  • This isn’t exactly “can’t live without,” that would be HomeAssistant. But what I Immediately thought of?

    Beyond All Reason

    This is an RTS game in the spirit of Total Annihilation.

    • labor of love
    • fully 3d, including ability to rotate or raise/lower view
    • tens of thousands of units without hardware lag for reasonably modem hardware (3-4 years old)
    • all shots actively rendered, leading to:
    • realistic friendly fire
    • even air units can get hit by ballistic shots targeting land units (although odds are fairly slim)
    • redirect-unit-to-dodge micro is effective in some situations
    • meaningful terrain
    • radar will have blind spots based on line-of-sight
    • radar gives clear indicator of coverage during placement
    • two factions, almost 200 units each, with tier 1, 2, and 3 units. A third (currently playable with a setting change) faction is in the works.
    • crafty, non-cheating ai opponents
    • free server hosting (!)
    • active servers all times of day

    The overall feel and balance of the game is great. The changes they make to balance are generally light and reasonable, and the game had a good community.

    Fam and friends play together often.

    This is the process of excessive liberality turning into excessive authority, and relates to what Republicans react to (with equally excessive zeal) by calling democrats fascist.

    Democrats are not (necessarily) fascists. Republicans are not (necessarily) nazis. But the problematic tendencies of the extremes of the parties aren’t resolved by going more extremely partisan and authoritarian.

    Did you even read what I wrote?

    Those few Dems are clearly the ones pushing this. But that it should be bipartisan and should have more support in general has nothing to do with false equivocation.

    The irony here, though, is that because of your partisan BS, you clearly interpreted that as an insult to the Democrats.
