This article makes me think of playing a match in the "Civilization" series: an aggressive AI opponent gains a substantial lead on you in terms of military units, and off they go. It also made me think of Tucker's recent comments casting doubt on the military's ability to actually do its job: like Microsoft, it's more concerned with woke virtue signaling and targeting all two "white supremacists" domestically than being effective.

Every time I fire up "Minecraft" on the Switch, or try to play "Flight Simulator", or even install a Winbloze Update, nothing works right in Microsoft's products. I hadn't played "Flight Simulator" in a couple of months, only to start up a flight and watch it run at ten frames per second. Later that night, my wife was trying to work, and Outlook kept asking her for a password, only to close the dialog before one could be typed in-- it was ridiculous.

But don't worry, because Mojang's Twatter feed has a rainbow flag in its profile, and Microsoft's home page says they "support black lives"! When I saw that the military was going to start using touch screens on its aircraft carriers in lieu of physical controls, and that it was going to stop bringing people in based on meritocracy, I assumed that its next actual war would be a hilarious debacle: we'll see.

In other news, as soon as I saw "Dotemu" and the pretentious opening animation, I immediately thought "oh great, another 'Streets of Woke 4'"-- but then the actual gameplay came up, and wow! It's as I wrote in this recent review: the best development in the game industry over the past decade has been the emergence of this "Hi-Bit" art style.

As far as I'm concerned, every single game should look like that, or like "Ion Fury"-- it won't but should become the new industry standard. They have so much more character, versus today's "photo-realistic" games which all look identical. Imagine brand new "Pro Evo" or "Gran Turismo"-style games in a "Hi-Bit" style: it'd be incredible! An interesting side effect is that we wouldn't need hardware beyond the Nintendo Switch, which is already a perfect "Hi-Bit" device: I feel absolutely silly playing a game such as these on my power-sucking PC or PlayStation 5.
