Yeah, but the question is on who verifies that they follow the law.

The discussion is about checks and balances. So what kind of checks and balances would be there?

So Watchmen watch the Watchmen?

What is to stop the one party from being captured by corporate interests?

The problem with “My First Battle” is that it looks like a very simplified version of Pokemon. You can play with those decks, but you aren’t going to be able to play a full Pokemon game with them.

If the nephew wants to play with friends, I’d look for other decks or something like Battle Academy, which will teach how to play the game but with full cards.

This is more a question regarding political organization than economic organization.

A one party state generally doesn’t provide the best checks and balances to itself.

Ask if he has a deck that he plays with.

If he does, get him some booster packs. Any recent set should do.

If he doesn’t, ask him what Pokemon or Pokemon type he likes. With that knowledge, buy him a preconstructed deck with those Pokemon in it.

It is probably something to confuse automated systems. A person could figure out their astrological sign easily by knowing their birthday. A computer attempting to brute force attack would probably be less likely to know how to answer the question.

I try not to think of them.

You need to analyze how you are currently spending money. You can’t know what to cut if you don’t know what can be cut.

Big if true.

Evangelical Christianity has absolutely been used as a political tool for the past generation.

War is the cost of challenging the status quo intentionally. It turns out a lot of people in power are willing to pay that cost.

It isn’t just the USA.

I want to be happy about it and I’ve played a city recently.

It still doesn’t address that the game is not at the level it was sold and, while they are fixing it, it is going to be a while and probably won’t be the same game advertised.

I don’t know if it is “conditioning” so much as laziness. The effort of having to learn open source software is a lot higher than programmers believe and a lot of money is spent by closed source companies to optimize ease of use above everything else.

Open source as an economic model doesn’t have an inherent motive to increase use of a product the way that the profit motive exists for closed source products. An open source model is better when pleasing existing users instead of going for new users, especially users that don’t have the technical skill to contribute to a project.

And your response is typical of open source software advocates; it is a skill issue for users to get over.

The economy and traffic are a lot more fake than the game lets on. The developers tried building in an actual housing market, but ended up having to get rid of all the landlords. There is an idea of resources being used, but it isn’t really implemented.

It might have better if the devs promised less as part of their dev diaries, but here we are. It says something that they can’t release a DLC because the game doesn’t feel finished enough to warrant a DLC.

On the flip side, open source expects users to accept bad and outdated UI. The people who need a more simplified UI aren’t the people who can make the changes.

They bit off way more than they could chew with the new game and it shows. Now, it has some good ideas that I’m happy for implemented, like upgradable buildings and base resource extraction. However, I feel like this has been part of Paradox Plaza’s problem in not having a clear design vision that has been fully vetted before going into production.

I’m sure the game could end up like Stellaris where the game is rewritten in a way to make it fun, but that is going to take some time.

I’ll put the movie as more ambitious than anything else.
