We used to do 12-hour, all-night Empire Earth games!

We would all lug our rigs over to one guys house and play, even if we were in separate raid groups

Essentially: the status quo of the past 30 years is dead (and its never coming back), some people just haven’t realized it yet.

Ah OK ty

I’m curious what a DSA is? Googling isn’t helping much

It’s a mess for my team in terms of:

• someone’s video isn’t showing for anyone else
• someone can’t see anyone else’s video
• it resets my camera settings every time I restart it
• microphone settings seem to randomly break, so we always have people running off to grab backup headsets.
• it’s missing thread features (like in slack) so branching discussions are a fucking mess.
• most of my team uses Linux and the screen-sharing as well as file/picture sharing rarely works right.

Before we used a combination of Slack (for text communication) and Google Meet (for video) which was much more reliable a day functional.

The Republicans are much better about using topics they don’t care as much about to generate support so they can achieve the ones they do.

The Democrats tend to want to die on every hill, which is ultimately a losing strategy.
