Facebook is only useful for the ancillary stuff. The main page and status updates have been monetized and engagement hacked to death.

Regular reminder that rules against politics are just rules against questioning the status quo.

It’s a great heads up that something is a longform piece and will have a couple interesting paragraphs followed by 10s of garbage ones that are nothing, then a couple useful points, then more garbage.

It’s a little scammy to call it 2.2 and require new cables for functionality. That should be a 3.0 thing.

You can’t play fortnite directly on a steam deck, only stream it from somewhere else.

It’s been a while since I played but from what I remember build/train/upgrade command each had a second page you had to tab to, so some things took 3 buttons instead of 2. This felt really awkward instead of having dedicated basic/advanced buttons.

I think the second level in immortal makes it less intuitive.

The ultimate casual RTS is a moba.

If they pull off what they are promising, it could be interesting, but it doesn’t look like that will happen.

At best it did a good job with the quick macro system. It’s a good way to allow players to have better macro without hurting the skill ceiling for pros.

Even as an RTS fan, I’m starting to think the genre is dead. AOE 3 actually had some nice updates to the genre, they abandoned most of it though. Sc2 improved on the DoW2 campaign, but it’s been nothing since.

Part of the problem is the focus on competitive formats. Pretty much everyone admits it’s the least popular format, but it also gets the most attention. Campaign, comp stomps, and co-op are by far the most popular formats, but they get little or no support. Part of it is the pressure to release so early, and competitive is just easier to focus on while fleshing out mechanics and factions. Another problem is listening to pro players of other games, they don’t know shit about making a good game, they know what they like about an existing game and want that as much as possible.

Another big problem is focusing on players of well established games. The people still playing ladder on SC2 or AOE2 aren’t moving anywhere, there’s probably 20x players that have stopped with those games that would love something new. Instead all that gets released are shallow copies trying to get players to move off a game they’ve played for a decade.

Approximately 90% of not liable for X signs have no legal basis. It’s purely a deterrent.

Nuclear could take over existing coal plants which would allow use of otherwise unusable land that’s been polluted by coal. It would require regulatory changes though, as the coal plant is already irradiated beyond allowed levels for nuclear.

Through the magic of the US government, more money actually can fuck them over. If they have more money than the government seems appropriate, they lose benefits and can be forced to pay back past benefits.

This is something that needs to be more common. Estate planning shouldn’t be a surprise for the survivors, dramatic will readings are a B movie plot device, not reality. You don’t need to do an annual reading of the will, but everyone should know the basics that’s involved.

Less than you would think, but it also depends on how you contact them. A physical call is way more powerful than an email. 10 people passionate enough to call can easily translate to 1k people passionate enough to vote about it.

Id probably slide the TV stand closer to that outlet. You can at least attempt to hide wires.
