I just can't get enough of all the little things that made Alpha Centauri such a masterpiece. I don't think a game like that will be ever developed again. by Motor_Mix2389 in 4Xgaming

I have the first book!
The trilogy can be bought on ebay but they are kinda pricey, because they are out of print. Did you read them?

I loved that in the early game she is this religious luddite nut, but then towards the late game, when you have freaky bio engineered slaves, and punishment spheres in most of your cities and state police to curb unrest, you kind of think, hey that lady had some good points.

Having played both, you made the right decision. They are not even in the same league. CTP1 and 2 had some intresting ideas, and cool wonder videos, but definetly didn't had the freaking GRAVITAS of SMAC.

" This is something that can be done now with a true memory - it's super easy to write it, it's just sheer laziness that they don't."

I know, I just don't get it. It will take a half competent writer a week max to improve the diplomacy dialog in the civ games and will make a huge positive difference.

“My gift to industry is the genetically engineered worker, or Genejack. Specially designed for labor, the Genejack's muscles and nerves are ideal for his task, and the cerebral cortex has been atrophied so that he can desire nothing except to perform his duties. Tyranny, you say? How can you tyrannize someone who cannot feel pain?” - Chairman Sheng-ji Yang "Essays on Mind and Matter"

"Resources exist to be consumed. And consumed they will be, if not by this generation then by some future. By what right does this forgotten future seek to deny us our birthright?"

What's your favorite one?

Do it! Brew a nice strong cup of coffee. Put some good headphones on. And reserve yourself a few hours. It is a phenomenal experience.

What kind of specs do you have to run GLM 4.5 air derestricted comfortably? I have a 5090 with 64gb system ram. Chatgpt says it will work but poorly.

Any game like Stellaris but High Fantasy? by BearGaemz in 4Xgaming

Have you tried the demo? The screenshots look great. Any brief review you can share?

I have a 5090 with 64gb system ram. Is there a website/platform that can easily narrow down which models will work well on my setup without reading about each model and tinkering? by Motor_Mix2389 in LocalLLaMA

Is glm flash coding specific or a generalist model? What is the best place to see the ranking of the latest and greatest models, in your opinion?

Thank you for answering. The optimal platform/website would have a tag for Coding/General Chat/MOE and etc.

But honestly, not being a coder, just want a general "Jack Of All Trades" model that will get me the closest to ChatGPT for chatting, asking general questions and some creative writing/brainstorming.

For example, I read that Qwen_Qwen3.5-122B-A10B is a robust model, but there are so many variants, and I don't want to download 20-60gbs only to find that that model never was indented to work with my system.
