I enjoyed a lot of the game objectives... Automating the farm, going to the bottom of the mine and the desert thing, completing the community center, courting a spouse etc.

A lot of the grindy bits weren't as fun, such as missing some season-specific cutscene or event and not having the exact right item, the feeling of needing to speed grow certain crops at the beginning of each season, etc.

Overall it was a chill and positive experience. The music is awesome, character interactions not too laborious. This game plays great on SteamDeck and with proper settings it sips battery. For a long flight, I would pair this title with stuff like Animal Well, Dead Cells, and Cave Blazers.

Trespasser was a vibe in some ways. The clean screen and unique control scheme was innovative at the time. Granted it doesn't hold up very well now, but there were some cool concepts at least.

An alternative way of saying you don't enjoy subtext.

What did you think of No Country (same year, similarly dark, more action and different theming)

Spoon is an awesome band that mostly flies just below the radar while still quietly releasing awesome records. They have been active since the 90s and they don't have a single bad album.

And you can also not log into Google Maps. It still lets you use map and navigation etc. But it is denied any explicit methods of identifying you and is left with only probabilistic methods (i.e. you are searching from the same network and therefore same public IP as another device that is known to Google as being associated with your account).

There are one or two accounts on Lemmy who seem to show up in every privacy or graphene thread and shit-talk GOS.

I say if there is something wrong with GOS or the code itself, identify it and prove it. The founder may have been "problematic" or whatever, but it doesn't sound like that person is even associated with the project anymore.

I have personally daily-driven GOS for a year. It has worked well for me. I use a lot of FOSS apps. I use some traditional Play Store apps and avoid logging into Google and I manage permissions closely. I'd say GOS gives you options. Maybe some people would like other customized degoogled OS better, and that is fine. Just... for the love of all that is sacred, don't use vanilla Googled Android.

Right, they need close air support, infantry support, scouts, supply chain logistics etc. all working together to be peak effective. If you just give some dudes an Abrams and a crash course in driving it and firing the main gun, they will be better off than the same crew of randos in a technical made out of a Toyota Tacoma, but they will still be vulnerable to modern threats.

It's easy to understand why the modern drone threat is uniquely game-changing if you think of war like chess. Most advanced powers have now figured out that having a developed drone program is like giving yourself infinite pawns. You keep trading pawns for the opponents more valuable pieces. If Russia is able to spend a few thousand in drone hardware and explosives and destroy a multimillion dollar tank, they'll make that trade any day.
