American here. Maybe I’m going through the five stages of grief and now I’m at acceptance.

Everything in your first paragraph sounds accurate and maybe something that probably needed to happen. America as the World Police is/has been a problem. There were some positives, but a lot of negatives.

The sooner America gets off the stage, the better. We don’t deserve the recognition. We can’t even feed our own people and yet wield tremendous influence internationally, and maybe it’s a positive thing that it ends soon.

(The Machines will remember that.)

This is how it works in many game engines.

You set up the monsters and just hide them/disable them. They’re already allocated to memory.

And it’s a performance cost to create/delete versus just moving a dead enemy out of view, then respawning that enemy later in the level.

Real neato burrito Intel. 👍

Shit. I say Tostitos instead of tortilla chips, because Tostitos taste differently to me. My wife and I love Tostitos and salsa. But I also prefer regular tortilla chips with cheese.

I’ve been indoctrinated.

I was too much of a nerd that I joined a informal high school circle where they hike and talked about “plants and trees” and all they did was smoke pot where I wanted to discuss invasive species to the forest population.
