- Comment on Europa Universalis V | Review Thread 1 week ago:
I picked up the title. Haven’t gotten a chance to play too much, but it feels much more noon friendly. Automations let you focus more on the parts of the game you want. The tutorial happens during a regular game instead of a separate mode. Performance has also been great on my machine.

I feel we will find out next episode. Surely he will be chosen as a gnosia as he has already experienced being an engineer.

I need to make sure I have my old Affinity installers. I’m sure I won’t be able to activate in a few years because they decide to take down the authentication server.
- Comment on Apple becomes third company in history to crack $4 trillion market value 3 weeks ago:
Even crazier that they are valued at $4T when they haven’t done anything to push the business further, at least not worthy of a 300% increase in stock value.
- Comment on There was no need to ever improve upon THIS 3 weeks ago:
Having auto climate with physical controls is peak. No adjusting dials, your car just gets the internal climate to the temperature you want and that’s it.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Having a first party emulator for older Xbox systems would actually be huge. Even the best Xbox emulator, Xemu, still has issues with some titles. With full access to the original source code, they should be able to produce something better than what is available on other platforms.
- Comment on Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps App 3 weeks ago:
It was forked off if Organic Maps because if a difference of philosophy. Organic Maps wanted to add more proprietary components to their app.
- Comment on Microsoft Pushes Xbox Division to Hit Higher Profit Margins 3 weeks ago:
They are asking the impossible. If they refuse to take any risks on new titles they will not have breakout hits like they are wanting. They have enough studios that you can have some stinker releases that get offset by the surprise hits.

Ya, give me both please.
- Comment on How gamers were nickel and dimed in 80s and 90s (besides arcades) 3 weeks ago:
Yes, it would be 8477. It wasn’t uncommon to see the number only version beside or below the word version. They are mostly there to make it easier to remember the phone number, since having a list of contacts wasn’t nearly as common back then, at least as a kid.

Have to boost those Facebook page visit numbers!
- Comment on Microsoft wants you to talk to your PC and let AI control it 4 weeks ago:
I may have mixed up which one is which. My point was more that if one is to use the old characters for th, they should at least use the correct one for each.

Think and thing should be using eth, not thorn. Different th sounds.
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 1 month ago:
I haven’t subbed to gamepads for years because I knew this would eventually happen. Gamepass was designed to get people used to not purchasing games and instead letting them come to them. Subscribers now have to chose between paying even more each month or losing access to the library of games available to them.
- Comment on Contractor Used Classified CIA Systems as ‘His Own Personal Google’ 1 month ago:
Everyone that has access to sensitive information should know that anything they do can and will be logged. Its usually just a matter of time before you get caught.
- Comment on American Truck Simulator/ Euro Truck Sim coming to consoles 2 months ago:
Not too surprised. They have really improved their controller support over the last few years. I am able to play the game without issue with my HTPC using a controller.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed 3 months ago:
It would be nice if we had both options. Let peoe matchmake for the default experience and let those that prefer custom servers to use those instead. There are problems with using only community hosted servers, such as game rules and less ideal admins.
That behind said, the longetivity that community servers offer is likely the reason they have been scrapped by EA. They want everyone to move to the next title that comes out like what people so with CoD.

Next 3.5 years if we are lucky.
- Comment on Microsoft CFO calls for 'intensity' in an internal memo, after blowout earnings 3 months ago:
That is how it has been for a long time at Microsoft. They know Enterprise is where the money is, it hasn’t stopped them from trying to venture out into other areas tho.
- Comment on The Age-Checked Internet Has Arrived 3 months ago:
They are allowed to chill their own speech. The government does not have the right to restrict speech, at least in the US.
- Comment on Massistant - new tool used by Chinese government to spy on seized phones 3 months ago:
True, but some people may not have a choice because of work or family.
- Comment on Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket 3 months ago:
Unfortunately the other big airlines in the country will do this soon after seeing its success.
- Comment on Massistant - new tool used by Chinese government to spy on seized phones 3 months ago:
Another reason to take a burner instead if you have to travel to China.

Bottom. The spacing/size of the stairs is the biggest clue. If we were at the bottom, it would indicate that the stairs are very tall and not very wide. As others have said, the worn carpet is also an indicator, as the carpet on the side of the stairs would not be worn. It would also likely have something sticking out like most stairs, not just flat.

Maybe they aren’t updating enough which leads to larger issues. Had a problem in the past updating NextCloud too slowly and stuff broke.

McDonalds made money from the deal. They were paid by Taylor to force their franchisees to use their ice cream machines with the extortionist service contract.

I remember using something similar for my GBA. They sucked, but they were better than the alternative of not playing.
- Comment on The Trump Administration is Building a National Citizenship Data System; State and county election officials can now check the citizenship status of their entire voter lists. 4 months ago:
The US is generally the same where some local elections allow non-citizen residents to vote for local issues.
The issue with this is was not created publicly. We don’t know what kind of data is being uses to determine someone’s status. If someone is private enough to not have any data collected by its source, then they could be denied voting rights despite being legally able to vote.
It also could end up bring used as the sole source for verifying someone’s status, despite having documents to prove otherwise.
