I always rate my games on price per hour played, rather than just total cost.

Factorio is one of my cheapest games ever.

If you enjoyed the base game, you’ll like the expansion. It’s a lot more content with tons of new things to deal with and optimize.

I’m almost 60 hours into factorio’s space age expansion that just came out out 10 days ago. However I have over 2500 hours in the base game.

That being said, factorio is notorious for never once having gone on sale.

The only other game I play launch day for is path of exile expansions.

Everything else I buy later on sale.

Everyone should get off X, I stopped using it the moment that Muskrat bought it. It wasn’t great before, but it’s turned into an absolute dumpster fire now.

Path of Exile new league drops on Friday, so I’m practicing and theory crafting ahead of that.

Can we stop calling them “strikes on a school” when it’s not being used as a school.

You wouldn’t call it a “strike on an empty field” if people were camped there, just because that’s what it was previously.

Just call them what they actually are, strikes on shelters.

LLMs

For example if I need to generate a long formula for excel or power apps, I could write it myself or I can just tell the LLM the parameters and it will do it in 1/10th of time.

If I need to create course material, I can shove in bullet points for my key topics and have it expand it into a first draft for me. This concept I actually use a lot more than just for course material. It’s great at generating drafts of everything from statements of work and quotes to presentations (Co-Pilot in 365)

I know how to do the job without it, so hallucinations are easily caught and cleaned up. It’s a tool to speed me up, not replace me.

Business process automation. I use it for everything from communications to programming.

I automate office processes, improving productivity. So literally the opposite of a bullshit job.

If it’s so useless, why am I using it all the time for my job to speed up my work?

If you look at the demographics of Gaza, that may not be as far off as you think. The median age for the whole area is only 19, and there is proof Hamas is recruiting as young as 12.

I find it suspicious that they don’t say how many of the 90 casualties are children and seem to imply that it’s not the majority.

If it was actually a school, you’d expect it to be 80+ children.

If they manage to hit 90 people at a school and say 60 of them were adults, then it was definitely Hamas using children as human shields again.

I suspect it’s the later, but id love to see the actual numbers.

Edit: I found more info, the school wasn’t being used as a school at all. It had been turned into a shelter a while ago. So the fact that the article is talking about the destruction of education is just patently false.

Yup, the factorio devs have earned the trust required.

Still considered a laptop, they have low power modes for unplugged use.

The only problem I have with this is that USB-C PD can only go to 240w, which is fine for most laptops but my current gaming laptop has a 240w power brick and it only has a 3060 in it. The 3080 and 3090 variants had 300w+ bricks IIRC.

I don’t live in India, but I hope gaming laptops get some sort of exception if their power draw can exceed the specification limits.

I’m going to be the odd one out on this.

I prefer ultra customized recommendations, I wish they were even smarter. Especially if I’ve already bought something, I want them to know so they stop advertising that product to me.

I’d rather see ads for products that I may actually buy rather than for shit I don’t have the slightest interest in.

I rarely buy products without significant research, so ads aren’t likely to trick me into buying something of poor quality. I just need to have awareness of things I don’t even know exist.

I don’t see that as insane at all. Why should I put anyone else’s lives above my own children?

How many people would you be willing to let the military kill to rescue your child who had been taken hostage?

My answer is “anyone who gets in the way”
