That's ... not correct. It parodies all the factions, while simultaneously underlining how hypocritical each of them are by the sheer brutality of the actual means used. Westwood's image of GDI as the good guys (which are canonically a continuation of globohomo, the EU, and the UN) is far more of positive, but even they are shown to be callous towards mutants and everyone else who gets in their way through soft means instead of Nod's overt violent means.

What if someone modded all toxin weapons to be a brown color, made all GLA units reskinned to a dalit brown, and used AI to go over all lines with a curry accent?

Your mom sucks too op but we dont make threads about it.
There is a reason this game is one of the most modded and played games of all times.

I really enjoyed the missions watching those darn useless civies turn to green goo and melt, wasnt as much fun as red alert 2 where the reds paradropped onto the vacation beaches and had the fat americans running around and get irradiated.
Generals was kind of a fuck up like everything ea laid its hands on, but it turned out pretty ok, compared to cnc3 or even ra3(whos only selling point is the porn).

I think they hit the spot in tiberian sun, gdi was this sort of goodie twoshoes faction, arrogant and too sure of itself in its own right, with no real plan, the people in it just thought they did the right thing.
Kind of like nod also did what they thought was the right thing of their own, unorthodox and brilliant, the noddies had little to lose and lots to gain driven by genius revolutionary vision and united the people abandoned by gdi, not even because of malice but incompetence and arrogance.
It is a brilliant portrait of opposing view points, while one faction is the overertly good and the other the bad, its not really that simple and presents a very unique contrast of ideology and politics that can be rarely found elsewhere, in most games its just downright good guys vs bad guys figh

It's worse than you think. 
Average week-day is 
>7* hours sleep
>8 hours working
>1 hour in traffic
>4-6 hours doomscrolling and staring at a character of a videogame
*many adults miss sleep to scroll on phones and about 20% of Americans suffer sleep disorders related to phone usage.

This leaves only 2 hours left for actually living. 
Your parents had 8 hours of free time but phone addiction has eaten away at this. Doomscrolling and videogames is just data gathering and consumerism, which enriches the fiends who make us waste more than 50% of our day doing miserable and meaningless tasks for them.

This actually startles me somewhat since it was indeed about 3 years ago almost when I finally stepped away from leadership in my clan and never looked back. But I was far more active on Discord than on Steam. Was it Foxhole? If so, you know exactly who I am.

You're right. Alone, you cannot save the world. However, you can make a difference in life. For me, I found my purpose in saving a couple kids. This is not "saving the world" but to a few people, I am a hero of a very small world. The feeling is indescribable. Whatever happens, I am cemented in the memories of a few people forever. 
For others, maybe it is personal, like attaining the accomplishment of hiking the Appalachia trail (just an example). That's a lofty goal that would take months if not years depending on your parameters. Things like this are great because you *will* meet really interesting people who are already primed to be social and friendly. 

You say that you lack the drive to invest in being social anymore. I think that's because you feel like all your effort is a waste because it's never reciprocated. Everyone else is too busy tapping away at the fake world of social media to appreciate you trying to reach out to them. I've learned these past few years that proximity is the key ingredient in maintaining a real friendship. Long distance relationships are usually empty. That's just human nature to drift apart from people our b

Leave the webring. Unironically.

The problem is everything is boring as fuck. Its like the world lost its romance or adventure or something. We are living in the enshittification epoch. Its everywhere and everything. Everything has been financialized to death. The midwit/censorship/HR takeover. Economic stagnation. Culture ate itself.AI is the only interesting thing, but its only slop for the masses. The internet was meant to level up civilization, not destroy it. Its like we stopped believing that civilization was a project. Like one lad starts digging a hole in the beach and next thing you know, all the other lads have joined in. Thats spontaneous organization which becomes civilization. And I swear the solution is easy, because its just a confidence game. If people would simply believe in themselves and their culture again, and commit to it, and just believe tomorrow will be better than today, then the whole thing is solved. Fucked if I can do it though.

