I've only played it once but: Frostpunk. It is absolutely gorgeous, thematically well done, but damn it felt like we played wrong because we just failed so hard. I think ultimately I walked away saying, "was that supposed to be fun?" -- and Robinson Crusoe is one of my favorites so I don't mind difficulty.

I played Void and Camp and excitedly went out and got Creech and Station one (sorry, can't remember names). Looking forward to trying those two then mix and matching but definitely concerned it'll disappoint as well.

Damn, reading these comments it's pretty much working.

I had one of those Vivent door to door folks walk up to me one day, garage open. I was polite enough but explained I had no interest in storing a video feed of my house on their servers as I'd like to do illegal things if I want. They assured me it was stored with "aes256 encryption" - which they expect most laymen to be wowed by - but what good is encryption if they own the keys and crumble to government requests?

Not sure about down vote(s), that's what it says.

Although here's my prediction: this is the start of yet another narrative to justify why food prices must go up (to satisfy investors and line pockets).

Start planting that seed now, "sorry folks, self check out is losing us money, we have to increase prices another 10%!"

Maybe this is what Jaden Smith meant when he famously stated:

How Can Mirrors Be Real If Our Eyes Aren't Real

Wow, still blown away...

Yeah, unless this person runs a YouTube or podcast it seems implausible. What would you train a random AI on for the normal person?

I could see a situation where you hack a phone, get the contacts and call history, pick the 1st or 2nd most dialed number, have a bot call that person to get samples, then go back to the original phone and try this... I mean, eventually you'd get a hit?

One way to look at: "here's a pay increase to help subsidize your new union!"

I can see what you're driving towards. It'd be far more ideal for us adults to hash this out, yeah?

I wish they'd remove Under God from the damn pledge of allegiance, but it seems schools are the next major battleground (sometimes literally) for all things political.

Whereas I've avoided social networking sites (like FB/IG/etc) because I've always known most folks use it to brag about how much fun they're having or what they just bought - LinkedIn is a horrible mixture of how much corporate KoolAid they can drink and their newest job/promotion.

I don't mind being proud of friends who are doing well but seeing it in condensed milk form makes me sick and applies to both.

Thomas Hayden Church that's some midriff.

Feels like something the EU would eventually work on settling: making all tool manufacturers have a non-proprietary connector.
