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

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.

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 1 week 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.

There is also the idea that time machines work like telephones. You need to have a receiving end made first before you can call it.

The Specialists was amazing. Expect for the players who were min-maxing it, but they were rare. Most people were playing it for the fun of it.

Here is the still image from the video:
-
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.

Yup, human kidneys suck at efficiently filtering out salt and can only do so at a relatively low maximum concentration in the urine. The moment you take salt water that is of higher salt concentration than that, your body uses more water than what you took to eliminate that salt.
- Comment on The existence of billionaires is a policy failure 2 months ago:
They’ve been allowed to game the system to hoard way more wealth than any single person should have been able to. They were supposed to pay their employees more, charge less to their customers or if all fails pay more taxes. But they’ve escaped all of this.
If this was a video game that would be called an “exploit that breaks the gameplay experience for everyone else” and it would have been solved in a patch.

To be fair, to most of those who are used to fresh milk find the taste of UHT milk off-putting, myself included. North Americans do tend to drink more milk too so they go through a bottle long before it goes bad.
