This was such a cool map and arc, from putting them up to causing mutations and taking them down. Hope they find a way to keep these missions in the game all the time, even if they're rarer.
Immigrants will always be an easy marginal group to distract from the poisoning effects of growing economic disparity.
This was a fantastic read and is getting me to move over to 7zip from .rar at least. Thanks for posting!
My god, your comments are written with such a lack of empathy and your opinion is so underdeveloped that that is why you earned my downvote.
Rent is increasing everywhere because inflation is increasing everywhere, including outside of major cities.
More importantly, the solution to "housing is increasingly controlled by those who own a lot of housing and they are using that control to extract more wealth from those who own less than them. " is not simply "move somewhere less densely populated, the housing there is cheaper". Why? Because of course it's fucking not.
Housing is cheaper there because less people live there. What does that mean? Less people want to live there, for a myriad of reasons. Maybe I have multiple family members within a city? Hell, I have friends certainly and they're not moving with me - decade long friendships that won't go away but I'll certainly see far far less.
Maybe I have kids and I don't want to move them to a new school? Maybe the schools in my neighboring small towns aren't properly funded or have a conservative board so their education is skewed.
Maybe I like going to IMAX theaters as a treat and my neighboring towns don't have one. Or ice skating or to an arcade or to top golf or to a Thai boxing club or to a pottery class. Cities have these experiences in spades, and maybe my neighboring towns dont.
Maybe I hate driving and commuting would not only cost more of my most valuable resource but it would cause things I'm opposed to like increased pollution while costing me more money and increasing my risk of accidental harm. Maybe the city I would have to commute in our through has such a reliance on car infrastructure that everywhere is clogged up with traffic most hours of the day making any sort of timely transit impossible.
Maybe I just like good food, smaller towns have less variety, less options, and fewer hours. Maybe I like well sourced meats like fish, which my small towns struggle to source.
Maybe my neighboring towns don't speak my language as well as cities, they can't accommodate me while I learn the native language. Maybe I like a racially diverse populace with high education and who have a multitude of life experiences. Maybe I'm LGBTQ and my neighboring towns are too conservative to treat me well. Maybe violent crime is higher in the suburbs and neighboring towns and that worries me.
I mean, you've clearly thought about all of this and found it inconsequential when compared to hundreds of dollars in rent. But I'd be willing to pay more money to stay in a public transit heavy city, with my friends, so I can get good sushi and Turkish food when I want, and see movies on the big screen.
That doesnt mean I want to pay some guy's 4th mortgage at a rate that costs me my ability to ever own an apartment. Housing is a right, we have the capacity to make it affordable everywhere, we should be doing things that improve everyone's lives not pretending that it's acceptable to tell everyone to uproot their entire life in exchange for €X00 a month back.
I haven't yet; moving from a Jekyll based blog to a different stack at the moment. Been doing a lot of digital migrations like to proton and such this past month.
I'll post it when there's enough on there to be proud of or worth showing. Thanks for the curiosity.
What's important is we never stop trying to connect, we keep pushing for meaningful dialogues and educating ourselves and our neighbors.
On Facebook, before I stopped, I tried writing well sourced political pieces and no amount of engagement was enough - when there was none it was... Annoying maybe, or disheartening. It made me think about why I was doing it.
I stopped posting on Facebook and I'm slowly moving to my own site and the fediverse.
So I'd say reflect on why you're doing it and hopefully align your actions or expectations with that introspection.
Another good day in the EU!
I heard about this first from slyflourish I think and he called it a luck mechanic. I think the cap was different, 3, and maybe it replaced inspiration. You also got it for failing a roll instead of critting.
I think the mechanic is good, I'd prefer a lower cap and collection on fail I think. I also agree that retroactive changes are bad - I prefer to tell the players the DC and let them decide how many to spend ahead of time.
More player agency is good in my book and in 5E or OSR systems the number of currencies you're tracking is very low IMO so this is easy to mod in with little friction.
I think the scenario I described applies to most Western countries.
Congrats on having rich renters then. If they're wealthy enough to not take reduced rent then they are likely not your countries average renter.
Ya, seriously, their take is crazy. I'm a two income household, both software engineers, and to save enough money to afford the loan to buy the home would take us years. The cost of a mortgage right now is higher than my rent by a huge percentage and that still requires 20-30k of down payment.
Could we downsize to a 1 bedroom apartment, eat PBJs every night, and stick to cheap hobbies such that we could afford to start the loan in two years or something - yes. But why am I required to trade my youth for the ability to pay the bank the better part of a million dollars over the next 20 years of my life just so I can install a nice bathroom and AC and maintain the flat properly.
Who the fuck reads the entire steam page? My friend says buy the game, the reviews say it's great with friends, you go and buy the game not scan the steam page for predatory data hoarding policies.
