Try game. Fall into a basic gameplay loop and repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
Played EVE Online for 8 years (and I never played it right)
Then played World of Warships for 2 or 3 years maybe?
And now Iāve been playing War Thunder for nearly 8 years
Iāve played other things, but I always fall back to my basic gameplay loop of the timeā¦ only one at a timeā¦ for years upon years. Doing the same thing in slightly different ways to acquire some reward. Like doing the same exact thing but in a different set of vehicles.
Itās not very sexy but keeps a company getting money from meā¦

The thing with SF combat ships is that we donāt really know if they will ever exist. War in space will be related to economy in space and that is a far stretch from now.
Navy ships grew larger in order to carry bigger guns which also meant they would be hit harder which meant they got extra armor, but that only worked for a few decades and nowadays neither guns nor armor are a thing in navy ships. āSea dominanceā is not much of a thing neither, compared to āair dominanceā, so, what will the future bring? Probably not combat spaceships.
SF ships make for cool stories, but as reality goes, so far thereās not even a credible reason to even have a spacefaring economy, let alone a reason to fight for āspace dominanceā, prevent an enemy from using space for their economy or against yours.
The cheapest metal is not the one you go and mine from an asteroid, rather the one you donāt use. And if you absolutely and completely must use metalā¦ at one point it might be cheaper to dig them from abandoned landfills rather than go to space and spend the horrendous amount of energy involved in moving through gravity wells. Maybe even just go and gather minerals from seawater might be cheaper than send stuff to space and back, accelerate it all the way to 11 km/s and then back to 0 just to begin withā¦ then even faster to change orbitsā¦ and why? Thereās nothing habitable out there. No place were our survival hasnāt to be pulled out from the jaws of death, continuously and forever.
Iā¦ I wonder whether space will ever be a place for Mankind. Itās there and we look at it, wonderingā¦ but, is the price right?

Right now I am watching MacGyver versus Mythbusters
Who likes both series?

My favourite is always the Myth Busters Mailbag Special where the general public get to send in their myths.

The video is a half truthā¦ as in it is real, but also is a demo of GibberLink protocol, not an actual interaction between two AI agents in the wild.
Also, I wouldnāt trust an AI agent to deal with booking 150 guests on its own, neither as a hotel nor as an agent. Like, not in our universe and this side of stupid, sorry.
There is a reason why dealing with large groups of people is a specialyzed career, and it is the same reason why photographing pets and toddlers is a specialyzed career: the customer is a nightmare to work with even in the best cases, and the best cases are known as miracles you will talk about to your granchildren.

Youtube will suggest the weirdest things. And oh my what things does it bring to my plateā¦
Frankly, Iām not sure the game is even available in the EU but this Kenyan video about Aviatorās situation in Kenya is quite a telling tale.
BTW, 1,000 Kenyan shlling = 6.4 euros

Hmmā¦ 4 minutes in and the guy still hasnāt stopped spewing alt right hatred without ever mentioning anything technical or design wise wrong with the gamesā¦
So, āgo woke and go brokeā? F him and F the orange horse he rode on with this āyou see, you go woke you go brokeā drivel. Itās effin videogames butthole, players arenāt upset at wokeism or not even a black samurai in Japan, they are upset at BAD GAMING with premium price tag disguised as beloved franchises.
When will everyone, left and right, learn that entertainment is about being entertained for your money? Good films are good no matter what, good games are good no matter what. And bad ones are bad, period.
(And then there are opinions)
Yea, thatās YouTube for you, lots of different views not necessarily welcomed by all but I make abstraction and move past the lunacy.
I was more interested in the topic of how some game companies think about gamers - their customers. Apparently most of us live in caves and only come out for an RPG game. Others are so stupid that no matter what excrement is in the box theyāll buy it because itās << insert IP here>>ā¦
I agree. Thereās a lot to be upset and maybe thatās why some recent AAA games flopped last year.
I donāt know. Iām neither on the left or the right. Iām not moved by the lies of corrupt politicians.
