That’s not a problem for you.

For those on the ground however…

Well yeah, it has become a way to leverage as much money as possible out of people because they’re controlling something people need to not die.

"And then I’ll plaster my face all over the place, see;

I’m going to win the human race, see;

I’m going to make the world a better place…

For me."

Just like brass, as it is worked and repeatedly stressed over time, the human body becomes hard and brittle.

Bambu used to only remotely disable your printer if you didn’t connect it to their servers. Then they sent a legal team to harass you if you tried to circumvent this restriction.

Now they remotely burn your house down.

The “modern” XCOM games cheaped out on their game mechanic budget.

The game Phoenix Point made by a much smaller studio with fewer resources came up with a vastly superior way to tackle hit probability. In that game you can free aim using a reticle made of two concentric circles. The outer circle represents where your shot(s) have a 100% chance falling inside of. The inner circle represents where 50% of your shots have a chance of being inside. The more accurate weapons have smaller circles. Then when you shoot the game simulates the path of your shots and any character or environmental object that gets in the way will be taken into account. If you fire a burst or shoot a shotgun, you’re not bound to only 100% hitting or 100% missing. You can have a partial number of rounds or pellets hit the target, while others might miss, be blocked, or even hit another enemy or ally if they were sharing that cone of probability.

This makes the whole thing feel far more real than the shitty dice roll system XCOM relies on that just feels cheap and simplistic in comparison especially for a game of that price. Too bad that overall Phoenix Point had difficulty curve issues and the story was not every interesting to me at least.

If they ever make a new XCOM game I really hope they make that mechanic more like Phoenix Point’s. And also lose the arbitrary turn limits that they’ve introduced in XCOM2 because they force a reckless game style that I absolutely hate in those types of games.

France will jail their political leaders if they do something crooked. It’s like “nobody is above the law” means something there or something.

We noticed a long while ago.

We’ve been at it for a year now

I hate this Putin’s cock-sucking traitor so much.

Blatantly corrupt judges are the real threat

And they won’t be held responsible for it.

You can thank Poilievre for this. This guy will cluelessly cling to the head of the Conservative party until the NDP becomes the new opposition party.

There is a pretty significant chance that Trump won’t keep his word.

And that’s if he doesn’t just die before he has a chance to.

It’s a distraction from the disastrous outcome of his vibe warmongering campaign in Iran, which itself was a distraction from the Epstein files.

Still, it’s like hiring a well known repeat sex offender to babysit your kids.

The profit motive has been getting in the way of a lot of productivity lately.

WTF is wrong with people uploading private things on Facebook?

I wouldn’t call Android “brilliant” nowadays if you count the forks that come pre-installed on most phones nowadays. It’s bloated to the gills and keeps the user locked out of being able to control what certain apps can do and access.
