I was quite surprised when I first had to handle large amounts of cash. Securely transporting it to and from a bank is quite a hassle, and making sure you always have enough change is as well. Idk about the specific economics of it, but it’s easy to underestimate for those of us who don’t have to deal with it at scale.
It’s for sure a product of its time, but it really doesn’t feel like a 1999 movie. Around that time we had
Matrix has such a stark level of visual and thematic modernity compared to those. Maybe Fight Club comes near, but the other movies look like they’re from a different decade.
Handling cash is expensive and difficult for shops, so it might make sense to not require shops to accept cash.
I guess certain crimes also become harder.
Not sure I support it, but I see that there are points to it.
I still can’t believe The Matrix is from '99. The themes and the effects hold up incredibly well, it feels far more modern.
I think it’s someone lying on their side? Like a sexy lying down pose with a leg and an arm stretched out.
It’s called RockShotgunPaper
Wasn’t he more criticizing the scale? Like, a sith warrior is great, but he can’t really compete with the power of the Death Star when it comes to sheer scale. Just ask Alderaan.
Arguably it is better than mining for coal, lithium, etc. since those have similar issues, but one gram of uranium contains energy similar to 3 tons of coal.
Fairly so - it isn’t emissions, and does not contribute to the problem in a meaningful way.
The reason why emissions are dangerous is because they trap solar heat at large enough scales to change the global climate. Server farm heating isn’t really anywhere near contributing at that scale.
Something like this, perhaps: https://youtu.be/HNMq8XS4LhE?si=XqWX5uZFBWKNbJAb
I found the lines poorly written, the narrators not very convincing, and the whole concept limited and simple. It’s likely that something better comes along further into the game, but it really didn’t pull me in.
It always fascinates me that people can have such different experiences. I’m really happy you found your perfect game, wish I could see it like you see it!
I’m somewhat nostalgic about parts of it. It clearly had a much wider impact on society than the AIDS outbreaks, and many people didn’t end up with anyone close to then dying or with any serious long term effects.
To lots of people it was just a time of staying home and trying to work that out. At least in the parts of the world I was.
I quite liked the vibe, but got frustrated about the artificial progress blocks. If you’re a competent deck builder it’s pretty easy to build a deck that beats the game master, but then you get to a point where he just throws infinite enemies at you and you are forced to lose.
I get it, the gameplay requires you to lose a number of times, but it just turned me off from finishing the game.
Replaying Kingdom Come: Deliverance, but this time no save scumming and on the Steam Deck. It’s really good, but the slight vibe of sexism bugs me.
Also playing the excellent Tactical Breach Wizards.
It’s incredible, feels like such a perfect addition to an already excellent game.
I had a similar experience. I think it was mainly the small combat encounters that dragged out, as well as there being something off about the tone. But it’s hard to put my finger on exactly.
Solid matter physics would be a more straightforward name - it’s just the physics of matter that isn’t liquid or gas, which usually means crystals.
Absolutely, but the morality of said rapist competing at the Olympics a decade later, after having served his sentence and possibly having been rehabilitated is a pretty nuanced subject, wouldn’t you say?
The two that lie in a shape are part of the first “w”
