By putting "good" in quotation marks, you already invalidated your own point. Lots of people enjoying it makes it successful, which is quite different from good. Its mediocre and easily digestible slop and, lets be honest here, so are most extremely succesful entertainment francises.

Mostly its agressively average with a l;ot of design choices that actively annoy the player. Not enough to call it bad, but enough to taint every step of the experience.

Realistically, that means you can now stop buying new games.

This'll just make Dems cave faster. Now they're inconvenienced after all.

Are you sure? Wouldn't you need help getting out of your chair first?

Nazi's too. Basically anything vile.

Being political always meant some version of the latter, even if you didn't realise it. Slavery was political. Jim Crow was political. The countless ways poor people have been getting fucked over is political. Just because it was done more politely and less stupid didn't make it much better.

There's so many people that, through inaction or weak action, that can be said about.

Yup because without it, programs like Clawdbot offer very little.

Or don't. Clawdbot (and stuff like that) has som e major security issues which are fundemental to its design (look up prompt injection)

How much of that is hindsight though? They succeeded in a lot of their goals, for a while at least so we thiink of them as competent but were they really... Or, by the same metric, are the current crop of US nazi's really incompetent. So far they're winning.

Regardless of if thats true or not, what does that have to do with anything?

The SC decision just means he can't be held criminaly liable for official acts. Its still upto congres to reign him in which they're just not doing.

Yeah, that latter one is just a very weak arguement and trying to find excuses after the fact. Much like the US randomly deciding certain civilians are "Enemy combatants" so they can bomb them.

Time to tear down all those fancy highways and make cities walkable ;)

I understand the sentiment but no. Bombing civilian targets, by accident or intentionally, is very bad and those responsible should be held accountable. Is it more understandable in some cases? Absolutely but that ultimately doersn't change anything.

For average consumers, the environment, the ease of creating misinformation and basically every other metric. That doesn't matter so long as its good for the economy however.

"There's always an XKCD" rings true yet again.

IRQ conflict, most likely. If the soundcard wasn't workingh, it was always an IRQ conflict. Moving around tiny jumpers ftw!

Just by some metrics. What was probably the fun bit is that we were relatively young and still had the time to endlessly fiddle to get our crappy Soundblaster working. Yes, I loved optimising my config.sys to optimise memory and have a different boot sequence for each game, but nowadays its very nice when you can just turn em on and they work.

Its good that Theroux did this, so more people (hopefully) start to see this. These aren't revelations though, it was known for years. See stuff from Contrapoints from 7 or 8 years ago, for instance.

Prison woirks for me. I'm not much for capital punishment. But yes, absolutely!

They have their uses but there's also ways around that. Don't over produce, don't over buy, do a better job of distributing it to those who need food. And ultimately, sometimes, you might still want to use plastic for some things. Plastic is the unthinking default for everything currently, however.

And with Adam Baldwin, which is possibly even worse.

Imgur is as infested with outrage clickbait and bots as Twitter. They're just more left leaning here.

Poe's law. Also, far too many (especially right leaning) people are actually that stupid.
