Oh, but Zbigniew Ziobro (the minister) IS kinda insane in other aspects. He's a hardcore conservative. His childhood/teenage hero was Janosik, a highlander bandit along the lines of Robin Hood. Being a fan of vigilante justice i

Can someone explain the hype about VVVVVV? I bought it and concluded there are no fixed level platformers I enjoy. At least with Spelunky or Catacomb Kids I can bash my head against different walls. I suspect I'm partially at Asperger&

I've become a fan of terminal, I use the i3 tiling window manager. Thumbnails is one of the few remaining reasons why I occasionally launch Thunar file manager. Whenever I have a messy folder like Downloads, having thumbnails at a glan

If Taiwan is not a country but a Chinese province, why is China ashamed of it? A province famous for electronic industry and very successful against global pandemic.

I'll give you another example. A man was removed from a Polish reality TV show because he had been accused of rape outside Poland. The TV station was TVN, owned by US. The participant had received a sexual favor from a 16 year old. The

Ever heard that Taiwan is doing a stellar job holding off coronavirus? No, because China presses WHO into not mentioning Taiwan. We could learn a lot from Taiwan. China doesn't just boycott Taiwan, it makes others act as if the country

Maybe not single out China, but many people think China is particularly untrustworthy: they insist Chinese law is used outside China, and lecture people how they should refer to China in public; they operate concentration camps; the

I love the atmosphere and the originality, but you shouldn't go into the cycle expecting action - it's like expecting action from Blade Runner. The first book takes 100 or 200 pages to describe the events of a single day. Some cha

I browsed some online listings for ECC memory modules, and they seem to be sold one module at a time. Standard DDR4 modules are sold in pairs, to benefit from dual channel mode. Does ECC memory support dual channel??

I do a lot of running, currently 40 minutes every 2 days. It's true that it took me A LOT of time to adapt to barefoot walking. And the pain was obvious and went away within weeks. Much more time was needed for my soles to regain flexi

Ancient Romans, asbestos and radioactive material users probably also thought they did research.

They cause health problems on the level comparable to smoking or bad sleep.

Except they did have. Romans and antique people in general were smarter than you give them credit for. When they were about to set up a city, they would look for local villages and check how many long lived people there were. If people were

People have the right to be wary of inventions like GMO and 5G. Burk & Braun used to produce Radium Schokolade, Hippman-Blach bakery - Radium Bread. Dr. Alfred Curie (not related) used to sell toothpaste with radium+thorium. Impotence t

It's interesting that many games show violence but not many show suffering and pain. People just drop dead when shot. Quake 2 had very painful death animations for the weakest enemies. Games that want a PG16 rating need to remove blood

Because violence against men is acceptable, violence against women is a big no-no. Have you seen a movie where a woman is kicked in crotch? Countless movies teach us that men kicked in crotch are funny. Compare reactions: https:/&#x2F

Not only that, but our indie darlings have started to take shortcuts en masse . The promise of roguelike games used to be "no two games are alike". Today, multiple players criticize Noita for not having permanent unlocks. Steam t

Perhaps, but many RTS games don't even bother with stuff that would also work on small scale. High ground, effect of various terrain types. Slower movement, terrain which only infantry can cross. Garrisoned structures. C&C has this

Pronunciation can be challenging but words are spelled in a very consistent manner. There are few exceptions where the word isn't spoken like the letters suggest (for example: zmarznięty).

Northgard is a quite popular game that proves a semi-casual RTS can be successful. It's designed like a mix of Settlers and a board game.

This article is biased towards Blizzard-style RTS. Not a single C&C game mentioned. Not even RA2 and C&C:Generals, which had very healthy multiplayer scenes. Blizzard RTS games are extremely conservative by design, how are things su
