Bethesda says most of Starfield's 1000+ planets are dull on purpose because 'when the astronauts went to the moon, there was nothing there' but 'they certainly weren't bored'
  • Game engine limitations, apparently. Say a thread on exactly this earlier today.

    Agree it is much poorer for lacking them. It's immersion breaking being in the far future, zipping around on an interstellar craft, yet being forced to explore slowly on foot. I really can't even use the ship? Cmon.

  • It’s time for Americans to embrace small cars
  • Unfortunately it's zoning that caused most of this issue. Not size. Dense residential was disallowed for not entirely un-racist reasons, so it spread out enormously instead. On top of car companies lobbying in various ways to make cars essential.

  • ChatGPT In Trouble: OpenAI may go bankrupt by 2024, AI bot costs company $700,000 every day
  • It works if you ask it for small specific components, the bigger the scope of the request, the less likely it will give you anything worthwhile.

    So basically you still need to know what you're doing and how to design a script/program anyway, and you're just using chatgpt to figure out the syntax.

    It's a bit of time-saver at times but it's not replacing anyone in the immediate future.

  • I feel the actual inflation
  • Your previous comment was basically a massive industry wide conspiracy theory though, so their response of a more sensible answer to give you something a bit more concrete to go on was pretty reasonable to me.

  • What websites do you use as an alternative to Amazon?
  • I tend to use price aggregators more than individual websites because we've reached a point with Internet transactions that you can't really get away with being a dodgy ecommerce website. People can just file paypal issues or complain to their credit card company for help, so just go with the cheapest option and see how it goes most of the time.

    The ones I use are pricerunner and pricespy. I'm EU, but I know pricespy has a NZ version, so I assume it's global.

  • Your thoughts on The Orville?
  • It seems like a lot of modern star trek doesn't appeal to OG trekkies, but as someone who didn't watch anything pre-Discovery, I think most of it is pretty great compared to a vast portion of current TV.

  • First U.S. nuclear reactor built from scratch in decades enters commercial operation in Georgia
  • They are sort of blown out of proportion when you take into account modern safety protocols.

    Chernobyl and three mile island were user error, fukushima was force majeure.

    Since then they've been piloted widely. France has about 50 reactors and a laundry list of smaller errors that we've since learned from.
