How authentic are forums like these actually? With the rise of AI chatbots, internet interaction feels more fake than ever before. Why should I post here my opinions and thoughts, share articles etc. when probably most of you are just chatbots?
Just interested if there’s an episode of a particular series you find yourself going back to? Not necessarily “the best” or your favorite, just one you gravitate toward for a comfort re-watch? Here’s the episodes from each series I find myself re-watching a lot:...
The controversy around Jason Aldean’s “Try that in a Small Town” got me thinking. What are some things that you wish you could do in a small town that you just can’t?...
X4 foundations with the boron dlc. I start and stop this one a lot. I've played hundreds of hours in this game and still feel like I have no idea what I'm doing.
I just watched the original Alien the other day. I had forgotten how similar they made the ship from Prometheus to the ship in Alien. Wasted opportunity.
Often, at firms, staff will be brought in from other groups during tax busy season to prepare returns. The rest of the year they are on audits or other work.
The reviewers and tax professionals do not switch groups. They do advisory, planning, other compliance, business development, training and binge drinking the rest of the year.
It's 50% off right now and looks interesting. I don't have the capacity to assemble a co-op crew of real humans. From what I've read, the AI crew is very bad. Is the game actually as unplayable as some people make it seem with an AI only crew? Would I be better off saving my money?
I agree. It was an interesting story that just never went anywhere. They kept going in different directions. It's like that south park episode where the manitee write the show at random.
Australia has a lot of foreign businesses and it has a lot of immigrants. Both earn Australian dollars and huge amounts would be sent back their country of origin....
The other responses are missing this point. This is the right answer. The AUD does not actually leave the country. If money is being sent to America, it is converted to USD first. In theory, the value of USD increases since there is greater demand and the value of AUD decreases. This is the mechanism of exchange rates.
Obviously, it gets a little more complicated than this, but in theory that is what is happening.
Hey, looking into investing into a pair or two of shoes for work. I’m in IT now but worked warehouse and restaurant jobs before this and shoes were by far the biggest qol purchase I made.

Most Scifi fans I have ran into can pretty quickly rank the four stars –BattleSTAR Galactica, STAR Trek, STARgate, and STAR wars, but what lesser-known or less-prestigious shows hold a special place in your heart?...
I think I'm the only person to ever watch all of Andromeda. It was not my favourite show, but there was something comforting whenever i was watching it. Maybe it just reminded me of the old Hercules, but in space.
I’m a massive sci fi fan and played the ever loving shit out of Star Citizen for a while there. Loved the 6 degrees of freedom and the capability to be a person or a starship....
I'm hopeful for Starship simulator. It is not out yet, but it looks promising. I've always wanted a game with a ship with a working crew you interact with or become a part of. I have not ever found anything good enough.
I enjoy X4, but I actually though the exploration aspect in Rebirth was better (unpopular opinion I'm sure). I do like how you can give your captains orders and then just hitch a ride and see how it goes.
Everyone always says FTL, which is fun, but the crew don't really have roles or personalities. They are there and they man the ship, but that's it. And you're always in a rush to do anything which always just ends with a space battle.
Similar for Space Haven. If the crew has assigned departments and ranks rather than just assigned tasks I think it would be closer.
What's some really unpopular opinion you have?
Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular....
