  • With the right director he could use method acting. “You control a vast business empire that renders you immune to consequences and connects you to every imaginable influential person in the world. You see that guy in the bright colors? He’s the ultimate immigrant who only exists to bring woke values.”











  • You really want pixels indecipherable to the human eye on a format that your eyes can even take advantage of? Baffling.

    I have this phone and it’s the best phone I’ve ever used. The previous generation had 4K resolution and it turned out no one could tell the difference and the panels are way higher power usage. The battery that used to power the 4k now lasts for literally 3 days of constant powered on, full use. It’s the longest lasting battery in a phone in the world. No phone lasts longer without a charge.

    So many other features have exceeded my expectations. I no longer carry a 3rd party DAC to use for the AUX cord headphones. It sounds incredible and STILL USES AUX. In this era of forced Bluetooth headphones it’s a god damn unicorn.

    You’re mad about specs that are absolutely meaningless in reality.



  • Damn, Microsoft really heard people had a new screen that didn’t have a spreadsheet and ported Excel to phones. How much actual business oriented data entry is done on a phone, Microsoft? Really. Was there a rush for a productivity suite for the worst form factor possible? Absolute waste of those developers’ time and energy.




  • Funny how you dismiss Terra Invicta out of hand without playing it or understanding the scope of what is required from the player. First you need to convince Earth that it is being invaded AND this is a bad thing while 6 other factions try to take advantage of what’s happening. The aliens are also a faction that plays a lot like right wing governments - lots of information control and emotional encouragement to accept atrocities.

    While this propaganda war plays out across Earth the aliens are building bases into the solar system like it’s WW2 and they’re island hopping towards the enemy homeland. So you need to get out into space (before the other factions get there and claims all the good rocks). And that takes in game years, which also adds to the handling time.

    While these two big things are playing out in the game you will also have technology to research and the tech tree is HUGE. The “late game” is something you get to after a couple weeks of playing.

    Tell me more about your silly adventures across half a continent. I will tell you how I conquered a solar system, went to the alien system, and made them stop fucking with Earth.
