God I’ve tried three times to enjoy no man’s sky and I just can’t. It’s just endless grinding, no real reward for it, and no way to automate any of the tasks so you can move onto more fun things
As long as they offer DRM free games I’ll buy. No sense worrying now about something that may not come to pass. They’re still a massive underdog who have seen epic and ea fail at stores, and they know their edge is DRM free
As soon as they give up DRM free I’ll stop giving them money
well they’re attempting that with Brightline West, but I haven’t heard anything positive from them in a while. I agree though, the tracks are there, even if it’s not super duper fast I know that corridor, I can’t imagine every person driving that is super thrilled to be driving. I’m sure a good chunk of them would be willing to add an hour or two on to not have to drive, and let’s be real you don’t need a car in vegas.
That is so good to hear, especially with how hostile the admin is towards them. You can’t argue with increased ridership. I know in the PNW where I am the Cascades keeps adding trains, and they keep filling them to capacity. People are sick of driving, the proof is there. Even in rural midwest the Borealis from MSP to Chicago has been a wild success, proving that it’s not just coastal elites who are tired of driving everywhere.
Amtrak did a good job admitting that no, they can’t compete with the long-haul routes because both financially and time-wise they fail compared to flying. These shorter “cooridor” trips though are perfect for them, and I think we’ll keep seeing massive success there. Flying Portland<->Seattle is ridiculus, < 2 hours, and you have to go all the way out of town to the airport. The train is 4 hours, but it’s comfier, cheaper, more friendly towards the environment, and you can catch it right downtown. Same with Minneapolis to Chicago. People are realizing it’s worth maybe an extra hour to not deal with flying.
I legit laughed out loud at that. That is hilarious. Of course it’ll bite them in the ass, but in the short term it’s literally more important that AI look like it’s cutting job than actually cutting jobs
It’s not that. As far as the stock market is concerned Microsoft has succeeded and plateaued. There is no where else for them to grow in the first world.
So they are not giving up on consoles. No, this marketing campaign wasn’t for us, not by a long shot. They’re going to Africa, to South America, Asia, they’re trying to lower the bar for entry so they are the first ones in everyone’s minds over there.
Don’t have an Xbox? Here’s a handheld. Can’t afford that? Game streaming from the cloud. This is infinite growth capitalism and there simply aren’t enough people to sustain that, so they need more people.
Honestly a good article, and a perfect example of performative security. Security was ever present, hassled people, wore tactical vests and made a big show - but still did nothing of actual value
Twitch backpedaled and said they’ll add moar security, but won’t do anything to actually protect creators like grant them their own security guard.
To me, it’s obvious. Guy didn’t have a knife, didn’t threatened her, it’s some lonely creepy dude who doesn’t respect her and very sick in the head. They don’t need another row of metal detectors, they needed someone managing the line and access to her so he couldn’t just walk up to her, and if he did still make it that close then an immediate boot out of the premises with charges for assault filed with a permanent from all future events.
Instead they just… Let him walk around and be chill, and sounds like he was only banned well after the huge backlash.
