To add to this comment. You should look out for the ThinkPad T series (no p or s after the number) if you want ease of repairs and upgrade.

Hit me right in the nostalgia with this one. Used to played the heck out of it on SEA and my local country server. The game is super grindy for my taste now but I still feel nostalgic about the community and people there.

Yes!

depends on the availability of the board, which historically has not been that great, the street price is gonna be upward twice to three times more than listed price.

that’s a micron of the boot the global south are feeling daily. They have not even outright taking your stuff while forcing you to pay for the gun they pointed at your face yet

I remember people talking about a HSR system linking the three biggest cities in Texas way back in 2010s. They couldn’t even raise enough support to finish the research for the placement of the train stops. Not sure this will even get pass that.

One of the most used feature of Facebook and Instagram is their messenger. It’s much easier for people to use the same account they use for social media to communicate with each other. A direct messaging feature within fediverse would augment the current ecosystem and make more people transition away from big corporations

I haven’t played that game before. Thank you for the recommendation.

Bunch of people having fun in a modern city is propaganda? damn, I can’t believe how much the USA have tried to lie to me. Thank you so much comrade for opening my eyes to those capitalist lies /s

why? the game does not have any theory or understanding about communism. It only use communism aesthetic to tell a completely liberal story.

While the game is pretty fun and the banality is the point, I feel like it doesn’t have a lot of things to say about communism itself. You can swap it out for any failing country and it would just work the same.
