They also distributed general military gear you could purchase from them. But yes this is logistics being hit, not manufacturing.

We're not even sure how to deal with intelligent life on Earth yet. Let's figure that one out first, shall we?

Pixel art is just a stylistic choice. Development of such textures is usually more accessible, but not necessarily easier. There's a real art to making pixel art look good.

Like, does this look bad or lazy to you?

If so I strongly recommend trying to make some pixel art yourself, you'll quickly find it's not all that easy.

Hard to tell without due process.

So scientific fraud then. Will anyone be punished for it though?

There's an... animation of her and the villager by Minus8 that gained some notoriety over the years.

You're absolutely correct, and few people realise this. They think "baseline = stable power", but that's not what you need. You need a quick and cheap way to scale up production when renewables don't produce enough. On a sunny, windy day, renewables already produce more than 100% of needs in some countries. At that point, the 'baseline' needs to shut down so that this cheap energy can be used instead. The baseline really is a stable base demand, but the supply has to be very flexible instead (due to the relative instability of solar and wind, the cheapest sources available).

Nuclear reactors can shut down quite quickly these days, but starting them back up is slow. But worse, nuclear is quite expensive, and maintaining a plant in standby mode not producing anything is just not economically feasible. Ergo, nuclear is terrible for a baseline power source (bar any future technological breakthroughs).

Unreal pushes a lot of "hip tech" that supposedly improves performance, but often it turns out that many example cases are just really poorly optimised. With more traditional optimization techniques more can be achieved.

Unreal can perform really, really well, it's just that it won't by default. And many devs are too lazy to properly profile their games to figure out how to improve it.

It's rather the opposite. Big oil pushes nuclear because nuclear directly competes with renewables, and because nuclear is a centralised power generation solution that they can fully own, in contrast with stuff like rooftop solar or onshore wind. Shell has a share in General Atomics, BP is eyeing investments into nuclear energy.

Nuclear fusion might truly be an answer, but there is nothing that nuclear does that renewables can also do, but cheaper and faster.

If the US hadn't pulled out, the Taliban wouldn't be in charge. So Trump killed it.

Indirectly doing things allows anyone to take the blame!

Technically it would be a renouncement of their claims over the mainland. For a long time the Taiwanese government considered themselves to be the legitimate government of China.

His acting skills were always pretty good, the direction and scrips he got are another story.
