Land a career in a STEM field and don’t have any kids. That’s what worked for me, at least.

Sure, rich people own the companies that employ the poor, but many of those same companies are investing heavily into AI and other automation so they no longer have to.

Yeah, stick it to those Celestians.

Call yourself part of the “3 Comma Club”.

Physical hobbies are alive and well, but kinda niche when compared to things like video games or tv/movies. I got into model building a couple years ago, and there are plenty of folks who are into it. I would argue the hobby is bigger than it’s ever been. Same goes for other things like r/c and tabletop gaming.

While there are different game modes, the gist of the Splatoon games is to cover the arena with as much of your team’s ink as possible. Most of the mechanics involve spreading or interacting with your ink. Since you mentioned emulation, I guess you only have access to the single player campaign, so just follow what the NPCs tell you.

Got mine at 18 in the USA. I took a driver’s ed course though my high school that included a few after school driving lessons, and my state also requires 20 hrs of driving with a licensed driver.

Sounds like you were shadow banned for something. Your account is still active and you can post, but no one sees them. A lot of people see this is cowardly, but many platforms use it because if you outright ban a bad actor, there’s little stopping them from making a new account and continuing doing whatever it was that got them banned.

She’s definitely the coolest 30MS kit Bandai has released so far.

Is “fediverse” not an adequate name?

Probably more floundering. An EA exec told them at one point that their demo was crap (and based on word from other devs, he was probably right), so they reintroduced flight, which IMO was one of the best aspects of the game. EA didn’t force a new story or concept on Bioware, though. All that was Bioware’s own fault between lack of leadership and staff burnout.

A long read, but this article goes pretty in-depth on what happened during the development of Anthem: https://kotaku.com/how-biowares-anthem-went-wrong-1833731964

Most likely. The majority of MS products and services are interconnected in some way.

I wouldn’t be surprised. Desktop revenue has been a pretty small slice for their revenue long before AI was a thing. Their main drivers were server products and O365, and now AI and Azure are also pushing a lot of revenue.

Netflix cancelled the show, and after fan backlash, they ended up greenlighting a finale. While the finale was pretty abrupt, it was better than nothing.

Maybe. Maybe not. Some Amazon exec thinks it will, though.

This isn’t for Fallout fans. It’s for people who watch Netflix/Prime and saw the Fallout show. Reality shows are pretty popular on these platforms (Beast Games is #2 on Prime right now) so that’s who they’re going after.

A reality show vault? Not even Vault-Tec had any experiments that were that cruel.

Hashbrowns scattered all the way was my go-to.

“Anthem actually had the code for local servers running in a dev environment right up until a few months before launch,” Darrah continued. “I don’t know that they still work, but the code is there to be salvaged and recovered. The reason you do this, it pulls away the costs of maintaining this game. So rather than having dedicated servers that are required for the game to run, you let the server run on one of the machines that’s playing the game.” This, he added, could have worked alongside an additional move to add AI party members to the game, allowing people to play it like a single-player game.

Ok, this is even more heartbreaking now. I loved the concept of Anthem and had a fair bit of fun with the game in its current (prior to shutdown) state and was hopeful that the “Next” project would overhaul it into something great. I still don’t blame EA for their decisions in this case; Bioware fucked around for way too long during development and the overhaul project was most likely seen as too little, too late… or too expensive.
