I'm having the same issues too. I've even had the scenario of writing a long comment on a thread and getting error-ed away once I hit "Add comment". I don't know why it happened, but it certainly made me stop using kbin for the rest of the day. 😅

It hasn't fully discouraged me though. I remind myself that it's early days so it's going to have a bunch of hiccups along the way.

Honestly, same. I don’t even know all the options yet, wanted to keep the suspense.

Prince of Persia trilogy could work. It's more linear than assassin's creed so it could offer a change of pace.

I mean, AI can be used to design a lot of robust yet efficient structures. In engineering and architecture, with enough data, AI can generate designs for buildings, and parts that are not only sturdy but can be built with less resources along with other design considerations. There's a really cool nasa video where competitors are trying to 3D print structures for habitation in space.

AI is also used in medicine to come up with new protein structures to create new medicine. It's also used in environmental sciences, to help predict earthquakes or monitor land use, etc.

There's a lot of practical uses for AI.

If I remember correctly, "have got to" is more informal than "have to". So yeah, it's cleaner/more grammatical.

I think most people use the "got" as a extra word to emphasize urgency in day to day conversation. So in that way, it's useful?

For music I tend to use Spotify's similar artists feature or have the Youtube rabbit hole take me somewhere new. Sometimes I'll even find new music from other media; like if I'm reading a fanfic and the author posts the song they were listening to when they wrote it, sometimes I check those out.

For books, it's usually word of mouth, and for a games, a mix of that as well as reviews from people and a perusal through Steam Sales. I'm not too big on movies though, I just let my loved ones drag me into what they want to watch and they tend to have good taste. For TV shows, I let spontaneous mood choose for me.

I think it's a matter of content type. We have a lot of links to interesting articles or pictures of memes with no additional input from the poster. Those make me less inclined to comment. I just tend to upvote/boost and move on.

I think for more discussion/opinions, people need a spring board to jump off of.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

-Dune, Frank Herbert

I didn't really like the book, but that quote stuck out to me.

Base building games sound like they could work for you, Terraria, Frostpunk, Don't Starve. If you want something even chiller, you could go for games like Stardew Valley or My Time at Portia.

There's:

• skribbl.io it's a draw and guess game, kinda like charades.

• Transformice was also pretty fun. They have a steam version of the game now, I don't know if they still have a browser port though.

And microtransactions, it's on steam now.

I think when social media became more broadly adopted or even necessary for use outside of the internet. I still remember being forced to make a Facebook account to access schoolwork and notices from my school.

A lot of people were also just not taught about safeguarding your information on the internet. So when the human need to connect got more convenient, people ended up sharing whatever they thought without thinking of the consequences.
