It’s also just missing the forest for the trees. Blaming the individual instead of the overaching problem of capitalistic consumerism, just so the comic author can feel a sort of superiority over others.

Same thing is happening in Europe btw, 11% of France’s gas stations have run out of gas or diesel completely, with no signs of it getting better.

I just turned on the LRT radio and was listening in for a moment when they said that the drone got shot down.

Same, wasn’t pleasant hearing the phone alarm go off twice (and hearing the jets fly overhead outside)

He is/was a crypto shill and did partnerships with crypto companies where he made music about their products. I distinctly remember a song he made called “Spider Tank” for an NFT game called “Spider Tanks”

Very creative, I know.

Techbro oligarchs would love nothing more than for you to use AI because it ultimately turns your brain into soup from its sycophantic behaviour. Many cases of AI psychosis have appeared and a lot of stories of suicides spurred on by LLMs have come out.

The billionaires push LLMs on everyone because it’ll turn you into political cattle. Locally run models won’t help you because the problems don’t come from the fact that other models are run on their private servers, it comes from the effects of prolonged AI usage.

I mean, it is true that if you don’t use a GPS or an electronic map that you do develop a better awareness of your surroundings and the street mapping. Same way using a guide to something doesn’t let you really remember and commit to memory the task you’re doing.

It’s just that AI exacerbates that tendency tenfold, because you don’t even have to follow a guide if the guide does it for you.

Genuinely my biggest gripe with their entire instance. How do they not realize that by using LLMs you rob yourself of the chance to gain new skills in art or coding?

I think the funniest part about the Odyssey conservative backlash is that Ben Shapiro of all people actually liked the movie because it “has clear conservative messaging with the law of Xenia”

He also for some reason thinks that Xenia is a biblical addition to the film by the director. Not sure how he ended up with that conclusion.

Then block those people yourself instead of complaining about them.

Yeah okay, fair enough, he looks like a moron.

I think other people can buy the blue checkmark for you on twitter, though my information may be faulty.

In any case, just cause he gave money to that ass wipe Elon doesn’t mean that his analogy isn’t valid, just a little “leopards ate my face” kinda deal.

The US exports the wrong type of oil that they’re running out of. Their refineries are built specifically for the oil extracted from the Middle East and retooling them to accept American oil is just out of the question since it’ll take too long before they run out stockpiles.

Isn’t he decrying the fact that not taking up arms (or advocating for) against an aggressor, such as Nazi Germany, is specifically pro-fascist, because it allows to do anything they want unopposed.

Meanwhile your quote highlights the fact that Orwell thought that being honest about the Soviet Union and its critiques in political discussions is a mark of intellectual honesty, which isn’t really pro-fascist, since you can critique the United States and still be anti-communist after all.

Sure, that’s an interpretation of George Orwell’s ideology, but what’s your take on the quote?

There’s a combat assistance setting I believe if you have trouble with some of the bosses or the combat in general.

A few hours in and you restarted from the beginning? That’s weird considering the game has autosaves, unless there’s a quirk about the switch version.

Do you remember what dialogue you died on perhaps?

It’s only a modest proposal.

Well there is a much larger focus on realistic survival, but I bet you could make some kind of item sorter using chutes and stuff. There are ways to grind mobs, but nothing to really cheese them like in Minecraft.

As for item diversity, there is a lot of different tree and mineral types (think Magnetite and Hematite being 2 ores for iron, with them being able to spawn in different rock types). I haven’t had too many issues with item sorting, but I’m rather disorganised in terms of sorting my storage.

Modders have probably made some sort of storage mods, since modding in VS is very robust and easy compared to Minecraft.

Crafting tools goes from bashing rocks together on the ground to make tool heads to pouring molten metal in clay tool molds (or physically smithing them out on an anvil with a hammer).

There are windmills, and the next update will bring water wheels, which power certain more advanced machinery like querns for grinding grain or helve hammers for somewhat automatic smithing.
