Haha. Thanks for sharing this reference! I had no idea about a similar comment [1] in our previous Show HN post :) For others like me, this is ChatGPT's explanation:
C&C Tiberian Sun, short for Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, is a real-time strategy (RTS) video game developed by Westwood Studios and released by Electronic Arts in 1999. It is the sequel to the highly popular game Command & Conquer (1995) and is part of the Command & Conquer series."
In the real-time strategy game Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, the phrase "Welcome back, Commander" is a memorable reference that occurs at the start of each mission when the player resumes playing the game after a break or reloading a saved game.
The phrase is spoken by the EVA (Electronic Video Agent) computerized voice, which serves as the player's AI assistant throughout the game. The EVA voice welcomes the player with the line "Welcome back, Commander" to indicate that the player has returned to the game and is ready to continue commanding their forces.
