For Canadians, Environment Canada has a fantastic app called WeatherCan that includes all of the usuals, has doppler radar for all of North America with the option for a one or three hour loop.

It also includes alerts from Environment Canada for any location you’ve added and links to the marine weather forecast site.

Flip the script. Have a bunch of adventurers hired by a guild to take out a dungeon full of “monsters” goblins, ogres, etc. See how long it takes before they realize its a mall/bazaar or that the guild wanted it gone because the mall/bazaar owners refused to capitulate to the guild.

“Butterfly” is OP a bot?

That is a bird, <insert pronoun>!.

If you’ve been using the same OS and computer since Firefox’s initial release.

You need a new computer.

They’ve been trying for at least 30 years, probably closer to 50-60 TBH.

One of the concepts they(RIAA/MPAA) were looking into for the entire CD/DVD era was the idea of a time-limited disk that would only work for a short period of time before becoming unreadable.

By the time they got it working, Steam was already a thing and distribution through physical media was on the way out.

Now they control movie theaters through streaming. They stream the movies to the theaters, the theaters rarely get physical or even digital copies anymore. It just gets streamed right to the projector.

Automation and Beam NG. You can make cars in the former and it has tools to import them into the latter where you can drive them around.

I made a hot-hatch with a supercharged V6 that can go well over 300kph. Also have reproduced the Jaguar xj220 and an 1980s Camaro.

The former is insane, it’s just raw power. I fiddled with it and now it is a mid engine supercar that does wheelies when accelerating.

The Camaro is just hilarious fun though.

You can have that weather in northern Arizona though.

The closest thing we’ve had in a game to the temperate rainforests of the pacific northwest that a lot of the cowboys of the region had to fave would be the thick tropical jungles of Crysis and Far Cry.

Android deleted the word overnight. Specifically at dusk.

It’s just called wilderness, looks beautiful, arguably more deadly.

Parks in AZ on the border of Phoenix(for example) don’t have notices that cars left in the lot will have immediate search and rescue operations started to find them at dusk. Parks on the northern edge of Vancouver do.

Not a sweet spot.

Morrowind was amazing because it is a hand built world. Oblivion had the same core error as Starfield: an overreliance on procedural generation.

For Skyrim they did it right. Just the right amount of procedural generation with enough manual work that things worked out.

You can’t overlook the modding scene either. Oblivion had a great mod community with a lot of people getting into it and cutting their teeth there. So when Skyrim came out they were experts and made a lot of amazing mods, particularly framework mods.

But almost all of them are done and gone or corrupted into paid mods(e.g. Elianora, Kinggath(FO4)). So Starfield will never get a good modding scene because the core modding community doesn’t exist now.

I would like to point out that the image of the cowboy and wild west being the hot and dry southern states isn’t that accurate.

The wild west was also Oregon country, now Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Yukon and Alaska.

In the latter four, even now, if you go too far into the wild unprepared they won’t find you.

Because most wizards don’t get a remotely good education. They’re simply incapable of surviving in a muggle business world.

Muggle born wizards get to age 10 in the regular school system. They’ll have a rudimentary understanding of everything.

Then they get whisked off to wizard school where they learn magic, but apparently little to none of the knowledge muggle schooling.

It would be like if you asked a 60 year old british car journalist to go start and run a farm by themselves, they don’t understand the fundamentals of where to start.

Reddit is dumb enough that they probably have a backup they kept of EU users.

Fizban Dragonborn get a much better dragonbreath and a pretty respectable ability at level 5. Regardless of Chromatic, Metallic or Gem.

And the redone Earth Genasi get to turn any class into limited Barbarian with a bonus Group stealth bonus

Oh I got your point, but I also reject it. Google is objectively making the internet worse.

There isn’t any reasonable comparison to Apple or MS outside of they’re all too big and too unregulated.

Yup. It’s a slow process for me, but honestly the fediverse is proving a great resource for that.

As a percentage of population, so did Julius Caesar.

The reality is that Google is entirely dependent on ads and selling your data.

Apple and Microsoft, it’s just a happy side gig they can do.

Apple makes its money selling mediocre hardware and software for a premium markup.
Microsoft makes money selling Windows, Office(+Teams) and Azure to business users then from video games, then ad revenue.

You do realize that Google is far worse than Apple and Microsoft combined right?

I now need to find a way to shift out the Hermit Crab that turns into his Eldritch Cannon for a mysteriously blue Hedgehog with attitude.
