  There has been tons of products with fake reviews for over a decade as well by now.

  I remember back when Amazon was a source for trustworthy products in the earlier days. Then they let the shady sellers in. Then they hid the country of origin. Then allowed fake reviews. And now they’re hiding the reviews they don’t like? Why would anyone want to purchase anything from that site at that point?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Land where⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are so many things that you can land on land that will absolutely ruin your day when going for land. A large boulder, a large tree, a cliffside, a building, something flammable, near an angry hungry bear… The open sea is seen as safer in the American school of thought.

  I wouldn’t call Android “brilliant” nowadays if you count the forks that come pre-installed on most phones nowadays. It’s bloated to the gills and keeps the user locked out of being able to control what certain apps can do and access.

  I know exactly the video you’re taking about and it reminds me of something that I find mind-blowing. Just like crocodilians, sharks haven’t evolved much in millions of years. But there can be a seemingly chaotic and fast paced feeding frenzy with a dozen sharks all competing to grab a bite of something and somehow they don’t bite each other. How they manage to do that amazes me.

  I agree. If the fediverse allows crap like that and it grows new users will be turned away by their feed being filled with garbage posts like that.

  You constantly radiate heat. The warmer you are, the faster you radiate it away. In space this does not stop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beyond All Reason⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  IMO Supreme Commander failed to capture the original game’s soul had. You had a sense of an epic battle going on when playing. I think it was because it always devolved into playing all zoomed out, watching tiny strategic icons moving across the map, blinking and disappearing. I can’t even tell you what any of the units looked like because we almost never see them. The fact that they gave generic names to units and structures such as “level one point defence turret” didn’t help either.

  BAR does a much better job of keeping the player zoomed in and into the action, seeing and feeling so the cool details of the battle going on. Heavy plasma batteries blowing up chunks of advancing armies and terrain, lasers blowing up i dovidual targets in rapid succession, sending debris flying everywhere, this was all what TA was about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beyond All Reason⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand that, but if a third-party was to make a mod that restores the old names, I don’t see how they could possibly be held legally liable for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beyond All Reason⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish someone made a mod for this game that restored the names of the units and buildings to all their Total Annihilation equivalents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ice on ice.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Here is the still image from the video:

  Image

  • A muzzle flash normally shows as a “ball” of high pressure hot gas in front of the muzzle. In the image there is no “ball” of light in front of the muzzle. It is the snow on the ground being lit by the light

  • There is also the possibility of muzzle glow directly at the muzzle. But the white streak at the front end of the barrel cannot be that because muzzle glow is orange-red, not white and would not last long enough to make a streak on camera because of the movement and exposure time. The muzzle flash would have also washed it out.
