Truly a massive game that gets overshadowed by people talking about Factorio, which Factorio is of course a classic undoubtedly but Mindustry has been in pretty consistent development for years now and is a great game with a lot of good content, it deserves more attention!

I just wish the game was better set up for joysticks/gamepad control out of the box, last time I tried to set it up on my Steam Deck I got frustrated.

Also Mindustry is on Android too!

Unturned is still in development too which is pretty cool, I think it occupies a unique niche and is underrated for sure.

Admit it, we all die in some small way every time we use a computer, why not seek glory in it?

This is a good thing honestly, fuck Spotify it ruined music as much as any single company/service could.

Literacy

Honestly probably the most universally recognizable save symbol in the end, certainly if I had to go back in time and establish contact with an ancient people and teach them Intuit Quickbooks or other tax accounting software to run a cutthroat tax accounting operation using timetravel to access low cost labor that would be the icon I would choose for saving.

What about Valhala tho? Kinda seems like superior religious imagery to me.

What would the symbol be for that function then?

What? Not a Maple Syrup Spile?

I think it is honestly really pathetic that so many of you claim to love language and yet what you really love is having a rigid form of interaction that you can shame people for not perfectly following or reacting intuitively to.

Language is ALWAYS a negotiation, if you dismiss people that interpret your sentences without a period as passive-aggressive, YOU are the one that loses because you have undermined the basic premise of communicating with others in favor of the comforting idea that there are a perfect set of unchanging abstract rules that can be applied to communication that delineate a “correct” way to do things.

There are no rules to language, language is not decided by a committee, language is a living breathing thing that does not give a fuck about your condescending attempt to lock it in stone and direct it towards being used as a tool to shame others with.

You don’t get to decide what people react to and don’t react to in your language.

Actually no, if you come off like an asshole that is by definition a you problem :)

Can’t wait to impress someone by jumping over it in one clear hop.

(than at some point in the past)

No, than the previous adjacent moments in past, not some random arbitrary point selected so far back in time that our lives would look radically different and the comparison between the two points becomes dubiously relevant.

I think you should continue to post comments and let everybody decide on them collectively, why would I want you to silence yourself on this particular topic? If you didn’t make this type of comment someone else would have and this branch of the conversation would likely have happened anyways. Now it has and people can upvote/downvote to reflect how they feel. I don’t know about you but I still read downvoted comments? I am a curious person and there are many like me!

Why would I not downvote a comment I consider missed the essential point on something I am passionate about and feel materially impacts us all?

No but the future that was possible for the older people around me in my country is gone and global collapse is accelerating, things are getting worse… what the hell does 1925, 1825 or 1725 got to do with it?

Not necessarily or exclusively? I am talking about tools like this…

edit sorry feeling a bit oversensitive this morning I guess

facepalm have you tried looking up at the real world around you recently?

like how people use custom terrain generating tools to spruce up multiplayer Minecraft maps!

That attention span exists as a relevant concept and that people are ruining it with technology.

If our attentiveness is struggling it is undoubtedly because life is harder and crueler these days.

Our attention, if we are being treated humanely and sustainability by the societal conditions around us, is fine (we aren’t though, this being the issue).

edit Same thing with all the “kids these days” things about kids not being able to focus, being a kid these days has got to feel hopeless in a million ways that are too crushing to focus on not the least of which are the adults around you condescending your fears of the future even as they destroy it.
