Cards on the table: for Google money I'd do it too. If they want to enshittify their product until the competition has a fighting chance, who am I to stop them? Sure, it's an annoying and anticonsumer thing to do. But making a "free" product's bad qualities harder to circumvent isn't the ethical hill I'm going to die on.

Funny enough, the greatest blessing in India simply adds the words "in law"

Is combat focus a deal breaker? If not: Faster Than Light Volcanoids (early access) Darkest dungeon (kind of) Xcom

If you step away from the ship, things like mass effect and outer worlds come to mind. If the ship can be a base there's a whole world there. Astroneer, planet crafter (early access), Starbound, terraria, Subnautica If exploration/colony sim is cool you're looking at factorio, rift breaker, frostpunk, ixion (hardcore!), satisfactory

I expect I've stayed from your prompt at this point. It's a tough niche. Good luck with your search!

Edit: on mobile, don't know why my line breaks didn't work. Forgive the formatting.

AL resident here - he doesn't get as much direct support as you might think. Most of the state votes straight red without even reading the names, so he only needs enough support/bullying competition to get through the primaries.

White bread. Bland enough to avoid eating aversions and puts some energy in you. Plus, most people already have some! Not claiming it's healthy, but when I'm sick and the thought of eating makes me want to puke it manages to slip past my radar.

You know what the community is called, but because you judge the question to be stupid you're attacking them anyway by just changing the word? People like you are the reason communities like this exist in the first place. You make people afraid to express their curiosity and improve themselves as a person. Everyone has holes in their knowledge, and sometimes those holes are embarrassing. The best way to combat ignorance in our society is to foster a culture where people are encouraged to express their curiosity and educate themselves.

I would characterize the crust as more colony sim than RTS. It's definitely rough around the edges, but it has a strong foundation and I expect it will be a great game when finished.

The crust is my top pick, very promising resource management colony sim

lemmy.studio and sopuli.xyz are not populating for me. Probably soft blocked? Also, it may be worth opening and pinning a megathread for this topic so the community doesn't get spammed.

edit 10/15: sopuli has started working, studio is still not showing

My kit:

  • pocket knife
  • flashlight
  • wallet
  • folding phone stand
  • phone
  • earbuds
  • pen (with a cap, not a clicky)
  • sharpie
  • breath mints
  • 4' multi-end charging cable
  • thumb drive
  • lightning > 3.5mm (aux)
  • USBC > 3.5mm
  • bandaids
  • OTC drugs (Advil, Tylenol, Aleve, Benadryl, lactase (I'm lactose intolerant))

Everything on that list was added because I needed it and didn't have it on multiple occasions. There have been plenty of other things that I would love to carry, but found too bulky to justify.

A note to everyone recommending condoms: they do expire, and can wear through if carried in an environment with friction (wallet, pocket, etc). I prefer to play it safe and make a stop at a drug store should the need arise.

This interpretation leaves out the most important part of the crucifixion story: Jesus willingly took on the world's sins out of love. So whether or not most Christians would say yes depends on if the one person being tortured has a choice in the matter, which is unspecified in the question.

Long time Brave user here! This list of chromium features changed for privacy reasons may ease your fears. One of the founders of Brave, Brendan Eich, was actually CTO of Mozilla (firefox) for a time, as well as the creator of the JavaScript programming language used in web development. One of the large reasons he left to found Brave was that he became disenfranchised with unethical handling of user data. Before the first line of Brave code was written it was dedicated to providing a safe, private user experience.
