One extra thing a lot of articles haven’t pointed out is that the mod was locked behind a patreon paywall. Sticking mods behind paywalls has been a hot subject (to put it gently) in the community for a while now. Not to rush to the defense of the most profitable franchise in the world, but yeah that’s absolutely gonna get you shut down.
Curious how it’ll perform in real world conditions. Sodium batteries are supposed to have much better charging times and don’t degrade the way lithium batteries do, both of which would be huge. Fingers crossed they live up to expectations.
(Also obligatory “expand and improve public transit damnit!”)
That is The King’s Hand, and you will show it respect! 😤
Is this article AI generated? It’s absolutely awful. Ending with youtube-style engagement bait is just embarrassing, you’re the journalist, you should be the one to reach out to a lawyer and get an opinion.

Honestly this is one of the things I appreciate about Trek. Things don’t just automatically get better and better throughout human history. But in both Trek and real life, people want things to get better and will fight to make them better if given a chance. Past Tense might be my favorite episode of TV in general because while things might still get worse before they get better, the Bell Riots are one of the things that spurs people into action.
I think there’s a lot to be hopeful for in that respect. We’re seeing a resurgence of unions and labor action after they collapsed in the 90s, the development of an incredibly large anti war movement, and people are realizing things only change if we force them to.
Anyways, there will always be bad things happening in a capitalist society, but there will always be people fighting to make things better, and right now a lot of people are realizing they want to be a part of that group.
So yeah, shit sucks but there will always be people who want to fix things.
Lots of cast members ended up directing over the years. 90’s Trek had a reputation for being a factory for directorial debuts. It’s really neat, it brought a lot of variety and personality to the episodes.
And you may find yourself living in a starship bunk
And you may find yourself in another part of the galaxy
And you may find yourself behind the helm of a large delta flyer
And you may find yourself in a beautiful holodeck, with a beautiful holo-wife
And you may ask yourself, “Well, how did I get here?”
And the answer is pretty simple, it was the caretaker.
Going off 20+ year old memories so I’ve probably got some stuff wrong, but basically there was an evil guy literally named Hacker (who in my head was voiced by Christopher Lloyd?) who was trying to infect the program lady who was in charge of everything with a virus. The actual episodes were basically just “uh oh Hacker is up to some bullshit, time to stop him in some way that will involve math.”
Smae. Some of it is probably learned from her goofball idiot caretaker, but I’m just gonna say one of us has lost a fight with the ceiling and it wasn’t me.
Edit: this made me realize I’ve never actually tried to fight the ceiling. Hold on gotta test, will report back.
Copy/pasting from when this was posted in a news community:
To be brutally honest, this is fucking peanuts. A jobs training program for a measly 20k people, with nothing to indicate any steps against corporations that are actually responsible for climate change. This should be a slap in the face after (as the article even points out) Biden opened more federal land for drilling.
We need the energy industry to be taken in to public ownership, with direct accountability to the people (not corporate parties), significant investment into climate stabilization and climate change resistant infrastructure, and have workers (who by and large do not want to burn the planet to the ground) take more control over their workplaces. Biden wouldn’t dare threaten corporate profits, so we’re never going to see anything significant from him.

Seems like the largest criticisms are that the Bloodborne inspiration is a little too obvious/heavy-handed and the usual discourse around soulsbonre difficulty, both of which can very much be positives depending on personal preference. Personally I’m very down for some spiritual successors since Sony hasn’t been doing anything with Bloodborne, and the difficulty was perfect for me in the demo (and I have to give them credit for putting out a comprehensive 2+ hour demo, that was a real breath of fresh air). Glad it seems like they pretty much hit the mark on what they were going for.
Capitalism defines success as profits increasing at an ever-increasing rate. During the height of the pandemic, tech companies tended to fare better than other industries because they were better able to handle the switch to remote work (among other things). This wasn’t lost on investors, who smelled money in the water, and went all in on tech. Like, seriously, colossal amounts of money, and they expect returns on those investments. Problem is, we’ve hit the point where the easy profit sources for these companies have more or less dried up, and now they’re having to squeeze whatever they can out. This is why we’ve seen massive layoffs, quick money making schemes, and things like this that will be disastrous in the long run, but stand to make some short-term profits.
It’s a boneheaded move, but when all you care about is pleasing the investors right now, it’s the logical way to operate.
Jon (ManyATrueNerd) has great playthroughs of most of the fallout series, including some wild challenge runs of 3/NV/4. He’s definitely more familiar with the more recent games, but it was fun to see him go back and figure out the older games.
