It was a much more accurate traffic simulation than anything that came before it, save for maybe SimCity 2013, but that wasn't worth shit when you only had a single tile smaller than a Skylines tile to work with. The Skylines 2 traffic simulation is improved quite a bit as well - still has its quirks of course.
This is my desktop at work I'm talking about.
Yeah, I've always had hardware that's a step or two below top of the line for its generation. I had to go through two upgrade cycles before I could max out Far Cry. I had to buy more RAM to turn up the draw distance in Mafia. Hell, I remember my computer chugging when I built too many units in C&C Tiberian Sun...
Surely not!
Are you me? I've been going wild the last 4 years. Mind sharing a top 5 or something? I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
I've basically never used Twitch. Are you saying there's something akin to independent radio on there? How are these streams structured?
I’m pretty sure the vanilla game has the option to choose pronouns that conform to whatever your feelings about gender are.
If you're a hardcore heteronormie, congrats, the default behavior of the game conforms with your worldview. Simply choose a male or female body, and don't even touch the pronouns. They're automatically what they're "supposed" to be.
If not, their families probably institutionalized them.
I guess I'm lucky to live & work somewhere where the system kinda works, but the boomers are a great well of institutional knowledge, and the kids are working hard and changing the game. The ball was kind of dropped in the late 90s & 00s, but now millennials have surpassed gen x in terms of responsibility & authority in my industry and the zoomers I've had the opportunity to train are legit. I'm not sure what happened to gen x, but they all seem kind of sad and/or lost.
I think people are just ignorant of the deep, complex historical roots of the conflict. That's not a personal failing; ignorance can be treated with education. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is very difficult to understand. I just wish people would take a little time to think about their blind spots before commenting on it.

It's funny that Walz is preaching nuance and critical thinking, and yet the people who purport to agree with him in this thread apparently can't synthesize your point. The Holocaust is a stark reminder that genocide will not only continue, but will be improved and augmented by new technologies and ideologies. Like you said, though, that doesn't make it worse than others. I think the issue you're running into is that the point here is Walz is being subjected to ad hominem to distract from a broader discussion on the nature of genocide because such discussions are bad for Israel and their conservative benefactors in the US. Folks ITT probably have it in their heads that you agree that Tim Walz is an antisemite, but as it turns out, two things can be true. The Holocaust is unique in a particular sense, but that is not what Walz is talking about; in the context he is speaking, the Holocaust is not unique. Essentially, the Holocaust, as a vivid and well-documented case study, can and should be a window into the broader history of genocide and human rights abuse.
