Very weird indeed. If you have a pixel, do you have the VPN enabled? I had some issues with connectivity when using their VPN.

I’ve been having some weird issues connecting to Lemmy.World in my browser since yesterday… Wonder if there’s any relation?

I think Endless Legend, also made my the Humankind devs Amplitude, was the first to introduce districts. Granted, the bones of 4x games, in general, are based on Civilization 1, at the very least.

I wish they took the neolithic era from Humankind. That’s such a cool super early game element to the game rather than ‘settle your first city ASAP or you’re screwed’.

This guy from Peewee’s Big Adventure. I figure because of a bit of resemblance to Vance.

Maybe I can help!

It’s very small by land area, but it’s 18th largest in population. That’s not large, large, but it’s also not a smaller state.

Agreed all on your second paragraph. Thankfully, at least, there’s a step in the right direction happening, belated and incomplete though it may be.

Awesome thank you so much for the pointers!

Heck yeah, this sounds fantastic. Are you able to give me any pointers in a response or DM on how to move forward with getting it all set up? My wife never had a 64 so she never got to experience the game. Ideally, we’d play it together each of us on our Steam Decks. I’ve bought All Stars or whatever it’s called on the Switch but the prospect of us playing through the game together almost like a couch Co OP experience is extremely enticing. Obviously, you’re not responsible for me figuring everything out so if there’s a good forum or even video link discussing it, I’d be most appreciative.

But… It’s your post taking about negativity, so you’re saying your post about negativity on Lemmy is evidence of negativity on Lemmy? Or the fact the current vote count is negative?

Huh. Maybe it’s the communities/posts I’ve visited but I wouldn’t agree with your assessment of an inherent negativity/hatefulness. Do you have examples we can discuss?

I don’t know the answer to that, exactly, but I see shit loads of people with Android phones using air pods.

My kids termed that cinnamon bunning. :D

The one from the 50’s, good as it was for the time, is now overshadowed in the popular consciousness by Carpenter’s. Ironically, it seems like the former did quite well at the box office whereas the latter bombed and only over time has it grown in popularity.

Beeper Mini, I can agree the reason for existing is stupid. Not Beeper as a whole. I greatly like having a one stop shop for all of my messaging platforms. It’s a straight up fucking pain in the ass to have Messages, Messenger, Whatsapp, Discord, Telegram, LinkedIn, and more all having their own specific applications with separate lists of people in them. Gaim/Pidgin/Trillian/Adium had the right idea back in the day and if it isn’t done at an application level like Beeper, then I would really like it done at an OS level where all apps of a communication/chat type have their notifications and interactivity bundled. There’s going to be platform exclusive features that don’t have parity that wouldn’t be able to be part through or presented the same, but communications are such a base level function of these devices and the generally one-application-at-a-time type of display of phones makes the balkanization of communication mediums even more annoying.

Nauru is all sorts of fucked up because of their history as a colony leading into mass extraction of their natural resource then leading to them doing a lot of shady shit to maintain their solvency. Granted this is a little bit old now so I may be out of date and I’m no geopolitical expert.

I found the mind share that Apple enjoys makes this kind of inverted when things don’t run right on OSX or iOS whereas android is more in the Windows boat.

Excellent choice. The dubbed version, done of course by first year theater actors, would make it even worse.

Stay safe.

Well, there existed phones that were kind of what smartphones became. Blackberries and Palms get a lot of the attention as they were what executives used, but there were also PocketPC devices that were usually white label manufactured HTC devices that were branded after carriers or some other company like HP. They generally were much larger screened devices with a few buttons at the bottom. They were resistive touchscreens so using your fingers was pretty meh for responsiveness, and the UI was just not designed in a way that was pleasant to navigate. Picture a shrunk down desktop interface. I’d say the UI was the biggest shakeup that they did in the product category, followed by steadily raising the bar for hardware in a space that often would have cheap plastic components. Don’t get me wrong, I think too much glass and aluminum is actually poorer than something like kevlar especially for dents and dings, but it doesn’t look nearly as sexy.
