Well whatever was the most important part was also bad. He didn't need to look just like OJ. But part of OJ is this enormous cocky presence that CGJr just can't have.

There was a miniseries about OJ Simpson and the trial and everything. They cast Cuba Gooding Jr as OJ Simpson. OJ Simpson has a square jaw, broad shoulders, tall athletic. CGJr is small, round, narrow, high pitched, etc. CGJr doesn't even look like he could be OJ's little brother. No idea how he got that part.

Look up bone conduction headphones. I think Shox is the main brand. I bought them since I ride a bike a lot so earbuds would mess with my situational awareness. You hear everything around you which is the best and worst part about them.

You weren't lying. I was looking for "knowledge" games similar to Animal Well and Outer Wilds and I saw some reviews making the comparison. Tbh, I was a little underwhelmed at first. I thought it was a good game but it didn't feel like what I was looking for. But the back half really opened it up. Figuring out the mountain door puzzle was like a jaw on the floor moment. By the end I had several pages of graph paper with notes and sketches.

Personally, I don't think switching your OS "as a protest" is a good idea. Bill Gates is so obscenely wealthy that your protest will have literally zero impact. Not "very small" impact; actually zero. As in, the whole world could abandon all Microsoft products and Bill Gates would still be able to live exactly as he did before. It's not worth your mental health to let his actions have that level of control over you.

All that said, you should switch to Linux because it's a better OS (as long as it does what you need).

I went bike camping with some friends last fall. The campground had a bunch of MTB trails around it and we had to ride them to get groceries. 2 of the guys were riding Surly Steamroller fixed steel bikes. We rode black diamond trails with groceries. The dudes with eMTBs that they brought on the back of a truck must have been confused.

Just started tunic tonight. Good timing

I'm not sure how serious your comment is but anyway...what you're describing is a decades-long reorientation of military doctrine and procurement strategy. Getting a different multi-role fighter is already a huge expense with lots of ramifications but no need to throw the baby out with the bath water.

Edit: IMO, if you really wanted to alter air force strategy to deter the US, you should look to Sweden and Finland who have been facing an asymmetric threat for decades. Aquire the Gripen, train with the Swedes in how to run and operate a distributed air force of small independent units capable of generating and performing missions from random roads in the woods.

Disclaimer: I have no qualifications or really any business talking about this...

I think games aren't the best kind of projects for open source. Some games are made open source after development ends which is cool because it opens up forks and modding (pixel dungeon did this). Most games require a single, unified, creative vision which is hard to get from an "anyone can help" contribution style. Most open source software are tools for doing specific things. It's almost objective what needs to be done to improve the software while games are much more opinionated and fuzzy. So many times I've seen a game's community rally behind a suggestion to address a problem and the developer ignores them and implements a better idea to more elegantly solve it. Most people aren't game designers but they feel like they could be.

An exception to this are certain, rules-based puzzly games. Bit-Burner is an open source hacking game with relatively simple mechanics and it works well.

Collapse of civilization is right around the corner.

I wouldn't be so sure. History is filled with examples of power grabs that endured for generations.

I used to live in Japan and I had an in-line gas water heater. Outside the bathroom and kitchen was a thermostat for the hot water. I just set the temp for a good shower and blasted the hot water. It was bliss. America really needs to catch up with Japan in bathroom tech in general.
