That moment when you look around for the most competent person, and come the sad conclusion that it’s you

Meanwhile, basically every Dutch students “dates” by bike, and most of London dates via the Underground.

What even IS that?

“being mean to scabs is, itself, doing work.”

Volunteer work is also work, and I’ll gladly do this for free.

Correct. I guess that could be clearer, now that I reread my post. Edited.

I mean, they don’t “hate your guts”, but the people making the choices don’t give a shit about your feelings as long as you’ve bought the game. The devs, who aren’t making those choices, probably want to make the best game, but they likely prioritise “having food” over “Making the best game ever”.

Ehhhhhh.

Starlink has a major problem in durability as a result of the low orbit (required for low latency), meaning it’s extremely expensive in upkeep.

The satellites inability to talk to eachother, combined with the narrow transmission angle means the system scales very poorly and has numerous bottlenecks (both the satellite and the uplink station). Yes, Starlink is “working on it”, but the laser-link solution is very complex in terms of engineering.

Starlink has some amazing usecases, but those usecases can’t possible cover the cost. It runs almost entirely on subsidies and venture capital.

Dont forget that other favorite “No you can’t have more hardware, these were fine in 2006 and they’re fine now! Just delete some old stuff like you IT people always do”

That is SUCH an amazing way to put it. No grinding, no waiting for timers to run out, no traveling back and forth to savepoint, no insanely hard challenges or unlocks. Just experiencing it, and (for the most part) even failing forward.

It’s a pretty entertaining crafting-shooter, but it’s not an AMAZING one.

Some do, but they make it their main draw. The reason Kerbal Space Program is fun, is fun because you can fuck up and die in a million different ways, and not doing so is chalenging and succes is rewarding while failure is hilarious(ly frustrating).

Not fucking up and dying in Starfield means pressing the Use Healthpack frequently enough.

“Better than Hitler” is really, REALLY not a great flex

Because that one takes effort

Also, in quite a few comic timelines, the hammer literally makes Thor.

Error-correction for dropped packets is also pretty shit.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes flashdrives hurtling down the highway.

Well, China, if you want a few chip-makers, i know a few slightly-used ones that used to belong to an old lady and have only ever been used for shopping trips.

former fatty here with a little addition: Also just eat less outside of your meals. Go diet in the supermarket by buying less, instead of dieting by not eating what have at home. You spend 20 minutes in the supermarket and multiple hours at home. It’s MUCH easier to be strong for 20 minutes than for 12 hours.
