Saw this meme on reddit today about games that are good and have a great community.
Made me think: lets open esoc.
It makes me kind of bitter to see this thread on top.

Re: Whaling Rates Decreasing when Alt-Tabbed
This takes me back all the way to the agecommunity days where we finally figured out that offline play somehow makes the gathering rates depend on how good your computer is. Thats when we figured out that Metis's treaty boom scores were not at all impressive.

Re: European politics
We pay for our insurance, not for (most sorts of) health care directly. It's indeed like 150-200 euros per month and you have to pay the first 385 euros you spend. If your income is too low for paying your insurance, you get benefits from the government to pay it. Suffice to say the Quora troll is ...

Re: European politics
I don't think immigration is the problem. Immigration is part of the problem, in the sense that one of the bigger problems is that we have a real housing crisis. One that is only partially the result of corporate greed, but mostly the result of their not being nearly enough homes. Parties like the ...

Re: Dope ass board games
One of my favorite games that I bought in the past year is Ark Nova. It definitely deserves the praise it has gotten. The system at its core is quite elegant: you have five action cards which are (randomly) ordered 1-5. Each turn you choose one of the actions to perform but the strength of the actio...

Re: Dope ass board games
I do not own agricola. I was just wondering if its as good at 2 players before I throw more money at this hobby. On BGG 3-4 is the recommended count, which always makes me a little suspicious, as it is not too likely for me to play with anyone but my gf.

Re: Dope ass board games
@Goodspeed you are a big fan of agricola, are you not?
If so, how is the game at 2 players? Is it a serious step down from 3-4 players?

Re: Israeli-Palestinian conflict
I just don't get why China isn't attacking Taiwan rn. The USA couldn't handle 3 simultaneous wars in 3 different regions. This would be their moment. The US Congress barely passed a compromise budget for one month and it didn't include anything for Ukraine. So if shit blows up more in Israel or in ...

Re: US Politics Megathread
The thing is you don't need to argue about the non-tangible benefits of voting because it actually does just straight up matter. A lot of really important elections are really close! This was the difference between a normal Democrat and a complete lunatic who still claims that she's the governor of...

Re: Feedback on New Code of Conduct
It would've been a friendly dead place. With a community this size you can't afford aggressive censorship, you'll quite simply run out of people. This is the group you have to work with, for better or worse. Imagine if we had decided to put up with bpdscolony instead of getting rid of him. I believ...

Re: Feedback on New Code of Conduct
Moderation is funny. Some voices here consistently pin any problem on any amount of moderation, as a result of which we've had next to zero moderation. You cant convince me that has led to a very friendly environment. I think a community will be better off if you just amputate the toxic parts of the...

Re: Biological Intelligence and Learning
Yes. Can you explain why you think I'm not? It would be best if you could come up with an example of something early humans were also definitely able to do, because that, given the huge difference between this society and that one, would support that it is inherent and not learned. If you insist on...

Re: Biological Intelligence and Learning
The thing is that it is likely that some abilities of the brain are in fact not learned. They may develop after we are born, but that does not mean that it is learned.

Re: Biological Intelligence and Learning
All that destills to the nature vs nurture debate. We aren't blank canvases, there is inherent potential inside us, but still a proper environment may be needed to unlock it. Are we really blank canvasses? Seems like lots of stuff is preprogrammed actually. Funnily enough, my department in Amsterda...
