  • Welcome to Greece! No, not our modern Greece, the old timey write philosophical questions into the dirt with sticks and argue with your best homies about it kind of Greece!

    Want to compute something? Hope you got all your steps in linear order so you don’t have to remember too much in between other steps!

    /s (but not really so I totally am on your side, original formulations of math problems are a pain…)





  • Uff this started out for me as being “easy! Minecraft, Factorio and a third one!”

    And then quickly and only devolved into an abyss of deliberation…

    • Do I take EU4+DLC+Anbennar because then I would finally have an excuse to actually learn and play this damn game? (Plus having base game and Anbennar basically doubles the replayability)
    • Do I take VintageStory so I can finally learn to actually play it well and start creating meaningful mods for it?
    • Should I take Noita or Caves of Qud? Should they be replacements for DF?
    • Is either of Civ V or Civ VI replayable about for me for this much time?

    And from there the more basic questions:

    • Does any of the three games need to be entertaining enough to basically always run or could/should it suffice to simply rotate between them?
    • How much time would I reasonably want to spend playing vs creating?
    • Also am I allowed to spend some time basically daydreaming every day (aka the games are meant more to actually keep me sane rather than get people to recommend good games they have given thought and time to?) or should they/would I want them to keep me occupied basically 15/7?

    So yeah, Minecraft probably still stands as there are way too many mods and building ideas for it to (probably?) become truly stale in a lifetime!

    And Factorio because I still want to actually finish an AB run for once, or a SE run, or … You get the idea. Buut the third slot would likely be a make or break for this whole endeavor and now it’s back to square one again!











  • Whaat‽ You mean auto downloading and executing foreign JavaScript in a users webpage from some server/CDN I might not even know myself as an ad company could be an attack vector? Never!

    (This mostly for those people who may not know that some [most? Dunno don’t have a source for this] ad networks literally allow advertisers to inject small chunks of html into pages for “more interactive/better ads”!!)
