But being financially literate wouldn’t stop them from stealing your pension.

Get class conscious. Then murder these people

I used to think I was a bad programmer, but honestly, at least I can fucking type

while the ones who use it stay quiet

You clearly don’t pay attention to hacker news

Read like any of the replies in this thread, I beg of you.

It’s very good. The sequel, not so much from what I hear.

The strength of supreme commander comes from the ability to chain up multiple commands across units, buildings and waypoints. So you can have 20 factories, whose rally point is a ferry waypoint where 10 or so dropships fly your mass produced units across the map to a secret, stealth cloaked bridgehead you’ve built on the enemy’s continent. Or you can have bombers and fighters build and then automatically join a patrol. You can build repair bases near these routes so that they can quickly reload or repair intelligently without your intervention. You can tell factories to just constantly churn out units, and you can copy and paste whole arrays of buildings to allow for incredibly fast base building. Adjacent buildings also give each other boosts and efficiencies.

It has some really great strategic and tactical weapons and base defenses. The super weapons are really fun and due to the games scale, never op. The late game nuclear warfare is a hoot, with your main objective being too try and make a hole in your enemies nuclear interceptor shield so you can land a nuke.

Your supreme commander and subcommander builder units can be upgraded with all kinds of add-ons, including teleporters that you can use to teleport them into an enemy base and then nuclear self-destruct.

There’s land, sea, submarine and air combat with aircraft carriers that can carry up to a hundred aircraft. There’s also submarine aircraft carriers, land aircraft carriers and flying aircraft carriers.

The game is genuinely incredible.

I got so good at supreme commander that I could 3vs1 my TeamSpeak friends and whoop them every time. Eventually they wouldn’t play with me.

I suck at every other RTS.

Also I’m an incredible lover, for real

I genuinely thought Blockchain technology was the worst thing to happen for Earth’s climate, and then techbro grifters and capitalists came out with a technology with an even less favourable use case to environmental destruction ratio.

The planet is already fucked and these bastards have just found yet one more way to stick the boot in and hasten the end.

This is just one issue I have with it. On top of that we have the inevitable financial crash that will affect us plebs more than the elites, the job losses and further concentration of capital in the hands of the few, assuming AI actually delivers on its promises, and the mountains of brain rotting slop that it spits out. Oh, I also forgot the cost inflation of computer parts and energy bills for regular people.

What’s so great about AI that you can ignore all of this? Was your life pre-LLM unliveable or something?

I’d watch an Immortan Joe backstory movie. I know there’s some comics that cover it, but still…

No mention of being genocide enjoyers which I think is important

Funny, because this kind of snarky reply would be perfectly at home on Reddit.

I joined hexbear almost 4 years ago after being banned for suggesting a that a brick would be a far cheaper solution than a guillotine for dealing with the British royal family.

The Naughty Boys.

Cos they are naughty and need spanking.

Yeah. I’ve been enjoying them a lot this year

Genuinely reflects my experience in Latin America. Although Europeans have a huge blindspot for their own bullshit

That’s the best thing about being a hexagonal bear. What down votes?

Lol. To be expected from fascists

Meeting and taking to USAians about the rest of the world is an infuriating experience. They are incapable of introspection and they practically go cross eyed when I start listing the things they have done in my lifetime, let alone the fun laundry list of atrocities.

This goes for Europeans and the English too.

How can Ukraine lose with all those wunderwaffens?

Can’t say I agree. I haven’t smoked regularly now for almost a year, but occasionally just buy a single if I’ve had a beer and have a craving. That’s the nice thing about Latin America, you can buy single cigarettes. I smoke one, feel guilty, and then don’t think about them for a month or so.
