I only played the original. I didn’t really like it at first, thinking that the augmentation and mod stuff was needlessly complicated for this kind of game. Also the graphics weren’t all that great in comparison to other games using the same engine. There were a lot of attention to details in comparison to other games so I gave it a chance. The turning point came after completing the first part of the story and getting hooked. The story really carried the game and touches on some interesting topics.

A game with a similar feel would be Omikron: The Nomad Soul. It was released the year before Deus Ex, has worse controls and graphics, but the story and setting is somewhat similar.

So, what happens if you order a bomb at the McD?

Those mistakes would be easily solved by something that doesn’t even need to think. Just add a filter of acceptable orders, or hire a low wage human who does not give a shit about the customers special orders.

In general, AI really needs to set some boundaries. “No” is a perfectly good answer, but it doesn’t ever do that, does it?

They took a $300 000 flight to Australia. I guess that’s the price when you order on the same day, but what’s the hurry?

Sure, I understand the desire to get the fuck out of UK after so many years, but I suppose he’ll be checking in to some hotel on arrival anyway. Asking for crowdfunding for a flight seems a little out of touch…

I’m not exactly sure of the context of the question.

Electricity plants use the excess heat for district heating. It isn’t just wasted. If we could suddenly stop using coal or other combustibles for electricity production, we’d still need to produce energy for heating.

Transport is different though. Gasoline engines are highly inefficient and produces a lot of excess heat that isn’t used even when the heater is on full blast. It’s not much in comparison to power production though, so while it will be more efficient to drive and heat a car by electricity, excess heat from cars isn’t really an issue in itself. It’s the pollution that is the main issue.

That’s not exactly the take I was expecting, but alright.

The person who posted it is apparently addicted to abusing other peoples labour. Now, as a labour dealer, I can’t provide them with one guy with 10 years experience. That’s too high of a dose.

However, if they’re willing, I can probably find 10 guys with 1 year experience, but the price is going to be 10 times the going rate, because that’s how much it’ll cost me to hire and manage those 10 people off fiver.

Am I cutting the shit? Go find another dealer then. It’s not my “need”. That’s a “your problem”.

This might be pedantic, but the use of the word “need” pisses me off more than the unrealistic requirement. It’s so needy.

Yes. However the upper management doesn’t care about that. They look at some figures and then go on to make up whatever savings they want the middle managers to do without regard to whether those idea will improve the figures. It’s a shot in the dark.

Now…if you’re in a civilised country where union agreements are well in place , it’s possible to require a coalition group, where middle management and employee representatives sit down to have a dialogue of what is best practice. More often than not this leads to improved figures, so the upper management don’t ever need to dig into the details but can spend time doing their actual job of making long term strategies.

Yes, that way it pays off for employers to have union agreements. They just don’t see it before they do it.

Think harder. Middle management just sucks for everyone. Including middle management.

I doubt any game logic is going to be that fast ever. It might look better, but it won’t make much difference in how players or even the game itself can react to events in the game. Perhaps it’ll make VR more comfortable or something.

I wish it was possible to vote strongly enough for gerrymandering to be irrelevant.

Another 51% win for Biden will certainly trigger another violent inssurection attempt and another 4 years of inaction.

The best outcome would be a landslide victory if only to show the republican voters that their ideas are not supported by the general public.

Do this lot of people vote?

A broom works fine for that.

It’s bad in the USA because they have an aversion to all forms of registration.

It’s unnecessary in most of Europe because they already have functional registries.

I don’t know enough about UK election procedures to figure out why they thought it was necessary. It’s probably not, but it’s easy points for someone wanting to signal that they’re doing something against the fictional illegal immigrants who are supposedly voting en masse whenever the right wing politicians don’t get their way…

The misstep was embarrassing for Johnson because the requirement to bring photo ID is a stipulation of the Elections Act which he introduced in 2022 while still in Downing

It’s not the onion, because you can’t make this shit up.

Looks like a turning point.

Renault, VW and Hyundai have also increased their EV sales considerably in 2024 so far, while Tesla is moving down the lists.

So it’s not just Chinese cars taking over due to artificial low pricing. I think consumers are getting more comfortable with EVs in general. Tesla no longer have the advantage of being “first” or long range or being perceived as exclusive luxury or whatever drove them to the top in the first place. Their design also looks pretty dated by now in my opinion.
