Can’t believe I’ve been practicing for interviews by ensuring I can demonstrate my knowledge of the subject material and am capable of meeting the requirements of the role instead of focusing on maintaining eye contact and improving my posture

By this point in the story I thought Dutch was all dried out with no sauce, but the oil baron and Angelo Bronte made me think he just might pull it back.

I just remembered Shadows of Doubt, I think that's the most recent game with this system that I've played. It has proc gen cities where every citizen has a job and a sometimes spontaneous daily routine. Every few days a citizen will murder another one and leave behind a trail of evidence. It's supposed to hit 1.0 this month as well.

Very raw and buggy in places but in ways that leads to more hilarious outcomes. You hide in a freezing vent waiting for someone to head out to the club for them to apparently decide nah not tonight 2 seconds after leaving the building and catch you in the middle of reading their emails.

I think about Oblivion and it's NPC scheduling far too often. It feels like the missing piece in otherwise amazing games like Deus Ex MD or Pathologic 2.

I remember MGS V had elements of this. Guards would patrol, be relieved at certain times, there was scheduled transports of prisoners and resources. If you knocked out an entire base of guards at night eventually the morning shift would turn up and start waking them up, putting the base on alert.

I cannot agree with the idea of them being the "same thing". Potentially related? High cormorbidity? Sure.

I have AuDHD and the two have been in conflict my entire life. Since I began medication for ADHD I've finally begun to understand how my autism actually presents and that I can comfortable live with it.

Before this I constantly encountered executive dysfunction because the two have been completely opposed.

A special interest? A desire to understand something on an extremely detailed level? An important work project that I'm both motivated to complete and will help advance my career?

Nope here's an overwhelming urge to do literally anything else, we got the happy brain feeling from starting that, it's been 5 minutes and it's time to chase a new one.

Even sensory overload or uncomfortable feelings. Hey you want to be reminded of the time you touched something gross when youre trying to fall asleep? Or the time you ate something and it made you feel sick. Or the most anxiety inducing sound on loop in your brain. Since I started medication these intrusive thoughts have stopped almost entirely. ADHD was turning the most uncomfortable aspects of my autism against me for absolutley no personal gain.

I make a meltdown post on hexbear, delete it shortly after, scream into the void and then play hexcraft for 8 hours straight.

"Diverging monetary policies in Japan versus the U.S. and Europe are behind speculators' moves, he said. The yen's appreciation is contributing to the sell-off, he said."

I don't understand this area of economics and everytime I think I learn something it seems be proven incorrect shortly after.

I believed Japan was facing pressure to raise interest rates in line with other nations. Now it's done that and the yen is starting to recover it's monetary policy is divergent again causing a stock sell-off?

I'm tired of my income turning into monopoly money whenever I think about going abroad.

No interest in experiencing this so will probably never visit the US. My friends who were born there have very weird stories about the TSA questioning why they live abroad whenever they visit. It's as if they pick people who believe the US is the only country worth living in to work at an airport of all places.

You won't just get a butter knife in business class either, you'll get ones suitable for steak and thick braised meat dishes, which is even more hilarious.

Hexbear has been WILD today

My entirely vibes based decision to only use AMD and ARM based components over the past decade is instead looking like one born out of immense wisdom and technical knowledge

The bones of the game are great.

Edit: So another user pointed out they now have a private construction queue. I checked and this was released just after the last time I did a 20 hour binge of the game so I just missed it. What I said below isn't relevant anymore but I'll leave it there as an example of the type of thing the game was missing for a long time after release and why it has the framework to eventually be a complete and very complex simulation and it's heading in the right direction to achieve that.

The biggest flaw I found was that even under capitalist systems the player was entirely responsible for developing industry and growing the productive forces of the country. Every new industry or expansion of an existing one must be queued up by the player or using a very basic auto-expand and added to a country-wide construction list.

If I'm using a capitalist system I should be having to fight the interests of the bourgeoisie in terms of what and where to expand. They should be forming a private construction sector and focusing on businesses that maximise profit with minimal regard for worker welfare. Instead I can focus on industries that rapidly increase the standard of living and productive forces of the nation with the consolation that they will be privately owned until the working class is empowered enough that I can swap to collective or state ownership.

They have released a bunch of DLCs that I haven't been able to look into yet so they might have begun to address this.

Same. Hate to openly dox myself but didn’t expect to see pictures of my local train line posted on hexbear today.
