• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suggestions for a top down game that is genuinely different to all the others?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The game defined the factory builder genre. Everything that followed (Dyson sphere project, satisfactory, shapez, etc etc etc) came after factorio (nicknamed cracktorio because of its addictive qualities) was released.

  Gameplay wise it’s a top down with some vehicles and weapons, which is not unique at all, but the core of the gameplay loop was unique and spawned an entire sub genre of build games.

  For the akshuallys in the room, it is possible that there were factory line builders before factorio that I’m not aware of, but none had the depth and breadth and definitely none were as popular/iconic.

  There are countries where this is culturally how litter is managed. Japan is a fully developed example - bins are hard to come by, everyone brings their trash with them.

  It can be done.

  Thank you so much!

  I hadn’t really considered how much of the knowledge is local. That makes sense though, in a duh why didn’t I already think of that kind of way.

  I’m not ready to get started yet but I like reading about potential future hobbies or things I just find generally interesting, such as bee keeping, so the general knowledge will be fine for now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does it make sense to buy a lifetime supply of honey?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hello! I have considered getting into bee keeping as a retirement thing but I don’t know a good resource to start learning.

  Are there any good online communities you can recommend, forums, etc?

  You need zero poker experience to play it. It’s not a poker game at all, just uses poker hands for scoring, and if you don’t know them they’re all displayed if you hit esc.

  It wasn’t for me either at first but I gave it another shot and it got its hook into me.

  What helped me was looking up a scoring/basic strategy guide that helped me figure out what super rookie mistakes I was making - this gave me a better eye for strategy when I was playing, which in turn translated to me enjoying the deck building aspect (which is a mechanic I know I enjoy).

  The game is good, and really great to pick up and put down in busts if you don’t have a lot of time.

  Hope you end up liking it eventually! I LOVE poker of all types, rogue likes, and deck builders so I thought this was a smash hit when I heard about it, but yeah, took a while to love it.

  What is the personality of the toaster?

  One looks like your friend’s dad when he comes home and finds everyone has not only left on all the lights in the house but have also left the fridge open

  Other one looks like a guy in early 20s that is on a bus and some fucker is doom scrolling tiktok loud without headphones

  I’d say they’re both great but you gotta decide what kind of cranky toaster you’re going with

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Phones have unique phone numbers, why dont computers have unique computer-numbers?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Phone number 2FA isn’t useless, insomuch as it’s better than no 2FA at all, but it is easily the worst form of 2FA because SIM jacking (usually involves a scammer tricking a customer service agent into migrating your phone number to their device instead of yours in order to intercept the 2FA messages) is laughably simple using easily acquired info such as your DOB, address, and last 4 of your SSN.

  If phone 2FA is the only option, use it. But don’t use it if you have any other option.
