Just look at the military decisions Hitler made, that was luckily an incompetent guy thinking he’s smarter than everyone else. That rings a bell, doesn’t it?

In the long run, making less stupid decisions wouldn’t most likely have changed the outcome, but even more people would likely have died (and unfortunately the people executing the murder of the Jews weren’t as incompetent as their glorious leader).

I played Humankind as well, but I like the execution in Civ better (despite the bugs and unfinished ui). Butt yes, the idea want original at all.

If you have never played Civ before it would be a good time to start with Civ 5 or maybe even Civ 3. They are cheap and quite polished.

In my opinion (having played Civ since the first game, yes I’m old), Civ 7 is quite ok in it’s foundations, but it’s clearly released too early and like the other parts before it’s mainly a game about optimizing numbers, not so much about strategy.

Biggest turn off for me is the introduction of “rogue like” mechanics that give you to play certain characters and nations in a certain way to access others. Why would I want to have that crap in a strategy game?

A phone reacting to “ok Google” or the equivalent for the other assistants already requires to listen to what you’re saying - doesn’t seem to affect battery life all that much.

They give you the stash space that you bought for PoE1 in PoE2 as well - I would never have expected that. And the money you spend for the EA gives you some ingame stuff and currency too. Quite fair, imo.

After driving my current car with Android Automotive for over 45.000 km I can only advice to stay away from vehicles using it

Android Auto (with the car working as a display for your phone) is really nice. AA OS is not.

Funnily I saw the playthrough of your game in YouTube and it really looks like a labour of love. As the guy who did the playthrough suggested, still need to buy it as a thank you.

Or is that another game with a red button? The maker of the game I’m thinking about wrote a comment on YouTube

He basically forgot about the winner, has to be reminded and years later the guy received something that was way off from what was promised.

You can find a much better and more accurate description by searching, but maybe that’s good enough.

That cop has a tattoo that’s considered a recognition symbol of right extremists on his arm and was still hired several times.

I guess the damage is done and once there is an actual smart guy without conscience and morals it’ll get really ugly for democracy in the US.

The main problem with all the alternatives is for me (as a hobby photographer) the lack of models on these platforms. When looking for models, I find them on Instagram and no other platform. As with WhatsApp the majority of “normal” people have decided to use that, so if I’m telling them to contact me on Signal, they shy away from that (and stillI I refuse to use it as much as possible).

So looking at Signal, it’s free and very, very close to WhatsApp and yet still people don’t want to use that. Getting them to use pixel fed would be much, much harder.
