Sir, We Have an Orc Problem

[Edit] looks like the devs kind of gave up on it. This new game might be better

Long article blowing something minor out of proportion and then they throw in “if I were to be cynical”

Buddy, everything you wrote reeks of cynicism. You’re demonizing them for using an LLM to track down a bug that even the Unity developers couldn’t figure out. They didn’t say “build a game and make it fun”

Can’t believe I’m defending Rockstar here but…

…it’s been in development for over a decade. How would they have planned around this recent surge in prices

RPS truly has some of the worst headlines in all of gaming lol

I don’t have the historical knowledge to comment on Atatürk as a figure, but I will reiterate that Paradox’s desire to avoid “taking a position” on history while designing historical sandbox role-play simulators is, at best, very flawed.

The author is implying it’s hypocritical of them but how are these two things in conflict? I haven’t played it, does the game have an obvious political bias?

I can’t see how drawing a line after 1800 will end the discussion around the usage of unofficial images of “controversial” figures, though I’m interested to know how they arrived at that particular date. Anyway, I’d like to read your thoughts.

It won’t but discord mods (famously stable people) don’t have to use personal judgement on a shitton of decisions if there’s a clear rule in place. And it’ll sure as hell cut down on arguments stemming from a user’s questionable choice of profile picture.

Paradox fucked up in the first place but this article feels like it’s looking for stuff to get mad at

Brutal! There’s so many DIY projects I’m willing to tackle but that is definitely not one of them

Oh the joys of homeownership lol

Pretty sure my foundation is sinking and I’m just not prepared to deal with it. Hopefully it holds for another year

I take it the frame is busted? If not you might be able to just adjust the hinges. I was amazed when I learned how many door problems can be fixed by shimming and carefully smacking the hinges

Great point. The deadbolt should move with no external Resistance.

Sound is a good indicator. The motor doesn’t just “get bad” over time like that unless it’s struggling so if it’s louder than when you got it, reassess the installation

Hey I haven’t used this model specifically but a PSA to anyone with a motorized lock:

If your battery is dying seemingly too fast (and it’s not an old battery), your deadbolt is probably misaligned. The friction takes a huge toll on the motor and battery life. They should last MONTHS at minimum.

Lol, I think that might be a coincidence. I would think anything beneficial would be counteracted by the salt but I’m not scientist

Nothing good comes out of Hollywood the game industry because I only pay attention to the crappy releases!

I somehow missed this, sorry!

I had 4 in water when I posted this and 3 wilted away. The last one sprung a decent root almost overnight and now it’s doing fine back in the soil.

I’m really wondering if it’s just the genes in this specific plant. I’ve been thinking about getting a “mystery box” of rooted cuttings from some established Etsy shop and those usually include adansonii so I’ll give it a try if it does

Another thing I haven’t tried: rooting while still connected to the mother plant. I might try draping a vine or two over a pot on a lower shelf

That sounds like my standard method! Sitting right next to the parent so I know it loved the conditions. I’m even struggling at my “prop station” with grow lights.

I feel like I could throw cuttings from any other monsteras on the floor and they’d somehow find a way to root so I’m starting to wonder if this plant is just an outlier.

Yep, I’ve got my special plant cutters that I keep clean with alcohol! They aren’t rotting away, they wither away before ever making a root.

I skimmed the page (will read it later) and saw a few tips I haven’t seen. I haven’t been bagging it and I haven’t tried laying it down flat on the soil!

I’m so tired of hearing about this game

I like Kill This Plant on YouTube for beginner content
