Heavy influence from Fahrenheit 451 as well

I’ve also posted it to some tech communities and yeah, it’s mostly slop writing and likely slopped graphics

Self hosting for things I care to keep around, streaming to get new download ideas and for stuff where hosting everything would be too much.

For movies and shows I find myself some Linux ISOs.
Music, I get from Bandcamp if available and if not, there are very good Tidal downloaders out there. Tidal also doubles as my “I want to check out this song” service.

No, works fine for me

They’re absolutely collaborating with the US insanity

I just use it as a unified fronted to play music on my office speakers. I have Jellyfin, Tidal and Bandcamp connected as providers.

In my experience the “play on this device” option isn’t very reliable, so I’d recommend keeping a separate Jellyfin if you need music on the go with your phone.

It’s not like AMD or Nvidia are better

They can’t realistically restrict keys to only be valid for certain countries in the EU. Cheap keys in one country would mean everybody gets these cheaper prices and the publishers would rather not have that.

So basically they want the UN troops out to they can shell more indiscriminately

There are situations where you’ll have to fight, like infiltrations, as a result of certain projects being in progress or defending your stuff against anti-AI warriors if you’ve been too agressive.
If you don’t go around choosing project options that will bring you in conflict with humans and appear hostile it’ll generally stay more quiet. It’s not like the game tells you explicitly what will happen, but I think you can guess that Commercial VR pods will cause less of a disturbance than the Torment Nexus route where your workers actively capture humans.

It’ll be a while before you’re forced to confront mechs when you play the tutorial. They’re pretty easy to deal with if you have a Raven to hack them. You can’t control captured mechs or bulk units (another unit type) directly, but they’re useful later on if you’re in big fights as they fight enemies during the NPC turn without you needing to spend mental energy.
Other than that the mechs are just a more tanky, longer range and mostly harder hitting type. When you capture a new mech type you also unlock its corresponding altered version you can control more directly like your normal androids.

Combat in general takes place on the same map and using the same mental energy you need to move your androids around. Just get your androids into range (light blue circle) and click the enemy. There’s a bunch of modifiers to get advantage from behind/above or light enemies on fire, but it’s not really necessary at the normal difficulty imo.

I highly recommend this game. I have two timelines currently, but no doubt I’ll create more.

In my first timeline in largely less aggressive. Started out with stealth bunkers, helping the homeless and generally avoiding fights.

My second timeline I went in much more aggressively. Torment Nexus instead of commercial VR for example, stealing capturing their mechs etc.
Early on I gave the researchers write access to my brain and had to eradicate homelessness. Did that while fighting of slum lords until they fixed the coercion :) In turn I bulldozed all megabuildings with the people I had sheltered.
I’ve also survived an invasion of an ExoCorp (not that big a deal on normal) and I’m currently cleaning up the civil war I started by crashing the economy.
