looks super cool. felt the same way about s21 but still couldn’t bring myself to finish the pass for it though :(

the dictionary definition of evil is “morally reprehensible”. you don’t need to overreact by going straight to a godwin

ruining a prototype product, talking shit about it, and then selling it is a lot worse than being “just an ass”

what they did to billet is goddamn evil

oh same, if i go half a mile down the road to the next housing development they have cable, fiber, dsl, the works at prices equivalent to or less than what i’m paying for the fixed beam wireless connection.

utterly insane

yeah, i thought about it for a while. ultimately it’s so rarely an issue that i decided not to pursue it, but it’s funny nonetheless

super healthy, very competitive

did i mention that i barely get 5G service at my home but if i walk 100ft down to the street i get service?

where i live my choices are fixed beam wireless internet that caps out at about 75mbps, at&t dsl that caps at 10mbps, satellite or i guess Starlink

i do think there is a (unlikely) scenario where tesla’s value begins to shrink which causes a significant liquidity problem for twitter since there is no way the site is generating meaningful revenue now, but i think that kind of speculation is pointless in the end since who knows what similarly rich doofus he could get to bail him out.

depends on your definition of “die”. it is not going to go offline, but it will certainly cease to be of any moderate utility to most people and will cease to have any meaningful cultural impact within a couple of years at this rate

lol

well the context was about the quality of the game and not how many units they sell, so :/

oh yeah the metacritic scores are good but i was referring to audience reception about characters, narrative, etc

fallout 3 in particular is a fun one because once people started beating it there was a general upswell of “what the fuck was that?” that was loud enough that we got a changed ending in DLC :)

the thing for me about starfield is that most of the game looks like a reskin of games i’ve already played (no man’s sky, elite dangerous) and the parts that don’t look like mainline bethesda fare but In Space, so my general vibe about starfield is pretty dismal

would be absolutely stoked for it to turn out well though. more games in space = good

“Bethesda has a strong track record though” i mean… do they?

their games sell a lot of units but i can’t remember any time since morrowind that they launched a game that received widespread praise for anything other than its technical merits, and i say this as someone who still dips back into heavily modded TES games a few times a year :/

30 going on 13

was she a good girl at the vet?!

sooo cute!!

congrats and good luck!!

“politicians never do anything good” is a myopic viewpoint that is completely understandable in the modern political climate, i think. which is unfortunate, because a political party that learned to harness that energy to actually become known for doing good could probably grow very quickly
