How did this get normalized?
The average user doesn't know or understand technical details, and don't believe they have any power to change anything
Also capitalism means a small number of assholes make most of the decisions for reasons that benefit them
My hypothesis is people are easily frightened idiots. They don't like change of any sort. It frightens them and then they can't reason about if the change is good or bad long term.
If a place had bike lanes for years the same people who bike-lash would probably oppose removing them.
There should be consequences for trying to pass all these horrible and doomed bills. Unfortunately the people keep voting for the people writing them.
I feel like you could make an argument that "money" is ambiguous here. Bobby has more monetary value, but Amy has more items that are considered money. In a contrived example of like a DND puzzle where you need to put money on a floor tiles to disarm the traps, Amy can disable 30 and bobby only 4
I understood that reference
One of the things that makes open world games and especially Elder Scrolls so successful is the sense of exploration and place
Someone wrote that comment elsewhere and I needed to quote it in order to argue that Bethesda doesn't even do a good job of that. Level scaling really kneecaps it
I have used copilot a couple times to be like "I have this scenario and want to do this. What are my options?". I'd rather have a good Internet search and real people, but that's all shitted up.
The answers from the LLM aren't even consistently good. If I didn't know programming I wouldn't be able to use this information effectively. That's probably why a lot of vibe coding is so bad.
Upvote things I felt like were worth reading. Down vote things I didn't think were worth reading.
Per-encounter resource used are generally better for me, yes.
It's one of my big problems with DND. Almost the whole thing is centered around per-day so there's this constant pressure to avoid actually using anything. Like, you could end the fight with a 3rd level spell, or you could slowly end it without spending any resources. It takes longer to play but is otherwise mechanically superior. Deeply anti-fun for me.
If they were smart they wouldn't be maga. Because they are maga, you can infer they are stupid. Poor reasoning skills. Poor emotional regulation.
I imagine you could do something with chains of trust. You trust yourself. You trust your friend you know in real life. To a lesser extent you trust people he trusts. But then one of them turns out to suck or be a bot, so now you trust your friend less.
Windows isn't fit for software development unless you're doing Windows specific stuff. Maybe you can get by with WSL or cygwyn or similar, but that's just a bandaid to make the machine less windows. You'll probably still have problems with like case folding and line endings.
