It's also early access, so it will presumably help with it being a bit shallow. There are a surprising amount of things locked behind various mechanics that I'm starting to stumble across. For example, if you're a jerk to people enough your karma score will fall and now you have access to rifle through vending machines looking for loose change or robbing an ATM. I have a feeling there are a lot more of these kinds of things to discover.

Just getting out of the Sims price hell is worth it for me. I've had some good experiences with early access games in the past so I'm reasonably upbeat about what may come down the line.

I would characterize it as "hit or miss". It works great for me on Ubuntu and I can't remember any problems I've had in the last few years anyway. I'm not on Wayland yet, though. I would recommend AMD GPUs to people though myself to avoid them hitting the "miss" part of "hit and miss" phrase.

Preparation for real life, I guess. There's no win condition that I know of :)

I am of the opinion that no one should be vandalizing property that they don't own themselves. Protest, sure (following whatever laws Canada has in place for that), don't buy a Tesla, sure, encourage everyone you've ever met not to buy one, fine, but please respect the right of people who don't want their stuff vandalized.

Also, while dealerships have insurance, doing this just makes the insurance go up for everyone. But that's not my point. People shouldn't vandalize the property of others because they really, really, really x5, don't like Elon.

I'm not an Elon or Trump apologist, I'm just someone fighting on the side of civilized behavior.

I can't believe this is so controversial, but people shouldn't be blamed for buying one even now. It's just a car. If people hate Elon (not a big fan myself), then don't buy one. But respect other people's right to buy what they want and leave their shit alone.

I wish "live and let live" was still a thing. We might not be so polarized if it was.

I put a lot of quarters into Xevious in high school. Way too many.

I’m not saying we should kill them. I’m saying we should use the possibility of that being on the table to make them pay their taxes.

I'm guessing most of them do pay their taxes. There are just lots of loopholes that have been lobbied for by the rich that they are using that their expensive tax accountants find for them. Instead of whacking billionaires, maybe get rid of the tax loopholes that let them pay so much less in taxes as compared to their extreme wealth.

Skyrim and Satisfactory.

Whatever you think about Trump, the person that demanded the other person remove their hat because they didn't like it was in the wrong.

Instead of thinking of it as competition, think of it as people simply reminding others that "all rape is bad" or "all hate crimes are bad".

Now that Satisfactory came out of early access and is now 1.0, I'm starting a new playthrough. I've got 1400+ hours in the game, 30 or so in my new save.

Google Search brought in lots of revenue (comparatively), but in return they became dependent on the whims of a crazy-large tech company that has turned the corner into a full-on IBM-style corporation. I've seen this kind of thing happen with people advertising local businesses on Facebook and then the algorithm killing their income overnight. You have to treat it as a large risk to your business and do everything you can think of to mitigate it. Which maybe they were, I don't know, but I wouldn't want my business to be reliant on the good nature of a huge tech company like Google.
