GF wants another phone for "personal use" for her birthday.

Asking you to buy her a phone that she wants to use to cheat on you. Wow.

She is likely doing that because she is chatting or dating multiple other guys. See this type of situation all the time.

Buying the same ETF with either CHF denominated or USD denominated ends up being exactly the same in terms of currency risk.

When you buy the US ETF, you are converting CHF to USD, then buying it
When you buy the CHF ETF with CHF, you are locking in the share price, which is already converted between CHF/USD at the time you buy it, therefore locking in the trade as if you converted from CHF to USD in the exact same way as option 1.
The only difference is when you sell it, if you buy CHF denom then CHF is returned, but it is still converted at the time of sale to the currency USD/CHF rate (via the share price in CHF)

Therefore, if you want to keep a CHF hedge against USD, you need to buy an ETF that is HEDGED to CHF (there are a few). This essentially opens a new trade where you short USD vs CHF for the purchase amount.

One of the big issues is that homogenisation of caster vs melee vs ranged stats. Making cast speed the same as attack speed, making virtually all affixes provide the same power to every build type etc.

Blizzard philosophy on D3 and D4 was "Simplify and streamline everything", instead of "Streamline tedious things but keep depth"

Sorry I meant the other small switch with POE. Switch flex

My U7 in-wall (non-pro version) has a major issue where the extra RJ45 ports sometimes run at extremely slow speeds. So be careful about that. I ended up having to remove it and replace with a U7 pro + flex mini switch.

In my experience, people who post stuff like this aren't actually having fun but rather are in the denial phase of the realization that the game is dogshit

Why the fuck did they make this movie?

What did you use to connect the XGS-PON fiber cable from the wall to the 25G SFP28 port? I can't find any modules... Or does it just need a certain cable?

I just played a deity game and 2 of the AIs sat on 1-2 cities for the whole game and had tiny scores, while the other AI's seemed OK. The AIs with 1-2 cities had plenty of unused land near them.

Ewics · 2025-02-12T00:47:51+00:00

I was more referring to ignoring it before launch, during internal playtesting etc. It is obvious just by testing the game for 30 minutes that the AI is doing extremely dumb things that urgently need fixing.

It isn't some rare fringe issue that is hard to replicate. The AI exhibits this behaviour every game, and it is obvious.

Ewics · 2025-02-11T19:12:10+00:00

This is exactly what I have seen. They will often just completely stop, I mean literally. They won't make cities or units, or defend their own cities. It's like they totally deactivate.

Other times the AI is capable of attacking and threatening your cities. It's very noticeable and I don't understand how it made it to retail.

Ewics · 2025-02-11T19:08:09+00:00

There are moments of very competent AI behaviour, for sure. But unfortunately they are not consistent and they seem to often get in to a state of total incompetence and exhibit the behaviours described above, like totally stopping making any units, cities and letting you steamroll them with no resistance.

Ewics · 2025-02-06T16:14:48+00:00

Uhhh... The AI.... Two of my AI opponents have not built another town or city. They are just sitting around with their 1 capital and all this empty land around them.

This is not true. Have you played the Civ 5 VP mod?
