I got it for free with a CPU I bought. Played roughly 3 hours before I stopped. It was just too boring.
As with pretty much any staple food. It's used as a filler. The reason you might not understand is that it can be expensive to eat only meat, veggies, etc. A cheap staple like rice, noodles, or bread is a good way not to die of starvation or at the least keep some money in your pocket.
If a staple food isn't part of your daily diet, that speaks a bit of privilege on your economic position.
Also I enjoy rice. It's neutral tasting but with a tiny bit of seasoning it's good.
Nice harder drive. Here's a vid of more examples of silly ways to store data: https://youtu.be/JcJSW7Rprio
Honestly not that stupid. I have seen SD cards break. And for certain applications, like professional photography, having a more physically reliable medium is a good thing.
But I think cameras with dual SD cards for redundancy are more important.
Aspartame has about the same amount of calories as sugar (4kcal per gram). But it's much more sweet so you need very little of it. So there is a very tiny amount of sweetener which does contain calories but it's rounded down to 0.
Any Paradox game. Oxygen Not Included. Factorio. Civilization. Rimworld. Dwarf Fortress. The list goes on.
For me I think it's about having non-stop and parallel mini problems/puzzles/goals. By the time one task is finished. There's two more to take its place.
If you're not just being facetious, https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is a good source.
According to them ~58% of anti-cheat games work. There's been a large uptick of anti-cheat support since the Steam Deck.
According to ProtonDB, 86% of the top 1000 games on Steam function (Silver+ rating). It's a pretty safe bet that the most of the missing 14% is probably due to anti-cheat.
I don't drink, I'm always confused when hosting about the amount and type of beer I should buy. And then I'm stuck with beer afterwards the inevitably goes bad. Now I just let people BYOB because they typically did that regardless.
I don't really see it as overboard. People in Japan (and elsewhere) have wet rooms. I'm a fan of them, cleaning is easier and additional protection from flooding. It's the exact opposite of carpet in the bathroom.
The "learn a language before traveling" always seemed like gatekeeping to me. I've traveled a decent bit, and I would not have had the time to learn a dozen or so languages. Especially when you have to learn entire new writing systems. I'll learn a little bit while I'm visiting because I'm immersing myself.
if someone wants to study another language, all power to them. But it shouldn't be a barrier from experiencing other cultures.
I played the enhanced editions on Steam which have a native Linux build. No issues.
Yea I agree $40k is a bit disingenuous. But the cost of a car is more than the car itself. It's better to view it as a ongoing expense of fuel, insurance, maintenance, etc. AAA estimates between 7-10k a year. https://www.aaa.com/autorepair/articles/average-annual-cost-of-new-vehicle-ownership
