I wonder how I’d be considered. I use Steam on Linux on one computer, Windows 10 on another, and Mac on another. Maybe I get counted thrice.

Yea, you’re right. It was a mix of excitement and knowing that I’m gonna buy it eventually anyway.

It wasn’t a pre-order. I bought it and started playing it.

I ended up getting the founders edition of Civ VII. I played it most of the weekend when I wasn’t busy with other stuff.

As someone that’s been playing Civ since Civ II, I don’t enjoy VII at all. Granted, I hated V and VI when they first came out too, but this one is different. I can no longer put my scouts on auto-explore. This is my biggest pain point but other than that, there’s a substantial drop off on “fun,” in this latest iteration. If the game isn’t actually done yet, that makes sense.

It sounds like this (what the article is talking about) is a good thing, but I’m pretty irritated that I spent a large sum of money on a game that’s not completed at the time of release.

Although I personally did begin educating myself and training with a rifle about 2 years ago; it’s not the correct tool for the job at this time.

Right now is a time to come together and organize. Earlier today on a different thread I posted up the .pdf of the memo from OPM that directed federal agencies to send out that fascist email that went out yesterday/ the day before, and within it, there’s a copy of the standard format email template that’s going to be used to fire a bunch of federal employees within the next couple of days.

I moved from FL to Colorado to organize around more people like myself; I am fighting right now but it’s not with a rifle.

I’d call courageous moving into a red state… and then everything you said above still applies. I moved from a red state to a blue state in October. Everything you said applies to me, but I can assure you that my decision was not one that was “courageous.” It’s self preservation.

It’s not. Granted, I 100% respect and understand someone’s decision to leave the USA at this time, but there’s very little that’s courageous about putting yourself into a better situation. It’s the next option up from rolling over and dying.

Having a backbone would be to stick around and fight this shit; not flee.

You see me complaining? I’ve never used TikTok, but the entire controversy around it is just wag-the-dog type distraction.

Hey, look over here at the TikTok performative theatrics while we set up an oligarchy and rob you of your labor, your health, and your livelihood.

It’s more of an IG replacement than a TikTok replacement, but I’ve been kinda enjoying Pixelfed for the past week or so. It’s slow right now but that should change I imagine. The huge influx of users needs to be managed prior to optimization.

Just use AI to fix them. 😂
