Almost to the Fourth extra planet in Factorio, just beefing up Nauvis production first so I can bang some higher quality items out first.

I always rate my games on price per hour played, rather than just total cost.

Factorio is one of my cheapest games ever.

If you enjoyed the base game, you’ll like the expansion. It’s a lot more content with tons of new things to deal with and optimize.

I’m almost 60 hours into factorio’s space age expansion that just came out out 10 days ago. However I have over 2500 hours in the base game.

That being said, factorio is notorious for never once having gone on sale.

The only other game I play launch day for is path of exile expansions.

Everything else I buy later on sale.

Everyone should get off X, I stopped using it the moment that Muskrat bought it. It wasn’t great before, but it’s turned into an absolute dumpster fire now.

Path of Exile new league drops on Friday, so I’m practicing and theory crafting ahead of that.

Yup, the factorio devs have earned the trust required.

I just use Photopea https://www.photopea.com/ instead. It does everything I need, and I don’t need to install anything.

I was slightly too young to get one, but I remember them coming out. I didn’t get my first GPU until AGP became a thing, when I was able to get a Voodoo Banshee (which was the 3rd? Generation) from these guys.

Initially we’re going to (or already) see some absolute garbage. Rushed projects using AI poorly trying to capitalize on the boom.

There will be some hints of treasure in the trash, and developers will learn from these successes and especially the failures.

The second and third generations will have better outcomes, and we’ll see some amazing things.

That’s exactly what will happen.

A lot of new studios will form out of the ashes of these layoffs.

That’s why you often see “from the former developers of X game” or similar in marketing for new games.

I just use Chat-GPT, I also have the capability to write my own formulas, but especially for more complex or repetitive formulas it’s faster.

Here’s one for PowerApps I asked it to extend

Patch(Timesheets, LookUp(Timesheeets, ID=SharePointIntegration.SelectedListItemID), {DataString:Concatenate(TextInput1.Text, “;”,TextInput2.Text, “;”, TextInput3.Text, “;”, TextInput1_1.Text, “;”,TextInput2_1.Text, “;”, TextInput3_1.Text, “;”, TextInput1_2.Text, “;”,TextInput2_2.Text, “;”, TextInput3_2.Text, “;”, TextInput1_3.Text, “;”,TextInput2_3.Text, “;”, TextInput3_3.Text, “;”, TextInput1_4.Text, “;”,TextInput2_4.Text, “;”, TextInput3_4.Text, “;”, TextInput1_5.Text, “;”,TextInput2_5.Text, “;”, TextInput3_5.Text, “;”, TextInput1_6.Text, “;”,TextInput2_6.Text, “;”, TextInput3_6.Text, “;”)}); Refresh(‘Timesheets’);

I just gave it the first bit and two text input fields initially and then asked it to add the remainder for me instead of hitting copy paste and changing the numbers a dozen times.

Probably saved me 5 minutes, but I do this kind of thing fairly regularly so it’s probably saving me a half-hour to an hour per week on formulas alone.

I use it all the time to write Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerApps formulas. I use it to draft and re-write e-mails. I use it to come up with ideas and brainstorm.

This game has been amazing, various alpha versions we’re often different enough to feel like entirely new games.

Definitely worth what I paid for it.

Or it’s just to show off the joint rotational abilities the thing is capable of compared to the hydraulic limitations that were part of Atlas.

Or both…

Boston Dynamics’ videos seem to make us disbelieve a lot, but so far it’s all been real.

The word you’re looking for is adoption, not adaptation.

I will literally build my own printer before ever subscribing to this bullshit.

Go fuck yourself hp, you are not as important as you think you are.

The instance would likely just act as a regular instance and allow normal users on, you couldn’t even tell they were using it to scrape data at that point.
