  • I played a fair amount of SupCom Forged Alliance with a community patch/mod called FaF. It’s amazing the work that team put forth to make the game run well, but this must’ve been the problem they couldn’t really fix entirely. Played amazingly when I played solo against AI, but once I played with friends online, the in-game speed would start to slow to a crawl by the mid to late game, seemingly driven by unit counts/activity. Game was tons of fun to play, but it was hard to play with my group when the endgame was basically playing in slow motion.


  • I"m a few steps in. I have the hardware. I know what hypervisor I want to use, and I know some of the things I want it to run with plenty of fun sounding projects to get it to host things. Its nearly put together (just an extra cache disk to hook up with cables already ran for it so it’ll take 10 minutes to do). But it’s sat on my desk since March of this year. Unconfigured. Just there.














  • I definitely agree that whatever decision the courts make, this person is not going to be properly rehabilitated via the sentence.

    I obviously have no expertise in the matter, but I really do wonder what the appropriate “consequence” would be for something like this. They’re still a child, basically at 12. But they committed to doing something VERY permanent. Do they have any understanding for what it is they’ve done? I would think they have a semblance of it. Emotions, hormones, and everything about a pre-pubescant can run hot at those ages, but this was an egregious failure for self control.

    I’m very likely just being a fence sitter about it. Murdering someone over something petty like this would be an obvious charge for an assumed adult. Just hard to wrap my head around it when I see news like this I guess.
