Basegame CS’s traffic system is notably bad - if you wanted anything realistic you needed mods to change it. No clue how CS2’s plays, but I can’t imagine it’d be much better.

Seeing it live was a bit of a fever dream - the realization that the intro is going longer than normal + the shift in tone hit harder at 3am

I get why people downvoted this, but you’re not entirely incorrect. The two “sides” do exist, they just both happen to be on the same side and aren’t entirely opposites like “left” and “right” would imply.

Until we see a socioeconomic party platform that wants similar reforms to what is seen in the Nordics presently when it comes to policy, there’s no true “left” party in the US, IMO
