I was like... dutifully massing together a Lil platoon of fire bats, marines, and medics, like I liked to do, when a loving MASS of battle cruisers emerged from the dark. Lol. gently caress that.

the first online interaction I ever had was joining a red alert 2 lobby and people kept saying "lol" and I asked what it meant and they said "laugh out loud" and I didn't get it and thought they were laughing at me because I didn't know what "lol" meant and didn't figure out what "lol" meant until much later

I cannot express how glad I am that the metaverse nonsense hasn't gone anywhere, I don't want to be more engaged in time sinks like that.

If I could actually engage in the early game before that became a problem, though, it was some real poo poo. Being able to stage orders and execute at once was phenomenal, especially for terror drones etc

FA has been somehow gaining in the last ~2-3 years with a bunch of development activity. I'm just happy to see it, considering how the company that made it was thoroughly flushed down the drain.

I still play TA for a few hours every other year or so. I was never good at it from a pvp perspective (at least against anyone who is experienced enough to counter a flash rush ) but I have a good time with the campaign or just fighting the computer on a giant map. The spiritual successors/spring have all failed to click with me.

Didn't they make it harder for smaller people to use that service now? I remember there was a change earlier this year that I think led to them being in this position.

From what i understand its less that its losing money and more that venture funds giving them money are mad that its not making infinite money yesterday, which leads to attempts to squeeze users, causing people to leave, reducing income and increasing the desire to try and squeeze more out of the rest. Capitalism!

Meta's earnings report came out today and it was a disaster. The company has dumped $9 billion into the metaverse/VR poo poo alone which is insane. This article goes into more details about the specifics of how badly the company has been skidding in the last year- https://twitter.com/derektmead/status/1585414654830206977?s=20&t=rxO5rEA8dYlYcbI-iKfAfg

You would think these morons would learn that no one really liked the Xbox semi realistic avatars the 360 did and the more expressive and cartoony Wii/3DS Mii's were more popular because they could be funny and didn't look like weird homunculi. But I'm not a techzillionaire so who knows.
