Funnily enough, a few months back someone at Hi-Rez quietly spun up a Global Agenda server. You can actually go play it with your old account if you remember the login, but there’s usually only like 10 people on at a time lol.

Oh, I see you havent used the style that replaced them yet. Infinitely worse.

The idea in concept is you just lift up or pull down from the bottom of the blinds and they’ll stay in place. In practice however, you pull down and they refuse to budge, risking you breaking them. And then when you lift up, they go to a certain point and then just stop retracting and will fall down halfway from where you wanted them.

I hate them. I hate them so much. Although, I will say blinds in general are just awful. Curtains are the superior window shade.

With a few exceptions, a lot of “ancestral native land” in North America was held by the occupying tribe for less than 100 years who brutally took it from the previous tribe. People believe in the “noble savage” stereotype all the time, when the truth is they were human. And just like all humans, they were brutal, violent, and capable of great evil towards one another.

I’m saying using the browser that aims to put privacy first is better than Firefox, yes. I don’t really care about the past personal beliefs of the staff because that doesn’t actually make any difference on the product itself, it’s just virtue signaling. I’ll keep using Brave which values my privacy, you can keep using whatever the hell other browser you want that doesn’t. Simple as that.

I am more and more satisfied with my decision to use Brave years ago despite all the haters.

A highly militaristic society that isn’t all that strong compared to other militaries, that treats it’s people and outsiders poorly, and has glaringly obvious issues with its governance, all with an air of superiority and an emphasis on never appearing weak?

…Was Sparta just North Korea?

If you have a medical emergency and you need a CT scan, now you have two medical emergencies.

It’s not.

So that’s a pretty interesting question, because you’re asking for a modern RTS which doesn’t quite exist. It’s not that the RTS genre died, it’s just kind of evolved into two separate paths based on what people enjoyed from those games.

For those that liked the fast action, APM, control of units, MOBAs have mostly filled that role.

For those that liked planning out and building a huge base, there are a bunch of base/empire building games.

I’m looking forward to a new format of star trek story!

Not even. The biggest change is due to crazy high infant mortality rates no longer drastically reducing the average

None of those are wishes.

On 50cc? Ok scrub.

Recently, the Pocket Bard app for music and ambiance. You can select a setting like a town, dungeon, forest, etc. and it will pick thematically appropriate music. It has an intensity slider that will subtly change the music on the fly, becoming more soothing/playful at low levels and chaotic/dramatic at high levels. You can switch between exploration and battle music depending on what players are doing, there’s even victory music for after a battle.

It’s definitely a step up from shuffling between various YouTube playlists.

This will be the third time I will have lost all my comment history and have to recreate my large block list. It’s not just a flip of the switch.

The depression and other emotional issues is what got me. It’s supposed to be Star Fleet, yet every character is like 12 flavors of drama that should be seen as unprofessional. I enjoy diversity, however Discovery constantly used it in a way where the characters are either struggling with their identity or have practically made it their entire personality, which is stupid because ST has made clear that in its future, no one gives a shit about that stuff because everyone is free to be who they are.

I mean, they even ran out of oppressed minorities and had to start making up their own like Saru’s struggle with being a prey species. Or the fucking ship having an identity crisis.

I bought roller coaster tycoon classic for mobile a few years back. When I upgraded my phone, it suddenly vanished because apparently Pixel 7’s and later are 64-bit only. I’ve heard I could root my phone and somehow restore access, but that seems like a pain and I’ve become pretty reliant on Google’s call screening service to block spam calls.

Just ridiculous that I can no longer play a game a purchased for arbitrary reasons.
