Heh! I remember getting shit about this early in my career because of a 3-star commit, because wtf is wrong with someone who needs a pointer to a pointer to a pointer?

But it wasn't; it was the address of an array of strings. Because C. It was the most straightforward solution, which I maintain to this day (some 20 years later).

(In my co-worker's defense, it probably had no comments. That part was on me.)

I have this map, and we spent a LOT of time pondering it when we were making Civilization 3! (I was lead programmer on it way back when.)

Hey, I love the recent UI update! Thanks so much!

Looking forward to this change! I am constantly switching to the wrong piece by clicking on the piece I want when it's already selected.

Another thing that would help me is if it showed a ghosted image of where the piece will be before I place it (like Starcraft, Age of Empires, and a million other games do). If you had that, I would never place the wrong piece accidentally, or accidentally in the wrong place.

Great game, really fun!

This book sent me into a four-year-long depression and existential crisis.

Best book I ever read. I guess.

It builds on the Peace War, and I'd read that first. (But also, both books are fairly short, much smaller than Fire Upon the Deep.)

But maybe with proper pathfinding and better terrain generation? :)

Strong +1 for the Waking Up app. (I also ready the Waking Up book, and found it to be quite hit-or-miss for me. But the app is just wonderful.)

Not disagreeing, but it's also correct on some levels.

Thank you!

My forties were _so far away_ in my teens, like impossibly far away. But on this side of it, it really doesn't seem like all that long ago.

Time isn't the same over here.

I don't know if qnt's suggestions are the right ones for you or not (that's for you to decide), but you know what?

I believe in your ability to make a better life for yourself.

You can do this.

Same thing for fossil fuels, CFCs, and leaded gasoline, right? Turns out they were fine all along.

It's true, but I don't think this has anything to do with decriminalization. Covid and the months of protests and Portland becoming a target for Proud Boys and the like, those are what destroyed downtown. (AFAIK, the rest of Oregon hasn't been hit in the same way at all. Even the rest of Portland is still pretty cool.)
