  • So that’s a pretty interesting question, because you’re asking for a modern RTS which doesn’t quite exist. It’s not that the RTS genre died, it’s just kind of evolved into two separate paths based on what people enjoyed from those games.

    For those that liked the fast action, APM, control of units, MOBAs have mostly filled that role.

    For those that liked planning out and building a huge base, there are a bunch of base/empire building games.











  • Anyone remember that scene in the beginning of Interstellar where the teacher is reporting to the dad that his daughter was spreading lies that man landed on the moon? It’s supposed to highlight how society has grown so jaded against space exploration that they no longer remember their past accomplishments or the massive advances of technology that space exploration has brought.

    I feel like that’s where we’re heading. In the past decade, many people have become really antagonistic about space. They see big numbers and think it’s a waste of money, failing to understand that the money isn’t being thrown in a pit and set on fire. It’s being used to pay and fund cutting edge research and development on technology that can benefit all of humanity.






  • You know what else killed a good amount of monkeys for their tests? Pretty much every single Class 3 medical device out there. Neuralink didn’t do anything far outside the ordinary with their tests, they just got a lot of media attention because “Elon bad”.

    Medical device testing goes through animal trials before human ones. Those trials use monkeys. Those monkeys often die. The only unusual thing about Neuralink’s tests is a lot of people pretending like they suddenly give a shit.
