I think 76 is main series

Their design process is 1/3 old stuff, 1/3 reworked stuff and 1/3 new stuff. The idea is that why should release a new game if it's just the same as the last one. This is actually a problem so often that there is a recurring meme within civ communities every new release

There are 2 types of driller, One that forgets they have c4 And one that friendly fires

Chr prints the unicode symbol associated with the inputted value (in python). The team name uses several operators to have the inputted value be the amogus character

Hopefully it's just a weird name for a new technology they haven't announced yet

If you self host, you could try searxng

I love how it's worded like concord is a beloved game that is shutting down after a decade

According to this blog post, they are currently limited to 10 accounts, so not many open servers, but you can host your own.

This is an old blog post, though, so the limit might have been lifted

https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds

iirc, atprotocol was made to bring some features of mainstream social media to the fediverse that activitypub maintainer have said they won't be adding. They explain other reasons in their faq

It doesn't say there's any limit on their github

In theory, bluesky can federate with other apps but it is currently the only one using their protocol, bluesky servers can federate with each other and when a new project using atprotocol appears it will probably be able to federate with that

But civ (and rockstar) are take two's money printers, even executives know not to fuck this series up (hopefully)

All worked fine in the PTU just before LIVE release as well

I'd hope it's carefulness but it doesn't seem like it. Facebook should want to destroy fediverse instances (from a business point of view), they are supposed to be a monopoly and the fediverse is their biggest competitor.

I think this is what makes the game seem less shit to me. I didn't back the game because I wanted Chris Roberts' fever dream to become a reality, I backed the game because I wanted to play the alpha. I know this thought process won't help original backers since they basically just pre orded the finished product and didn't want this buggy mess, but knowing I was paying for a buggy alpha before even getting the game seems to have made it a lot more enjoyable for me.

I have also been very lucky with the bugs this patch. The only severe bug I've encountered is the new hauling missions not working. I know that Orison hangars are bugged as well, because I was ferrying people up to sepharim in my aurora lol.

Tumblr's backend has been passed between several companies* for several decades, it's a miracle it still works and can be updated

*some of which don't even know what tumblr is

It took around a year for a solo dev (and a couple contributors) to develop a fully federated platform. Why is it taking one of the largest companies on the planet this long to make such tiny changes that are useless anyway.

And why are they releasing it like this instead of releasing everything at once?

It's the same as civ 6. Having a 2k account gave an extra leader for Rome, all leaders have unique abilities, it's not just cosmetic.

It is probably moddable as custom leaders were possible in civ 6

It's probably to make cross-platform easier (since it's releasing same day on all platforms)

Coincidentally, ksp also uses the 2k launcher as it was published* by a take two label, private division (rip)

*after they bought the ip

There's also an .exe you could use if you're on windows

I have 2 ways to make long trips like this better:

1. Pick a destination and every day, choose a close poi listed on gec that is in the direction of your destination

2. Go to https://www.edsm.net/en/expeditions and look for an expedition that hasn't started yet (most of these will need you to join a discord) or join the PTN discord (of booze cruise fame) as they do smaller expeditions occasionally

I reset my progress at the end of 2023 and have been playing semi regularly since then

Yes

My guess is because it's unicode. But that doesn't really matter. How often are you going to want to put the icon instead of just typing the fediverse

I'll give a summary of all non spoiler stuff in the video that I remember:

• The entire story from ea is being retconned including: all characters apart from ada and the pioneer, the information we have been told about fiscit and why we are on the planet and other stuff as well

• All ada lines are being redone

• Mercer Spheres and Sommersloops are being given a purpose

And probably more that I have forgotten.

All the story stuff in the video is just world building and would probably be revealed to you in the first few minutes of gameplay, so I would watch the video anyway to get things that I forgot and to understand the basic story like why the pioneer is there and what fiscit's apparent goals are.

My keyboard autocorrected this into thus once

I'm using the default samsung one, don't know the name

I couldn't find one in my 10 second search. I think most are made for personal use.

Closed playtests are usually with very in-development builds. People post the barely functioning game to social media and the game gets bad press. Release day rolls around and no one buys it because "that was that one game that looked bad a while ago"

This seems like a stupid train of thought but a lot of people think like this

I will kill the next ascii cat I need to rate helpful to pet

I use it as well. People hating it completely is weird. I get that for profit is stinky but most people don't complain about that, they complain about it using a different protocol. As long as it is foss, (which it is) using a different protocol is fine, especially because their whole point of developing their own protocol is to achieve feature parity with Twitter

Edit: before anyone mentions, you can host your own bluesky instance now

You can look at the app list on join-lemmy.org. Ignore the big scary warnings on there about non foss apps unless you want a foss app. Most of the proprietary apps are just made by hobbyists who don't want the world to see their spaghetti code.

I also use boost, everything about it seems to work apart from spoiler tags (think because the app still uses reddit's format instead of lemmy's).
