Good.

It’s reached the point (or had a couple of years ago, which was the last time I went to a wiki hosted there) that it’s virtually impossible to even read an entry, since there are so many ads that the actual text of the article spends more time off the screen than on it.


That’s not a new thing though.

I first learned the wisdom of waiting until after the bulk of the bug-squashing was done before expecting to play a reasonably stable game with Oblivion, 17 years ago.

Granted that Cyberpunk 2077 was a particularly egregious example of the problem, but still…


I think that number’s pretty small too.

I’m just saying that it’s not zero.


They’d be a joke and an insignificant oddity if they didn’t deliberately make messes of everything else

My opinion exactly.

In ways, I actually feel sorry for them. In the first place, it has to suck just to be that angry and spiteful, but underneath that, it must really suck to feel so powerless and desperate and insecure that something as trivial and irrelevant as pronouns can send you into a compensatory rage.

My pity is greatly diminished by the fact that they’re toxic assholes who try to force the world to accommodate their own failures though.


I would imagine a bare handful of people install them.

There’s some number of people who are so angry and stupid that the mere sight of something like an option to choose pronouns fills them with blind, seething rage, so for them, mods like this are essentially QOL improvements.

More’s the pity…

This is and always has been the biggest issue.

Hell - if Microsoft hadn’t given him the boot when they bought out Digital Anvil, it’s entirely possible that he’d still be working on Freelancer.


Jet Set Radio Future, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Need for Speed ProStreet, Torchlight II, Paper Mario, Freelancer, Uncharted Waters: New Horizons, GTA San Andreas & Vice City, Front Mission 1 & 3, Metal Max Returns…


The only thing I’ll potentially sort of miss is the cynical comedy of the absolutely godawful shit they recommend when they don’t have a watch history to base anything on.


Of course they did.

The days in which businesses competed by trying to make the best possible product for the best possible price are dead and gone - sacrificed on the altar of shortsighted greed.

The current strategy is to make the shittiest possible product for the highest possible price, then try to manipulate things so that it sells anyway.

And that’s been Tesla’s strategy since day one.



looking through fonts to find an “X” he likes

So… you didn’t read the OP.

Yes though - I really do believe that he personally chose it, or more likely already had it in mind.

And then he played some Diablo IV, then jerked off, then played some more Diablo IV.


Makes sense.

Elon undoubtedly has folders full of cool images he’s saved, so while he was still focused on the “X” idea, he rummaged around and found that one and thought, “Yeah! This is gonna be sick dude!”

Thus are decisions made by the world’s richest teenage edgelord.
