Later RTSs really trended towards having giant deathball armies that moved around the map almost like a single unit. Whereas even small engagements in Brood War have an interesting geometry to them.

My wife has been hanging on for dear life to her first gen iPhone SE, because it's the only damn phone that will usually fit in the pockets on women's jeans.

So, are any of these Washington-based militias actually going to fight back against government tyranny and try to free these citizens by force? They honestly probably would have popular support if they did.

relying instead on a now-anachronistic, console-mounted dial.

You know, Mazdas also have touchscreens in addition to the dials. The drivers always had the option of using the touchscreen or the dial... and they mostly used the dial because it was better in most situations. So all they've done is taken away features.

One could say that Kim is a follower of the trueanon rules... but it's more accurate to say that he's a leader of the trueanon rules

The cutting and privatization of government services has of a perverse logic, since the capital class only cares about whether they can extract profits from those privatized services.

But seeing the cuts to the state capacity of the Empire really demonstrates how they've lost the plot. These are all the coup-planners who keep the global south mired in IMF loans. That's the framework that makes hyper exploitation and their super profits possible!

You can just look at previous planetary crisises that were addressed, and just ask the question "what if we hadn't done anything?" to use the example leaded gas and CFCs: planetary devastation within a human lifetime. With CO2 emissions and PFAs, we're taking the FAFO route.

When I first saw this thread, I did unironically click on the link expecting to listen to a 2 hour screed on background play (as I often do).

I appreciated your dialectic analysis @1 hour and 35 minutes of the Roblox Oof with respect to the contra/philosophy tube breakup drama

DON'T CREATE THE TORMENT NEXUS

I want to host some LAN parties this winter, and am looking for some Free Software Games that would be a fun time. We already play some Counterstrike and StarCraft 2, but I want to expand into some actual Free games. Windows compatibility is a must, MacOS compatibility is desirable!

The two on my radar are:

  • Hedgewars, which seems like a strong candidate. We played a ton of Worms 2 in the 90s
  • 0 A.D., since we're already fans of RTS games.

But I know there must be some wacky ones out there which would be suitable for 30 minutes of pick up play.

 

The 2040 plan is mainly an ending of single-family zoning. Anecdotally, I've seen a lot more apartments going up around the Twin Cities in the last few years. The Frey regime are neoliberal ghouls, and this is a classic YIMBY approach to tackling housing shortages. The opponents of this plan are somehow even worse, an astroturfed army of KKKarens.

Choice quote: "Residents of color already face significant barriers to home ownership, which would have been exacerbated under the plan as a result of reduced access to and availability of single family properties," said activist Nekima Levy Armstrong, a member of the plaintiffs' legal team, in a statement calling Tuesday's ruling a "major victory."

What are the Hexbear thoughts on this whole situation?

There's a golf course right next to the Furnace Creek Visitor Center, where everyone is taking their Instagram photos next to the hottest temperatures ever recorded.
