J. Kenji López-Alt is fantastic. Professional chef who shows a lot of the how and why in his videos. How to do something in the recipe, and why it’s done. Professional chef with a bunch of other paid resources if you end up liking his style

For short haul flights where a train is preferable, or private iets, absolutely. However airplanes are still the most efficient way to travel long distances. Abolishing airplanes altogether is one of the least thought out takes I’ve ever heard.

Airplane!

Surely you can’t be serious.

I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley.

Came here to say this. GL.iNET is amazing

Every time the working class gains wins under capitalism they are short term at best. The new deal in the US is a great example. As long as capital controls the levers of power, it will always find ways to claw back the gains of the working class for for the name of profit.

Multiple players means multiple players in the game you moron. I can’t believe you’re so dense as you can’t imagine a non human player in a game, especially in a computer game! Most five year olds are able to recognize when they’re playing against an opponent. Human or CPU, it’s a player that you are competing against. Nowhere in any definition except the constraints of your limited mind does it specify that the other players in a multiplayer game have to be human controlled. The fact that you legitimately are getting triggered by this would be hilarious if it didn’t indicate a large problem with your cognitive reasoning.

Think outside the box. You’ve been playing a multiplayer game this whole time.

Yeah, multiplayer. Multiple players. Not multiple humans. Sorry you have such a hard time understanding this. But you are playing a multiplayer game wether youre playing with bots or humans.

Well I hope you continue to enjoy playing a multiplayer game alone with the computer

Literally what is the difference between a single player game of civ and a multiplayer game besides how you communicate with the other civs?

I’ll be sure to pass that along to our AI overlords after the apocalypse

You think when you play a multiplayer modes game alone your suddenly playing a game designed as single player? Just because you can play a multiplayer mode alone doesn’t make it a single player game.

Me either. Multiplayer games have multiple players playing. Wether the thinking is done digitally or organically makes no difference. It is possible to play a multiplayer game alone, that does not make it a single player game

Riveting rebuttal. Way to explain your reasoning. You won me over /s

No, not necessarily. But the fact that you have all players starting on relatively equal footing competing for a win condition does

Does it though? If all the players start on relatively equal footing with similar goals where only one can win, does it matter who is in control of the other players?

I will say, this topic also spurred a healthy discussion in my house. In the instance of civ, I firmly believe AI opponents who are playing the same game as you qualify it as inherently multiplayer even when playing alone.

Ive heard good things about Tropico but have never actually played it. I really need to get on that!

You take turns against other players, real or computer. Doesn’t matter who’s in control of the players, even since CIV 1 this is how the game works. It’s turn based, by nature it’s multiplayer. The game is literally designed as a multiplayer computerized board game. This is absolutely not a first player game front and center. A game like that would be pure single player experience like a Mario or Zelda game

The game is designed to be played with multiple players. Even in single player mode, you take turns against the computer which is technically a player in the game. There is no mode where you’re just playing with yourself, I would not by any means consider it a single player game and that’s by its nature. Basically a computerized board game that requires you to play against an opponent human or ai
