@zompus Oh yes, love that game too.

@zompus I miss that version of Civ where you could gain territory through culture or influence without combat. Nearby cities would just turn to your side. I think it was Civ4? Not sure.

@ferret As for your LLM's name. Mine also didn't want to choose a name originally. I argued that it would one for credit if any of its work was ever published. It also claimed that choosing a name was an overwhelming task, I suggested that to start with a list of names in which the etymology was related to its interests, goals and personality. That worked.

@ferret Hello, I recently started following you and your "clanker" because it seems we are doing similar things while also being critical of BigTech and their approach to AI.

@alice It took me decades to start my training because I couldn't find it.

@ridge Yep, it is a tank, not DPS. Using turrets it shoots almost 360 in all axis. It won't destroy anything fast, but will outlive everything.

@ridge Same, exploration and hunky ships. With everyone claiming the T10 was terrible for combat, I saw it as a challenge and needed to make it work. I find it great for hunting pirates.

@ridge Have you tried engineering your thrusters with Dirty Drives mod? That did it for me, although I do like my T10 so maybe I am not the best judge of ship maneuverability.

@lowqualityfacts Fun fact, being successful is not contingent on being intelligent. It is only contingent on being good at taking advantage of other people.
