I almost forgot about SimEarth. For some reason I was allowed to play it in grade school computer lab. I wish they would remake it so I can recreate my sentient cephalopod uprising, except with graphics that aren't complete ass.

I never played SimLife. But no, Spore is really not like SimEarth at all. As the other person said, Spore is disappointingly shallow on all levels.

I'm guessing this is intended for actors, not the general public.

Someone should get this chart as a full body tattoo. Please report back; I'll be waiting.

Does it have to be set in America? I'd think the genre could work almost anywhere with technological cities.

Ha, I had one and it's what first came to mind too. Pretty useless.

While I don't appreciate the undocumented stealth moderation (particularly where I named the place in the photo), my other deleted comment was super rude and definitely broke rule #1. I was out of line, so better that it's gone.

Sorry WarmSoda, you didn't deserve the hostility. Carry on, and may you avoid future asteroids.

Yeah you're right. I was in a foul mood and shouldn't have commented. Sorry 😞

I'll just put it straight: Your meme is old and sucks and you're being an unnecessarily defensive little bitch about it.

Maybe not on this instance but I tend to browse "everything" (not just "subscribed") since the Lemmyverse isn't that big.

EDIT: Here's a previous one. https://lemmy.ml/post/17286836

Also you should totally go there, it's pretty cool IRL :)

How many times is this gonna be posted? This is the 4th or 5th time I've seen it this week.

P.S. It's literally called Meteor Crater. Or Barringer Crater if you wanna pay homage to the guy who spent a fortune fruitlessly mining for iron that got vaporized on impact.

This one is really making the c/whitepeopletwitter community title seems extra ridiculous.

Especially if you light the 151 on fire first.

It's literally called Meteor Crater.

Worth a visit too BTW. Really makes you feel like an ant.

Oh I didn't realize the new Tool video had dropped.

Excuse me, that's the weed patio. The hookah goes on the porch.

Sir, we just received a strange signal from the direction of Andromeda. We think it's some kind of natural harmonic resonance, perhaps even a message.

It worked pretty well to stop HAL 9000.

For me the fun is learning to be more like Geralt. When I start as a player I don't have those instincts, and the progression of collecting more recipes and ingredients and learning what exactly I need to prep for the monster around the corner is an interesting challenge and good feedback loop. I don't want the game to do that for me, it would be too much like autopilot.

That's somewhat hyperbolic, though it's a worthy concern. I live in the US and none of my encounters with police have been like that whatsoever, but then again I'm white and midwestern and not financially underprivileged. I've seen cops thoughtfully de-escalate or give genuine selfless help firsthand.

I would still say ACAB, but that's moreso due to the very abusable powers and excessive undue protections that political states give them. It's a systemic problem, but not proscriptive of individual encounters.
