Or you could just do the thing yourself with less effort and less wasted resources. The true Turing test is knowing when something doesn’t need fucking AI to do.

I think you’re confusing social media and late stage capitalism. Social media hasn’t done anything to anyone, capitalism has used social media to further its own ends.

One other thing I haven’t seen mentioned is selling ice cream is only a sustainable business for a few months out of the year in many places. Whereas you can sell burgers/dogs/etc year-round. But yeah, as far as I know they’ve always sold fast food - their burgers were a fave of mine when I was a kid in the 70s.

What a fucking waste of resources

I think a lot of it is that he spends much more strategically and with lots of strings attached. He also does a lot of work to basically indoctrinate folks who aren’t big players and fund them until they are - JD Vance being a prime example. He’s basically developed into a cult leader for rich wannabes and ends up owning their asses.

That was the one that came immediately to mind for me - there was a behind the scenes thing where he talked about sourcing and using these very niche old lenses.

What I don’t get about this is that a gallon of distilled water is like .99 cents at your local grocery store in the US. This is not a huge problem to acquire safe water to do this.

Like all of his fanboys, you first attempted to minimize his history by saying it was all about him saying the “N” word. When I said it was actually more than that and provided info about the most egregious example, you said “oh, that was so long ago!”. I provide info on another incident from 3 years ago, and you’re complaining about how I’m trying to castrate the guy.

If you don’t like factual statements about his history of behavior and the obvious patterns, maybe don’t idolize an asshole? But don’t come into public spaces and try and sell it as “Oh, he just said a naughty word once. Isn’t weird how upset people were about that? He was young/it was a long time ago/he’s changed now.”

Yeah, because there hasn’t been anything since then, right?

Or does the counter automatically get reset every time there’s another apology video? There have been so many, after all.

The lengths some of you all go to in order to defend a racist, Nazi-cosplaying edgelord who makes fun of people with disabilities is a little insane.

“Kjellberg tacitly compares himself to Hitler, gives a Nazi salute, and shows a series of clips of Nazi imagery, including a crowd of Nazis saluting, Nazi soldiers marching, and footage of Hitler Youth.”

Yeah, if you don’t see “nazi” after that, that’s on you I think.

More so for being/cosplaying (same thing) as a fucking nazi https://www.vox.com/culture/2017/2/17/14613234/pewdiepie-nazi-satire-alt-right

Was trying to figure out when this was published - looks like April 1949. Unfortunately all too timeless.

Well, if he loves movies, he should do one about the disappearance of Shelly Miscavige - that would be fascinating!

Yep, you called it https://www.shutterstock.com/editorial/image-editorial/harvey-weinstein-rita-ora-oprah-winfrey-3571952ag

Black Mirror is too high brow for these folks, I think this is turning more into Swarzenegger’s Running Man.

Well, basically Microsoft bought the entire company and now acts as their publisher so better than Private Division but that’s all you can say 🤷🏼‍♂️

As for working with Private Division, Obsidian didn’t have a lot of options at the time - they were basically short on cash and couldn’t find anyone to front the money to make the game. They took the deal they could and the success of Outer Worlds contributed to Microsoft being willing to pick them up which in turn led to Obsidian being able to continue to make games.

I don’t know about the unpatched bugs, but the Spacer’s Choice edition was put out by their old publisher Private Division – Obsidian had no say in it and didn’t contribute anything to it. Private Division paid a third party developer to do Spacer’s Choice Edition and the Switch port.

Black gospel music has often been the only Christian-oriented music that really did it for me. A lot of blues, soul, etc was created by folks who got their start in black gospel music, and used what they learned there in secular genres. Hugely influential in so many different types of music.
