I had an idea for a video game, imagine a spiritual reincarnation of Red Alert 2, except instead of the USSR invading the US, China invades Australia. This map gives me good vibes.

I’ve never seen anyone talk about this relatively new yt channel, they seem to post history of socialist counties.

I bought Universe at War on release and never actually played it lol.

I think Dawn of War (Soulstorm) is probably the best RTS of all time.

after posting this, I took a curious gander at their other videos and

he’s complaining about optional game modes like “not killing everyone” lol.

ok so there is grand strategy and tactics. Both probably the same in grand strategy, civ5 probably requires more thinking the tactics department. in civ4 you just make sure your stack of doom is bigger (more units in single tile).

my opinion: Civ4 is all around a better game. Most details are just better in Ci4. Except, Civ5’s one-unit-per-tile + hex-tiles are superior to Civ4’s stacks-of-doom. It boils down to what’s important to you, tile based tactics, or the rest of the game.

Windows 7 was the last good windows. Windows XP was probably the best, but I guess I like 7’s aesthetics a tiny bit more. Under Micro$oft’s totalitarian Windows XP regime, I always disabled what I called Fisher Price Mode, which means that I used the Windows 95/98/2000 theme instead of the default theme that made the computer UI look like it was designed for toddlers.

IDK about that, but when I woke up it was done and I was already seeding lol.

I loaded the 28 Days Later 1080p torrent from that website 2 hours ago, it’s been stalled with 0 seeds/peers the whole time.

I tried torrenting it a few months ago, but all the versions I could find were highly compressed 240p or had no seeds. Same with Donnie Darko. Ironicly, both films I later found out, were easily found on youtube. I’m hoping this one is better quality.

I’m being forced to watch “True Blood” (in the middle of S1 atm) against my will and this reminds me of that. Some of the way vampires are discriminated against seem to be metaphors or based on actual discrimination real minorities face (Antisemitism, PoC, LGBT, etc.). It seems like a “let’s do a fictional minority that’s discriminated against, except the violent/satanic/predator stereotypes are actually true”. I don’t know what direction they’re about to go into, so it comes across as problematic. I’m curious what kind of principled hardline theory some of the brainpilled leftists have to say about this.

If you like civ5, unciv is great, but also consider that it’s open source and the tail end of the game/features may not be implemented yet.

can you please give me an example of an intermediate config task that’s significantly easier on windows than linux?

I feel like it’s the kind of thing that use to be true. I think it’s easier to edit a a text file in linux and run the restart service command in terminal than it is to wander through window’s new maximum white-space electron GUIs and hope what you’re looking for isn’t removed in windows 10 or doesn’t get reset back to default on next update.
