IMO it’s great but it is a departure from earlier titles in more than just going to 3D, and the sides are a 90s caricature of the US/China/Middle-Eastern people, so it’s something that you definitely couldn’t make today.

Like the “terrorist” side gets suicide bombers and a unit called “angry mob” to which Chinese flamethrowers or American snipers are a good counter, while China gets two soldiers for the price of one and propaganda loudspeakers everywhere that makes units fight harder.

The story is barely there as well, which was a strong point of the RA2 and Tiberium universes.

This day is to be remembered.

Is it only me that had the C&C Generals Nuke Cannon tagline going off in their heads saying BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN in a deliberate voice and a heavy Chinese accent?

Solar is technically fusion though

I can already imagine articles of Americans dying of thirst because all their water has been taken to cool datacenters that use terribly inefficient algorithms to solve Candy Crush levels for me.

And a lot of ESL speakers will write in a mishmash, since they read off of the Internet with mixed sources.

How do you know they honour your decision to deny them the footage, instead of taking it without your knowledge or consent?

Except your GPU fans will start screaming when you press skip.

They hope

Yeah, you’re right, I looked it up.

Apparently that’s the “Chinese characteristics” in “socialism with Chinese characteristics”.

Some idiot with too much money is already on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Games

Athletes are adults … and they have a right to do with their body what they wish - my body, my choice; your body, your choice, … And no government, no paternalistic sports federation, should be making those decisions for athletes

Except for living as their gender dictates apparently, as:

According to D’Souza, athletes should also be categorised based on their chromosomal sex.

That said, if I understand this correctly, they are basically making, letting and forcing (select the one you like) trans men to compete in women’s sports.

Buy a Framework, I have 4 slots that can be everything from USB-A to C to RJ45 to card readers when I need it, and I can charge the thing from any port.

It’s setting expectations. Just because I can wear a clip on my nose, I won’t stop telling the local idiot to stop farting loudly in the elevator.

I think you’re misunderstanding. I think what the person above is saying is that if Youtube can go back to skippable ads and not pull out of Vietnam or go bankrupt (lol), then places like the EU or even individual EU countries have more than enough leverage to demand this.

No, but some public transit services, random service providers, random SMEs whose services I use communicate solely through Whatsapp.

I’d love that, but I need Whatsapp to participate in society. Several companies, mostly SMEs in fact but also big ones won’t talk to me if not through Whatsapp.

I guess the alternative is locking their people out of Youtube by effectively banning it. Even this is a gutsy move TBH.

It’s the same deal when “how is it that you’re paying taxes if you’re a libertarian”?

At least in my area where the rules are the sane, motorbikes just exist outside the law. You park them wherever, but nobody gets in trouble when someone on a motorbike dies.

Not likely, this would get ripped apart on engine start.

For a crash, you need to at least get to the part where you attempt a takeoff.

I don’t see this as that.

My reading is that “I want to touch my GFs butt but I won’t since she’ll get mad, but I really want to”.

Nothing wrong with really wanting to. Maybe don’t call your SO a bitch though.
