This is so stupid and pointless…

“Thing not made to solve spesific task fails against thing made for it…”

This is like saying that a really old hand pushed lawn mower is better then a SUV at cutting grass…

I use a notepad in many meeting at work to not be a complete pain in the ass.

If I write it down it’s not lost, and if it’s actually a good point I can bring it up at a good time or circle back to it.

If I own all the streets we don’t need to bother with that tedious trading of properties.

This is also due to the size of traffic these days.

Originaly (if we say, take early html as a starting point) it was mostly text, then later a few images.

These days a simple webpage needs large amounts of code and data just to load. So packets having to get to you in a roundabout way doesn’t just make the page take a little longer to load, it will most likely break the page.

But the infrastructure and ways of communication is really hard to take down and except for the few nations that have complete control over their own network, it is nearly impossible to break down communication completely. You would just need to rely on simpler data structures.

As others have stated fewer isp’s and core infrastructure providers do make the global network a bit more vulnerable today. And sites and services that lots of people consider “the internet” can be (at least for a while) taken down/offline.

I think the main reason is that StarCraft sprites were based on 3d models so either they can be made higher definition by working from the original assets or they simply upscale better.

Wc1 and 2 mainly uses hand drawn pixel art sprites, and it looks like they have gone with the “crude upscale + retouch” approach. Makes them look like the super scale filters lots of people used on emulators back in the day.

Honestly I think original art and a solid crt filter is the way to go with old Pixel classics. But i know this is a divisive position.

I mean. This is probably just to cover their own asses. Since they are more likely to be held accountable or something that can be downloaded through their platform then a random mod of the internet.

Important to look as good as possible on the end of the year report…
