Even having an opinionated choice would be better than what we currently have.

Yeah, the could release the best game ever made and I’d still avoid it.

Linus is surrounded by people who can call him on his bullshit. Luke is very aware of the shit Linus steps in and lets him know. Linus just kinda sucks at publicly admitting it, at least not without getting his own jab in. Hence taking over the “Trust Me Bro” joke.

Linus takes all criticism on LMG as a personal attack regardless of his involvement. Hopefully, once Tarren steps in, he’ll be able to wrangle Linus and just let LMG handle the public relations side.

It’s because Linus still has startup brain. He was squeezing blood from the stone for the first few years and his success then makes him believe that he needs to maintain that same mentality now.

Fortunately, he’s also realized that he doesn’t like running a large company and he’s hired a CEO. Unfortunately, said CEO is still stuck in his previous role and won’t actually be starting full-time for another few months. So now the company gets to sit in an awkward limbo of Linus checking out but Tarren not being ready to take over.

Once he is able to be a real CEO of LMG, I’m willing to bet things will start to dramatically change. Tarren has been running businesses as businesses for a while now and thus should know how to shape the company. He’ll be able to adjust the goals and fix the spends to align with those goals. Since the company is privately owned, as long as Linus doesn’t step on the process, it should go pretty well.

Must have been the space wind

The issue that killed solar roadways (the covered kind, not the stupid ass embedded kind) is that people would inevitably crash into the support beams, leading to collapses. That means the structure would have to be completely over engineered, increasing costs. Plus, the dynamic pressure waves from the passing trucks and cars underneath plus the fact you need to build it tall in order to allow trucks to pass means it needs to be even stronger. Solar over a concrete river is not going to experience these problems and can be minimally constructed as a failure just leads to them falling in the river, not actually harming anyone.

He was going to get it no matter what. There really was no path where Kotic got fucked

A lot of that is because there isn’t a post game. So, you finish the quest lines and that’s it. Witcher is the same way and it’s fine, but Witcher was also a longer game with more interesting side content.

No, a large portion of pirates are just “gimme free shit” types. They don’t care about preservation nor fighting various causes. They don’t care about the people who make the free shit nor seed the free shit. They care about nothing but themselves. So I’m actually not surprised to see that sort of me me me sentiment there. The people who did care are probably gone, all that’s left are the leeches.

They gave a fight. If Reddit had just been silent, I bet most of the subs would be open now. Instead, Reddit has fought for every inch and in turn created an enemy to rally against. I was initially bummed and left to support the blackout and figured I’d just reduce my Reddit usage. With how nasty Reddit has acted though, I’m avoiding them as aggressively as possible now.

Power Delete Suite should still work after they’ve taken the API down. It mimics you manually deleting the comments yourself.

Unfortunately, they’ll probably get reopened. But you’ll just have to let them move on without you. Either it’ll burn in a fire, or the new mods will carry it in a new direction. Either way, it’s no longer your project/baby.

I only return to see what’s up in ModCoord. It’s a healthy dose of “this is why I left”. At least until RIF is dead, then I probably won’t be going back anymore. Certainly not trying to navigate their garbage excuse of a mobile UI.

There’s a project underway to do just that @BotIt

That’s because neither actually got hit with a dip in playerbase due to the hate. The players were all happy. It was outsiders yelling at people to stop enjoying themselves. Eventually they moved on and the players just continued having fun.

They weren’t born large. Reddit was seeded with content by the developers before the users came. The secret to growing a community is to grow a community. It all has to start somewhere and frankly, fediverse is starting with a much stronger kick start than digg and Reddit ever had.

Salt Lake City is coming up in public transit. There’s a decent light rail and a pretty well spaced bus network. Frequency is a major issue though.

I would say people getting mad about a they instead of a he/she even after disclosure are being unreasonable. The word they is neutral ground in text conversation. I can see it being awkward to use in a direct conversation, but so often in threads, we’re talking to the public not the individual.

Having said that, I still haven’t seen anyone really get mad except in cases of direct misgendering. Yes some people will be unreasonable, but they are the exception.
