I'm glad I left, it was already becoming mostly bots.Seems on par. Now they're going after the only valuable resource left, the niche communities where you try to find actual products worth a shit.

tape Link ParentAs a long time TM fan, the live service is annoying for me. I bought it recently just to play 1 specific custom map. Now I feel like I have to play more just to not waste the money.

I bought TMUF back in the day and bought and had fun with TM2. Now the three times I've wanted to play 2020 I've had to pay, this third time even more because they removed the cheap teir. :/

https://i.imgur.com/2g5QVd9.pngI don't remember if its in those video or the countless others I've watched where, even if you try changing what is taxed, the businesses weren't moving out and becoming the thing that is taxed less. I think the person I was watching was trying to get textile companies to move in because he was making the raw material for it or whatever, and just couldn't get them to move in no matter what he did. It's wild and all lies from their marketing material.

All of it is basically lies and its sad.I was looking forward to this game until it came out. Performance issues aside, they ruined the simulation aspects. All of it is basically lies and its sad.

tape Link ParentThis is an annoying edge case you just helped me find for part 1, full input data. I couldn't get the right answer to save my life but it was because I checked each side of my S and it was messing...One other problem is that we need to know what the starting pipe S actually is. This is a very tiny edge case but you have to look at the adjacent pipes fitting it and in the loop rather than just adjacent pipes fitting it.
This is an annoying edge case you just helped me find for part 1, full input data. I couldn't get the right answer to save my life but it was because I checked each side of my S and it was messing up my traversing. Thank you!

And if it's still owned by facebook at that point, I won't have fuck all to do with it.
Regardless of all of that, we still don't have high res enough displays and driving capability to do text work comfortably in VR, so I don't see a point in pushing for "productivity" things in it either yet.

It would be really hard to fall for this because 31000 is not a small amount of money and I'm not stupid enough to use anything called a payment "app" to do serious transactions. Next article is gonna be "I got scammed trying to pay my mortgage with cashapp and I don't know how" :|
