A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!

In fairness, games are still something I’m willing to pay for and books. I think probably because Kindle and Steam are better user experiences than pirating those.

I used to have a moral objection to piracy, I thought that if a piece of media is good enough that I enjoy it then the people that made it deserve to be paid for their work.

I’m increasingly of the opinion that even if I do pay for something there is no guarantee that the people that worked on it will get their fair share and paying for media is increasingly a worse user experience than piracy.

I turned down a few graphic settings but honestly thoughly playable. Looking forward to performance patches so I can turn some of the eye candy back on

I’m enjoying it. I’ve remembered that I’m terrible at building cities, but I’m having fun while coming to that realization again! Performance is mid 50fps with about 5000 people at 1080p with a 2080 super and a ryzen 3600x.

“Nextcloud is a can of worms” is an understatement. I keep talking myself into and out of trying to install it. I just don’t have the time at the moment to troubleshoot it when something inevitably breaks.

Yes. Not taking into account anything except the output of the laser verses the output of the reaction.
