That's amazing, and surprising that the boss actually stayed dead!

Most people who played both probably have an order of magnitude more playtime in Minecraft, though.

Worse than Fallout 76?

I hate it too, but I don't think it was that bad in Skyrim or Fallout 4. Mostly just Oblivion that dropped the ball on this.

Soweit ich weiß, ist Fruchtzucker sogar noch ungesünder als Haushaltszucker, da er in höheren Mengen die Leber schädigt bzw. Fettleber begünstigt. Bei ganzen Früchten nicht so schlimm, da deren Ballaststoffe die Aufnahme verlangsamen und sich auch kaum jemand 5 Äpfel oder Orangen auf einmal reinhaut, aber bei Saft ist das eben ein Problem.

They can literally murder people in broad daylight and at worst they get a paid vacation and a transfer.

I think sequence breaking is fun, and it works better in open world games. IME many modern open world games avoid this by tightly tying loot to levels or stats that you increase by leveling or even advancing the main story, which kinda defeats the point of open world games IMO.

Though honestly, I do enjoy having at least an illusion of choice, very linear games that don't even maintain an illusion of openness feel really restricting to me. Modern open world RPGs just took it way too far while getting some of the important details wrong.

As if they really needed more than Germany for that ...

Medieval societies already had some division of labor, even actual medieval medicine experts generally knew enough to treat small cuts. Since it's a relatively high-magic world (Divinity's Rivellon), chances are decent that they have actual healing magic, too (whether that's actually accessible to peasants and random foreigners is another matter TBF). So I'm not saying the medicine I could access would necessarily be great from a rich western country's perspective, but trying to survive there for a year isn't exactly a death sentence, either. Lots of other game worlds would be way worse.

Game I've been playing the last couple of days is high-ish-magic medieval-style fantasy, which isn't the worst world to live in. Question is whether the protagonists have been through the area yet, otherwise there's nonzero risk of dying from supernatural creature attack or evil cults, on top of goblins and orcs which probably aren't any worse than historic "barbarian" attacks but deadly all the same.

claims there is zero paper trail whatsoever about the operation.

Absurd that this is supposed to be a defense for what they're doing ...

I can see the argument for local or at least open source models, but most people who use LLMs are using ChatGPT and other Big Tech LLM services, which are clearly run by fascists.

Even Hannah Montana Linux is superior to Windows, though.

Ich glaube ich würde hier nicht lange dem Bannhammer entgehen wenn das meine tatsächliche Meinung wäre Ü

Also she has a lifetime of experience in not having to give deference to authority.

"but I really care about women's sports!"

As if.

No, the Linux part is mandatory even if you don't tell them your distro. SMH, it's right there in the fine print.

Früher war auch schon Rekordniedrigwasser!

The tech bro goons don’t own the technology.

They do own ChatGPT and other commercial LLM services, though, which is what most AI users use, and they made the hardware to run local AI models prohibitively expensive for a lot of people.

Definitely been done, though. There are lots of fantasy worlds where divine beings are objective fact, which is often directly experienced by protagonists. AFAIK in those cases, the claim by in-universe atheists tends to be that those are just powerful beings, not gods, which kind of seems like a distinction without a difference to me.

Though it does become philosophical. What IS a "god", and if we accept these beings as gods, should you worship them? Are they worship-worthy, and are they going to punish people who refuse to worship them? The last part is kind of independent of whether they're really gods, even a powerful being who is literally just a mundane human (e.g. a king) can still make your life hell if you refuse their demands.
