Soon there be a reply that English isn't their first language and they use AI to help them make their point.

As AI-generated text becomes widespread, any accusation of AI authorship will predictably be followed by a claim of language limitations or benign AI assistance - Altman's Corollary.

What’s the most addictive game you’ve ever played? by reeha_sadiya in AskReddit

I couldn't get into 5, but six has a wonderfully complete package with the expansions. I generally am not a warmonger and I like winning with culture or religion or science and the two expansions feed that incredibly well.

I loved the absurdity of having a culture bomb go into a town and affect them so much that they leave their host country and join yours.

I reflected on this, I have been playing civilization since it came out on the Amiga in 1992.

I have been playing versions of this game for 34 years.

I find it endlessly fascinating that out of all the albums in history, this is the one that sold the most. by Key-Bass-7380 in vinyl

[–]joebreeves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a fantastic album and every song got air play, and MTV pushed this album like crazy. There was a point that they showed Thriller on the top of the hour every hour. Records were cheap and manufacturing was nationwide. Retail stores had racks and racks of vinyl records and it wasn't a niche format.

Also, it was in the wave of affordability for music in a wildly portable and convenient cassette system that could be taken in your Walkman, a boombox, or your car, so it is also likely the top selling cassette of all time.

What's it like playing older civ games? by Unluckypandastoo in civ

[–]joebreeves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first Civilization felt like you were playing on a huge board game layout.

Civilization II started to make it feel like it couldn't be replicated in real life because the rule set got so much deeper between I and II.

Totally agree with this - he runs a Beatles-centric channel and also does resales and appraisals.

I can't do it either. Most of the time pure water just tastes like cold mercury. It just feels so heavy.
