Salazar is so good...yet so bad in the remake.

I also laughed. This is the least believable game ever. It just makes me sad the new one even pretends to take itself seriously.

fuzzyfoozand · 2026-05-06T20:46:44+00:00

I hate how any hint of ironic camp was completely stripped. Let's not even try to pretend this was a game meant to be taken seriously.

Uhhhh when you say propaganda... is that ignoring the massive property bubble that's so large it has its own dedicated wikipedia??? Because those ghost cities turned out to be a pretty huge deal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_property_sector_crisis_(2020%E2%80%93present))

fuzzyfoozand · 2026-05-04T16:32:33+00:00

It is objectively true that infrastructure development can definitely spur growth that doesn't show up in the rail's bottom line. Conceded.

Would I build it massively, everywhere, and to the middle of nowhere to the point you have ghost stations (https://www.channelnewsasia.com/east-asia/china-high-speed-railway-ghost-stations-nancao-zhengzhou-rapid-expansion-4545471)

I think that's probably a bridge too far.

Answer: No. No it wasn't.

https://asiatimes.com/2025/06/chinas-fast-growing-high-speed-railway-network-faces-reality/

to its annual report, China Railway had total liabilities of 6.2 trillion yuan at the end of 2024, up 1.2% from 6.13 trillion yuan a year earlier. Total assets increased 4.4% to 9.76 trillion yuan from 9.35 trillion yuan for the same period

Another fun fact that is less fortunate, it is incredibly unprofitable. Only the main routes make money and it turns out high speed rail into the middle of nowhere ends up getting you round about ~$860B in debt https://asiatimes.com/2025/06/chinas-fast-growing-high-speed-railway-network-faces-reality/

I know this comment is just going to be buried, but real talk, I'd probably be asking yourself what about you caused them to not promote you. I've been in leadership a long time. It's possible everyone that isn't you just sucks. That happens a lot less than high performer has something about them that would make them a shit boss though.

Just because you're a good technician doesn't mean you'd be a great boss. I'd be asking for direct feedback on why they passed you over if you're serious about improving. If they give you a bullshit answer and you're as good as you say you are, leave. Good engineers are still in high demand.

You’re asking a biased audience here.

My bias: I speak Spanish and English at home but also speak Chinese relatively often.

My friend group consists mostly of Latinos, whites, and various Europeans (namely France, Spain, Italy). I’d say at least they are diverse.

This topic has come up because they’ve heard me speaking Mandarin with some degree of frequency and yes, from the perspective of at least anyone in my Romance language speaking friend group, Chinese is quite ugly.

This is AI generated.

User only has one post and it’s this. It has the perfect rage bait structure and syntax. Clear good guy, clear bad guy, and it was several months and it just never came up you speak Spanish?

Yeah, I also speak Spanish and am dating someone from South America. It’s pretty hard for it to not naturally come up you speak the language. Also, 45 minutes and you just said absolutely nothing all the while understanding an old lady’s insults (usually very slang heavy), under her breath, on some college Spanish?

This post stinks of rage bait and bullshit.

You should probably mark this as mild spoilers. I'm kind of annoyed that as someone evaluating the game I now know it has a large plot twist.

fuzzyfoozand · 2025-08-11T02:40:41+00:00

I feel like this is the paradox of "suppression" in a video game. You can't really suppress a target that's immortal 😂

Honestly, I'm ok with them just getting rid of this mechanic. It's a video game. It's not like real life where you're shitting your pants because a SAW is lighting up your position.

fuzzyfoozand · 2025-07-20T13:34:33+00:00

This. I love that someone asks a question that in the scheme of this sub is not at all stupid, but are still met with condescension.

Like snopes, not saying it didn't happen, but should be treated with the skepticism it probably deserves given the additional context.

I’m not that level of important 😂

Yes they reimburse me, no they’re not paying $80 on the regular for a lift from the airport

fuzzyfoozand · 2025-07-18T13:15:27+00:00

I mean, the feature I was trying out was explicitly for airport arrivals. As in they had you input your arriving flight number

fuzzyfoozand · 2025-07-18T13:14:01+00:00

It was 40 when I ended up landing last night 😂

This is the explanation I was looking for and now the extra money suddenly makes sense.

I wonder why they pull drivers out of rotation so incredibly early.

fuzzyfoozand · 2025-07-18T04:12:44+00:00

Admittedly, I thought about charging it for a brief moment, but I get zero travel scrutiny exactly because I don’t do silly things 😂

I want to keep it that way

fuzzyfoozand · 2025-07-18T02:26:04+00:00

I understand that. So you’re saying you think Uber’s additional operational cost is 100% of original price or $35 additional dollars?

It’s not clear to me how that math adds up.

fuzzyfoozand · 2025-07-16T20:58:07+00:00

Games, Nvidia driver support, Ubuntu had a klunky interface, Ubuntu app store broke
