My nephew has it figured out already, too.
My brother was telling me that he calls sweatpants "softies", so like if he's getting dressed and you ask if he wants to wear jeans, he'll shake his head and tell you that he wants to wear softies. So 9 out of 10 days that dude is rockin' sweatpants.
I aspire to that level of confidence.

But right, we were hanging out with another local person who's a biglaw associate, and she and I were talking about career uncertainty and just not quite knowing what our ideal like looks like, and we're like, ok how about you, Californian visitor? And this woman is like yeah, I just want to keep surfing and travel a lot, maybe the tech millionaire I'm currently dating will work out

I think we should remove the general public's ability to put reviews on the internet, not make them more important.
Oh man yeah.
If I am looking at a game I may look at Metacritic and Steam. But just the base score and even then I still go watch gameplay vids to be sure because I have played some great games that got blasted by the mob.
No Man's Sky, Mass Effect Andromeda, and hell I even enjoyed that SimCity that got slammed.
Well I'm pretty sure you're objectively wrong about SimCity.
That SimCity was pretty fun for a little while. But the flaws came out pretty fast.
Cities Skylines just bulldozed over Sim City 5.
It wasn't even fair.
Cities Skylines does seem to be pretty awesome from the little bits I've played.
People were more apt to look over the flaws the game had at release because it was offline and had slightly larger build spaces. It has improved a lot given the time to do so though. No more corpse towns. No more filling up tiny spots you were given. No more buggy traffic. Its the best out right now.
"Slightly" larger? Nah man, the build space in Cities was like 5-10 times the size of SC5.
/shrug. You got, what was it 14 or more, plots you could build on and connect. You get one in Cities. So Simcity was slightly larger. And at release it only the best computers could build on the full Cities plot anyway as it still needed a ton of optimization. Its much better now though like I said.
Oh yeah it went from really good to amazing, but I'm just sayin... the Skylines plots were 3kmx3km and SC5's were 2kmx2km.
These days we can unlock all 81 tiles in Skylines, it's niiice.
Don't they expire every 6 months? You will be advised to stay away from stuff like peanut butter until whatever age. Think it's 2. But I think you'll be ok without one. Can ask your ped about it though.
unsurprisingly that's now changing and people are beginning to have evidence that for many food allergies, it's that we stayed away from the food that triggers allergic response on first exposure.
The whole thing is a giant goddamn question mark. Stuff changed between BC and spool17 and there's a raft of things we did that aren't done now, and vice versa.
yeah, you just go with the best research available at the time really. what else can you do.
Please consider the environment before printing this post.

It's just a matter of being honest.
"We can't give you single player because it all happens on the cloud!!!!!!111!!!one"
Not honest. Just disable those cloud features, besides, the simulations should happen on our computers because there's no way that's even fucking cost effective in the long run.
Cities Skyline was super honest for what it was. It had it's flaws, but you could tell they weren't making shit up just to sell you a polished turd.
There were a lot of other problems with Sim City 5, too. I'd argue that the build spaces we're much smaller and the simulation was really shallow.
The launch date problems with Cities Skylines were all problems with simulation logic. "Corpse towns" happened because of a combination of citizen lifespan logic and traffic logic.
But the truth behind that is that there is some pretty sophisticated simulation logic under the hood. Citizens have lifespans! They age and die! Traffic is actually trying to get from point A to point B!
Whereas in SimCity 5, the behavior of Sims was abstracted into rules that made it more like a puzzle game than a simulation. For example, Sims in SimCity 5 don't have persistent homes. When a Sim leaves work, he goes to the closest available empty house. All of the utilities including water use the same congestion rules as traffic.
The simplicity of their simulation made both the small building areas and the always-online requirement questionable.
Sure. It still resulted in game breaking bugs though.
I finally met this person I've known online for like 10 years and is a ridiculous human being
It seems like her life plan is to marry a millionaire so she can be a beach bum forever
She's 40
I don't even know
That sounds like a great plan. Where can I sign up for this plan? Don't (at) me.
Southern California but also you have to be a food journalist(???) and go on a lot of international trips where you have cuddle sessions with millionaires
I cannot figure out if she's actually a journalist; she's definitely sort of trying to be but also sort of not trying that hard and getting money from her parents and her dates
She is american but has a british accent from when she was dating a swedish aristo years ago so now she's basically european and did you know that americans should work less etc etc
I'm really just disappointed that she was wearing normal clothes instead of like a dolce and gabbana jumpsuit or the sort of ridiculous outfits she describes on her blog...
That picture is like a horrifying brats doll version of Jessica Rabbit.
Based on a real human and she sings!
And then mario throws his hat on their head and forces their consciousness out of their body and he takes over like some sort of horrifying mind plumber.

Haha no, someone from my alumni blogging community. She updates a million times a day because she doesn't quite work (??) and is the subject of many many controversies/gossip on the community because her life choices make people get pretty catty and also she has a lot of really iffy opinions about all manner of subjects.

At least you could play it for 1-60 minutes.
I couldn't even connect the first day of SC5. Well, I lie, I could connect for about 10 seconds.
I think we finally were able to play a week or so later, but still it'd disconnect us after about 10 minutes.

Well the plots "connecting" wasn't really anything more than a single road going in and out right?
Oh yeah nm im thinking of another game. My bad. I do remember when they modded the maps larger in Simcity 5 though it was killing gpus too heh.
oh wait didn't they turn off cheetah speed
because it was killing the servers to have everyone run their city on 3x speed?
Meanwhile a combination folks using network monitors, disconnecting their internet while playing the game, and anonymous leaks by developers all pointed to a pretty clear conclusion:
The "online only" features were mostly DRM checks, cloud saved games, and multiplayer features (like trading utilities between cities). Intra-city simulation logic was (probably) done entirely locally.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Why did they have to drag out Pauline for a new mainline Mario when Daisy is right there. She did her time with all the sports and mario parties and some obscure character has to cut the line and get the spotlight.
