You can’t afford it now. This tech is going to be something people can do in their sheds within a decade.

This is insane. Right now I’m reading The Coming Wave by Mustafa Suleyman (formerly of DeepMind) and I’d been a bit concerned that he was all hype, but giving humanity a 45-fold increase in materials we know about? That’s enormous. The future is going to be a crazy place.
Hoplite maybe? It’s on mobile but is a lot of fun.
I set up a play-money prediction market on whether this would happen, and it doesn’t look like many people have faith in Musk to pull this one off.
You are aware of the British slang word “muffed”, right?
I’ve not finished it yet due to limited gaming time but it’s clearly not that long. It feels like it should have some replayability but I don’t think it’s very unreasonably priced. Probably not ideal if you’re looking to squeeze every hour of entertainment out of your dollar though.
Terra Nil is mentioned in the article but I must give it a recommendation, it’s very chill and restoring a wasteland or ruined city to a thriving ecosystem is a great counterpoint to building a bustling city.
Sounds like a problem for people from Reading (UK).
I had a second gen one, and it suffered less than the first, but definitely did suffer as it aged.
I loved mine, but sitting a year or two the flash memory had degraded to the point it was completely unusable, even just as a digital photo frame.
The small tablet market is still underserved today, I’m running an iPad mini, which is great, but it’s definitely a second-class citizen compared to the bigger iPads.
Was this game named by a Bojack Horseman character?
Embrace mobile gaming. Especially the classic Nintendo handhelds. I can rock my baby to sleep and play Pokémon Ruby on my GBA at the same time. Embrace RPGs and other games where reaction times don’t matter. If I’m sat in a chair with a sleeping child I can even play a game where reaction speed matters, like Tetris.
Get a flash cart so you don’t have to switch games or carry a library of carts with you. Keep it in your car for play if you’re out a lot. Oh, and get a decent modern screen mod so you can see the screen outside.
I think most companies are actively against public suggestions. If they do something like what you suggest, they may be liable for paying you for that idea. But if they’re already working on something like your suggestion, and then you suggest it, then they either have to pay you for an idea they already had, or risk you taking them to court and having to spend time and lawyer money on proving they owe you nothing.
The only justification I’ve ever been able to think of is Pokémon. The idea is supposed to be that every Pokémon is unique but there’s actually only a limited set of variables to define each individual ‘mon. I can trade you a Zubat I just caught and it can be identical to one that I first caught in Fire Red twenty years ago and have traded through every game since.
If each Pokémon was truly unique and on the blockchain, it could be meaningful in ways they currently aren’t. There could be only one Coalossal that Wolfe Glick won the Player’s Cup with. He could trade it away for charity and someone would pay for it. I could trade Pokémon away and track them as they’re traded around the world.
It’d be cool. But it would not meaningfully make the game more fun. And it’s Nintendo so they’re never going to do blockchain. And that is the best pitch I can give you.
Portal and Portal 2 must be on this list. If you’ve never played then, you must. It is that simple.
This is very useful and I’ve added a few communities from this already, so thank you.
If you are taking feature requests, I would ask for the ability to filter out communities with zero posts, as it seems like some lemmys have gone nuts with creating communities that nobody is using yet.
A share link to e.g. a Mastodon instant post that was already created? Some future “share from my Mastodon instance” tor functionality that doesn’t currently exist? That’s just speculation though, I was trying to cover my bases and I’m really not sure on how something like that could work on a technical level.
Edit: TBH I expect those site-specific Share links to die off over time, as Facebook becomes more cringe it’ll look more dated to have their logo on every article on a news site.
I’d heard lava tubes pitched as one of the more straightforward ways of building a moon base, fascinating to learn that this would actually be a return to form for human dwellings.
Humans: we just like living in lava tubes.
