Got the update the other day. Immediately disabled Assistant in settings.

There will be no new features worth using, especially considering privacy concerns, until this AI craze blows over, and ultimately that’s a long way away since so many executives have more $$$ in their eyes than ever.

My main worry is how long it will take before even disabling such features on one’s own device is impossible (and yes, I’m aware that there is already only so much you can do).

It’s meant for whom, exactly?

I started my Steam account in 2004(?) because it was required to do so even though I bought the DVD-ROM version of HL2. Imagine my rage when it also forced me to update – I was on dial-up at the time.

I dont hate it. But Crises happening automagically does feel against the typical nature of Civ, where I typically prefer more random events.

It’s more board game feeling.

Didn’t they announce that there would not be a launcher? Also removed for Civ VI.

It takes a lot of under-rock living to think that what we see currently isn’t corporate greed. There is not nearly as much competition as there used to be, in any industry, including food. We have a word for it – collusion – but no enforcement against it for at least 50 years.

It’s called corporate greed.

The best local sandwich shop in my town sells really good ones for $8-11. If Subway were still $5 they might be competitive. At $14 it sounds like the company no longer understands its product.

Fucking shameful. I’m sorry world. Please know that many in the US condemn these wars, but there is very little we can do about them.
