IMO it’s great but it is a departure from earlier titles in more than just going to 3D, and the sides are a 90s caricature of the US/China/Middle-Eastern people, so it’s something that you definitely couldn’t make today.

Like the “terrorist” side gets suicide bombers and a unit called “angry mob” to which Chinese flamethrowers or American snipers are a good counter, while China gets two soldiers for the price of one and propaganda loudspeakers everywhere that makes units fight harder.

The story is barely there as well, which was a strong point of the RA2 and Tiberium universes.

This day is to be remembered.

Is it only me that had the C&C Generals Nuke Cannon tagline going off in their heads saying BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN in a deliberate voice and a heavy Chinese accent?

Solar is technically fusion though

Which one do you miss?

Investors are trying to keep the thing going to offload to the next chump, and then US retirement funds will end up holding the bag at the very end when it pops.

It’s very hard, takes a lot of time, and is kinda pointless to scale it up, because everyone knows the demand won’t last.

It’s an oligopoly of mostly 3 companies who together have 90% market share. The third one not involved in this deal just announced they are closing their direct to consumer brand Crucial, and are focusing on AI as much as they can.

So this is only this year, but they can keep throwing nonexistent money at it in perpetuity as long as the bubble lasts.

Not really. If the USD loses value, your neighbour will sell their goods to me for EUR because it will be worth more.

It will be like everyone in the US got a pay cut. It’s a demand side effect, not like a tariff, and it’s uniform, not like a tariff.

It’s inflation after all.

This would make all goods more expensive, as it would directly devalue the USD. It wouldn’t make people buy local, it would just make them buy less.

It’s not what a tariff does, because that only applies to foreign imports.

Not cancelling, selling.

A dollar bill is debt that the govt owes to you. A bond is similar, just a bit different.

The US will still owe, just to different entities, but its figurative credit score will plummet at the same time it’s in a debt spiral.

But let’s make it simpler. Most of the world’s USD is not in the US, but in cash reserves abroad. They hold it like gold.

What happens if the big players sell? It’s already happening a bit, look at EURUSD and gold prices.

I can already imagine articles of Americans dying of thirst because all their water has been taken to cool datacenters that use terribly inefficient algorithms to solve Candy Crush levels for me.

And a lot of ESL speakers will write in a mishmash, since they read off of the Internet with mixed sources.

Gadget Hackwrench.

I rest my case. Didn’t even watch the show.

But it does lessen it

They are Hungarians, garlic is in their being.

Hearts of Iron player detected.

I think it’s just that there isn’t enough Nazi gold.

You need half a million flag waving Hungarians to march on Bucharest then.

These guys specifically:

How do you know they honour your decision to deny them the footage, instead of taking it without your knowledge or consent?

Except your GPU fans will start screaming when you press skip.

They hope
