Ertebolle,

The Stardewification of everything continues - can't wait until Half-Life 3 finally comes out and it turns out that Black Mesa has purchased a dilapidated farm in the countryside that they've taken Gordon Freeman out of stasis to restore for them.

"All right, you look like a future pedophile in this picture, number 1. Number 2, it doesn't even have a first name, it just says AppLovin!".

Ertebolle,

It may have been more like:

Unity: "We love money and hate our customers, who can we hire to realize that vision?"

EA CEO: "Finally, a job that understands me"

Ertebolle,

Todd Howard doesn't do what Todd Howard does for Todd Howard. Todd Howard does what Todd Howard does because Todd Howard is... Todd Howard.

  • Update to a newer SoC; NVIDIA's latest chips at this thermal displacement are like 4x as fast + would easily run PS4 games
  • Upgrade the controllers to be more reliable + feel better

That's pretty much it; the OLED model is fine as far as physical design + screen, it just needs more competitive performance and to fix the Joy-Con drift nightmare

Ertebolle,

But building new plants uses a shit ton of concrete. So we’re paying the carbon cost up front, and it can take years or even decades to break even.

That's not remotely on the same scale, carbon-wise. Global output is like 4 billion tons of concrete per year, a nuclear plant uses like 12 tons per megawatt; an all-in nuclear buildout would use a tiny, tiny fraction of global concrete production and the carbon costs aren't even remotely equivalent.

(also, wind power uses way, way more concrete)

Ertebolle,

Gee, I wonder if the cost might go down if we built more of them, as is the case with, y'know, basically every other complicated thing that humans build.

Ertebolle,

Ertebolle,

I get more engagement on Mastodon with 1/10th of the followers, and that's supposedly the least popular alternative compared to Bluesky/Threads.

Ertebolle,

If the best praise their PR people have to put forward is that it's not quite as horrifically buggy as previous Bethesda games, that's... not a great sign; Microsoft paid $7.5B for ZeniMax in large part so that this specific game would be an Xbox exclusive, if it's not the level of masterpiece that gets people to buy Xboxes just to run it then it'll be one of their biggest fails since Clippy.

Ertebolle,

Batman oppresses crime and everybody thinks he’s cool, I don’t see why oppressing fascists should be any different

Ertebolle,

Todd: Daddy, if Cain and Abel were Adam and Eve’s only children, how did they make more babies?

Rod: Did they make babies with their mother, or with each other?

Ned Flanders: Your mouth is hoping for a soaping boy. Now stop asking silly questions and go kill your brother!
