Um, what the fuck? Can people just not be terrible for a little while, please?

As a super casual player, I'm mostly enjoying the spectacle of the campaign. Coming from rts like age of Empires 2, which has a sometimes pretty strict population cap in it's missions (and also medieval technology), being able to build up an unlimited army of giant tanks and mecha is pretty fun. Maybe that loses its novelty at some point. Speaking of novelties, the fmv cutscenes are an interesting choice. I realize they were a fad when the original game was released, but I respect that they decided to preserve that portion of the series' identity.
The use of only one resource is strange. It feels like there are only a couple places on the map (the tiberium fields) that actually matter, and the rest is just empty space. I haven't seen what the multi-player maps look like, maybe they add neutral buildings or something to give the players something to fight over. They've been a couple of those so far.
My opinion is also heavily influenced by the fact that the game is from the time before all the modern bullshit with microtransactions and stuff. Like, I paid for a game, and I received an actually complete game that doesn't try to sell me a bunch more stuff. Wild. Having just moved on from Immortals: Fenyx Rising, which really suffered from being a Ubisoft game despite its charming setting and characters really drives that point home.
Command and Conquer 3. I'm not very familiar with the series but I'm enjoying it, at least now that I figured out why the campaign was so hard. Apparently they patched the game balance after release with multi-player in mind and didn't consider the consequences for single-player. So after a small mod to restore the original resource gather rates, the game is a great time.
So...the same reason everything else sucks, basically.
They literally already failed step one of that plan. Does anyone actually think they can do what this guy is suggesting?
It's hard to hide stuff from the people who manage your communications.
The fact that Mexico is making progress on this is good to see, though also pretty embarrassing as a resident of the USA that our society is moving backwards at the same time.
US conservatives lost the war against homosexuality and so they needed to move on to a new target that didn't have as much mainstream acceptance (yet). There is no good reason for their hatred other than that the fundamental purpose of conservatism is to divide the world between a privileged in-group and a marginalized out-group.
Rich guys like Musk spend so much time getting their ego stoked that I think he might genuinely be unable to process the idea that he made a mistake. The wealthy can never fail, only be failed.
Yeah. I guess this post is now about bad movie adaptations in general.
You are 100% right about the Eragon movie. I loved those books as a kid and I was so excited for that movie and it was just so bafflingly terrible. It was like they didn't even try.
I don't think that would do anything. The problem isn't that they don't know it's wrong, it's that they know they won't face any consequences for their actions.
