle Brothers and WarTales and WarTales was much more to my liking. I did feel that it was a little too difficult to keep enough cash flowing to pay the team and that made it feel like I was constantly chasing wages instead of progressing. Sounds like they have made some...

@Mist what is it with the chatbot fascination? Personally, I find the art generators more interesting and impressive. The fact that Zuck is pivoting from pissing away money on VR to pissing it away chasing far more talented AI orgs tells me all I need to know about where it is headed.

I find working on embedded systems to be far more interesting than another bullshit application of some sort. Something about holding, interacting with, driving, flying the product is very rewarding. And, it's actually easier in some ways than other toes of development. The OS's, libraries...

I've been doing remote embedded since about 2016. Got all the equipment I need, etc. It has its challenges but it 100% beats going into an office.

I know several people who have worked directly with Elon and they all report him to be a maniac and/or asshole. Although, if you have ever seen the video of him telling the story of when SpaceX was on their last leg, he seems to be sincerely emotional about it. He's certainly doing his part...

If you think "Mexico" and "Safe" belong in the same sentence, I'd say you're out of your fucking mind. Please explain.

Yeah I've interviewed with SpaceX and been called by some other space companies but as a software/firmware person you'll inevitably have to move to some liberal shithole. I don't think there is any amount of money for which I would move to LA, SF, Seattle, etc.

I'm working at a nice little company; treated well, appreciated, got a 40k increase last year (I had received another offer and they countered), usually pretty cushy, low bullshit factor, great boss, meaningful product, and... I'm at a point where I'm just bored/burned out. Do you guys get...

Still employed, but I have been thinking more seriously about my next move. Can we add recruiters to the list of useless people in organizations? 90% of them are fucking awful. 99.99999% if you go international and count all of the Pajeets calling about random jobs. I would imagine most...

Wait, are you actually Tom "I have some AMAZING UFO info but I can't share now" DeLonge?

Ah, MFF, the guy who never met a conspiracy theory he didn't like. Tell me, what do you consider to be the most compelling evidence that these sightings do not have prosaic explanations. Believe me, I would love nothing more than to see an actual extra-terrestrial or super-terrestrial craft...

"may be" reverse engineering, "could be" aliens. Wake me up when someone has something concrete. Until then, I will just assume that Corbell, Elizondo, Greer, etc. are just faggot grifters. As a matter of fact, if an alien rings my doorbell in 5 minutes, those three are still faggot grifters...

$30? Eh. I guess we'll see whether it will turn out to be a good investment. Lots of imbalanced and/or annoying shit. - Fish traps don't work. - Meat takes forever to dry and then just fucking disappears too quickly after drying. - Limited to carrying 3 fish. Not even enough to fill up a...

Been playing a lot of 7DTD and some of the mods out there really improve the experience.

This. We hit Mistlands and everything sort of petered out. It all becomes a little tedious. Good game though. Easily worth the price.

I don't know of any mods that add personality to NPCs but there is a mod called Distinguished Service that allows you to optionally promote troops to companions when they meet certain conditions. I think it is something like max level and 5 kills in a single battle. When you promote them, you...

Probably true, but I doubt it is to the same extent as Bannerlord. Go have a look at the forums and see what bugs and missing features people have been asking about for years. They just half-ass shit and constantly introduce and re-introduce bugs. It's much prettier than Warband, of course...

I have gotten my money out of it but it really has some problems once you get beyond the veneer. Maybe after another 5 years.

Currently playing 7DTD with the Darkness Falls mod. Epic. If you try the mod, make sure you patch to the current dev branch to fix the end game storyline quest. 7DTD has so much potential and those retards keep churning systems but just need to fucking optimize it. A decade in Alpha. PS- If...

I've only dabbled with this for a few minutes but I started a Demolitionist, selected Fire Strike as my first skill, and mapped it to a hotkey. Is there some way to make that the default attack with mouse click or do I just have to keep spamming the hotkey?

Started reading about this after some recommendations here and almost bought it last weekend. Glad I waited.

Interesting. I tried asking a few different ways and it kept giving me the answer about it being disrespectful. I even tried pinning it down on the "respect" argument since it doesn't have the ability to feel respect.

I asked ChatGPT to write a poem about Nancy Pelosi, in style of Robert Frost, using the linguistics of Donald Trump. It refused on the grounds that it would be disrespectful to Nancy and Robert. Fuck off you humorless, woke, Trannybot.

Reading the forum, a lot people saying the update is a mess. Lots of CTDs. Wanderers disappearing. Renown calculations not working. There is still so much in the game that is bare-bones half-assed shit that it might as well be early early access. Courting, Marriage, Workshops, Companions...

One of the few patches with significant additions so I will give them that. I guess the new roguery gameplay options will be interesting? Nothing jumps out at me that makes me want to load it up again.

Balls deep in Valheim with a group of friends. Just took out Modor and so now we'll probably spend a few days upgrading and prepping for the Plains. We already have a base there we'll need to spin up some of our new unlocks, prep gear, etc.

My Dad was a firefighter and this was one of the dishes they made at the station to feed a big group and he made it at home too. You have to add some cheese though. We called it "Targoo" and fucking loved it.

I find most of the contract houses that contact me are either offering rates that, annualized, are less than my current salary, and/or are Indians spamming positions that are probably unrelated to my background. Hard pass.

What are you guys using for job searches these days? I can't decide if my current employer or LinkedIn is more annoying.

This game seems like it is one of those games that is more fun to talk/think about playing than actually playing (Eve?). It sounds good on paper but it's so ugly, complicated and unforgiving that I just don't get it. I tried the original a couple of times but it just seemed so bad. What am I...

I have started Skyrim a couple of times and I always end up getting bored and stopping near the beginning, basically right after the werewolf storyline. This is probably heresy. Every now and then I think about starting it up and trying a different playstyle to see if it clicks. Don't think I...

60 players on a Vaheim server sounds like a shitshow.
