IMO Supreme Commander failed to capture the original game’s soul. You had a sense of an epic battle going on when playing. I think it was because it always devolved into playing all zoomed out, watching tiny strategic icons moving across the map, blinking and disappearing. I can’t even tell you what any of the units looked like because we almost never see them. The fact that they gave generic names to units and structures such as “level one point defence turret” didn’t help either.

BAR does a much better job of keeping the player zoomed in and into the action, seeing and feeling so the cool details of the battle going on. Heavy plasma batteries blowing up chunks of advancing armies and terrain, lasers blowing up individual targets in rapid succession, sending debris flying everywhere, this was all what TA was about.

One thing I miss the most from the Biden era is we didn’t hear from this piece of human garbage doing shit like that every day.

I understand that, but if a third-party was to make a mod that restores the old names, I don’t see how they could possibly be held legally liable for it.

The very act of floating this idea is election fraud. Even if they don’t do it, threatening to do it could discourage voters.

I wish someone made a mod for this game that restored the names of the units and buildings to all their Total Annihilation equivalents.

I’m calling it: they’re going to have Palantir set them up with a database of likely Democrat voters paired with facial recognition and detain everyone who is a positive match on their way to the polls until the polling station closes.

And then they’ll have the mail-in votes thrown out.

It’s like a joke from The Simpsons for crying out loud

Russia sure does like to do a lot of shit for a country whose entire economy relies on such highly flammable oil refineries.

Like it was stopping them before.

If the authorities can now ignore the law protecting the citizens, how can they expect the law to protect them?

The comedian Louis CK once said: “I don’t stop eating when I feel full. I stop eating when I start hating myself.”

It could just be a lower threshold for self-hatred.

The best example I can think of to represent what the article is taking about is Doritos. I like to think of myself as someone with a decent amount of self-control. But if I ever see a bag of Doritos I can crush a whole value pack in two sittings. That stuff is engineered to be as addictive as possible and it shows. The only reason why I’m not a walking blimp is that I dont buy any because I know what happens when that stuff is in my house.

If only they engineered something that was both addictive and healthy for a change. But I guess there isn’t much incentive to sacrifice maximum addictiveness for health.

He knows he is going to have his ass kicked in the midterms. Watch out for dirty tricks. He will try to pull all of them.

Have you noticed how they all result in letting the rich class extract more money from the poor?

Just more money being pumped straight into the pockets of the insurance company shareholders.

Nestlé staying true to its reputation as always

That point was never made I had to make it myself to conclude this stupid disagreement with something that made sense. Even after I did so, essentially agreeing to disagree he kept going, making it obvious he wasn’t even taking this seriously. The guy was just out trolling while accusing me of not wanting to have a “discourse”.

Seriously, you post one opinion that isn’t necessarily popular but that you believe in, someone hijacks it with an immediate downvote and some comment to twist it around to make you the “bad guy” and people just pile on the bandwagon because snarkiness seems to beat arguments in places like that. People can’t be bothered to read more than 2 lines. I thought that shit only happened on Reddit.

I’ve had aliens visit me to tell me they’ve used their unfathomably advanced technology to prove beyond any doubt that I was right and that your sources were wrong. But you’ll also have to trust me on this. Quid pro quo.

Either that or I just find that logo ugly. Pick whichever.

You’re ignoring the rest of the logo that puts it all together. Ultimately I think what makes the Debian logo particularly ugly is the “painted with a scraggly brush” effect.

I find it hilarious that this made its way to CBC. Usually they don’t stir the international politics pot like this.

In the purely hypothetical situation where Minnesota joined Canada, it would most likely become its own province and not be fused with Manitoba.
