Sorry, my original comment is a bit accusatory. I did not mean to say you (specifically) are the problem. I intended to say that more level-headed Christians are not what you see portrayed in media because it’s the absolute psychos that are in positions of power, so that’s what you (general) see in the media.

Persecution complex

I would never claim to be persecuted, but you specifically seem to paint with a broad brush.

Where are the outraged Christians trying to take their religion back?

There is nothing to “take back.” True followers of Christ see through these extremists in government as easily as they see through a some snake-worshipping Christian cult. Christians have always known there will be many that will pervert the truth, so they are not surprised. The problem is people like you just assume they are sitting around endorsing this behavior the media makes it seem all Chritians endorse this behavior, but the challenge is the same as always: true Christians do not have the wealth and power to control political/religious messaging around the world. It kind of goes against some key points in their theology.

I suppose it depends on your definition of open world, but areas are basically only connected through the hub world, i.e. the castle area. There is virtually nothing to do in the world other than fight the colossi. It’s a great game, and certainly influential in its own right. However for better or for worse, I don’t really think it fits the mold of a modern open world game, and that’s specifically what BotW reimagined.

I mean, the similarities kind of begin and end with a character that can climb, use a sword, and ride a horse. SotC isn’t even open-world.

come up with regurgitate the best one-liner

You give two weeks so you leave on good terms, not because you have to. Have you never needed a referral for a job?

They’re not. Even though I really enjoyed living in the Bay Area, I’m not blind to how dystopian it can feel. Just hang in the Tenderloin. Or if you really want something eye-opening, shoot on over to Oakland. The area is still great, but it’s a poor value when you consider it has the mkst expensive CoL in the country. I’d love to see the area get itself a little more together.

Edit: though the other commenter is right. Castro street has nothing to do with the TL

I think you have it backwards. Coding games is complicated, and that’s why AI can’t be used to code them effectively.

I’ve been playing Sekiro lately. While it’s not generally on the top of “immersive games” lists, I find it immersive because of how cool the gameplay makes you feel. When you are just completely focused on timing each parry and reading the attacks of your enemy, it makes me feel like I’m actually in the game doing these feats. Combine that with the fact there are few cutscenes and little dialogue, and I’d say it feels pretty immersive.

It’s also the basis for a popular hardwaregeneration language, chisel. No clue why they chose it

You might need to add sudo, OP

I’m not a natalist, but let’s be real: the number if deaths caused by gun violence miniscule relative to the entire population. That said, 6 out of every 100000 kids die of firearm injuries and is the leading cause of death in children. Gun control is something that need to be improved in the country for sure. I’m just not sure it is a significant threat to “Clara.” A much bigger threat, imo, is the state of education and reliability of information today.

OK, but being a victim doesn’t make you immune to this categorization. A victim of sexual abuse who rapes someone is still a rapist. Someone who was persecuted for their race who then persecutes others for their race is still a racist. Victims don’t get a “Get Out of Jail” card.

I don’t think engineers need encouragement to be cynical. More often engineers need to lighten up.

Not exactly easy to immigrate to, as you can see from the comment about CRS scores

This question is asked as if there is an obvious destination. Where do I move? Europe/UK isn’t exactly killing it lately, so that’s out. That leaves Australia and NZ for English-speajing countries, but I know nothing about them. I could move to Japan since I know some Japanese, but the Japanese are not well-known to be accepting of foreigners. The PM is literally trying to limit immigration. So where should I be moving as an American?

I personally love Killer7, but I won’t pretend that most people would enjoy it. However the soundtrack is great.

Implement a CPU, then a GPU, then start designing weirder, domain-specific architectures.
