He / They
Given that what these people are being criticized for are not intrinsic traits, those people have the option to change their behavior in order to not be ostracized. I am certainty not under any obligation to give anyone my business.
“What if all the bad people lost their jobs?”
Well, that certainly might encourage them to rethink whether being bad is working out for them.
And yes, I’d say that route sounds to me like it will reduce harm in several ways.
I really like it’s progression of resource tiers, and it’s exploration mechanic that lets you delve into ruins to find artifacts that give you bonuses to town morale.
It also has a nice pseudo-complex farming system, where you can manage the soil composition to favor different crops (or just choose to plant the crops that that area’s default soil lends itself to).
It also has randomized maps, which I like to reload until I find one with an interesting layout.
There is combat, but you can granularly control it, or disable it altogether (there are raiders, and wildlife like bears and wolves).
It feels very laid back, which is my jam.
I bounced off of it, and went back to Farthest Frontier.
I was not a huge fan of the way the villagers are accrued and assigned; it felt like they were trying to emulate Banished, but didn’t execute well on it.
I did love the way you draw housing plots, and the ability to add extensions onto houses that have different bonuses (e.g. a chicken coop that gives eggs).
I think if the city-builder+RTS hybrid aspect is very appealing to you, it’s one of the few out there. If you want a more traditional city builder, check out Farthest Frontier.
It even gets more rich and fizzy towards the end of the year!
I’m sorry, are you suggesting that allowing wealth inequality is the best course of action, simply because it’s more harmonious than combating it?
Uh, as someone who does malware analysis, sandbox detection is not easy, and is certainly not something that a non-malware-developer/analyst knows how to do. This isn’t 2005 where sandboxes are listing their names in the registry/ system config files.
There is leaked Windows source code online… Is that also freeware for me to train an OS-building model on?
Hell yeah! Nothing good comes from their new model, nor the advertiser-friendly focus of SD3. They were good for pushing the open-source ecosystem forward, but clearly their Capitalist masters have come calling, and they’re enshittifying.
As a kid, MGS2 was my favorite. In college, MG: AC!D, and now as an adult, MGS:V.
I think that Kojima has gotten less absurd, but more pretentious, and I’m fine with that; it’s hard to appreciate video games much otherwise.
My favorite boss fights are: Vulcan Raven in MGS1, Fat Man and Metal Gear Ray in MGS 2, and The End in MGS3.
Which is unrelated to their point, which is that visible popularity of a piece of software (e.g. having many downloads in an app store) has a large impact on likelihood of people to trust it.
You feigning ignorance at this just discredits your own position. Their question was essentially rhetorical, and you chose to answer it incorrectly rather than concede their correct point:
If you encountered 2 identical pieces of software, you would trust the one that is more popular, thus proving that popularity is a meaningful benefit to a piece of software.
