Original video gamers are like 75. It’s weird to assume that most won’t at least occasionally play.

I’m 48 and play daily. Husband is 43 and has like 2k hours in Baldurs Gate.

Not sure if meta or real.

They are like people who never learn language. This sometimes happens to deaf people who are not taught to use sign language. Any inference about such a person’s intellect and capacities should be abstracted towards mammals at least.

Although people are moving away from CA, tons and tons of people are moving there. It’s not going to affect anything on the CA side.

We’re done. You’re toxic, have a block.

Nah, man, this is all on you. Talking about what people in Africa, India, and Pakistan are experimenting with in their own country does not make anyone outside of there a white savior. This is really all on you.

I really feel that there must be a streak of racism among the people who responded to this thread. It was weird how people took exception to the idea of food being made in a community.

This is what I am talking about. You can restore desolate land and make it produce food for humans:

It’s unclear why you are projecting some nonsense about me wanting to keep Africans in the stone age. Maybe try to be a bit more charitable.

A terrible idea, putting food production in communities and making sure they are fed. I should have known better. You’re right, massive agriculture in the hands of a powerful elite is the only answer.

This isn’t about trying to integrate with modern life. It’s realizing that aspects of modernity are obscene and some things should go back to how they were done millennia back.

It would have been developed by humans all around the world at the same time. Technology and knowledge weren’t the limiting factor–humans have always known that you can toss some seeds in the soil and a plant will come out. What was lacking was the climate–the last ice age ended about 12,000 years ago and only after that was massive cultivation possible. It was after that where you see settlements and eventually cities appear.

The sort of work that is succeeding in parts of Africa, Pakistan, and India is setting up what they call food forests. Put some fruiting tree species in the center and surround throughout with fruiting and vegetable producing plants. This will form a more complex web of creatures that can live together and produce food for the people who take care of them. No fertilizers, no irrigation–just crops that are appropriate for the region. They can take years to get going, though, which is the hard part. Once they are going, it’s just a question of tending to them.

Completely agreed. There is very little in the way of actual journalism there, it’s really an industry rag.

I’m really convinced that the whole world decided one day that air conditioning was magic and gave up on everything else.

I can’t imagine how much work it would be to migrate all your services onto Linux. The problem was people adopting windows in the first place.

Not a drop in the bucket of their revenues, though. This is really about someone feeling angst that they can’t get an extra quarter percent increase in profits for the quarter so that the dividends go up just so slightly.

I suspect that we’ll end up not with the gaming market being where this sticks, but entertainment. Imagine an immersive movie with 360 views.

This is most certainly political and some prosecutor has a vendetta.

I used ME a lot and never had trouble. I think I had just the right hardware cuz I know that many people had a hard time.

I’ve always believed that 2k was the best software they ever produced.