OP here. I did indeed make this thread to see what would happen, and I can't say I'm disappointed.

>>323710 (OP) 
8moe is the closest there is to the original 8 today, but that mostly includes copying all the mistakes of the original (they even kept Mark), many of the positives are impossible for anyone to replicate because the userbase that created those positives gave up on imageboards.
Acid is full of himself as usual so he spins it as "we're the righteous successor" and not "we failed to learn anything from past fuckups".

ohhh, yes, I went to a travelling one that would spring up like spirt halloween, one at a summer camp, bowling alleys, pizza shops, on the boardwalk, chuck e cheese. the cheapest one was at an arcade; it had four colored steering wheels it was a monster truck racing in 3rd person. that awful game ate my coins while my friends went to play the more expensive flashier systems, but I almost always had friends watching me play on the last machine because I saved my coins killing time on that race car game, It was intoxicating having people cheer. 
I recall when I first started playing at arcades I had to justify every coin to my parents; their judgement on whether I could play a machine by the description I gave. Too excited I would be told to sit down, mature themes get less coins than I asked for, getting lots of coins parents joined me on the floor. In hindsight it was a good idea; I checked in every few minutes they could sit and chat. The modern card swipe losses the going to the loan officer feeling.

>>327291
>There's a gigantic difference between the arcades of old and not owning games that you buy yourself.
No, there's not. Arcades were even more extractive because you were essentially just renting time. You just have a bias due to arcades being historical. 

>If you're actually defending non-ownership, go fuck yourself.
Stop crying. You buy a DRM-free copy of a game and you own it. It's that simple. 

>>327296
I love arcade gaming. There used to be one I'd go to as a kid one in a blue moon and I'd like when laundromats would have a cabinet. I used to play Samurai Shodown while the spin cycle was on.

Having the base of Maslows hierarchy of needs met doesn't mean that ones life is good.
Especially awful when ones parents constantly use that fact against you to shut you up when you complain about basically anything.

Something I did by instinct before even knowing it's important and even good if you live with a partner: do the boring stuff that need to be done.
Cut the grass, sweep leaves, clean the bathroom, take the trash out, cook, buy groceries, fix stuff, pay together, support the house.
All this is necessary wherever you live, but not doing make everyone who lives there stressful. An environment with less is stress is way more easy to live.

That and having a bit of boundaries, hard to create as it depends on the parents.
Oh, and don't try to change anyone, if they want to do stupid shit, as long as it don't directly affect you, let them do it.

>>326950
Most of that stuff unless it's a partner is solo-stuff, I guess it works to keep your NEET tendie points high but you are just cleaning up after other people who increasingly output more trash if you clean up after them like a lil bitch.

Treating someone else like you expect to be treated only works as much as the other party is as much alike to you in their values and outlook. 
Universalism is quite optimistic to propose that satisfactory compromise is always possible.

Its hard to say because the medieval period was approx. 1000 years, so its difficult to summarize or generalize. A thousand years is so lang that, if you went back a thousand years from today, half the period would still be the medieval period.

>Though arsenic can enter soil or water due to weathering of arsenic-containing minerals in the earth, humans are more to blame than Mother Nature for arsenic contamination in the U.S. today, according to the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. The U.S. is the world's leading user of arsenic, and since 1910 about 1.6 million tons have been used for agricultural and industrial purposes, about half of it only since the mid-1960s. Residues from the decades of use of lead-arsenate insecticides linger in agricultural soil today, even though their use was banned in the 1980s. 

It's not the rice it's the toxic amerimutt pesticides that caused this.

>lead-arsenate pesticide
Fuck amerifat retards and fuck all pesticides, it's all jewish poison to poison people with over some shady kike mythical story that has never been proven of ~20% crop gains. Pesticides are the same story as vaccines. I bet its actually -gain to crops and it's all fucking fake.
