Yeah, they don't like us much.

This is true, it can really throw off the tone. But for a game that is supposed to be about going to school, it didn't really feel like it.

Maybe they did try it and had to drop it because it wasn't fun. Not sure.

I absolutely liked the castle, was very cool, but aside from a few story missions it didn't feel like you were in school.

You can run around at night without issue, didn't have to attend certain classes until you wanted. Maybe some more persona style social simulation aspects mixed in would help. Idk.

This is where I was. Decent game, just lost interest after like 2 weeks. There was a bit too much fishing around in the inventory and clicking through menus.

There were definitely a few cool moments in it, but I think they got to engrossed in the procgen planets to really give it all that handcrafted feel. Having 1000 planets forced the content to be too spread out. And other games have been out for years that handle the procgen better.

7/10 review guy was right. Decent game with some cool parts, but also a lot of issues and annoyances.

I think you are overestimating the value of special forces. We kind of mythologize them with our media, but they are not action heroes. You arnt going to send them into a hostile city where Hamas is not in uniform, planned for the retaliation, had time to prepare, and expect them to come out with low casualties.

For example of what this looks like with the US, refer to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mogadishu_(1993)

Even the US after 9-11 didn't just send in spec ops after Osama, they went in whole hog. And that was estimated at about 4.5 million casualties all around.

It sucks, but Hamas isn't going to start wearing uniforms and abiding by the Geneva convention any time soon.

And then you would either need to wait for your satellite to get over the target, or add a lot more weight to maneuver it to the target.

If you add wings for precision you are adding drag and heat, both sapping from your destructive power.

If your weapons satellites all start maneuvering to cross your opponents' cities then they probably would have a bit of a warning that you are planning something, and likely just shoot them down at a much cheaper cost. Anti satellite missiles have been shown to work, and it would be easy to overheat a satellite with lasers.

You also have to contend with them just nuking you in response. If Moscow were to be destroyed in a single blast they would not wait to determine if it was nukes or something else, they would fire.

Well it's kind of open to interpretation, which may be why they didn't want to directly say that, just imply it.

Article 19 of the Geneva convention:

The protection to which civilian hospitals are entitled shall not cease unless they are used to commit, outside their humanitarian duties, acts harmful to the enemy. Protection may, however, cease only after due warning has been given, naming, in all appropriate cases, a reasonable time limit, and after such warning has remained unheeded.

Now are firing qassam rockets "harmful to the enemy"? Probably.

Has due warning been given? Maybe? It's not well defined what that means. Does roof knocking count? Do you need to submit a form to their embassy?

I think the big problem is that the kind of warfare we are seeing here is unlike what they saw when they wrote those laws.

They would just stay up later if they knew they could sleep in. It won't fix that.

Also, If we are going to change it, we need to just shift everyones starting time back an hour so their parents can still take them to school before work. Or possibly drop some time off the workday.

I thought it was decent, but not great. I really liked them exploring the characters a bit more.

If they would have cut the last minute off it would have been better. I don't honestly know what they should have done with Ed, but probably not that.

Imagine if someone from Japan bombed China, and China's response was bombing random people in Tokyo.

That's actually super common response. The US did exactly that.

And just how is that legislature going to stop him. Couldnt do it when he was blocking weapons from going to Ukraine, won't be able to now.

Those are vastly different in resource requirements than filling in a bubble, unless you were already planning on donating, doing a phone bank, of volunteering for another candidate.

Filling in the top circle or the one below it takes you like a second if you are already voting.
