I did not lose interest in 2. I simply couldn't get it. I think we had some demo versions but they just... didn't work. I have a functioning copy now, but I haven't played it much. It is a fantastic game.

I never got into WOW. As a 90s kid Warcraft was always the FIRST game in the series. I couldn't get the 2nd one as a kid (and only played part of it a few years ago to get it out of my system).

This hatred for old games makes me want to take a shit outside their offices.

25,833 USD a month will result in the ultimate comfortable lifestyle. A big house, car, 100% Healthcare. Everything you could possibly need and a loy more.

The game will play as primitively as a forgotten shitty early 90s game but somehow need 8gb of hard drive space, 32GB of DDR5 RAM (64GB recommended) and a GeForce 4090 for the minimum settings. It will also look EXACTLY like an early 90s game, with a resolution of 320x240 and not a pixel more! Think God of Thunder but only without the charm, or the fact that it was made by one person, or the fact that the guy put real effort into it. Have a team of thousands who are paid next to nothing to simply train an AI model and call it a day.

Edit: It will also cost 110$ at launch, cost 0.05$ per minute of play (0.10$ in peak hours), and all purchases in the game require actual real life money to be used to buy doge coin which will actually be the only thing you can use.

The game will cost you 90$ to start, but you need to continually be paying money to play it. He will claim it is an authentic 90s online game because in some places back then, you paid for the internet per minute of use.

His games will fail so hard it isn't funny. The only people who speak positively of his games are his fans who will buy them and play them for only 10 seconds (and never again) before gushing about how cool they are.

Simple: he doesn't.

In his mind the government needs to be run like a business, and in business only profit matters, therefore there is no conflict of interest. Also it is becoming clear that laws are completely irrelevant now and no matter the accusation, they will put YOU in jail because they got the power.

I remember watching DS9 back in the 90s. I didn't see it as a bad show. Not sure why people hate it. But then again... I haven't seen any of it since the 90s...

I never used X. I did half-assedly make an account in 2013 but I have long since deleted it. I have no real use for twitter.

This is why billionaires shouldn't exist.

The other thing I need to mention is that is that Elon Musk is far from the only billionaire with a massively disproportionate influence on elections and society. Or even the biggest. He is just the biggest attention whore of them all.

Has been that way since the mid 80s.

The war against the fairness doctrine was started after the Nixon Watergate scandal and how there was no media apparatus that was 100% on Nixon's side and calling the other side monkeys and bastards.

I remember in the late 90s and early 2000s when Christian conservatives said that sex Ed was increasing teen pregnancy rates when in reality they had been dropping since sex Ed was introduced. ..
