WC3 was the pinnacle of the PC RTS gaming era imo
I've heard a lot of mixed opinions on the WC3 Leaders mechanic, as it focuses gameplay around farming and single points of failure (losing a leader at the wrong moment often meant losing the game)
In that light, Starcraft was the pinnacle of PC RTS gaming and WC3 was an experimental variation that branched off into an RTS variant that would eventually congeal into DOTA, the pinnacle of PC MOBA gaming.
That’s like saying “A hamburger is good, but I just can’t into bacon double cheeseburgers.”
I mean, I would say this unironically.
I'll add that WC1 had fewer variances between factions. Orcs and Humans were almost identical. That made the game more akin to a real time digital chess than WC2, which made Orcs marginally more aggressive and Humans more defensive. I think WC2 is more fun because of the asymmetry, but that's purely a question of taste. I'm not going to begrudge someone who has a fondness for the original.
It only really makes sense when the remaster is trash
I gotta disagree. Even when the remaster is (arguably) better than the original, there's a lot of value in the original art assets and the more rudimentary gameplay as a historical guidestone. For the same reason you wouldn't tear up the original Mona Lisa because we've got a high resolution digital copy, you don't just scrub copies of the original version of Pong from the internet because we have Wii Tennis.
Deciding on which benches are placed in the subway?
Its more like your shoe size
I buy shoes a lot more often than I check my horoscope.
Americans can all learn something from South Korea’s vibrant democracy?
The way all those ajusshimis stormed the capital and pushed past the military to usher the Parliament back in and end the coup was - IMHO - a sign of a vibrant democracy that Americans could learn a lot from.
But at some point, the library had to draw a line
It's not the library staff making these decisions. Its inevitably the city council or the governor
If not this will have zero affect for the state actors and the US will just buy through a trading proxy at a higher cost.
I'd define that as an effect, particularly given how the US has been scrambling to insource its tech industry over the last four years. TMSC just ramped up a competitive chip fab in Arizona, for instance.
Idiotic policy on both sides.
The argument boils down to each country claiming they need additional security measures aimed at a geopolitical rival. The ramp up to war never looks smart until one side wins.
I didn’t say being publicly intoxicated, I said publicly using drugs. As in they were shooting up while kids were being taken to storytime past them on the way to the library.
We have a solution for this as well.

Proven highly effective for reducing crime, mitigating the need for emergency response, curtailing disease spread, and channeling addicts to rehabilitation clinics
But because it comes off as permissive and benevolent, rather than punitive and prohibitionary it remains Haram in much of the US.
In America, your local public library does more to help homeless people than anything you have probably done yourself
It's a public service staffed with dozens of people. Of course a single person isn't going to do more in spare time than a team of people doing the work professionally.
But that doesn't excuse the rest of the state for tearing out local infrastructure as a means of tormenting the homeless.
"I did two good things so I have permission to do one bad thing" isn't sounds public policy.
If you banned amphetamines near the launch pad, nothing in aeronautics would ever get done. Ask anyone in Operation Paperclip.
From what I've seen under Eric Adams in New York, you never actually lay any of these people off. You just bring in a robot that bumbles around a subway terminal until it breaks down, while a squad of officers guard it with lethal force.
When I first got WC2, I discovered that my 1x CD couldn't read from the disc fast enough for me to play it. The game would run for about five or ten minutes, then crash. I made it about half way through first campaign - 5 to 10 minutes at a time - before I was able to afford a 4x CD and play it normally.
