After I posted I was reminded that it’s still common in FPS games to brick the graphics so there’s less hiding spots. But also my graphics card is like 7 years old and runs everything I’ve come across except Star Citizen. (Which is its own whole level of fuckery)
I don’t think most PC gamers are running 4k. With all the price shenanigans in the GPU market over the last 5 years, actually achieving 4k has been an expensive journey for anyone doing it. Especially when games play just fine at half or a quarter of that.
People keep making the mistake of thinking the super rich have loyalty to a country.
Oh good we finally trained them enough. Can we please get rid of captcha now have the next portion?
But they didn’t get the code. That’s the quest they can do, hold you in contempt of court. Which in the US is illegal under the 5th amendment.
Maybe in some countries but in a western one they aren’t getting a pattern or passcode unless you verbally give it to them. We do know though that there is some level of capability to crack phones though.
Yeah, I’m really loving having only semi control.
We know that. Trauma is an interesting thing. There are many ways to get traumatized. And all trauma can cause PTSD. So an Infantryman could see a dead body but never actually get into a fight and end up with PTSD. It can happen on the first body, or the 100th. Drone Operators are prone to something called moral injury. Basically they get a form a trauma from seeing the results of their work.
Oh that’s been my new favorite tactic. I said you’d get research and a vote. I didn’t say it would be enacted or that we would build that…
That’s the thing it’s not diminished. The brain doesn’t see it as any different than directing fire through binoculars.
Some people aren’t happy with the changes but it’s really just going to the macro view. There are still very important buildings and hubs though. My only two critiques are they don’t really tell you about the hubs doing more than extra storage. (There’s a heat one and the storage ones can reduce workforce requirements) So just like in the first game there’s a benefit to building in patterns. Some districts can even go to zero heat required under normal conditions. My other problem is the end game isn’t properly explained. But if you check your damaged districts you will find new options for dealing with them in the last chapter.
Other than that it’s a new format, a new story, and the same long lead crisis simulation. By the time you realize you’re screwed, the mistake was hours ago. Expect to fail until you see where the resources interact with each other and figure out a sustainable research/build order. It’s not just a city builder, it’s a survival city builder. But there is a utopia mode if you just want to make pretty cities.
This is a major change in formula. You could absolutely play the first one without feeling like it’s the same game. The story in the second doesn’t require you to play the first one though.
The first one is still great too. They went from micro to macro so it’s still a unique game too
Before anyone goes running off to find out Tommy Boy is still true, you should know you can get PTSD from behind a screen. It’s not fun and games, no matter what the recruiter says.
He’s technically correct according to some schools of international politics.
But he’s saying this to casually connect Iran to a declaration of war on Israel. In all that blab he casually infers Hezbollah is an Iranian military unit and it declared war on October 8th. Which creates the question of a casus belli against Iran.
This is a propaganda technique where stuff like this is mentioned in passing by a bunch of different people. Our full attention is on the idea that he’s delegitimizing the surrounding countries. But that other bit slips past and if we hear something over and over without questioning it we can actually internalize it.
So that’s kind of scary to think about.
Done, sorry it took this long.
What are you reading on? I’m using my phone and stock android. It looks fine, no more ads than a local paper might have.
I do this too but it really looks like OP scrolled to the bottom to make a Lemmy post.
Works fine for me? I looked up a random article and got death stranding graphics testing. All the ads were in text breaks with decent sized chunks of article text readable. I’m not a fan of the 1.5 paragraphs to ad ratio but it wasn’t what you claimed either
Oh that already happened too. A bunch of blind people got implants and the company abandoned them.
