The Japanese government and culture hates foreigner. Unless you or your parents have Japanese citizenship, you’re going to have a hard time.

Oh finally! I wanted a new launcher installed and have all ads removed. Now I can finally do it! Thanks for the news!!

In Taiwan, we had “day markets” where local farmers and fishers sell produce directly to you from the previous day’s harvest. Every city has at least a few dozen day markets as well. It really serves the community and not big corps.

Some veggies still have live bugs(ladybugs) on it. That’s how fresh it is.

It also cost 1/4 the cost in a corporate grocery store.

Stremio + real debrid. My 6 year old can navigate around on his own now.

They have a 3GB model that is close to 4o model

When I find bugs, I use screen capture software to repo it.

If you come to Taiwan, we are exactly the same.

You will be the first sacrifice to the AI overlord.

Yes, not giving CIV a pass. They dropped the ball here. I was just pointing out the root of the issue.

You can’t murder AI.

CIV has Mac players, but you might be overestimating with the word “lots”.

According to Steam and other sources…

Windows: Dominates the platform with approximately 96.78% of users. macOS: Accounts for about 1.30% of users. Linux: Represents around 1.92% of users.

Even if Civ has more average Mac players, let’s just say 4 times more than the Steam figures, you’re still looking at 5.2% Mac vs PC that plays CIV. Those figures would be considered a rounding error.

I think my point is not CIVs commitment to Mac players. It’s Apple’s lack of commitment to gamers. Until Apple opens up 3rd party hardware support, developers will continue to treat you and your cohort a niche segment.

I game on a PC exclusively because all games are optimized for the PC and everything else is an afterthought.

It makes sense tho.

Mac lacks 3rd party video card hardware support so why would developers try and develop for a system that the company doesn’t care about gaming.

What’s up with dumb answers to serious questions? I’m just wondering, Hey!

Why didn’t you page me back?

Where did I leave my zip disk?

I once saw a nerdy Taiwanese (Chinese) SWE and his smoking hot white girl wife and I gave him a fist bump. Bro is doing the impossible.

Another country falls for China’s scam.

It would be crazy. Syria, Iran and Venezuela depend heavily on Russia. Those regions would become more unstable, if that is even possible.

China would now border Ukraine and China would treat Ukraine as a threat since they have close ties to the west.

Russia has a UN seat. Would Ukraine just inherit it? If not then there would be some tensions.

This is just what’s on top of my head. Probably more complexities.

I’m sad for people in FL. So much misinformation and that swirl is nonstop. Ukraine should just take over Russia and then we only need to worry about China.
