They can’t fire Mitch McConnell, it would be unfair to all the living senators.

I think the same thing about that Coyote vs. Acme movie. I don’t think it was ever really shit-canned, they just delayed it a year or so and made up some bullshit to create a news story around it.

Coming soon: layoff devs, pay monthly fee for an AI suite and hire an AI “expert” to run it that collectively cost more than it would have to just keep paying the original dev. And gives worse results, but FASTER

If they could just get the base systems down and do a big push on bug fixing instead of adding flashy events and more ships it would make such a difference.

It’s got the kernel of something amazing in there, but it’s insanely buggy (and essentially unplayable when it’s busy, like the Free Fly events or right after a patch) and the pace of development is absolutely glacial. And you really can’t trust anything the devs assure you is happening/on the way. It’s unclear whether they’re just bullshitting everyone or they somehow genuinely believe their own hype about deadlines, even after consistently missing all of them for over a decade, by a lot.

That probably makes it sound worse than it is TBH. There’s a really cool game in there somewhere, but you have to be extremely patient with it.

My first computer was a VIC-20 lol

No you’re right! Fixed it.

There’s an episode of Doctor Who called The Doctor’s Daughter where the 10th Doctor, played by David Tennant, gets a daughter through some cloning machine shenanigans, played by Georgia Moffett. Georgia Moffett is the IRL daughter of Peter Davison, who played the 5th Doctor, meaning the Doctor’s daughter played the Doctor’s daughter. Moreover, Tennant and Moffet eventually got married and have a daughter, who is also an actor, Olive Tennant. So the Doctor’s daughter played the Doctor’s daughter and also has a daughter with the Doctor. Also the 5th Doctor is the 10th Doctor’s IRL father-in-law. I really hope Olive Tennant eventually plays the Doctor too, just to make it even more complicated.

Also Georgia Moffett’s mum is Sandra Dickinson who played Trillian in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and her other kid is Ty Tennant who was the young Aegon Targaryen in House of the Dragon, meaning Christmas dinner at their house has a better lineup that most comic-cons.

100%. You can look however you want, live as long as you want, and pretty much do anything from going on wild space adventures to just chilling in complete safety with every want/need taken care of.

There’s an Android app for it too.

Haha I actually used a similar one recently. I was talking about how much of a piece of shit Mitch McConnell is back when he was in hospital and someone called me out for being mean so I said “I hope he receives the same amount of respect and care that he showed to others throughout his life.”

I genuinely think he just doesn’t have that part of his brain. He has people that he temporarily stops fucking over and tries to charm-bomb while they’re useful to him (who he then throws under the bus again once he doesn’t need them anymore) but that seems to be about as close as he can get.

I think that’s the same reason why he’s never had a pet - if you take things like companionship and love out of the equation, a pet is just something that consumes resources without giving anything material back. I wouldn’t be surprised if he just sees them as pointless.

And when we do, all the conservatives will suddenly start their pearl-clutching bullshit about being ‘respectful’ once again.

I use syncthing.

If you wanted to long-game it, maybe you could emigrate to another country, work for a few years and get established/build up a credit score, then max out your credit and just go home?

As someone with citizenship in another country I have to admit I have daydreamed about this lol. Which probably means I’m in their model somewhere.

Yeah. Not be all “told-you-so” but I saw people on reddit talking about how Rockstar have screwed themselves by not doing physical disks and how pricing it so high is going to ruin them and I was thinking “Oh shut up, you’re all going to buy it.” I guarantee when it does eventually release all you’ll see on reddit for weeks is people talking about how awesome it is.
