It needs to be viable first, which obviously won’t happen when the management keeps stumbling into PR nightmares weekly.

Then multiplayer should be its own app. Making a whole single-player game unplayable just so you can push anticheat cruft into everything.

Fuck anti-cheat, the bane of gamers everywhere.

Musk has moved on from trying to create an ‘internet bank’. Dude now wants to make something like LINE or WeChat, which is absolutely hilarious.

It’s not that easy to break an addiction, but I have faith that Musk can fuck this website up juuuuust enough to chase away a higher percentage.

They’ll just call every one of those inactive accounts ‘bots’ and be done with it

Same, I just can’t bring myself to care about a movie that’s about toys I have zero nostalgia for.

FOR THE IMPERIUM!

This sucked.

…I’ve somehow lived this long without realizing that HP printers apparently need subscriptions to run now.

Cool gimmick, but I’m gonna wait till all the kinks are worked out (or at least, all the major ones). Right now, I just don’t care enough to buy an unreliable phone with a hinge.

NES -> SNES.

Pretty sure EU regulations allow for batteries that are internal, but reasonably user-replaceable. The Switch’s battery is one of those.

ARM chips have seen massive gains too. If they use a sufficiently powerful chip, then I’m sure they could easily match the performance of a PS4.

The reason I’m not giving examples is because I’m simply here to say that your example was garbage.

Dude, you’re the one trying to paint Einstein as some sort of authority on the subject. He’s the same guy who urged the US to begin work on the Nuclear Bomb, which we both know the results of.

He was a smart man and a great scientist, but a great judge of moral character he was not.

I’m not ‘shitting on Einstein’, I’m simply saying he’s not some sort of political or economic expert. If he were, he’d be famous for those as well as for being a pre-eminent physicist.

Giving weight to someone’s opinion on one topic just because they’re an expert on a different topic is highly inadvisable.

Problem is that climate change is political. Worse, it’s geopolitical. It’ll take the will of the people to just tell governments to stop plodding along doing the bare minimum and take some real action for once.

What’s happening right now is terrible, but it’s also a chance to wake up the masses in time. I just hope the impetus isn’t lost to apathy.

I know 1.5 is dangerous; after all, we’re already seeing a slew of weather disasters all around the world. This is why now is the time we should scream off the rooftops that it’s not too late, that we can still fix this, because people are starting to wake up just a little more.

Now is the worst time to give into apathy, and to tell people who’re just starting to wake up that we can’t do anything.

Yeah, I don’t see what he’s getting at. There has absolutely been alarmist rhetoric surrounding climate change, and I see it all the time. Hell, I’ve seen people who think we’re already too late, even if we were to stop releasing CO2 today itself.

Part of me wonders how much the other side has benefitted from the sense of apathy this could create. After all, there’s real value in making stupid people give up entirely, in some ‘we’re doomed’ scenario.
