Food shortages got you feeling down? Looking for a reminder of good times? After the break we'll reveal the best thickening methods for coldbrew Mac. Adding body to the cheese-water really sells the experience!

That assigns too much agency to the LLM. They can't be conscious. They're only useful for producing langauge which appears intelligent.

The LLM companies will make the LLMs say anything to not go bankrupt, though.

You're travelling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land where Jack Handey voices Cookie Monster. Next stop, the Twilight Zone!

A society requires its health, access to leisure, and the time to pursue their betterment in order to visit museums and internalize the lessons of history. The United States has reserved realization of these essential human needs for the upper class.

We require such leisure to discover the capacity and motivation to better understand ourselves, those around us, and our collective material circumstances. Without that freedom museums become mere mausoleums until their intended visitors regain the humanity we were contractually coerced to forfeit.

If I wanted to introduce someone to the genre then Empires of the Undergrowth would be my first recommendation.

The gameplay, narrative, and progression mechanics are top-notch. The developers understand what makes RTS mechanics compelling and have designed systems that are more intuitive and accessible for everyone.

For instance (no spoilers) unit groups are built-in to base management. No hotkeys or group micro management required. It happens automatically as a functional result of more obvious concerns.

My only critique of the game, if I were forced to offer one, is that the UI can seem a bit clunky at first. That aside though the team's expertise and care shine through in ways which prove the user experience was well considered throughout development.

It's fun, too!

I was ignorant but curious.

She's got a Doctorate of Philosophy in English Literature from Oxford, is a feminist author, and conspiracy theorist. At a glance I can understand why she's developed a reputation of a certain color.

Care to share any specific grievances?

Pole nuts, as it were.

If you haven't seen it I'll recommend you give Devs a watch. It's a compelling take on a similar theme.

It is also a sexual innuendo.

Okay, hipster. Got any substance under that snark?
