Mindustry: an extremely high quality (and difficulty) FOSS tower defense game
  • Man I love factorio's art, had no idea people thought it was bad. Maybe at release. But there's alot of attention to detail in the sprites, even the trees sway gently in the breeze. You don't see that often in other games of a similar style.

  • Why do residential skyscrapers always seem to include balconies that never get used?
  • There are a tonne of apartment balconies that are just afterthoughts by the developer though. I see plenty that are narrow to the point of being useless, or 30 floors up with no enclosed overhang which just generally feels kinda terrifying.

  • I'm Greganent?
  • Sure, easing into a deflating population over several hundred years is fine but tanking it and ending up with a society having to support a vastly older population ain't easy either. Better for governments to provide positive reasons to have children but there's zero chance of that.

  • Can a Four-Year Degree in Any Hard Science Realistically Get You a Good Job?
  • I can second bioinformatics if you have the aptitude for biology and IT, the pay can be 10-20k higher than a similar wet lab science job. But technically the skills you have could get you paid more in pure IT (science generally pays less). Demand is high, so the barrier to entry is generally lower (no hard requirements for phd, only a bachelors minimum or work experience in a similar field). Less physical labour too. Downside is that team sizes are usually small so you'll be doing alot of multitasking.

  • What was the worst book you’ve ever read?
  • It really puts your suspension of disbelief to the test, and all the characters are terrible. I actually thought the netflix show was better than the book because the characters were alot more relatable.

  • Breast Cancer
  • I mean it's entirely an arbitrary distinction. AI, for a very long time before chatGPT, meant something like AGI. we didn't call classification models 'intelligent' because it didn't have any human-like characteristics. It's as silly as saying a regression model is AI. They aren't intelligent things.
