Ive played faf its a very different feeling game. Faf feels awful. I'd say bar is next gen because a total annihilation style game has never been a huge rts title and I think bar is the one that can reach the mainstream rts audience and beyond.
More modern graphics and less unit types but more micro opportunity. Also zero k has buildable terrain in the form of ramps and walls. Bar has terrain deformation but can't actively do it with contractors.
Idk I haven't played Zero K but it's a good rts as well.
I was an extremely casual rts player for years playing mainly aoe3. Beyond all reason captured me instantly with the controls. Basically other rts games control difficulty with limited control scheme so you require high apm. Bar gives players as many quality of life controls as they want and allows for long action queues. I can queue up a unit to operate for 10mins while I focus on other parts of the game.
Bar also has basically no pop limit so you're only limited by the resources you control it also doesn't incentivize storing large amounts of resources. So wealthy is income focused. This means if you have more map control you have more wealth but because units drop a %of their cost in wrecks if you're behind and you win a good fight and can control the wreckage field you can catch up.
There is also so much more like the ability to transfer units, metal, energy to other players at 0 cost means working together is op. Strats involve a lot of "communism" and communication to decide where on the map needs the resources.
Example I might have won my side of the map and I'll send some metal over to another player who is losing so they can stay in the fight. Or my eco player will make units and sell them to players for their metal costs. Which means front players don't need to pay the metal and energy cost of building a t2 lab they just pay the unit cost.
To understand the geopolitics you first need to understand that genocide means nothing to these countries. Countries will pretend to give a fuck when they can use that as a reason to justify their actions but when it doesn't align with their interests the ignore it.
In the scale of the US GDP this amount is nothing.
The US spends easily 500x this on its citizens. Foreign aid is essential for America to maintain its place in the world order. This investment pays for itself a million times over through American foreign relations and trade.
So to answer your question, this is not insulting because it's a tiny fraction of Americas budget and it will benefit America and its citizens.
Arch's defaults haven't always been good and I'd argue they are still not good enough for users to rely on. As an arch user (im not an arch user) you are expected to not just plug and play everything without checking its configuration matches your system and needs.
60 million empty units would only drive down the price of housing if they were in the cities where people wanted to live. As I understand most of these empty units are in undesirable locations so housing prices increase cities should remain stable.
Nothing I can do. As far as I know there is no bomb safety infrastructure near my house plus I'm afraid of getting trapped underground so I wouldn't want to risk sitting in one.
I'd crack a beer, sit out on my deck and call my family and close friends to say my goodbyes.
You will never achieve full spectrum dominance kid
Do you think the government is only removing misinformation and foreign propaganda? I'm in Vietnam right now, the government plays propaganda on a loudspeaker daily. The history they portray over here is verifiably false and intentionally misleading.
I think people should just comment whatever they want. Give me your off the top of your head thoughts. We dont need every comment to be an expert analysis.
Lemmy isn't big enough to gatekeep content and when it becomes big enough most people won't care about the gate keeping
