I'm in a weird space with fall activities/work/professional development course work/etc., so while I'm in between games, I also don't really want to get sucked into something too involved at the moment. I bought Call of Duty Modern Warfare (2022) on sale on steam awhile back, and realized last week that I had never installed/played it. So I figured that was a good game to bide some time with. Until I beat it this aft, which sort of sucks because the campaign is never very long on these modern CoD games.

Nevertheless, I'm now in the mood for FPS's, so I loaded up the OG CoD tonight. It's been 21 years since this game first came out, right about this time of year in fact. I was in my freshman year of college, and we were obsessed with it. A copy or two floated around the floor of our dorm, and I swear pretty much the entire floor was playing it that fall term. It actually hasn't aged that badly either. I last played through it about 5 years ago, and I imagine I'll go through it again over the next week or two.

Considering it's made by Microsoft, I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest it's compatible with Windows. Specifically Windows 10 and 11 I believe.

I'm on a replay of the single player campaign, and since this update the map is laggy as hell, and it's dropping frames like crazy.

Monetary policy makes the world go round, unfortunately.

I believe the ICC does have a dispute forum. But when you get to these IGOs, it's unbelievable how many there are. Could probably bring the complaint forward in multiple other forums too.

Ah I get you, sorry, I stand corrected. Surely such a claim would come forward through the WTO though, would it not? Would the ICC (the Chamber of Commerce) have enough teeth as the forum for what's surely a monumental case?

The ICC doesn't have jurisdiction over civil matters. The ICC only has jurisdiction over the most egregious of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, on a voluntary transnational basis (you have to be a signatory country, which I believe Argentina is).

Except that a PC with modern specs costs over $2k to build. Comparing PCs to Consoles is a fools errand, yes of course it's way better, because my gaming PC also cost five times as much to build.
