Yeah, there was another account, cosmicpancake, doing the same thing earlier in the day. I didn’t realize they were not the same account, so I overestimated the age even tho the account page said it was an hour old when I looked at it. Figured it was a federation bug.
Having seen an absolute gob of these comments, I’m inclined to agree. They all read largely the same way, there’s an awful lot of comments for being a 1 day account (easily rivaling some of the most prolific humans we’ve had), some of them make very little sense, and they are all top level with very very very few replies to anyone, but they still address other commenters in their top level comment which is super weird. They also only seem to comment on images. Or at least I haven’t seen any that didn’t.
There was another account, cosmicpancake, that was basically the same. I didn’t realize they were not the same account. That one was purged.
Haha, that’s a fair point.
I’d have to actually like the game and have been sucked into it to want to spend days and days finding mods that sound like good additions, or address frustrations with vanilla mechanics, and then bash my head against the wall trying to figure out the error logs and why the map didn’t spawn anything this time (I don’t have a tech background, I learn tech on the fly to do specific things, so troubleshooting is a big challenge). Like I have over a thousand rimworld mods I individually, manually, downloaded (I don’t use steam but I found a site that rips mods from steam). I’m currently running about 650 of them, but I had over 100 hours in before I even looked at mods, and it started with running out of storage and having to dedicate half my map to storage space, because I HOARD STUFF and 3 stacks per tile with vanilla shelves is just not enough space. You never know when you’ll need 167 elephant tusks. Oh they are vendor trash that can be used as a shitty improvised weapon and that’s it? Well I found that out after about a month.
I just know factorio would hit my frustration buttons quicker than my obsession buttons because I can’t even bring myself to do the fairly simple automation in rimworld because it’s too finicky and I have to learn stuff and figure out where to lay pipes and shit, so I’d struggle to hit the “let’s find mods to make this game even more overwhelming” stage.
But now I’m even more jealous, if there’s a vibrant modding community and all…
Non-paywalled link cuz I wanted to read it
What’s a paradox game? I assume that’s some sort of studio?
I wish I liked games like factorio.
I love base building stuff (rimworld is my current obsession, tho I almost like making my heavily modded game function properly more than actually playing it) but automation is just too many moving parts, and too much planing and I can’t bring myself to do any of it right.
If not for that it would probably be entirely my jam. I get downright jealous when I see some of the amazing stuff people do.
I mean I used to wear sunglasses at work at my desk because everything in the office was just too damned bright. Same with a restaurant job for about 2 hours of sunset when the light streamed in the windows.
Who cares what people think? Protect your eyes and do whatever you like when entering a store. As long as you can see fine, it doesn’t matter.
Imagine being a doctor telling a couple their fetus died because of a sonic hedgehog gene mutation, tho. (This does happen)
Like, it won’t matter in another few hundred years, but culture is difficult right now.
Makes me wonder if the romans did meme shit like that. They graffiti shitposted and whatever so…
Luckily nobody asks me what I would name shit because my pets are testament to my complete lack of creativity. 😊
I mean I’m sure that’s the logic or something but…
Man it just feels wrong. Like the sonic hedgehog gene feels wrong. You know?
I thought for sure, for sure this was bullshit. For sure Linux doesn’t have a touch command. What could it possibly do.?
Changing timestamps and creating empty files…
Of course, that makes so much sense. 🤔
I mean it’s literally shrinking over time… deteriorating. It will very likely eventually become useless, and die out.
I guess you can call that evolution if you want… it’s certainly a selection pressure, anyway.

The Y chromosome is also deteriorating over time as it gets passed down with errors and doesn’t have a backup copy nor relevant genes to swap with, and men have less robust immune systems (iirc partially because of testosterone). So that’s fun.
I had a similar training selling stuff for a remodeling company.
I quit on the second day of training. It felt gross, and I told them I was really uncomfortable with their tactics and that’s 100% why I was quitting…
I also don’t watch tv and go out of my way to avoid ads :) pihole on the network, Plex and physical media for media needs.
This must be how Oscar Meyer wienermobiles are made. I mean I don’t see a buncar anywhere, but all the same.
I’d rather not have robot bees. I’ve seen hated in the nation (black mirror episode).

I think I might be going on a quest in middle earth…
I’ve only used genAI once, to re-write my resume. (And I played with image generation to sort of see what it can do and be a muse for me because I’m aphantasic, but I was wiiiiiildly disappointed.)
It spit out something less good than what I fed into it, hallucinated a ton of skills and experience I don’t have, and it looked like AI slop when it was done. So a lose-lose.
Might be good for people who don’t know things or who can’t write for shit (so your average first year college student, IME) but… honestly it’s garbage if you aren’t average or below already. So I’m not surprised it’s ruining people’s ability to function.
Ai is a tool for dumb people (sorry. not sorry.) to land good jobs that dumb people shouldn’t hold or be hiring for, and that’s about it.
When I was a kid and would send very stuffed letters, we just left a dollar paper clipped to it, they would leave the change the next day for heavier stuff.
When I was even younger I used to leave flowers in the mailbox for the mail person, and they got me a little flower statue for xmas and left it in the mailbox for me. That’s a memory I haven’t thought of in a long time so that was pleasant :)
Better yet, use some thin sliced ham wrapped around cheese and whatever red sauce (bbq, ketchup, marinara, whatever) to create a gooey cavity in the middle…
The illusion of choice is even more illusory than it seems.
Even if there was real choice inherent in the systems themselves, most people have limited ability to take advantage of said choice without completely starting over, usually with damn near nothing.
What I mean is most people aren’t wealthy, they don’t have in-demand skills, they don’t have family abroad, they can’t get sponsors to other countries. That means they are effectively stuck wherever they are, until something so bad happens they have to abandon their lives and flee.
