Just spit balling here, but they probably tune the AI for different thresholds between return and rent out so that they can rake in the damage fees for things that “weren’t there” during the first AI scan.

Bold of you to assume this means they are hiring more workers…

I generally reframe it from a perspective even they think they understand: Money.

Governments want their money. Less Population = Less Taxes for them to take, ergo, no government is trying to lower their population. And do they, the audience, think that the government is willing to have less money?

I don’t think so!

The people who made fun of you won’t be laughing when they share 50% of the blame during the damage claim phase of an accident.

I think it did have an early access period at some point. I also seemed to have the backer DLC, which gives a little boost to resources and a weapon for the early game.

I’ve been playing through Black Skylanda lately.

I originally put it down because the top-down perspective was a bit jarring, but have been having fun taking down sky pirates both on land and in the air since I’ve picked it back up.

So far the upgrade paths and the currency gain for those upgrades have been mostly on par with each other, so I haven’t felt the need to grind mats for anything. I can rescue a stranded pilot or two, liberate an island, and carve out a new parking location for my big ship all in one sitting, which makes it feel as though just about anything I do is progressing something.

Looking forward to more!

I haven’t been able to play much lately due to work, but I did manage to squeeze in some time to 100% Digseum.

I’ve loved the little genre of 'dig up buried artifacts ’ since it was a mini game back in Pokemon Diamond & Pearl, so it was nice to see again.

The last few Amber alerts I’ve gotten required an app Formerly known as Twitter account to get any additional details…

So I guess all of those unsupervised PPP loans that were forgiven were a nice feather in the Democratic hat, then, huh?

I haven’t played the third one co-op yet, unfortunately so I can only assume that it holds up like the second one does.

Nine Parchments - Top down Magic slinging romp. Similar to the Majica series, but with less knowing how to do certain key-press combos.

Orcs Must Die 2 - 3rd person tower defense where you place traps and use spells and weapons to take down foes. Continues the story of the first game, which did not have multiplayer, unfortunately.

Children of Morta - Top down dungeon crawler. Take on the roles of a family trying to hunt down an ancient evil. Like the Belmont’s of Castlevania fame.

Full Metal Furies - Top down action fighter. Fight the Titans as some of the last remaining survivors of Ragnarok. Fun dialing with a good-sized world map to explore.

Astroneer - 3rd person survival crafting on a randomized planet. Cute component designs and a unique air management system. Plays best with a mouse & keyboard.

Deep Rock Galactic - Space Dwarves Corporate mining simulator. You and up to 4 friends drive do into infested planetoids in order to make some Gold. Destructible terrain and shenanigans.

Especially when one of the loudest religions actively want to doom the world so that their sky daddy can show everyone else how right they were this whole time…

More like a show based off of a random super-soldier script they bought that they slapped the Halo logo on and hoped nobody would notice.

The phrase itself doesn’t matter, they are just listening for some indication of human speech at the start of the call.

If nothing is said, then the system believes that it is a machine doing the same thing.

Provided, of course, that their spam system doesn’t just starts playing a recorded message anyway.

Iirc, that’s usually a sign that the robot caller has found a machine on the other end, since most people first respond with some sort of greeting right off the bat.
