Yeah it's really indicative of how low the bar has been set for content. Writing an article about someone else's article could only fly on the modern internet where everyone is desperately competing for even a second of your attention.

In truth though what an amazing concept for a post apocalyptic legacy drama??

This is a moot argument. You're saying the system doesn't support artists and that artists shouldn't expect it to. Why not? Why can't the system be changed? Streams should not be equivalent to tweets and it's dumb to think they should be.

I don't think that :/ I think his statements and the games he chooses to back sort of prove that ultimately profit is what he is interested in. I don't blame him for that. But don't make him out to be what he isn't. He is a CEO first, being a fan of games falls lower on the list.

I get the first part of the joke (klingons were on the Enterprise during the Tribble episode) but don't get the bit with O'Brian

Yeah and there are tons of angles and gestures for human subjects that AI just can't figure out still. Any time I've seen a "stunning" AI render it's some giant FOV painting with no real subject or the subject takes up a 12th of the canvas.

I haven't played Timberborn but I almost did pick it up on the spring sale, decided to get dotAGE instead to see what all the fuss was about and damn I love it. It's a lot more of a worker placement game and is a roguelike so if that doesn't interest you it might not be for you but damn it's good so far.

If it helps try thinking of it as a "boomer shooter" because of the proliferation of rockets and rocket physics in classic games like Unreal and Quake

Yeah it has to be RL. I too have been playing for 10 years and still trash.

All of the Virtute The Cat songs by The Weakerthans, but Virtute The Cat Explains Her Departure in particular will make me tear up any time I hear it.

Exactly. Even if the impacts of the national economy were felt among the average voter most presidents shouldn't actually influence the market much at all anyway. Trumps solitary mission in office was to loosen regulations on corpos though so he, in fact, did help the economy to the detriment of pretty much everything else. It's an idiotic metric, countries aren't businesses and saying "profit levels are down 18% :(" is meaningless when profit levels have been steadily ascending to disgusting heights for decades.
