No. The repo has Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert 1, Generals with Zero Hour, Renegade, and components for the HD ports of TD and RA1 they put out a few years ago.

- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 6 days ago:
At least some of the remaster source code is in the repo, too. If the TS or RA2 source code is found, people will be immediately able to do that graphics switch for them, too.
- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 6 days ago:
IIRC, a few years ago EA hired some of the original devs, put them in charge of the franchise, and then went very hands-off, but with very little budget. So far they’ve done this, and a very reasonably priced 4K remaster of TD and RA1.
- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 6 days ago:
That’s only the HD remaster of TD and RA1.
- Comment on EA has open sourced Command & Conquer: Red Alert under GPLv3 6 days ago:
Though do also note that of these four, TD and RA1 were already made freeware years ago.

This kind of thing could actually be really beneficial for prosthetics. If we can make a robot that functions as close as possible to a human body at human size, then we can chunk it up to make prosthetics that work like your original limbs and are easy to adapt to.

Which is weird because BOTW’s UI is the worst part of the game. Soooo much scrollingthrough item lists.

Unity’s gameplay was a glorious return to form. Unity’s writing… not so much.

Generals also took the base construction and resource harvesting systems from Blizzard’s games. The entire game feels like it should have been named ModernCraft or something instead of C&C.
Going the other way, Warcraft 1 and 2 used used a left-justified UI that was very similar to the one C&C used, but with elements that would evolve into the StarCraft and Warcraft 3 UI.

I still play games with look inversion because controls were so unstandardized in the '90s that what we currently consider inverted was the default on a good number of games and that was what I learned. I didn’t even go to the modern stick layout until Halo 3 was out, and that mostly worked because I thought of it as WASD + mouse mapped to sticks.
- Comment on Two big Final Fantasy remakes are reportedly still in ‘active development’ 2 weeks ago:
I still haven’t played Part 2, but I’m pretty sure the remake trilogy is a stealth sequel.
- Comment on Two big Final Fantasy remakes are reportedly still in ‘active development’ 2 weeks ago:
FF8 didn’t do it for me, mostly because the gameplay was a terribly broken mess. I loved 12, though; the story is like the love child of Final Fantasy, Game of Thrones, and Star Wars, and the gameplay felt like a logical evolution of the ATB system for a fully 3D world.

I hope the next Fire Emblem uses this. Of course, they didn’t use the Switch’s touch screen, so I’m not holding my breath.

I love that they somehow couldn’t get a picture of someone holding the food, so they just shopped it three times.

Wait until there’s a steep sale on the Complete Edition later on. I only paid $5 for Civ5 Complete, and I think $15 for Civ6 Complete.
- Comment on Sid Meier's Civilization VII | Review Thread 4 weeks ago:
IIRC from when I first got the game, the tutorial hadn’t been updated to account for changes from patches and expansions. It was probably fine for launch day, but decidedly not for the final game.
- Comment on Sid Meier's Civilization VII | Review Thread 4 weeks ago:
Culture victories are never really explained, but that was also a Civ5 issue. I never completely figured out how luxuries/amenities are distributed between your cities, and cities don’t show a breakdown, just how many they have. I do like 6 better than 5 over all, though, but I’m also not OP.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the era system is partially to mitigate the late-game AI issues.

Shatner is also pretty clearly using stage acting techniques instead of screen acting techniques in much of the show, screen acting as a distinct skill still being rather new at the time. You can also see Nimoy using much more modern feeling acting and Kelley using something in between.
- Comment on Samsung is the next company to try to popularize 3D displays (again) 1 month ago:
Holography, the real kind, not the Star Wars kind, is probably the way forward. The display would be about as flat as current ones, but the image would appear three dimensional from any angle and wouldn’t require glasses. You could even lean side to side to change your perspective. I remember reading ages ago that a lab was working on it, but I think they had a frame rate of one every few minutes and it was monochrome and I haven’t heard anything since.
- Comment on Yo, Duplo, what you doing on the 24th? 2 months ago:
Still takes time to run the recycling systems and therefor money.
Also, think of it this way - you spend $X per 1000 bricks, but you can only sell 10% of those bricks. The remaining bricks get melted down at a cost of $Y. You then spend $9X/10 to produce another 900 bricks, of which only 90 are sellable. Rinse and repeat until all bricks are viable. You’ll have spent a hell of a lot of money on the later batches.

Reminds me of Morrowind’s directions, with the frequent east-west mixups, and sporadic north-south mixups.
- Comment on Every place gotta have the cuck booth 3 months ago:
I don’t think it’s for wheelchairs. If it was, the corner of the table wouldn’t be cut off. I mean, where would that person put their food? I think it’s probably to get more room to maneuver between tables.
