I have waited almost 2 decades for this, but as I read this I can barely be excited for it. Creative Assembly absolutely needs this to go well. But, with the way they have steered their engine and its gameplay, I think they may be doomed from the start.

Pretty sure I kept crashing my PC back in the day by trying that lmao

Actually, please don’t. It’s Lemmy and we need all the users we can get

Personally, I think very few people in life are truly independent and never need help or assistance with something. As far as thriving, I know way more people that are struggling with something like their finances, health, or something else.

I think most people either get lucky early on and their lives generally go well, or they don’t get lucky early in life.

Edit: As a child, I thought life was hard but ultimately a good experience if you put in the work and did the right things. As I got older, I realized that my life is mostly bleak but with some good experiences throughout.

I see this behavior everywhere on the internet, and I truly believe people become like this the more chronically online they are - whether they realize it or not.

If they jump, how will HR know when to adjust his punch and how to adjust payment and benefits for dying on the clock at the end of the pay period? Best to clock out and submit the timesheet first /s

Too late, I studied Finance and National Economics and work in Logistics. Space and evolution are my biggest interests outside of that, though

I feel like seeing life before it had been through so many evolutionary shocks would have been neat

Finde ich richtig gut, ja

So many don’t understand this. When someone is depressed in such a way, it isn’t uncommon to have already reached a point where you’re just going through the motions of living life. It isn’t that you don’t want help or don’t want to be better, but that so much has already been attempted and very little, if any of it, actually contributed to a lasting positive mental state. This is where serotonin and dopamine deficiencies come in, where people who are depressed to have the inability to ground themselves like the average person can.

At this stage, the help that is needed is specialized and intensive, and few people understand how to actually help and fewer still recognize if they have the resources to actually help.

Op, this is it. The franchise has been around for decades and covers many historical eras. Recently they got into fantasy and did well with it, though personally I prefer the historical titles with the dynamic dueling.

Like Dr_Nik said, battles are either RTS style that you can choose to control, let ai take over and observe the battle instead, or you can autoresolve and skip a battle entirely. The overall gameplay is similar across each game, but the mechanics and ai behavior vary wildly across titles. If you don’t like one game, pick up another and you’ll probably love it

If you think being altruistic has to be worth something to do it, then you’re not an altruistic type of person. Being altruistic means doing what one believes is right and helping others regardless of any reward or value gained or lost.

While the American Left has been shifting right for the past few decades, were you even around during W. Bush’s presidency? Progressives today want exactly what W. Bush campaigned against - proper climate policies and social / welfare safety nets.

They’re not justifying racism, they’re explaing how the US has gotten to where it is today and why people act as they do. The culture here regarding it is different compared to most parts of Europe, and people generally are trying very much to combat these issues. But as this is a deeply cultural and historical undertaking in the US, a lot of change - cultural, political, or otherwise - will happen very slowly and will not always appear progressive. Despite recent events, the US has generally - though not always - been making small steps in the right direction here. Seit du Deutsch bist, weißt du, Fortschritt ist kompliziert.

I work Logisitcs Management and manage 200+ drivers for last-mile deliveries for a large company. I don’t like the company but I take pride in my work and the projects that I manage, but I’m using it as a stepping-stone for something better in the future

lol The cats need to change snacks if they’re festering

I had some friends in Munich who were brothers, just two or three years apart. They both grew up learning British English, but one eventually participated in an exchange program in Canada while the other participated in one in Australia. When they came back, their English accents were completely different from each other - no matter how hard they tried to sound similar to each other. In the end, everyone though it was unique and kind of fun since one brother would sometimes use slang the other didn’t understand.

Point being, OP, is to do what feels natural. Ultimately, it’s your voice, but you’ll pick up certain things here and there that naturally change your way of speaking over time.

I’ll bite. I had a brother with special needs pass away a year ago next week. He was born with cerebral palsy, was blind, nonverbal, totally dependent on caretakers (myself, my siblings and mother, his nurses) for literally everything since he didn’t have functionally-independent motor control. We were told he’d live to 10, and he lived to 29; he was a bundle of joy and loved going out when he could. People would stare and kids would ask questions, but we loved sharing his story and my brother liked when people were curious about it.

But, his health started declining in 2014. He had several close calls, and we told doctors each time to try their best with the circumstances they were given. On more than one occasion, his nurses or our mother would actually be with the doctors during hospital stays to assist with him since he was case they didn’t have much experience in and didn’t want to make his issues worse. That said, he had a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) since he had a trache, and was brittle enough to die from chest compressions.

I prepped for my brother’s death countless times over 8 years. We all did. When he passed, we were so obviously distraught. But we were also relieved, in a way, that he wasn’t in pain anymore in the end. We let out our emotions that had been stored for those years, and the grieving process is still continuing. We all put our lives on hold to help him, and he just became our lives; our goal simply was to make him comfortable and let him know he was loved, knowing we couldn’t realistically do more. We spent years watching him in pain, watching him gradually lose his fervor and personality.

If you read this far, thank you. Not really sure what else to say, I just want to share this since it’s occupied my mind a lot.

TLDR; Preparing for the worst outcomes, coupled with grief, over prolonged periods of time really disrupt your emotions and outlooks. Needless to say, my family became stronger proponents of state-assisted suicide after this experience. It couldn’t be granted to my brother, but maybe we can help people in the future that coupd really use it. People understand, but not nearly as many are truly empathetic because they can’t be - they’ve never been through a similar experience. I simply ask that people try to be sympathetic rather than to pass judgement on others.

I have bad knees, but if you say so

Yeah lmao hardcore mode is no joke in the early game
