Seems like a waste of an attunement slot.

Might be worth the attunement if paired with some other effect. Maybe +1 AC or some other effect.

Even such a low % chance of hit helping, compound on top of that of the % chance you even remembering it should be a miss on that specific roll.

Agreed.

If a city wants to reduce cars on the road, buses/trains/subways yeah that helps a little bit.

But make a dedicated network where it's only pedestrians, bikes and electric vehicles under a certain speed limit. Especially if it's covered in some way,

There a TON of people that would absolutely prefer that over cars

Depends, What kind of programming are you interested in and what do you want to do with it?

  • Low level microcontrollers (PLC's, Robotics, Control systems, ROS, Automation, etc)

  • Higher level systems (Software Engineering, Enterprise Software, Networking, etc)

  • UX programming (Graphical User interfaces, human-machine interfacing, websites, etc)

  • Video Game Programming

  • AI Programming, Machine Learning, Prompt Engineering, maybe Data Processing, Vision systems, Simulations, etc

All depends on what you want to do with your programming. You'll need to narrow down and focus on what you hope to do with it.

What's crazy to me is the Christian Evangelical following.

They believe all that hocus pocus, and yet this dude is the entire embodiment of the Anti-Christ, if such a thing could even exist.

And yet they flock to him.

That's a stupid ignorant analogy. A knife doesn't suddenly lose control and smash into things, or activate when it's not supposed to. Or have the capability to store energy and release it. Engineers are morally and legally obligated to make their products safe to use.

While Epic has been pouring money from Fortnite into Unreal Engine and making significant progress in updating the engine.

Unity has been sitting on its ass for years doing absolutely nothing in the way of R&D.

As a result, Unity is now left behind.

Valve has given up on being an Engine developer.

Epic with the Unreal Engine will have a monopoly soon if it doesn't already.

Anyone attempting to make their own modern game engine these days are way behind the ball. All the big players are switching to Unreal.

And it's not only Game Engine, but movie making engine as well.

The only company I could see that would have the $$$ and talent to compete against Epic for a Graphics Engine would be nVidia.

AMD doesn't have the R&D and Scientists specializing in Graphics/Physics/Rendering/Simulation/InformationLoading like nVidia does.
Valve has the $$$ and talent, but they are focused on hardware now, and are even farther behind than Unity.

Having a single Game Engine monopoly will be bad for all of us in the end.

The only Video Game engine that I could see someone develop that could compete against Unreal, is if the engine was built from the ground up 100% focused on anti-cheat. Libraries that are designed from the start to be multiplayer focused with un-necessary data scrubbed properly from the clients so they can't sniff out data. Something designed to be hack proof.

That game engine, even if not graphically intense would be highly sought after in a wide genre range of games.

I think the idea is that you get more efficient heating out of burning Natural Gas -> Electricity -> Heat Pump than just burning the natural gas for heat.

Even better if you skip the natural gas -> electricity part and use Nuclear/Hydro/Solar/Wind
