This company is gonna go under before we get ES6 aren't they? Though with the latest quality of releases, I'm not entirely convinced that's a bad thing...

Not as much as I did at the beginning, but I mainly chalk that up to learning more about its limitations and getting better at detecting its bullshit. I no longer go to it for designing because it doesn't do it well at the scale i need. Now it's mainly used to refractor already working code, to remember what a kind of feature is called, and to catch random bugs that usually end up being typos that are hard to see visually. Past that, i only use it for code generation a line at a time with copilot, or sometimes a function at a time if the function is super simple but tedious to type, and even then i only accept the suggestion that i was already thinking of typing.

Basically it's become fancy autocomplete, but that's still saved me a tremendous amount of time.

It generates a condition known as missing limbs

I've been enjoying that fact lately, it's been nice to have actual conversations with people, to actually have my thoughts challenged in healthy ways and to have my mind change and to change the minds of others without the intensity that predominates a lot of other sites. I feel I can talk to people here

There's an app, and I'm sure others like it, called Tidy Panel that lets you block notifications based on the content they have. The free version let's you block a handful, but you need premium for unlimited. For you, the free might be enough.

I'll expect unhealthy, if I'm wrong I'm pleasantly surprised. That probably won't happen though

"Already" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, by the time the game comes out it will have been 9 years since Civ 6. That's 3 years longer than the gap between 5 and 6 which is the next longest gap in the series. At this point they're vastly limited in the things they can do without a complete overhaul on base mechanics we've been playing with for nearly a decade.

Would you rather they completely overhaul the current game and the original mechanics be lost to time? Of course not, the obvious next step is to make a new game.

Fair, sorry to hear that, hopefully that was due to that being the early days of refunding on steam. They only started in 2014, and monster hunter world launched in 2018. Here's hoping my experience isn't just anecdotal and they've actually improved in that time.

Steam will still override developers preferences if they feel the consumer wasn't given time to make an informed decision. For instance I played Detroit Beyond Human for about 10 hours. The majority of that time was spent loading shaders and trying to fix crashes, I eventually gave up when a friend suggested to reach out to steam support. They asked no follow up questions and refunded it, despite the page warning me they would only refund under 2 hours.

It is, and it's unfortunate that it hasn't been eliminated which needs to be the end goal. Still, I think this will have hugely positive impacts on the culture around cars, and even if I'm wrong EV's will lead the way which this bill still leads us to. If it's all electricity and the manufacturers don't need to worry about fuel conversion, I feel they'll be less incentivized to make monster size vehicles since added weight is decreased performance with no cost benefits for them.

This was absolutely necessary. Car manufacturers have been abusing the previous rules which had lesser requirements for "light trucks". Have you noticed how almost all 'cars' nowadays are the size of an SUV? This is a huge change and will affect so many more things positively(less fatal accidents for one) than JUST miles per gallon.

Steam is great! But so is competition, and GOG has been one of the best of them. A healthy mindset and a strong focus on their relationship to the customer puts pressure on steam to do more than the bare minimum to stay in the lead. We're lucky in the fact that they're both mostly good companies to their consumers.

They each have their own issues, and I do question the effectiveness of GOG's strategy here, but GOG doing well is also good for you as a steam user!
