  • The article compares it to a well done page of text for Charles Dickens from a previous game. They want it more like that: “Fun facts! Good gags! Frikkin’ frequent paragraph breaks!”

    It goes on to say: “I’d settle for the game bothering to clue me into who its major historical cameos actually are. Shadows is a huge game with a massive cast, and yet bizarrely you won’t find pages about any of the characters in your codex, fictional or otherwise. Who is Hattori Hanzō, and why doesn’t the game care to explain why I should be so impressed when he shows up?”





  • Given they are such a small country, they can certainly produce some things locally. Obvious choices are small arms, artillery, and MRAPs. Anything beyond that they could probably pick one thing to specialize in, such as anti-air missile production or destroyer production, then export these to other countries. They currently export F-35 components, among other things.

    However, expanding past that would be too inefficient for their size. Everything else they will need to buy from a partner. This will almost certainly include production from other European countries as well as the US.

    My first thought was: why have I never heard of this? The answer seems to be: 2" x 3" photo paper costs $0.41/ea.

    Mail-order professional photo prints are quite a bit cheaper than that. So, the main thing this contends with is other instant photo creation methods. Which are pretty niche ever since digital cameras became good.








  • In addition to what the other guy said, Mint is also more focused on desktop. A bunch of apps are pre-installed that one would expect on a desktop OS. Additionally, the default Mint UI, Cinnamon, feels very familiar to a Windows user. It has a start menu, task bar, tray, etc.

    Debian is in the same family, and is more oriented for servers. It is super minimal out of the box, which is perfect when you want it to sit in the other room and perform specific tasks. However, you can install all the same programs, even the Cinnamon UI on Debian.

    Really the difference is the out of box experience, but they are otherwise pretty similar.
