Sorry to say but “BRICS” is far from “made up nonsense” here in Brazil. There’s plenty of export and some industries that got a boost thanks to it, it’s a very real economic block. I don’t know why you would think that it is not real, especially now that we are setting up a payment system to avoid the dollar usage.

Thank you.

Thankfully.

People underestimate how powerful stickers are to the average person

I still miss the days of MSNPlus where I could add text shortcuts to display reaction images/gifs

The article doesn’t really dismiss the argument even if the initial paragraphs make it seem like it, it just concludes that it seems unlikely to reach a point where the US could leverage the influence on a future local government, which is true but does not exclude/invalidate the previous proposition

No, no, please, downvoters, inform me as to the history of Afghanistan’s booming oil industry.

A far more effective tool

I though I would have an aneurism reading their presentation page on Sora.

Base windows 8 still had a very performant search, though a bit worse than 7. 8.1 is where it got truly fucked up.

It really doesn’t matter. The majority of the population are neither lawyers nor judges. The argument you are making is not relevant.

Honestly it varies a lot. I’m the kind of user that would rather have self contained apps (even if electron) whenever possible instead of new browser tabs/windows. So unless a electron app is notoriously bad, I’d rather have it avilable than not

This almost reads like satire

Capcom has been removing denuvo in 6-12 months. I’ll just wait till then

Wouldn’t be the first time.

Something about the way you worded the first paragraph makes it read as if you are stating your opinion and not mocking the reason most people go “Tencent bad”. I had to re-read a couple times to understand it. I do agree with your critique.

Yeah sure

In what context would a UI/UX be considered a texhnocrat? I’m very confused

When they implemented in-channel streaming

The one thing I would argue that is a bit “new” is that they had a design paradigm similar to immersive sims on their systems, and that is not so common on these kind of top down rpg.

But yeah, the real “innovation” was just making an actually polished game.
