  • I’ve been playing this ‘medieval’ mod(s) for RimWorld which basically limits you to medieval tech and has a lot more crafting spaces to make materials for things, like a loom to make cloth or drying racks to make straw or dried meat. Its neat but a little quirky and doesn’t seem well tuned in parts.

    I’ve also been convincing people to try out PULSAR: The Lost Colony, which is like a first person Star Trek adventure co-op game. The game gets pretty close to doing cool stuff, and has great moments, but doesn’t quite nail it overall. That’s almost more frustrating to be honest.
















  • Yeah, probably.

    Because of many factors, we’re seeing an erosion of the ‘third place’ which has been somewhat replaced or supplemented by the internet.

    But now the internet is turning into a watchdog which desperately wants to monetize you, or direct you towards something that it can monetize.

    Its hard to say while we’re in the middle of it, but I’m going to assume fifty years from now people will say we took privacy for granted and didn’t realize how influential algorithms really were.
