Also, you lose less stamina as you level up. Better tools and food make energy irrelevant. Early game, you start from scratch and it gets easier over time. You get sprinklers etc. No more watering.

It’s a farming game. Farming is a big part of it. Expecting not to farm in a farming game is a little misplaced as an expectation.

I love Rimworld and Stardew, but they’re different. Rimworld is a strategy game in which you strategically plan and the NPCs run their lives until you take control of them.

You can respect a game and not enjoy it. Games are art and taste is important. I hate first person shooters for example. Don’t force yourself of you don’t want to, but expectation and comparison are thief’s of joy. If you want to enjoy something, don’t expect, just play and let it guide you and choose which parts of the mechanics you enjoy interacting with more.

I’m in the UK also. I care about this though.

How can you infringe on a patent that doesn’t exist when you’re writing the code?hopefully Palworld can afford the lawyers to kill this off now.

And you think US government and 5 eyes countries won’t have access? What happens when that elaborate detailed profile data of yours gets hacked?

You are free to choose at any point where you draw the line.

Chromium fork. Chromium code, Google defining compatibility standards. Firefox (or it’s forks) is the only real alternative.

Best to just lead with the facts. “Due to having issues with x, y and z, I went to the doctor. After further investigation it has been confirmed as stage 2 xxxxxx cancer. I’m still trying to understand more about it.”

As another poster said, give them time to emotionally process this. They care about you so are naturally going to be affected and that is fine. Doing this in person is preferable.

Sorry to hear this.

Stage 2 means it is still localised, right? It may have been found in time and is treatable.

I don’t know about your uncles cancer or what stage it was but not all cancers are the same and some are very treatable. In one type of cancer, survival after 5 years is 99% for stage 1, 95% for stage 2, 50-6i% for stage 3 etc. Stage 2 can be a very winnable battle. Even stage 3 can be a worthwhile battle.

You may be avoiding a very winnable battle in which you can have a long and enjoyable life after some short term discomfort. Some cancers can he treated in a localised manner with radiotherapy rather than chemo.

I implore you to verify what the treatment options are and success rates before making a hasty and final decision.

A relative of mine came back from stage 2 doing pretty well and is pretty happy after a year of treatment. Some of it obviously a little challengeing, but they have no regrets.

Gosh. Bob Dylan is hard work even after eating and drinking. I guess folk like to prove they can handle suffering.

Which bit? NHS? Fire service? Police? Pensions?

I tend to only follow Indie games. Have no interest in micro transactions, first person shooters, or watching rather than playing games. There is very little in the AAA sphere that interests me.

Not heard of the first one.

Which Star Wars game release was trash with horrific performance issues?

It’s a shame they didn’t consider moving the LF foundation to Europe or something. If the choice is kick out contributors to support sanctions or operate without political pressure, the second is far better.

I cannot stand Putin or Russia’s action, but punishing individual contributors just trying to write code and build Linux isn’t helpful.

Unless evidence is found of malicious commits, it is pretty harsh on those caught up with this.

Let’s remember that many Russians will probably be locked up and/or killed for coming out against Putin. Punishing them achieves nothing.

Regardless of content. I learned a long time ago that only unhappyness can come from paying for games by EA.

Though all AAA should come with a “may cause irritation” label.

Indie games are king and that is where my money goes.

A business easily offers a 40% discount. You didn’t critically assess that, ask how, and give off vibes it was a charitable and Intel was ungrateful. TMSC while an interesting business is still a big corp with profitability at heart.

Even if Intel aren’t the good guys, you cannot assume TMSC is. I like AMD, but I’m under no illusion they could throw consumers under the bus tomorrow for self interest. Right now, it’s king for Linux hardware though.

They have a big market share and can improve margins with big state subsidies and firing people. Bug corps always fine. Workers are the ones that suffer.

Don’t crack out the violins for Intel just yet. The reporting is hyperbole, and if you can’t digest the facts through the sensationalism. A media break might be a good plan.

The key word is temporarily. How long ago was this?

Calling people dumb then throwing a weak argument doesn’t make it stronger.

They’re on wafer thin margins with vendor lock in. The strategy was not successful.

If you can offer a 40% discount and still make profit, your prices are probably 3 times the cost.

If you cannot go to another supplier, you have vendor lock in.

I’m an AMD guy, so I got no skin in the game defending Intel, but if you’re shilling this much for TSMC, you aren’t really bringing an unbiased opinion.

Who possibly saw that if you kill your manufacturing and buy from a company with monopoly power, they could write there own profits.

Sometimes big companies are really dumb.

Actually not, with the job cuts the other day, share price rose.
