And I get that the business maybe “has” to be run that way, because of the way it exists in the economic system it exists in, but I’m definitely taking issue with the language he’s employed here. He’s not a prisoner being forced to run things this way.

Seriously. Everyone gets the luxury of not having to run a profitable growing business. You didn’t “have” to run that business at all.

I mean, I knew what I was talking into, but still. Interesting story, wish it had a better ending.

Parents, talk to your kids about saxophones. That, and cheating on video games, are the most important subjects to cover.

Laughs in Rockefeller and standard oil

Steam is a private company and being run by a decent human. Didn’t have to be both.

Or, like, me sharing single player games with my buddies. But you do you.

It definitely smells like that, except maybe just anti-“woke” or anti-minorities instead of just anti-women?

You know that old E=mc² equation? That’s actually only the simplified “rest” half of it. The full equation that relativity gives us says E²=m²c⁴+p²c². Meaning if it has energy, it definitely has mass (m), momentum (p), or both.

For a massless particle like a photon, that means E=pc, and its momentum is proportional to its energy and therefore frequency/wavelength.

It’s about taking money from people who like spaceships.

Okay I did some math. If the gun shot a single photon with all the energy of a .50BMG from an M2 heavy machine gun, it would have about 1.2e-4 Ns of momentum. For reference, the bullet it’s compared to would have 38.3 Ns. So the photon has about 32000 times less momentum than a bullet. Do with that what you will.

I’m not sure I understand what’s happening here, but I’m looking forward to the five hour hbomberguy video explaining the whole thing in about 8 years.

I haven’t played it, I’ve only experienced it through essays. I think it’s because it took a look at war and such from a pretty different perspective than other shooters had before, and examined the messier psychological aspects of it in a way that incorporated traditional shooter gameplay as hadn’t been done before?

I think it kinda falls into the same sort of category as citizen Kane. Important for what it did when it did it, but not really good by modern standards.
