likely economic deregulation
Friendly reminder that putting businesses in charge of regulation doesn’t result in deregulation, it results in different regulation - removing what hurts them and adding what helps them (protectionism, barriers to entry to hurt small fry, etc).
Oh absolutely, it’s asinine. But it does avoid Pokemon Red as prior art.
IMO, electric motorbikes don’t make any sense - they’re not for cities, and they’re not for road-tripping because their range stinks. They’re an insistence on round-peg in a square hole; they’re a mechanical horse.
What we need is tiny one-person electric cars - the limit on range at highway speeds is aerodynamics, and motorbikes just aren’t as aerodynamic as putting the human inside a shell.
“In a 3D space” rules out Pokemon Red. Still bullshit, though.
Australians don’t tip, and Canadians are just Americans with a French accent.
Just like groceries don’t include tax in the advertised price.
Nah, that’s just in America, because Americans are dumb. Tipping doesn’t exist here BTW, because it’s idiotic and why would we do that.
(if Americans aren’t dumb, why did they vote for Trump twice?)
(I finally found an upside to the Trump presidency!)
I’m not saying that Elon Musk deserves his wealth, I’m saying the premise of the meme is nonsense.
These numbers are made up - specifically, they’re made up by the stock market. If you actually think Elon Musk has $273 billion dollars, I have some Saudi shares in Twitter to sell you.
If Bethesda started giving a shit, they’d just overhaul+bugfix their existing engine, rather than switching. Switching engine is entirely unnecessary, because it’s not the problem.
Gay: Penetrative sex between a man and a woman, apparently.
The point isn’t to argue I think, it’s to inform others that he’s not credible (and he’s free to ‘defend’ himself via argument of course).
But what would make an adult person do this outside of being paid?
MICE - Money, Ideology, Coercion, Ego. Money doesn’t necessarily mean being a paid shill, BTW - Alex Jones from InfoWars makes his money selling supplements, for instance.
I don’t think they’re being coerced or making money from their audience, so Ideology or Ego.
Their engine is not hamstringing them. Plenty of good games have shipped with Gamebryo/Creation engine, without massive numbers of bugs.
The problem is that Bethesda doesn’t give a shit about fixing anything - they ship bugs that have been in previous games, that users have outright identified and fixed for said previous games. They apply the exact same we-don’t-give-a-shit attitude to their engine.
Also every engine is “20 years old”, Source2 has some code from GoldSrc and Quake Engine, because if the code works perfectly then you don’t just rewrite it for no reason. You rewrite parts of the engine - the parts that are holding you back in some way. And Bethesda has been modifying and extending their engine.
But, ignoring all of that, suppose the engine really was the issue: it takes 5ish years to write an engine from scratch. Starfield was in development for 8 years. Skyrim released 13 years ago. Skyrim also released 2 years ago, and a couple of times in between those periods too. Bethesda could have rewritten their entire engine from scratch if they wanted to, in that time.
The problem is that Bethesda just doesn’t give a shit about quality, they chose their engine development choice by development choice. The problem is that Bethesda.
China has $5k EVs, it’s not a technical problem causing EVs to all be expensive.
