I think it has more to do with maintaining a manufacturing base for defense than it is about jobs or the economy.
I’m just this guy, you know?

I think the biggest thing in gaming in the next few years will be Godot giving indie devs the ability to cheaply create games without needing to license an engine.
I’ve worked for a couple startups and you’re absolutely right. If you make a profit you pay taxes on that money, so startups like to spend most of the money they bring in. They also want to show revenue growth, since that’s what investors like to see. You grow revenue by getting more paying customers. And you do that by doing what your customers want.
When you go public, your goal is to increase shareholder value. So you do this by reducing costs and finding ways to wring customers out of revenue. You find ways to nickle and dime customers out of revenue so much you develop an entire branch of law devoted to you suing your customers
So what? It figured out The Answer, big whoop.
Get back to me when it figures out The Question.
Yeah, if I saw that movie I definitely wouldn’t have wanted to sign up to go kill bugs after I saw it.
Maybe it should be rebooted as a gritty, Vietnam-esque series.
I mean, if he didn’t want us killing bugs he shouldn’t have made it look so cool.
Luckily, our fascists aren’t cool at all.
This is why the humanities are important
We’re dealing with people who read at a fifth grade level at best. They barely understand the text, let a lone the subtext.
There is, but since color printers are the ones that were used in counterfeiting most black and white printers don’t do that sort of thing. Plus I don’t know how you’d encode that much information in black and white without making it visible on the paper.
Only color laser printers put those yellow dots on paper. The black and white ones don’t because they can’t: They don’t have yellow toner.
So get a black and white printer and you’ll be fine.
I don’t know about the others, but Roblox and Minecraft have environments that are designed for infinite replayability. It’s like being amazed that kids are still playing with Lincoln Logs or Legos.
Exactly! Ads are designed to force you to engage with them. Even noticing the ad at all is engaging with it, and they’ve got teams of psychologists figuring out how to make that second of engagement influence you.
People who dismiss the influence of advertisements seem to forget that companies wouldn’t spend a combined $615 billion globally every year on something that people can just “choose” not to engage with.
I probably wouldn’t play as much Civ VI if it weren’t for the expansions or monthly challenges. Does that mean I’m playing an eight year-old game?
Three day special bridge rebuilding operation
To be fair, adding skins is a lot easier than fixing performance issues, and probably involves different, non-overlapping teams
Just call it “paid updates.”
Anyway, I’m really looking forward to the optional co-op mode. It made Raft a whole lot more fun, and adding it to Subnautica would be great.
I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. Calibre is great for managing it on a personal machine, but I want something that I can use on the web and then, with a click, send a book to a Kindle or whatever.
“What excuse could we use for this cost-cutting measure?”
“Uh, we could just say that people don’t need it anymore.”
“Johnson, get that man a promotion!”
A Space Force meme? I thought I was the only person who watched that show
Nation-states were a stupid idea to begin with
