Most collecting achievements are just game filler really. The ones I find interesting are ones that, in a more free-form game, create an interesting goal to work towards.
For some of my favourites I’ve on occasion gone through the list and been like ‘Yeah that sounds like an interesting objective.’
The key for decent ones is usually that they are an achievable goal for one playthrough that act as a ‘guiding star’.
My first full Factorio playthrough was a Lazy Bastard run. The game is a lot more chill when turning off biter expansions & turning up trees slightly in the map gen.
Granted I think I racked up like 200hrs in that run, largely because I could leave the game running in the background whilst going off to study or do other stuff. Once you’re past the intial stage & have a mall set up, hand-crafting really doesn’t matter much.
There is no spoon was alright as a goal, but it also ends up being a definitive end to that playthrough (which, arguably, can be both good and bad).
Yes, particularly people with chronic physical health issues are significantly overrepresented in both depression and suicide.
Yeah, I will admit that there is a strange satisfaction to brushing off snow.
Thick frost however? That’s just torture.
the more reasonable parts of the internet

Yes, really it’s the worst of both worlds. In the western sense of the word, there aren’t any homeowners in China. They have to pay the premium of ownership for the privilege of still having a landlord that can evict them or demand extra payment without any legal recourse for the tenant whatsoever.
My current is now going on 8 years and I have no intention of replacing it. About time for a new battery tho
How is this new or original in any way!? This has been a feature in many kinds of games, for ages
The real tragedy is that of the victims who got stuck in the middle between two doctrines hell-bent on global domination.
The case of Imperial Japan is equivalent to that of Nazi Germany. A fascist regime that saw millions intentionally slaughtered and worked to death across Asia.
Here are some links for reading more about the killings related to:
Because it’s about the discussion and exchange of information & ideas, not about individuals.
I mean, $2k is about okay for a month of labour in much of the world
most of them got stuck at 1.7.10
As did I :) The few times I boot up MC it’s the same old modpacks on the same old versions.
Possibly sim cards! More and more phones have the option for e-sim, which companies seem to want to push on us.
I was thinking total, but interpret the queston in any way you like :)
To answer my own question, approximately 1900km of which:
80km on foot (if my smart watch is to be believed)
700km in car with at least one other person
1120km on my own in my car
No worries. I think the more interesting discussion that I’d like to have at some point is how a good system for immigration actually looks. It’s not a trivial problem to solve and can’t be done in isolation either. Societies are systems where everything is interlinked in one way or another.
Thanks for a well-written reply. Here’s some quick responses:
1… as mentioned the primary costs here come from increased crime which is hard to document. In high trust societies (which social welfare countries usually are) this has a disproportionately negative impact on the economy. Also, in several Scandinavian countries everyone has a right to emergency healthcare, regardless of their immigration status.
2… I believe you’re correct when it comes to countries with less social welfare such as the US, however, this isn’t the case in countries with robust social welfare systems. As recently as 2023 Denmark assessed the net contribution of migrants and their descendants on the public finances and published the results. The sum total effect of migrants was negative (-19B DKK). Per capita the average Dane had an impact of (22k DKK) per year and the average migrant (-21k DKK). Some migrant/migrant descendant subgroups were better or worse than others (best 52k DKK, worst -109k).
3… Sure, I assume this accounts for other societal costs such as law enforcement and crime?
4… See the response to #2. The taxes don’t cover the costs.
共 - here meaning “together”, “joint” or “common”
和 - here meaning peace or harmony.
The connection here is a peace/harmony/order (because peace/harmony stems from order) that comes from “together” or “joint” (rule). Hence, republicanism (as in the ruling system).
It is the literal translation of the names of the parties.
Democracy party
Republicanism party
