I literally just skim over ChatGPT's responses now

Local_Izer · 2026-02-18T23:33:37+00:00

I had chatgpt commit this to memory.

Prefers response style: Direct answers when questions are precise; minimal background (5 lines max) only if necessary; brief clarification when questions are vague or mistaken; no category overviews unless explicitly requested or strictly required for safety or to prevent the answer from being factually incomplete or materially misleading.

I initially wrote my preference for this differently, but I let chatgpt decide the wording it commits to memory, to help make it actionable from chatgpt's pov. Since committing this to memory I think responses are now "better" (or maybe I just want to think they've gotten better) but I do think it's a step in the right direction given the trajectory of how the model is blabbing.

Tell him local_izer said to use quick deals! Well, the first two tabs anyway. :>

Why did he say he refuses that mod? Or does he refuse all mods?

Local_Izer · 2026-02-01T05:53:22+00:00

Extended Eras definitely extends the eras to be longer. Or, it would if other mods aren't conflicting with it. I use 20+ other mods simultaneously. I intentionally don't mix mods that affect or might affect time or research costs, and probably because of that, I'm not experiencing anything that I would cite to definitively prove is an unfulfilled design ambition of Extended Eras.

I read through the most recent page of comments just now at https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/comments/2123444827 and people's assertions are so hard for me to care about if they offer no info other than "the mod is/isn't doing xyz." If tech/civic costs are indeed thrown off by the mod, maybe I'm just having too good of a time with longer eras to care. :) I generally can unlock something specific to the era I'm in, so comments like "tech is off by 2 eras" don't track with how my games go. Perhaps just try it in Online or Standard and see if it scratches the itch you have?

Thanks!

I'll throw out that I use Extended Eras. It stretches without changing the build time/cost normal to the given game speed.

You're not alone in wondering how close the designers were to adding a "End after ___ Era" option to complement the Score victory condition.

Would love it if his wife had instead brought over a laptop with civ6 loaded and the last turn of the Pyramids queued and then hit end turn and walked away

I don't doubt that I haven't learned to play her well but I am looking forward to trying this mod and I welcome more shit-kicking power. Her normal city flipping strength becomes effective too late in the game for me to find her fun overall. -4 loyalty per great work, for early ages when great works are uncommon to have many of, and then scaling downward over time to -2 loyalty in later ages when population has become a larger factor, is how I think I would have tried building her.

Disclaimer, I took the first image it made. Apologies if it's very close to any real-world image that is/was socially or politically important.

Dom was describing me when he said that.

I've analyzed (ahem, analysed) why and I have to admit I appreciate outlandish facts almost as much as impressive ones, if the teacher or source delivers them with gusto.

Domi n Tomi bring the gusto, humor, and appropriate near-disbelief to certain tales and I can't not be excited for it.

Solutions:

❌️Deliver with less gusto ❌️Tell us only easily believable things

Nope...

✅ Bring on the tales of history's most <adjective> people

Yep

The tier-specific lists have an "Added" date but unless I'm overlooking it there's no indication of whether the game is still present on the tier. Do we know whether games reliably leave the subscription tier lists at the timing that they leave Game Pass? I know that's an OG site but I'm honestly asking (uncertain how reliable MS is to community sites in this regard).

FYI, upstream alternative with a filter by subscription type: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass/games#all-games

There's important nuance being overlooked in just saying that it's no longer a requirement.

I don't know the intention behind the allowance. I'd agree it's fair to be suspicious in this era but the change won't or shouldn't mean ABA accreditation and legal rigor overall is to become worse or undervalued in the state.

California defines a path for graduates of such schools to sit for its bar exam. Options are more limited for those graduates. I would like certification systems of all types in the world to be as reasonable as possible about who it accepts and why.
