It's really frustrating because it's probably the game I get most annoyed at (never got so annoyed at Counter-Strike or other competitive games I've played, but also, when I'm doing well, it's the most fun I've had in a game for a few years.
I also picked up RimWorld based off the suggestions of some people on here and have been having a blast. First colony (from the tutorial) lasted like 30 minutes lol. Second one went a few hours but then I sent a caravan to some quest and they ended up getting ambushed and dying. I still had one pawn at my colony but they ended up getting attacked by some manhunting guinea pigs... then a random pawn came and joined my colony but when I sent them to rescue the first person they also got attacked and died haha.

kari Link ParentThanks! I played FTL back in the day (as in, whenever it was relatively new). I'll have to try it out again. Into the Breach sounds cool, too!Thanks!

Sometimes my girlfriend commandeers my desktop to play games like Fallout 4 (which she discovered after the Fallout TV series last year) and sometimes I’ll go on my laptop while she does that. I usually like to program when I’m on my laptop then but I’m looking for suggestions for games to play that don’t need a mouse or much graphical power. Is Dwarf Fortress something I should try?

Comment on I'm tired of dismissive anti-AI bias in ~tech
kari Link ParentWhen I used Copilot in neovim for a bit, it mostly seemed like a glorified LSP with snippets. I don't think it was super amazing, but it was helpful with boiler plate sometimes. At the same time,...The most common aspect I see is people saying that programmer assistance AI isn’t useful at all.
When I used Copilot in neovim for a bit, it mostly seemed like a glorified LSP with snippets. I don't think it was super amazing, but it was helpful with boiler plate sometimes. At the same time, I don't think the fact that they're stealing from loads of other peoples' work or that they're using immense amounts of energy and creating emissions are worth that.
Also, that seems like people saying they don't think it's useful for one specific task, i.e. not saying it has "no benefits" at all.

Comment on Homeless people in Copenhagen will no longer face fines or eviction for sleeping in parks or green spaces under a proposal by the city government in ~society
kari LinkSeems fair. I'm so jealous of people who have sane, compassionate people as their elected representatives.While that ban will be lifted, it will remain effective for cemeteries and playgrounds.
Seems fair.
“It’s high time we change these rules. Something as basic as sleeping should never be criminalised in Copenhagen,” [...]
“Copenhagen has committed to protecting the rights of homeless people. This is a step in the right direction. The city must be for everyone, and that includes parks and public spaces,”
I'm so jealous of people who have sane, compassionate people as their elected representatives.

Comment on Where do you all get your news from? How do you work to avoid echo chambers and propaganda? in ~life
kari LinkI don't see why this has to be a botnet. Regardless of the fact that there absolutely are conservatives on Reddit, it makes sense for people to back the candidate who was selected after primaries...I'll always remember before the 2020 US election primaries when all of Reddit was supportive of Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg, while deriding Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren as being centrist career politician dinosaurs, and the second that Biden was chosen as the Democratic nominee the entire site opinion shifted to "Biden is the best candidate and we all support him 100%". And then the moment the election finishes and all the botnets go back into hibernation, it's right back to "should have been Bernie". And that was just the first time I noticed it.
I don't see why this has to be a botnet. Regardless of the fact that there absolutely are conservatives on Reddit, it makes sense for people to back the candidate who was selected after primaries even if it wasn't their first choice. Then, once that less favored candidate is elected, people go back to supporting their actually preferred politics. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Comment on Tip to tip: Crossing Japan with no map in ~hobbies
kari Link ParentI was in Fukuoka for a work thing back in 2023 and pretty much only knew "Arigato Gozaimaisu" and "Sumimasen" and even that was enough for everyone to be super nice.

Fukuoka was a little crazy because, at least wherever I kept going, they hardly spoke English, but I had a fantastic time and can't wait to go back to Japan.

I took AP Art History back in high school and Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog has been my favorite painting since then, so I booked a trip as soon as I heard it’d be in the US. I also saw Book of Mormon which was great.

Comment on What lesser-known alternative would you recommend as a substitute for something more popular? in ~talk
kari Link ParentEven some random produce like tomatoes or apples are occasionally way cheaper at my nearby H-Mart than HEB (my grocery store of choice in Texas)Even some random produce like tomatoes or apples are occasionally way cheaper at my nearby H-Mart than HEB (my grocery store of choice in Texas)

Comment on The end of the draw offer in chess? in ~games.tabletop
kari Link ParentThere still has to be bishops on each color and the right to castle on either side, which leaves 960 unique starting positions (and is why it’s also called chess960).There still has to be bishops on each color and the right to castle on either side, which leaves 960 unique starting positions (and is why it’s also called chess960).

kari LinkWould this require them to either change their tail number or buy a new plane? Like, even if they can hide who owns N628TS, we know that’s Elon’s plane, for example.Would this require them to either change their tail number or buy a new plane?

Yeah, I feel this hard. I play with some lower-rated friends a lot and, when I do, I usually get put in lanes that are either way too hard and I'm the one feeding (because I'm higher ranked than my friends so the enemies in my lane need to be high, too, I guess?) or I end up stomping the other team. Then, on the other hand, I play with some friends who are ranked closer to me and in that scenario it's pretty much the same thing but usually laning is more even (unless people switch and then sometimes I'm still the one feeding...).
