Churn. they seek new markets and young stupid people. Which is why the game changed from a Privateer/Freelancer on steroids to a mid 2010s open world rust shooter.

They lean bay area confused libertarian/left lib. Basically they think they're ideology free but they're not eating from the trashcan they're feasting on the entire garbage tip.

Yeah, so looking at the permanent members. The US ain't doing shit. The UK is the US but useless. The French might be keen but probably not and are preoccupied with the Beret Confederation. Russia would fucking love to but is a little busy right now.

Which leaves China, who generally adopt a non interventionist approach and might not have the power projection.

And then there are the minor members, who are particularly useless right now, with the only substantial militaries being the ROK (no) and Japan (would be funniest option, but no)

Incredible what Juche can accomplish for the posting mind. Kim come on Hexbear.

I'm here for Zelensky being infiltrated and assassinated by a guy who's wearing a purple and yellow doublet.

For one very happy moment I thought they'd somehow merged Hollow Knight and Satisfactory.

It's significantly less twitchy than similar era games like UT/Q3/Counterstrike/TFC. There's a lot more focus on positioning and momentum and waiting until you find the right firing solution on your target. It feels fast, but most of that's movement not shooting.

Yes. HAHAHA. Yes.

Magic Carpet also feels genuinely innovative even today

I've noticed this too. There are already C-level agencies where a hedge fund can dial up a specific board for their purpose, from fucking over the founders of a seed start-up, to pivoting from a pro-consumer growth model to profit maximisation, to "Strip the copper wiring before the smallholders notice".

See also the heads of banks and financial institutions going from among the richest captains of industry to mere money butlers with values 2 orders of magnitude below their clients.

There's no longer a spectrum of bourgoise, there's your local used car salesman or medium business owner with 30 employees. And then there's the mega rich. Everyone in between is now Labour Aristocracy and eventually, they're gonna realise that.

It doesn't even need to be seamless. We've been using the Airlock/warp space/elevator trick to hide loading screens for decades!

I've not even seen the left in game. Closest was the LIST settlers quest.
