I wish worker owned cooperatives were the norm, it’s like this but maxed out


You see, when you look past the sales figures and hype men you eventually come across dozens or hundreds of talented people who create the actual art and entertainment that we all enjoy.

A good work environment means more talented and artistic people will continue to make the things that we enjoy.

Hope this helps


It’s not just semantics the idea that the US is leading implies passive influence rather than active influence.

They’re leading not through inspiration and innovation but as they would with a leash.


yes but the kernel of truth is that is a bit shocking that they were self aware enough to admit not having the information, that’s better than most conservatives


The US isn’t a leader in anything they are imperialist and they meddle. It’s not leadership it’s influence. They’ve consolidated political, economic, and military power and they use all of those to varying degrees to meddle in everyone’s affairs


Very shocking to me that a conservative would barge in with a strong conservative opinion but not know what’s going on and having barely tried to find out.



Fact: most fictional media takes place on earth. They clearly mean the lore will be shared.


Songs of Conquest is a spiritual successor you might be interested in checking out. I agree HoMM3 is still great to revisit and SoC doesn’t quite scratch the exact same itch but it’s a good way to get more of the same but with some variety keeping it fresh


And no matter how many protectionist measures that the US implements we’re seeing that they’re losing the global competition. I guess protectionism and oligarchy aren’t the best ways to accomplish the stated goals of a capitalist economy. How soon before China is leading in every industry?


good point! and maybe they’ll have refined the system so there are more saving opportunities. I’ll keep an open mind. It was enjoyable otherwise


I see your point but “better” is subjective, especially in a single player game imo. I hope it’s an option. I don’t play every game for the same reasons, and it’s presumptuous to think I need to treat this game as a challenge.

Coupled with the systemic things the article talks about like your clothing having a big impact on the game, I foresee getting frustrated and having to redo large sections of the game because of some systemic interaction that I couldn’t have predicted.

I’ll wait and see, but being able to save any time I want would have let me opt in to those frustrations rather than having them forced upon me.


The article makes it seem as if they kept the outdated consumable-based save system, that’s too bad.


I suspect most people will consider that a bad take still and I agree rationally but I’m emotionally there with you. In the face of powerlessness (at least at the individual level: organize if you can!), schadenfreude is the next best thing (actually the next best thing would be deleted and investigated)


Fascism and business always go hand in hand, did we all forget? This isn’t any different than at other times in history


yes and no, ray tracing still requires decisions about fidelity, the same poor decisions can be made in either rendering system
