Where I am, autumn is when the spiders decide they want to be indoors

If you want pausable combat and a logistics focus, the Hearts of Iron games might be interesting to you. They’re pseudo-real-time in that things happen on an counter that ticks forward once per in-game hour of the day (so the results of two units fighting, a diplomatic message being sent, construction on a building), but you can speed up, slow down, or pause however you wish. If you want to zip along at a few seconds of real time per day in game, cool. Want to slow things down to a few seconds per in game hour instead? Also fine. Need to pause while you read a description? Also fine.

Seconding Space Marine 2. It’s built for three-player co-op, crossplay works smoothly, and it’s a super satisfying shooter

If you have fact-checked it, why not just say that wherever you did that is where you got the answer from? People are right to be skeptical of “ChatGPT says so”, and if you’ve used it as the start of your research rather than as your entire research then just saying “I asked ChatGPT” is no different to “I googled it”, and nobody would much like you saying that either. How you found the information is less important than where you found it.

It’s possible it’s for other reasons, though. Black Americans are generally poorer than other Americans, and success in sports is a ticket out of poverty that is accessible to people in that position. It could also be a cultural thing; I doubt Finns are genetically predisposed to be exceptional drivers, but they are still wildly over-represented at the top level of motorsports for such a small population

I’d probably also develop a short temper about spanners too if they were being shoved in my face by tech companies as hard as chat bots are

Roux is definitely a tough one. At least the ingredients are fairly cheap if you do mess it up, but damn you better be prepared to put in the work, endure the heat, and watch closely if you want to get it right. Damn tasty though.

Not all instances/clients show those display names. I’m on kbin.earth and it doesn’t, I just see the underlying account name. It sounds like you’re seeing the same. But if I go look at Wheelchar’s profile on lemmy.world, which is their instance, it shows both “WheelchairArtist” and “@WheelcharArtist”

I don’t know what the actual terminology here is. The display name is “WheelchairArtist” but the underlying account name - the one that shows up in the URL if you go to their profile - is missing the i. I have no idea if that’s a typo on account creation or something intentional.

When my cat headbutts me. I love that little guy

While you’re obviously not wrong to play the way you like playing, you won because none of your opponents were playing effectively with the strategy Vindictive describes. You can comfortably get a science victory centuries before 1900 without even playing a civ that has science buffs. Someone playing tall science well doesn’t need to ever let the game get anywhere near 1900.

So I got petty. I couldn’t beat him at the manipulation game.

Well this clearly isn’t true, you just work more slowly

If we’re going to introduce a different way to write the voiced dental fricative, dh is the obvious sensible choice

It was definitely legit in the sense of it being something completely counterable by my friend had she been looking out for it, and it certanly wasn’t an exploit. It did still feel dirty to make use of information that she hadn’t noticed to get her to defeat herself, particularly since it only worked by me carefully not saying anything about it for as long as it took to do

I worked out the Monopoly strategy of buying houses aggressively and refusing to upgrade to hotels

In Civ VI, I let my friend conquer a city from me because that put her civ over into having a majority of its cities following my religion, which won me the game

And your solution is to give it to the guy who did the exact same thing more actively and who is promising to do it harder? Right. Sure.

I bake a lot of bread, including for my coeliac stepmother, so I’ve taken to labelling the loaves gluten-free and gluten-expensive

So is your position that if the Saudis had killed Yemenis at the same rate as Israel is killing Palestinians, Trump would have reversed course? Bearing in mind that the war crimes weren’t enough, and he supported it significantly more actively than Biden and Harris are supporting Israel

Why is his backing of the Saudi campaign in Yemen not enough to you? The war has a far higher civilian death toll than Israel’s current actions do, the Saudi forces in the area have a long record of likely war crimes including bombing a school bus full of children in Dahyan and declaration of an entire city of 50,000 people as a military target, Trump actually vetoed congress to prevent them from stopping arms sales to SA, and dozens of actual direct American drone strikes were carried out under Trump’s presidency.
