Thanks again for sharing this. I'll try to read more about this.
Of course I know how close it is, I was there. But the drills weren't casual drills obviously, they were in response to National Day celebration. It actually made us nervous about our trip.
A side note: I'm happy to learn more and understand different perspectives, however what's with ad hominem attacks of vibes, propaganda and all? You can share your thoughts without making it sound like a keyboard war.
Why are you again explaining Asian politics using American history to a non American? Who's even talking about America here?
I'm aware about the civil war, and I'm aware that since then Taiwan has been able to govern itself differently. In my visit I could clearly see it myself.
None of this makes it a part of PRC. American civil war is different in the sense that the Southern dream ended and they couldn't organise themselves elsewhere.
China literally threatened Taiwan just before my visit with their vessels. Are you sure they are peaceful with protests?
If status quo means they are independent which they very much appear to me, then isn't that overwhelming majority support for letting it be the way it is, i.e. not ruled by PRC? If it is ruled by it, then why did PRC bring their vessels to threaten its own people just a month ago?
Lol the graph clearly shows lack in interest in unification, even "unification as soon as possible" dropped. Isn't that enough sign that Taiwanese don't want unification as of now?
Thanks for sharing this. I've been there for 2 weeks and have spoken to people and they consider themselves as independent. There's a lot of flags regarding independence around Taipei 101. Maybe they're are all delusional, maybe they were lying to me? Whatever it is, I tend to support the small guy who is being bullied by the big one.
Why do you assume I'm from the west? I've actually been to Taiwan and it's amazing. If you visit Taipei 101 you'll regularly see people with flags for independence. If it truly was China, they'll be jailed by now, but that doesn't happen.
I think the issue was precisely that. They didn't plan for the surge of users coming in on day one and whatever cloud hybrid system they have for this game got overwhelmed. We'll get to know about the game's actual quality a week from now I guess.
It shows how devs often look at better hardware and prioritise heavier features over image quality and performance. Current gen of games could easily do 4k60 (most last gen games run like that) if they didn't try to get RT into the mix, but devs don't like that as RT gives them more time and resources that originally would've been spent on placing lights or baking scenes.
My point isn't that, but how unanimous BG3 was. If you look at other years, there were still some juries that prefer one over the other, but not with BG3.
I actually love getting On this day emails from OneDrive. It brings up old pics that I wouldn't have cared to look at.
