Blink twice if you're locked in a tech billionaire's basement right now

Thanks, I'll field this extremely easy question - By executive order before it was a bipartisan bill supported by every level of government:

In 2020, President Donald Trump proposed a ban of the app as he viewed it as a national security threat. In August, he signed an executive order instructing that ByteDance divest from the app, though the order was blocked by a court injunction in September and was reversed by the Biden administration in 2021.

To me, making sure that everyone agrees with a new policy before it becomes law, and sending it through the proper channels to be debated and then enacted, doesn't really seem like a dumb thing.

The dumb thing would be to propose a new law, enact it unilaterally, have it revoked because it was enacted unilaterally, then have everyone agree on it anyway when you pass it through the proper channels, then toss it in the trash yourself at literally the first opportunity.

Which part of Trump proposing, implementing and then yesterday delaying the ban was down to Democrat incompetence?

It's totally understandable why people do this, but my advice would be stick to small mods.

As soon as an add on is large enough to be a DLC, or even its own game, big companies are 100% coming after it. Especially if it is a popular game and it gets in all the gaming press like this.

I was under the impression it was meant to be Vice City. They're just not very friendly to modding in general.

Paywall, so I can't see the others, but the one on the thumbnail isn't that different to the N-Gage

Wasn't that Quake, not DOOM?

I've listened to them a lot, but had never seen any music videos apart from Smoko. Need to have a watching session now!

I'd never seen the video for this. It is spectacular.

Despite the article talking about crashes, that outfit from Threads really makes me want to play!

I like that the headline sounds like there was just a $1mil pile of loose cocaine somewhere that got blown away by the hurricane.

I was semi-joking, but I also didn't click the link.
