  • Same. I played it for the first time like a month after release and I loved it. For me it always had good bones and the issues were surface level.

    Obviously all the criticism was correct and valid, but there were certain angle or way of playing it or event certain luck to be had that made some people really appreciate it since the very beginning and I’m lucky I was one of those. I wasn’t really too involved in the pre release hype and maybe that was the important factor to my experience, and in my opinion definitely that was the worse that cdpr did to damage the game.

    I have finished it three times and currently on my fourth run and yes it has changed and improved a lot but I have loved every single time on its own.






  • i would have said ‘no’ a little while ago but now fuck it, the people have spoken. the problem now is that he isn’t doing enough fuckery to benefit the people. supreme court declared that the president is above the law and he isn’t doing anything with that. sc did it for trump but biden could and should use it. literally send everything on the dod depot to ukraine, give unlimited funds to solar and wind, forgive every loan and shoot modafukin steve bannon in the face

    That would be the logical thing according to common sense and probably according to pichai a few weeks ago, but trump just nominated an anti big tech and musk friend to the FCC. musk is behind almost everybody in ai and autonomous cars so he’ll definitely push to hamper all competitors.

    Sure, we don’t know how far would they go or how long will musk keep having white house influence and I personally think breaking up google is now off the table, but I don’t think they will get off the hook too easily.

    So surely a very big bribe.









  • I don’t know the precise answer, but I do know this:

    1. Often the kind of measures that are about something vast and complex (like population for example) are really good approximations, not completely exact numbers. So maybe doesn’t matter because the number itself is not trying to be 100% accurate.
    2. As far as I know those measures are made from the top down view, like with airplanes or satellites, so no it would not include inclines. To include inclines in a precise way it would have to be measured each one on the spot, which is not the way that is done. There are almost no field surveyors these days, again, as far as I know. And to include inclines in an approximate way takes us to point 1 again so it wouldn’t matter much if there were a small difference.
    3. Why would we do that? Almost everything we use land for requires it to be horizontally flat, so we flatten it. For example, an irregular coastline doesn’t matter because we can use the crevices and irregularities to fit in more boats or ports or beaches, since the sea is horizontally flat and that is what really matter to us. But if there’s a hill with a greater area because of the steepness of it we cannot fit more houses or warehouses of streets. We have to flatten it first so we gain noting from it being inclined.

    So form my point of view it would be almost as if we tried to include the sides of a ravine or gorge in the measure just because technically it is area space.

    Sorry if I cannot give you an exact answer, but I wanted to comment because you raised an interesting point that made me think.

    Cheers.
