I'd expect that to be the default though

He got elected by promising good leftist policies, not by trying to meet the right in the middle

One kinda counterintuitive thing is that rivers can both enable travel on a civilisation scale, and be an obstacle to individual travellers

I've been interested for a while in gameplay rivers, from the point of view of Vintage Story, which has both the necessity to travel very far, and no rivers. (And really no good way to implement them, because of minecraft-like chunk-by-chunk worldgen).

Ah, that's a magnitude larger than what was in my head. Took a look at satellite images of the English isles at a similar scale and now I think a) not this common on average b) there's a lot of variance, some places have rivers every 20ish km, while southwest of England has 'em peppered every km

giant delta shared by every river at the same time.

Yeah, direction of larger rivers make way more sense at a glance.

If you don't mind, also a note about the rivers themselves. The small streams near the coastline in the last frame of the video feel wrong. Besides the visible remains of rectangular grid, they loom like the entire coastline is a

Grudge? NMH is literally just an example of why as a developer you should be careful with your promises, and why as a consumer you should never pre-order anything. Maybe you are the weird one, projecting emotions onto others.

Ah, well that would explain it.

One approach that may or may not be too computationally expensive for your usecase is calculating a rough flow map based on elevation gradient and using it to guide rivers

At least tin the case of this specific gif, the result looks entirely unrelated to the snowy mountains, which in reality would be where many tributaries would start. This is a common issue with propagating rivers backwards from the see

It's weird to have consistent morals, smol beans are allowed to lie?
Even if they have learned the lesson, the case of NMS is still an important cautionary tale for consumers, and the fact that it is neither a rugpull, nor a ketamine addicted CEO creating value for shareholders only makes it more so

Yeah sure, it is weird to remember stuff, so let's allow corporations to lie.

AGI has been achieved internally, cigarettes are good for you, leaded gasoline has no public health implications, and global warming is not real.

Why do you think it's weird to not be forgetful about molyneuxing, marketing a game on literal lies? Sure, years down the line many of the promised features were implemented, but NMS and Cyberpunk weren't even EA titles, the latter being a straight up AAA game.

They've been doing this for a good while. At first they'd mention her, then started use a hashtag, now they stuff the entire message into display names and abuse reskeet notifications

What would the term for a flight that carries passengers but no crew be I wonder?

And what I mean by that is I really want STS to have like six or seven acts so I'd have the time to enjoy a broken deck after oneshotting act three boss

Tankies are never ever beating the "red fash" allegations.

Which is ironic given that the nazis also called themselves socialists and used a mostly red flag

Maternity wards are a valid military target, because people born there may eventually join the military we're fighting so it's not a war crime if we bomb one

"dozens of low-effort" is a literal description of my experience opening "recent releases" on steam while writing that reply. I counted about a dozen of low effort deckbulders there, a clear reaction of the slop farms to the popularity of Slay the Spire 2.

And that's all on top of the general populace literacy issues I've mentioned in another branch of this thread.

"worthless garbage. hope the devs die. (5k hours played)".

I don't know why are you so intent on disproving the point I wasn't making.

There are too many games for the discovery mechanisms we have, that put a masterpiece and an asset flip on the same shelf.
And the reviews don't help. It's either toxic-positive "10/10, amazing, no notes" or [cont.]

DLSS dynamic multi slop-gen

Waxing about "unfounded disdain" is blaming an individual for what is a deeply systemic issue.

You see "top indie games" lists where Disco Elysium is listed next to Vampire Survivors. How do you navigate that? Especially since as a CoD player, you are probably among the people whose literacy skills were impacted the most by the neoliberal gutting of education.

Have you considered what looking for an indie game to play would look to someone who's never played anything besides yearly CoD releases? Steam bombards you with low effort clones, asset flips, 10/10 masterpieces that intentionally look like low effort asset flips as a meta-commentary.
