  If you generalize the term “civilization” to be any sufficiently large group of people who have some sense of shared purpose or identity you could include gaming communities or even forums too

  Things usually don’t just explode all at once though ofc sometimes there is abrupt change that causes a community to decay rapidly

  Ah hell yeah. That’s really the only change I wanted as a kid tbh

  I hope they kept all the realy bad voice lines from the original. It was part of the charm

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow that was one of my favorite parts about Oblivion. You could break it so easily

  I had a wizard who was maxed out in basically ever skill except the magic skills so when I finally did the mages guild quest line I was face tanking everything

  I was so over powered I started breaking the enchantment system bc I had done every important quest and could afford anything (100% chameleon was hilarious)

  And let’s not forget that jumping off mountains to level up is clearly the best mechanic of all time

  Maybe I’ll skip this one if they removed the good jank

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT spends 'tens of millions of dollars' on people saying 'please' and 'thank you', but Sam Altman says it's worth it⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly they were better until recently. GPT (at least) has gotten really good at de-escalation and providing (mostly) factual responses when you get irate

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google has illegal advertising monopoly, judge rules⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  the article is talking about how they could have a booming ad business but at present have little to none

  The Cupertino tech giant is not an advertising company, however. Chatterjee notes that Apple’s decision to only show a single Search Ad in its App Store could limit the revenue opportunity relative to his prior expectations.

  GitHub has slowly become an advertising platform for repos more than anything. I miss what it was just a couple of years ago. It did exactly what you needed when you needed it. Now it’s just so bloated

  So a lot of people have pointed out the obvious factors like experience, time, and money. But I think a another big one is the culture. A lot of FOSS has been impenetrable ime with how many keyboard warriors exist in discord and forum communities. Doesn’t exactly make the newbie experience the best
