There like 56 versions of MJ and some have wildly different character traits, visual features, and relationships with Peter, to claim that MJ is “supposed to be” anything just betrays ignorance of the franchise

Asinine to present things like this, pretending all black tea is the same or all green tea. I have green tea around 10mg and I have green tea around 130mg
The only thing happening in the industry is the same thing happening in every industry and most of the first world:
The wealthy owners and executive leader roles have learned that COVID, COVID supply lines, interest rates, ‘consumer sentiment’, and inflation, are all very easy scapegoats that both the public and investors will easily buy as reasons for lowering product quality and availability, while also firing employees, squeezing the non-fired ones to death, and raising prices. This has lead to almost 2 straight years of corporations showing record profits (even adjusting for the inflation that they are largely responsible for in the first place).
This downward spiral will continue until some force with nearly as much power pushes back.
This is typically and ideally a representative government in the form of regulation or taxation. But the US government has suffered decades of regulatory capture and congressional gridlock.
So the only other potential option is a large amount of highly populated unions. Which have to fight against nearly 100 years of media and political demonization and nearly 150 years of ‘american independent attitude’.
The perfect modern system has all 3 parties; unions, government, and corporations, equally strong and antagonistic. Just as the perfect modern government would have the executive, legislative, and judicial branches equally strong and antagonistic. Neither could be much farther from the case here.
Stronger bigger unions. Weaker smaller corporations. And a government that actually functions. All are necessary to fix our current shit show.
VRchat is similar to second life in terms of what it provides to the player, and is very popular with VR users. Second life is still around but it looks like puke and has an impenetrable culture.
Yeah VR is a good thing to point at as a message for “this is where we are heading and it will make the problem worse” but the current problems stem from the broad internet (the big apps) taking away real socialization time without giving much in return, and also cultural identity problems that are vast and complex.
Luckily mods have already addressed the menu problems for PC. StarUI and Undelayed Menus.
Shouldn’t even remotely be necessary for a studio this size. But whatever.
The only other actual negative I feel for the game at this point (20ish hours) is the skill points/system feeling like 5% good choices and 95% pointless garbage.
Extreme gridlock and, sadly, bigger fish to fry with a complete Inability to pass core-function bills like budgets due to that gridlock. Why gridlock? Ask McConnell and McCarthy
2221, and 2310, both look like they had some info redacted. Both have a transparency gradient at the bottom that others don’t.
This is not true, the used market was still great pre-covid. COVID obliterated new vehicle pricing and availability, and naturally the used market followed
Have fun! it really does fix such a ridiculous amount of annoyances. I agree that making private co-op and running the server itself on another computer are the two things i want most from it, both of those may be possible with little work but AKI has to be very careful to avoid any ire from BSG
Outer Wilds would 100% be on my list but i played it close to release, so more than 365 days lol
Its actually really easy to set up.
-install the bsg launcher, update, install the base game
use this, following its instructions >

IF there is a version mismatch with live, which happens, this is a really easy patcher that downgrades https://hub.sp-tarkov.com/files/file/204-aki-patcher/
thats it, really easy. As for the mods and changes ive listed, here
KMC server value tool. read instructions, you have to run it first to make it work right. This is the main tool for tweaking the games settings, and there are a lot of options. Be sure to make your own profile and save and load it, its a bit of a weird set up. Here are my current settings.

If a tab isnt shown then i probably havent changed anything in it.

Amands graphics, unfucks the game visually. defog, makes it less grey. https://hub.sp-tarkov.com/files/file/813-amands-s-graphics/
More checkmarks. gives you way more on the fly info about what items you need, what they barter for, etc. https://hub.sp-tarkov.com/files/file/1159-morecheckmarks/
SAIN, AI rework. Has two dependencies, be sure to get them. This is my prefered AI option, there are others but this one makes the most sense with the least problems imo. https://hub.sp-tarkov.com/files/file/1062-sain-2-0-solarint-s-ai-modifications-full-ai-combat-system-replacement/
Amands hitmarkers. nice to have, not necessary at all, but i like it for the immediate feedback. https://hub.sp-tarkov.com/files/file/798-amands-s-hitmarker/
Visceral dismemberment. Really over the top and gross but fun. https://hub.sp-tarkov.com/files/file/1092-visceral-dismemberment/
ammo stats in description. shows you what the actual fuck ammo is without sitting on eft monster or wiki. color coded too. https://hub.sp-tarkov.com/files/file/284-ammo-stats-in-description/
gunsmith, not technically up to date with SPT but it works anyway. https://hub.sp-tarkov.com/files/file/1022-gunsmith/?highlight=gunsmith
I freed myself from these chains years ago now, It was definitely worth it. understandable if you are locked in for work though.
This is a big one for me, I currently have NVIDIA gpus on all my machines, (i am going to avoid them in the future, the corporate price gouging is unacceptable) but at the moment that makes switching to linux for my gaming pc quite a bit more obnoxious.
Long overdue, another great Biden admin change that will probably fly under the radar for most. I have quite a few friends in the military and this system was BEYOND fucked.
They are not perfect and foolproof but they are very effective when you consider how easy they are to implement
The laws are the problem here, the FTC’s legal case and legal argument was dogshit. The moral one isnt, but that solution lies with congress and they are gridlocked on actual anti competitive laws by corpo-suckers that are only 75% republican
It is physically impossible for gestures to be faster than a single button press. If you prefer them that’s 100% cool but c’mon that shit is not faster
The WAN show is a great option for a one stop shop for broad tech stuff. It is often very long but they add very clear chapters to the youtube video that make it easy to jump to the stuff that interests you. Luke is a software developer/manager so he is fairy knowledgeable in that realm, and Linus is a very transparent CEO of a tech media company, so the coverage is actually very good between the two of them. Just dont expect in depth conversations about RHEL forks and node.js code efficiency and stuff, its very much meant to be consumed by regular tech enthusiasts and not hyper deep code monkeys.
Good game. Weak in the item and gameplay, strong in the story and character choice impact. Fun environments too. Not too long, not much exploration.
