People who aren’t having issues don’t go online to post about it. Since we know the daily player counts hovers around 29,000, those very real hundreds of complaints can still be a very small portion of players experiencing issues.

I haven’t had any elevator issues in a while, though I know some people have with the freight elevators. Guild chat isn’t something I care about, since every guild/clan/alliance I’ve been a part of has always used mumble/TS/discord.
It’s not really that buggy now, and I don’t know what you mean by “game loops don’t consistently work”?

Un-sarcastic answer, it’s actually in a really good spot. The backend changes they put in over the past year have boosted the per-server player counts like crazy, they churned through most of their ship backlog, and they’ve been running a bunch of story events. Performance is way up, especially for client fps in high-population areas (15 fps this time last year if you were in a crowd, 35+ now).
PCG has been super negative on SC for years. Sometimes very justifiably, but many times not.

I love the double meaning in the title. We’re both content for consumption, and content with the situation.

This is so overly broad, it’s insane.

We can’t create them either. Think of any system you think is perfectly rational, and then ask yourself by what standard its rationality is determined.

That is a bunch of assumptions right there.
The reality is that businesses often don’t know when more people are needed, don’t have the correct people making the decisions whether to hire even if needed, can’t get the budgets approved even if the hiring mgmt chain is on board, can’t get approval to offer competitive salaries, etc etc.
There are a million reasons why companies don’t hire when they need to, or do hire when they don’t.
Humans aren’t perfectly rational, and can’t create perfectly rational systems.

- Comment on The air is hissing out of the overinflated AI balloon 2 weeks ago:
Another article conflating LLMs and AI.
AI is unfortunately supercharging lots of systems, especially in the police/intelligence spaces. Surveillance driven by AI is absolutely skyrocketing both in capabilities and prevalence.
xAI and OpenAI aren’t seeing good ROI, being LLM companies. Palantir and they’re ilk are another beast altogether.
- Comment on I’m Fighting for My Freedom Using Outdated Technology 2 weeks ago:
This is 1000% a scheme by the prisons to make it as onerous and fraught as possible to appeal. They certainly aren’t going to help their ‘revenue-sources’ get out.
US prisons have tons of things like this.
- Prison commissaries are notoriously designed to gouge prisoners for small “luxuries”.
- Some prisons limit the list of allowed books to almost nothing (or force prisoners to use e-readers with per-minute subscription costs that are also exorbitant), or even use kiosks that they get very little time to access.
- Many states and prisons charge room and board while you’re confined.
All of it is done to both extract maximum profit while they’re inside, and to try to ensure people exit in debt, so they’re both hard-pressed to find work and desperate for money, because both things make people more likely to end up back in prison.
- Comment on The Framework Desktop and Linux have shown me the path to PC gaming in the living room 2 weeks ago:
You can buy it ‘naked’ without the desktop shell, for clustering (though also just to choose your own case).
It’s really meant as an LLM-runner that fits on your desk, for people who aren’t looking to have a rackmount setup. Hell, unless I want to add a 4U monster to my rack for a GPU setup, even a single FWD is going to outperform most rackmounts for running LLMs.
I do think there’s value to it as a gaming machine if only because other OEMs aren’t offering desktops with Linux, and certainly not ones that can run games very well without any user upgrades, but yeah, it’s definitely not intended as a “gaming machine”.

I think so. I was mostly a chopper pilot flying blackhawks so I don’t recall most of the fixed wing aircraft, but an A10 would make sense.

- Comment on We can't keep making videogame stories for players who aren't paying attention to them 3 weeks ago:
Exposition != story.
A good story can be (and usually is) told with minimal exposition. AAA games being exposition-fests is a result of game executives and writers infantilising players in the name of “widest audience appeal”.
- Comment on We can't keep making videogame stories for players who aren't paying attention to them 3 weeks ago:
This is not a good argument for unnecessary exposition though, this is just an argument for shorter, bite-sized narratives, or even what some games already do (like The Witcher 3) where they recap where you are in the loading screen. If anything, unnecessary exposition just wastes what little time you have to play, or forces you to skip the dialogue entirely.
