To give the most simple and likely reason is just so that there are a restricted set of levels. Adding a “freeplay” mode that can generate random maps is not part of the plan because that would make the regular levels look less desirable. There is also many odd quirks available with special rules. It’s not just because they did not think about generating random maps for those who finished the game. It is so that they can keep control over the game in a way that players are kept playing longer without risking burnout. They don’t want to make the game become a chore but rather a daily task/quest. Spending money to read the last level faster by getting more energy and whatnot is just a plus for them. They know that sunk cost feeling will keep those kinds of players coming back. If not, then it was unlikely the infinite freeplay would.

Off topic: Would a hobby be considered an addiction, too? How about other things we do on a daily basis? Do we draw lines? If so, where?

I’m glad we both came to an agreement 🤝

I didn’t say there are no repercussions. I said it is a safe bet on a risk that many individuals are willing to make.

Breaking the agreement does not always mean you will get in trouble for it. This is the one rule that can be risked breaking without facing repercussions.

Likely prohibitively expensive, will take a long af time to reach wider markets and most likely never pass trials

All my predictions

I’ll be very interested to hear more, do you have a blog?

If the highway increases in size, then more off ramps or more lanes in the off ramps are needed, which in turn need more lanes on the main street that connect to the off ramps. It’s basic filtration system dynamics.

Yes but I imagine this mammoth of a TV survived to the 80s for this specific person to make the generalized statement of it being a developed fear in the 80s.

As the other guy said, the only hard parts for you will be to negotiate staying on the grid or cutting off completely.

I ran all the numbers and you are paying a ridiculous price for solar. You will see it pay it self off in 50 years, which I doubt you will care about at all once you are 50 years older or giving the house to your next of kin.

Pretty sure it was the few people who controlled the amount of supply to the people who wanted the gold after taking the gold from the miners

It’s like saying automatic transmission is worse than manual transmission.

Me too, but discord also

Mine does not say that? It says “Disagree and close”

Hey, I’m autistic! I notice that if I don’t follow the group’s current propaganda fueled nonsense, I am seen as an outsider and hated for asking those hard-hitting questions. Eventually, they think I’m “inflexible” or “will not change my mind” and then say i am “supporting the other guy” or whatever. Like what is wrong with playing with a little of devils advocate to get the full picture. Sheesh

Funnily enough, this is what a chromebook was made to do. A computer that was only a browser. Unfortunately, the hardware was severely underpowered, and the custom software wasn’t as flexible as a simple Linux desktop is capable of. (Almost no software support outside of Google)

I didn’t have to work on it for just to not click through ui menus, I just had my autoclicker enabled from some reason(likely game) and just randomly thought, “I’ll use the autoclick, lol” and had some interesting stuff happen. It was entertaining and nothing about being practical.

I would turn off the auto clicker, I just had it on randomly

“Gently slides back” 😂

I promise you I have done exactly that, i had an auto clicker bound to my space bar and was to lazy to click and would just hold the space bar down when I knew that I was going to click a bunch of gui buttons.(which I though wouldnt be problem) Quickly learned some programs don’t like it at all. Lol
