Only time Doomguy talks in Eternal is during a flashback, and one word at the end of the second DLC. During the flashback he only says how he must kill more demons.

Latest one for me is Disco Elysium. Didn’t really like its form of story telling. Played it for about 6-8 hours without feeling that the plot had made any meaningful progression.

The trailer was also misleading, selling it more as some form of detective thriller. Most of the dialogue is about stuff unrelated to the ongoing investigation.

I also didn’t like how some actions could randomly kill you. Oh, got a bad dice roll? Too bad, you must reread the dialogue of the past few minutes again. In the end I actively saved the game over and over again to avoid losing any progress.

One character is revealed to be evil

Hot damn! And here I thought 30+ days was decent amount.

Live in a country with a decent amount of vacation days.

I haven’t really seen any sport that has been clearly dominated by trans women. Feels like a non-issue to me.

If it ever becomes an issue where trans women has such unfair advantage biological women has no longer chance of winning, then maybe a separate category is needed.

The good thing about the var keyword is that it’s still statically typed. The IDE can figure out the type for you if you hover over it.

Sure, anyone can pick up a new language or two over a weekend. That doesn’t mean they are confident enough to contribute to large scale programs with it. That takes much longer to learn.

Anyone can quickly learn how to solve some code challenges in a new language.

It’s a completely different story to learn how to write long lived enterprise scale programs that can grow with multiple independent contributors. This takes a lifetime to learn. More people have more experience to do it with Java.

It’s by amount of pull requests, so the length of class names and other Java boilerplate doesn’t count.

You’re delusional if you believe people care about Nim. It has been around for 16 years and is still nothing in comparison to Java. Java won’t go anywhere and is here to stay.

Who cares? If it works, it works.

The biggest strength of Java is that many programmers has years or even decades of experience in it.

I managed to memorize it for a test in networking class. The teacher was surprised someone actually managed to get it right.

Version numbering scenes are also arbitrary. In the case of Linux, the scheme is “Bump up the minor version until it’s too big. In that case bump up the major version instead”.

Socialist ideas is to move away from the idea of private ownership. Everything is owned by the “people” in collective (which in practice often means the state). You don’t own your cellphone, your computer or your shoes. They’re all provided to you by the “people” (the state).

The roads in your example are paved by private companies in a competitive market (often funded by tax money). They may have been selected by the state to do the work at an agreed price. Next time some other private company might do the work because they compete with even better prices. This process is not socialistic.

I like some of the goals of it (like evening out the economical inequalities), but I don’t think socialism is the right way to do it. Democratic welfare state systems found in Western European countries are much better solutions (and hasn’t turned into authoritarian tyrannies).

UBI might also be a good option, but currently there have been no large scale implementation of it yet.

We’re long past the hunter-gatherer reality with a world population of 20,000, which your post concerns.

Even ants and bees falls into the trap of having one tyrannical leader all the workers are serving.

Capitalism takes into account for basic facts like human nature.

Because I can get my fucking point across without them
