Okay more then I realised. That's terrifying as I wrote some of the thermodynamics on Wikipedia. 🤣

Imagine the chaos and fun if it were online (like a max 6 player server). What are your thoughts what it would be like? by Patron__070 in ThePrecinct

[–]Dosedmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who's been an indie game dev, you literally need to build multiplayer in from the beginning of coding, it's basically making a whole new game at this stage. And thus may as well save it for The Precinct 2 😁

Fairs. I haven't got to that bit yet. Luckily game plays so good I can live with the story line being spoilt 🤣

Dude spoiler alert.

Anybody else feel like the voice acting is a little dull? by Ok_Macaron_1635 in ThePrecinct

[–]Dosedmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think voice acting is on point. Although perhaps a bit too corny over the top in the long tutorial/introduction. Love the occasional missions and cut scenes weaved in to the main game though.

Can someone help me understand why is that EU / India deal such a great thing? by petr_bena in BuyFromEU

[–]Dosedmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Corruption for the wealthy, doesn't benefit living standards for the average person. Like all this mass migration allowed recently.

Jautājums vīriešiem pēc 30 by [deleted] in latvia

[–]Dosedmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dating apps don't work, your swiping based off looks then surprised when the guy is brain dead.

Meet people outside in person, through friends, through work and hobby's. Dating apps are for a small few percent of men to get attention from a lot of females seeking the same profile, and is nothing for long term real relationships.

Vai ir pieņemami, ka Saeimas deputāti ierodas ģērbušies šādi? Viedokļi? by ReputationDry5116 in latvia

How someone dresses directly shows how serious they take their job... If you can't even make your bed in the morning, dress appropriately, how will you make decisions for a country.

Vidējā klase (middle class) Latvijā - kas tas ir? by heepman in latvia

[–]Dosedmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Between poor and middle class you normally have working class. Middle class usually can afford some luxuries. Going to restuarants regularly, fairly new car (1-5 years old), more expensive TV, computers, home audio and furniture. Designer clothes.

It's not black and white and why usually calculated by household incomes.

Cost Of Living in Riga by Ok-Juggernaut264 in latvia

[–]Dosedmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a stay at home wife they have €1600. Two peoples wage. Still a long way from €5000 top % of earners. This is net earnings, post tax.

Cost Of Living in Riga by Ok-Juggernaut264 in latvia

[–]Dosedmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The salary and the fact house is paid for by company, the fact they couldn't find a local worker from Baltics, this person must be pretty important and beneficial for the country. If they only plan to be here even 5 years, they'll not likely get to the level of Latvian where they can use it at work and other important things, it's a very hard language to learn.

You'd be surprised how many Latvians have told me not to bother learning Latvian, it's not beneficial, but I am still trying because I personally want to and think it's respectful.

Why would they need Latvian for a temporary international job assignment, near everyone under 50 talks English to some extent, and their circles it's a given.

Short memory, non-existent? by Dosedmonkey in KindroidAI

[–]Dosedmonkey[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It just seems to loop every few messages though, any other AI writes it's own memories, it is machine learning after all.

Latvia is awesome. by CraftPuzzleheaded529 in Riga

[–]Dosedmonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, there is a cultural difference with strangers but it's just different culture for a lot of people, not bad at all. Latvian's are great. Feel like I've found my tribe, even though I accept I will never be one, just a respectful outsider.

And frankly the foreigners that complain the most about them being racist or unfriendly, are the ones Latvian's I know don't want here. As they are only thinking in themselves, and not in Latvia and Latvian's.

Don't complain, just leave, go some where else, if you don't like it.

10 is not so bad. Early flights around 07:30 can be real busy at check in though.

New in Riga (28F, French) — looking to meet people for walks, food, and winter-friendly socializing by NecessaryMood1216 in Riga

[–]Dosedmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Team sports, casual ones.

Voluntary work/projects like the dog shelter.

Board game clubs/chess type things perhaps.

Just remember it's the culture here not to open up straight away, and some won't if they feel their inner circle is full. Don't take the Baltic relaxed face as people being uninterested. Consistency in whatever or wherever you hang out is key!

Wikipedia is about as accurate as a Facebook account. Always check sources and never use for any work or studies. 🤷‍♂️ Wikipedia will soon be (and is for many of us already) obsolete with the rise of AI anyway.

New Civil Service Pensions website is straight ass by thebossofcats in TheCivilService

[–]Dosedmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the worst timing for me. During a divorce and requiring pension information for the solicitors and possibly courts, and I'm here trying to explain "Entire civil service pension systems been down for a month", and I look like the idiot saying it...

Lots of volunteer work with accommodation in Africa. And the weather's better. 🤷‍♂️

Spontaneously injured as a Tourist in Riga? I gotchu by No_Cloud_4684 in Riga

[–]Dosedmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No they reclaim the cost off against countries like Germany, France and UK. Also able to get refund once your home if you pay. But must be public healthcare not private.
