Slightly OT, but how did you like the game?

T470 here (the anniversary model). I’ll part with it when someone takes it from my cold, dead body.

Civ games at launch are often a bit of a mixed bag, and the games improve over time with patches and expansions. That being said, the game isn’t even fully out yet, and early Steam reviews are notoriously unreliable and undifferentiated. For your first civ game, maybe look at earlier titles like Civ 5 or 6. They have aged very well, I still play 6 all the time.

Ah yes, the famed document <-> JSON converter.

I recently switched from 1 January 1900 to 1 January 2000. It feels good to be young again.

Anything less than NUKED isn’t worth my time

Isn’t that illegal? What kind of license is uBO under?

True, but digital ownership is a fickle thing that depends in large part on how much I trust the seller. Between a >50% discount on Steam and a free game on Epic, I would still choose Steam every time, because I would feel like I “own” that game more than I would on Epic (where I would still hesitate to buy anything more than the 2-3 free games that would interest me there).

Aight, I’ll not do a whole new one for this…

There’s nothing more awe-inspiring than the online equivalent of a few hundred toddlers screaming for attention.

For me, it feels like a mix between Rimworld (colonists with schedules, traits, and skills) and Factorio (complex production chains, finite resources). Add to that a unique physics system, where everything has a weight, a melting point, a conductivity and so on, and you’ve got ONI.

Fate of Atlantis? Kid me loved that one, but it’s been ages since I played it.

I agree, I would just like to have more of them.

See it more like “preventing a website whose owner refuses to comply withEuropean law from operating in the EU”.

You must gather your congregation before venturing forth!

It’s colossally stupid.

This was 16-year-old me with The 13th Warrior. Thought it was pretty good. I have never watched it again, so I wonder if today’s me would say the same.

Ortographobia.

systemd is a great operating system, it just lacks a decent text editor.
