Okay now you're being a bit ridiculous, the precise reason I say 5 fingers isn't strictly necessary is because I have experience working at workshops with people with missing digits. Hell, if you've ever had broken fingers for a any long periods of time, you would also be able to get used to making do with two of them stuck together (effectively giving you just 4 fingers, I would know). Even the discomfort you're alleging to is completely pointless, because while yes our tools are made to feel comfortable with 5 fingers, with some slight adjustment, we can use them just as efficiently with less. This has nothing to do with robotics, because unlike humans, they aren't "used to" having any number of fingers, so it makes no difference to them whether they have 5, 4, or 3, Boston dynamics knows this well enough that their robot arms have just 3 claws, and that's still capable of practically any basic manual task. I am not saying humans don't need 5 fingers (It certainly helps), I'm saying robots do not need them, and especially for the kind of job shown in the video.

The assumption that we need to strive for human-like design isn't really accurate. Maybe in the future, but right now the amount of energy and effort required for bipedal balance and movement is not worth it for the very minor advantages of such machines. Being upright and bipedal is a huge engineering headache that we're barely managing to cope with in robots today, which simply isn't needed for most tasks. Neverminded having 5 fully operable digits, which even humans really only need when playing musical instruments. I'm not doubting the potential, I'm just skeptical about this particular implementation when there are way cheaper and more convenient/logical options around. Seems a little PR stunt-y.
why do they have to be humanoid? Seems a bit unnecessary. The boston dynamics dog with an arm on it's back could do the same job, no?
If only you and @poland weren't the only two who seem to have ever played it, I feel a lot more people would see just how much Civ 7 borrowed from Humankind, I've seen not so many other's realize the amount of simlarities.
I've had this one wishlisted for like almost 2 years. I'd pretty much given hope on it ever releasing since the devs haven't said a peep in so long.
Depends which one, dear American friend.
If there was no GTA6, it wasn't worth the time
The US loves a patsy
Hearts of Iron 3.
Damn, lol. I haven't played HOI3 in probably literal decades, I instinctively assumed it was Vic2
This is the WW2 mod right, I was always skeptical of it since I wasn't sure if it was balanced well enough. I usually stick to HPM because I am perpetually running into economic collapses in anything else.
But they're totally fine with charging $70 for their "AA" game, Jesus. I will admit I don't know much about Avowed in particular but as someone who's played Pillars and Deadfire, seeing this release and the response be either mixed/negative or just obsidian fans downplaying it's shortcomings as "AA" is really irritating. They shouldn't charge this much after developing it for so many years only to put out a low quality title.
