Zomboid started as a Sims mod that has taken on its own world and systems. Imagine the Sims, but a zombie simulator with very detailed and in depth health and healing, food and drink cook, crafting, driving, etc.
They aren’t wrong that it looks like the Sims, but that also doesn’t make it easy or boring.
Yeah, forget Deadlock exists.
So just like other Valve projects, the third one is gone forever.
I think he’s also including racists and other misanthropes.
I don’t care what a plant thinks of me; it won’t change the dynamic that I’m motivated and it’s prey.
My point is that plants “think” but do so differently than meat bags. Plant cognition is more like a series of low level chemical reactions that look like thinking, but so does brain chemical squirts if we look close enough. So plants may actually be thinking using mechanisms which don’t rely on complex brain architecture because it has another method of processing that thought. Probably across the whole structure but the process is really inefficient so it takes a long time to finish compute.
Like if a super computer made the judgement of a calculator - they are both crunching numbers but there is an order of magnitude difference in how fast the answer is found. Maybe a plant has low bus speeds and crappy compute limited to simple threaded operations.
The plants are acquiring information and making an independent change to their status with this information. Books do nothing with knowledge other than communicate it to others. Machines are unable to make independent changes to itself unless programmed to do so.
They have the knowledge and are doing something about it. If other plants can send out this chemical by observing it themselves, that sounds like a reaction from a communication. It may not be cognition like we expect but it is behaving like cognition would. Hard to argue that plants don’t know or care of their friends start dying.
This movie is wild. It starts off with a boy and his talking dog like an old live action Disney movie. But it gets real dark, real fast until Topeka, at which point it turns the whole concept around and the rapist is now being raped, which seems super under examined because of the sudden revolution subplot. Again, it’s a wild ride and not for everyone, but I’m glad I saw it.
Convert it to rubles, cut the price of materiel to cost, and the end result is a bit more than that. However, Russia started this SMO with rewards and bonuses given out like the country was a tech stock at an IPO. Now they have to pay out those bonuses since it’s been 2 years and they haven’t managed to kill off every single enlisted schmuck. They are also continuing to entice more from other countries with strong currencies, requiring more signing bonus money.
Oh, and Wagner suffered some big losses this year and that will need to be patched up with whatever talent and vehicles are available. Frankly, Putin has a lot of big bills and every bit of other people’s money counts.
Russia has proven that it can’t protect weak points because the entire military is a weak point. Can’t wait to see the military parade in May.
Was it orcas? Are orcas going to start the revolution by violently suppressing the bourgeoisie?
The best way to destabilize authoritarian governments is to stop having children. Without the potential for infinite growth on the backs of the underpaid, the business class will have to be generous with compensation and down right responsible for the people working for them.
It ain’t inbreeding if it is
You can also use Wisdom for knowledge checks to blend in!
If anything, more athletes need big paychecks to more evenly distribute wealth from the top. Anything to drive that money into the hands of others.
This looks like it should be retitled “Fivehead and the Dark Lady.”
Sanctions work.
China wants to work with the Russian Navy? The same Navy that is being beaten by a country without a navy? The same Russia that no longer has a working carrier and who lost their biggest ship, a missile cruiser, to drones? China is going to be doing all the work.
