IIRC Exanima itself was never meant to be the full open world RPG. It was always intended to be a smaller game to perfect some of the game mechanics for their ultimate goal of building that open world RPG. I have no idea if they still plan to build that other game or if they are working on it in parallel or have ditched it entirely.

Edit: The community seems to believe that the devs are still planning to make Sui Generis at any rate. Exanima has been in EA for 10 years or so now, and based on what I'm seeing online they are almost at their 1.0 release version, at which point they will divert their attention to to Sui Generis. Take with a pinch of salt, as this information comes from the r/exanima community on reddit.

DS9 gets way better in the last few seasons, IMO. Worth sticking with it.

When I set up mine, I created a separate /data mount point and drive for anything that I expect to keep between distros. The problem with keeping the home directory is that means all your personalized config files which may or may not apply to a new distro you switch to. I keep configs I want to keep in a git repo (like my i3 configs and scripts that I absolutely wouldn't want to redo from scratch), data I want to keep in /data, and everything else can pretty much be wiped for a new distro on a whim without too much hassle.

Yeah, that's one of the geographical differences I was alluding to. In Canada it can mean either depending on context.

AFAIK it ends up on the ground, and in the ground water. Which means that it could contaminate drinking water if it's not treated properly. It will enter rivers and lakes, and snow and everywhere else that water gets.

As an English speaker I would naturally interpret "You are worth dick" and "you are not worth dick" in the same way.

I took German classes in high school and have been struggling ever since not to automatically capitalize nouns when I write in English. It's been like 25 years.

This is English, but Canada specific as far as I know.

"Fucking the dog" - means to slack off, particularly at work.

"I fucked the dog all day at work today" basically means I got nothing done.

It is distinct from "screw the pooch" which means to fuck something up badly.

That's generally true, but there are some exceptions. For instance. "I'm pissed" can either mean "I'm drunk" or "I'm angry" depending on where you are and the context.

A wave rarely comes alone

An equivalent idiom in English for this one might be "When it rains, it pours"

Meh, I saw documentaries listed but didn't catch that they weren't looking for those specifically. Doesn't matter the OP isn't the only one in this thread and so it's here in case someone else finds it interesting.

Science and Futurism with Isaac Arthur

This channel focuses on exploring concepts in science with an emphasis on futurism and space exploration, along with a healthy dose of science fiction. While we explore many concepts and technologies that are far beyond us now, we try to keep everything inside the bounds of known science or major theories.
