Britbong, retired "rich" thanks to investments, after spending 2 decades working in terrible companies with terrible pay across the country of England.
Spending my time drinking coffee, tea and remembering to put myself down every single time I make a post on HN. You know, so I get a normal decent conversation from some thin skinned gatekeeping neckbeard burrowed deep inside a 6 figure FANG company who is not doing his job, yet clearly winning at life.
Sorry. I promise Ill get some therapy.

based, been playing this for months with my friend, over anything else.
EDIT> My fav setup is to join a free empty server , set up 2 teams, 2 AI and 1 human vs 2 AI and 1 human. And then play with my friend. Great fun. The AI adds a bit of a randomness to the games. Easy smooth quick interface. Just perfect for a quick free RTS game with a friend.
I dont seem to understand why no one is talking about this obvious fact? I mean suddenyl everyone is banning .. ok .. well how many months behind are the open source models?
I spent about a decade building a game that looks remarkably like this, I for one think this looks fantastic. Took me years of working with old 3d libraries and networking... and it never was finished....
Its incredible what can now be built with a little good ai tooling, just awesome.
EDIT > This is my favorite post this year (after Mythos) on HN good job
Im not sure if anyone will read this, but I consider myself pretty savvy having been on the internet over decades however I nearly succumbed to a highly complex Linkedin "Interview with video call just to get me to install malware".
It was the most bizarely long roundabout way to get me to isntall malware I had ever witnessed I couldnt fathom it was real, I mean they interviewed me for half an hour. Now you might think Im paranoid however it was obvious, their camera was off ( personal preference they said) and well I allowed it... only for other eventual straws to breal the camels back, and I realised "oh uh oh this is just 2 strangers trying to get me to install crap on my laptop for wealth extraction".
I was flumoxed tbh I couldnt believe it, as the approach had been very organic, through Linkedin Dms, just that eventaully I realised I had succumbed to "yes men" ( the only thing that would get passed my already strict job filters ironically) to allow myself into such a comprimising situation.
The only question I had is how did they do such a smooth complex manouver and then I realised... oh they just used AI to come up with the plan and implementation.
Rumour was an old lady donated posthumously alot of money she had saved up her whole life, to build a university at Estepona in Spain.
After she died they never built it. The town remains pretty much the same as it always was.
Last time I was there they had replaced the red marble promenade that was cracked on the beach with some sort of rubber playground cement, and for some reason that I can only put down to malice, built a large statue that resembles a rat about 8 feet tall and placed it at the intersection of the promenade with the town center, where there used to be old spanish men and youths playing on many free foosball tables
Bear in mind this fishing town is next to Marbella perhaps the richest destination in the mediterranean.
Its almost as if as a child I fell asleep and woke up in a nightmare, when I visited.
Fortunately they left what remains of the old town alone and its still a beautiful (in parts) tourist destination.
