In 50 years I'll be nearly 80 and I'll be lucky to remember my own name. No way in hell should I be in charge of anything at that age, I wouldn't trust myself driving to the grocery store, let alone trying to govern a world power.

If I'm riddled with dementia at the time I may not remember that this was my perspective, but it is. Let the ones with skin in the game make the decisions. If I'm going to be dead in 20 years I shouldn't be making decisions with 80 year tails. Neither should our existing politicians, and the reason why is readily apparent in modern day : they won't have to live long enough to see consequences. Therefore, they're perfectly fine taking fossil fuel bribes (as an example) and condemning the rest of us to a fiery death that they won't be around to witness. "Fuck you, got mine"

Plenty of room in the back

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.

Wonder if they've addressed the risk of the arctic melting.... This is about the best spot we can put those in, but that's not going to last forever given our current trajectory.

I remember playing Midnight Club 3 when I was a kid and learning about KidRobot from their in world billboards. It fits really well in a racing game.

Noita is so, so, so much more than it seems from the reviews and trailers. Trust me. If the core gameplay looks cool to you, pick it up, and then know that once you've "beaten" the game the first time (took me 40 hours to do) you've experienced approximately 5% of the total game content. Noita is an Easter egg wrapped inside four secrets wrapped in an enigma. One of my favorite games ever made.

I really wanted to like the OG steam controller but the touchpad-joystick-analogue makes it basically impossible to play any of the games I'd want a controller for. It's a great controller for using on things that aren't really intended for controller. Want to play an FPS leaning back in your chair? It's great for that. Want to play Hades? I'm gonna pass and plug in my dualshock instead.

I actually revisited it recently and gave it a second shot after getting used to the steam deck pads, but unfortunately it's still not really doing it for me personally.

Much more likely that no company wants to use it no matter how much it costs because it degrades. We use plastic as a packing material specifically because it doesn't degrade and lasts forever.

who was against interracial marriage until his own

No, he's still on record voting against interracial marriage while being actively in one.

I think it was profitable, at one point, up until the bait and switch that was Overwatch 2.
