Um, what the fuck? Can people just not be terrible for a little while, please?

As a super casual player, I'm mostly enjoying the spectacle of the campaign. Coming from rts like age of Empires 2, which has a sometimes pretty strict population cap in it's missions (and also medieval technology), being able to build up an unlimited army of giant tanks and mecha is pretty fun. Maybe that loses its novelty at some point. Speaking of novelties, the fmv cutscenes are an interesting choice. I realize they were a fad when the original game was released, but I respect that they decided to preserve that portion of the series' identity.
The use of only one resource is strange. It feels like there are only a couple places on the map (the tiberium fields) that actually matter, and the rest is just empty space. I haven't seen what the multi-player maps look like, maybe they add neutral buildings or something to give the players something to fight over. They've been a couple of those so far.
My opinion is also heavily influenced by the fact that the game is from the time before all the modern bullshit with microtransactions and stuff. Like, I paid for a game, and I received an actually complete game that doesn't try to sell me a bunch more stuff. Wild. Having just moved on from Immortals: Fenyx Rising, which really suffered from being a Ubisoft game despite its charming setting and characters really drives that point home.
The Russian air force is much better off than the army due to Ukraine's lack of modern fighters.
Command and Conquer 3. I'm not very familiar with the series but I'm enjoying it, at least now that I figured out why the campaign was so hard. Apparently they patched the game balance after release with multi-player in mind and didn't consider the consequences for single-player. So after a small mod to restore the original resource gather rates, the game is a great time.
Rich guys like Musk spend so much time getting their ego stoked that I think he might genuinely be unable to process the idea that he made a mistake. The wealthy can never fail, only be failed.
Many disabled people are unable to drink without straws.
On social media, many people have responded to claims that people with disabilities need plastic straws by asking what people did before plastic straws were invented. "They aspirated liquid in their lungs, developed pneumonia and died," says Shaun Bickley, co-chair of the Seattle Commission for People with DisAbilities, a volunteer organization that's supposed to advise the city council or agencies on disabilities issues.
Fwiw, it is absolutely possible to save your whole family in Papers Please. First time players aren't necessarily expected to manage it, though, so you're not wrong about losing family members being the intended experience. It's definitely a game that tries to be "engaging" rather than " fun". I enjoyed it a lot back in college, but who knows how I'd feel now that I have a full-time job.
Yeah, get them! Take the corporations for everything they're worth!
I was hoping the cyberpunk dystopia would at least be cooler to live in.
I guess the lesson is that Netflix was always doomed the moment the companies that actually produce and/or own all the content realized how lucrative streaming could be. They were only as successful as they were because they had no competition.
The nosalises were added to the game because shooter games need generic enemies to shoot. They don't exist in the books, so the actual plot doesn't mention them.
The US legislatures give a lot of power based on seniority. There's a lot of incentive for a party to keep members in office as long as possible.
