I wouldn’t even say it’s half finished, it’s just a fundamentally flawed game design. I too am a huge Bethesda fan but their implementation of an open “worlds” space RPG is just awful and there’s nothing that can be done to fix it without making a whole new game.

wide brimmed bucket hat, for sun protection.

pitting working classes against each other is not going to accomplish anything.

and I will continue not working for them.

Epic is anti-consumer and also anti-Linux, they don’t make any effort to support other platforms, the app is shit.

Also to add context, Tencent (Chinese tech conglomerate) owns 35% of Epic and helped them pivot to GaaS and aggressively push into the game store market.

Forza 3 was peak racing in my world. Forza 4 killed my interest in the genre.

and that’s reason #2 why i won’t get my dna tested.

but, why? is there some problem with the way we prove ownership of things now? as far as i know there isn’t an epidemic of car titles or house deeds getting hacked.

The whole point of cryptocurrency is decentralized ownership. That’s the big breakthrough in technology, it’s the whole point of it, I can try to ELI5 how that works if you want to, but for the moment I’m just going to assume you accept that cryptocurrency can demonstrate ownership.

…

How does ownership of those tokens transfers to ownership of something else? Well, that’s an excellent question, and the answer is that it happens in the same way that a piece of paper grants ownership of a house. There’s no innovative technology behind that piece of paper, but still everyone would agree that it grants ownership, and the reason is that the authority that enforces that chose to respect that piece of paper.

So NFTs are not inherently proof of ownership as the person above said. The general concept of owning crypto (which no one is questioning here) is a very different topic than using NFTs as proof of ownership of literally anything else.

exactly, and also saying our houses use more energy than crypto as a justification is just relative privation. yes our houses use energy because we need to survive. that doesn’t mean we should just give a blank energy check to whatever inefficient new technology comes along.

Yeah i have a soft spot for RT but i agree it’s not as good as i thought 20 years ago. I much prefer Moonrise Kingdom and Grand Budapest these days.

100% agreed with everything you’ve said here.

i haven’t played skyrim since the last DLC was released, whatever that was. maybe my memory is sufficiently wiped at this point

I watched that movie knowing absolutely nothing about it going in other than the two leads, and it blew my mind. from that point on i swore off watching trailers and try to know as little as possible about every movie i watch.

Yeah, who’s willing to murder a bunch of hapless astronauts?

pure ignorance.

Tell that to NASA.

what does this even mean? NASA knows, that’s why they didn’t let Boeing take astronauts back. NASA had concerns and acted accordingly, as a competent organization should.

meanwhile Lidl keeps laying people off because they went too crazy trying to expand in the US.

this is straight up nonsense. we get into orbit just fine, ISS has been operating for decades. Going beyond that is only a matter of political will, not a limit of tech or engineering. In fact they are working on Artemis to go back to the moon right now, and Mars after that.

and i actually disagree with the person above that we can go to mars right now. there are issues they need to figure out, but they are solvable problems. This isn’t like cold fusion that is 30 years away from being 30 years away.

also boeing isn’t representative of the aerospace industry or even just NASA. They are mismanaged and negligent. they can’t even build airplanes, never mind spacecraft.

difficult yes, of course. impossible, not even close. NASA’s goal is by the 2030s - even if you don’t believe that timeline which would be fair, the technology is well within our reach.
