To be fair, no system is perfect. Allowing people to both disconnect and be better at least acknowledges that the society needs both an eye inside and an eye from outside in order to improve

True I think there was a big gap somewhere in the years between when o.g. 2.5d retro shooters like Doom, Blood, and Hexen players got used to moving with mouse look, and the people who played shooters like Quake, UT and counterstrike back in 2000-2005 where we aimed with the mouse and strafe run with the left and right keyboard buttons.

A few other hidden gems back in the day that I never got around to playing until years later after their prime time was probably Descent, System Shock and also AvP.

Those were the days alright

No Quake was a real level up from Doom, at least graphics wise.

Though I actually preferred the sprite graphics for smaller monsters, what I reckon would have been cool is if we could have a retro reboot of Doom 2 but with Quake style 3d monsters for mini bosses, and a whole Hexen remix/mashup but with UT style grenades and low gravity jumps and stuff

Blame Israel. USA is hardly doing much

I don't think either of them cares much about the middle east or Israel much. If anything they both look at Benjamin the same way Xi looks at the DPRK guy.

Just old upstarts with bones to pick over

Hey man, just look at China, the much darker truth is that in many parts of the world, senile old men run things, your freedom, dreams and purpose is largely meaningless to them unless they're very close to you or you've shown that you also care about their freedom and the well-being of their future offspring.

For a lot of older people, a certain cynicism comes with wisdom, and you're just like everyone else, a cog in the wheels of a big system. For America and China, where in many parts it's essentially still a mafia state, this is even more pronounced for people that come into positions of power at an older age as they're even more experienced at the real life equivalent to GTA politics.

The only real upside is that it's not as bad as the middle east still but hey that's a low bar for most that consider war and civil society to be two separate states of existence

Yeah the problem is that wide reaching policy changes is hard to sell on a country wide scale
