Somethings got to give if SS dries up, what that is I do not know. I have hopes for a more robust, more ahem socialized healthcare system, but that doesn't seem likely with current trends

Re:Trusting Fatshark with Warhammer 40k: Darktide (2020) on Monday January 16, 2023 @02:13PM (#34404349)
This was published before the game released. Since it's release it seems that Fatshark made some false promises in terms of what the game would entail and that the game took a large step back from what Vermintide 2 (Fatshark's prior game) offered in terms of QoL, stability, and gameplay loop.

Re:Apple is building the metaverse substrate on Monday June 21, 2021 @04:27PM (#27583988)
Which is where this falls apart. In the book the Metaverse is basically a completely novel location in “VR”.

>chromium - web browsers on Linux spent a decade going through a cycle of slick new slimline web browsers gradually getting buried in creeping features until they were as weighed down with chrome grills and ornamental fins as a fifties US car, at which point everyone would switch to some new minimalist alternative.
