Only if they already have the correct password.

In Star Trek SNW's crossover episode with Lower Decks (cartoon), Boimler's first comment when he meets the crew from SNW is that they look "very realistic"

Reading the full statement, it sounds to me like there was more to it than just the game's development coming to an end. It sounds like it might have been a very sudden decision by the publisher, with possible negative consequences for the development team.

In principle I agree though, there is no issue with a game just being finished at some point, especially a single player one. But I also don't mind continued updates and/or DLC.

Electric vehicles are less likely to catch fire than combustion engine vehicles, by far. EV fires are harder to extinguish however.

Reddit not being the entire internet doesn't mean that every bit of information on reddit is also available elsewhere.

Obscure old reddit posts saved my ass so many times when coming across random tech problems. So while I understand why people delete their accounts, from a personal point of view I appreciate when people leave them up.

It was something on Windows 3.1 or DOS, but I can't say for sure which game it was. I played a lot of Microman, so it might have been that.

That is very much not their official website. Looks pretty sketchy in fact, with that "GTA V Download APK" link on the bottom.

It's a common term in the UK, meaning a holiday where banks are closed, including religious holidays. So what most people know as just a regular holiday.

what if, by giving the lesser evil more energy and making them a greater evil, you give them the ability to put you in prison camps when the original greater evil could not?

You haven't explained how that is supposed to work though. Why couldn't the greater evil do this, what's stopping them? And you truly think that every political party has the very same goals underneath? Let's take an extreme example: Germany 1932. You think if the SPD (social democrats) had won the election instead of the NSDAP, it would have been just as bad? You think they would have also slaughtered all the Jews and started WW2, because they were secretly just as evil? That doesn't sound reasonable or realistic to me. There's more to politics than whether a party is capitalist or socialist. Nuances exist.

How far capitalists and the state are willing to go is as far as they think they can get away with.

I don't agree with this, but going along with it for the sake of the argument: By letting the greater evil get into power, you are showing them that they can get away with way more than if it were the lesser.

So let's say you didn't vote for the lesser evil and the greater evil has narrowly won. The greater evil takes away your right to vote and puts you into a prison camp. What have you gained, a sense of moral superiority? Was that worth it?

It'll likely be like 2020, you can play offline but it'll be a much less detailed version of the planet. They pretty much have to use streaming for the high-detail environments, as nobody would have the disk space for it otherwise.
