A few extra meters wouldn’t be too drastic. From the top of Everest the horizon is about 300km away.

For future reference, you can update LG TVs via USB so you can avoid connecting it to a network.

Oh, you get soda directly plumbed into your house?

If your tap doesn’t work, large refillable bottles. In the US, there are services that deliver them and some grocery stores offer it.

Considering the entire 200+ years, the US is considerably less evil. Is there room for improvement? Yes.

Aspartame has about the same amount of calories as sugar (4kcal per gram). But it’s much more sweet so you need very little of it. So there is a very tiny amount of sweetener which does contain calories but it’s rounded down to 0.

Any Paradox game. Oxygen Not Included. Factorio. Civilization. Rimworld. Dwarf Fortress. The list goes on.

For me I think it’s about having non-stop and parallel mini problems/puzzles/goals. By the time one task is finished. There’s two more to take its place.

That doesn’t make sense depending on the context. New I2C standard switched to controller/target for example. This conveys that one device is controlling the other devices.

It does work for most games. MPV player supports it as well. It’s still rough around the edges, but it’s definitely there.

Comparing prices directly like this is almost irrelevant imo. And doesn't really dictate what the price of games should be.

Reasons old games should be pricier:

• Hardware involved (cartridges/electronics).
• Total number of customers were smaller, you have to subsidize development with less total sales.

Reasons why new games should be pricier:

• Development has inflated to hundreds of people and multiple years (instead of dozens of people and multiple months)

But at the end of the day, business just price what the market will bear. It's only indirectly related to the cost of production. The margins on some games are insanely high compared to others.

I do this for LAN parties. Easier to fly with a steam deck and portable monitor than my desktop. I'm not looking to buy a gaming laptop just for LANs.

As far as I know, it's mainly games with DRM that might trigger on multiple installs/computers. So companies will disable family sharing. Not sure how common this is.

I bought it after waiting for the server issues to resolve.

Not surprising since they literally made a game for recruiting in 2002. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/America's_Army

To their credit, they released a tool to patch the bios yourself. Which is about all they can do in case they stop existing. https://github.com/DeckHD/BiosMaker

I like the game, but it doesn't take advantage of the Steam Deck's touch pads at all. A hybrid mouse/controller scheme would work very well for this type of game. And atm you can't even make a custom hybrid control scheme because switching between m/kb and controller is bugged.

Throwing UTC everywhere doesn't solve comparisons around leap seconds. I'm sure they're other issues with this method, but this is kinda the point of "just use a library". Then it's someone else's problem.

Pretty sure the tooltip specifically mentions students tho. So it doesn't seem like it's working as intended. But ya I'll just throw them in the shitty parts of town.

Yes maybe. It just felt weird cause my entire city was fine with rent except specifically the low income housing. It might be because I placed it next to a college, but isn't that kind of the point since the game says students want low income housing.

Performance out of the box was pretty terrible for me. But after a few tweaks the performance is okay. Running 4K with mostly high settings.

On the game side, I think they have a lot of improvements mechanically. I think my biggest gripes come from the lackluster animations and details in the game. For example, every building has a large crane during construction, even tiny suburban homes. The radio loops the same talk-show audio between songs. They need more variety or make just have a cooldown on playing certain clips.

Also there's a few bugs and weird issues. Some businesses don't have a road connection (even tho their neighbors do), destroying the building doesn't fix it. My low income housing complains about rent costs constantly? What was the point of the low income housing.

Still a good game, just half baked.
