Right, that’s all good. Now you have to get a couple of low-ranking servicemen to carry out every step of that hundred page manual to the letter on each of their several dozen machines, daily, after they’ve been deployed for an ongoing 10 months because their superiors are morons, and are further scheduled to become the longest running carrier deployment of all time at over a year of deploy time, because their superiors are morons.

I’d believe that some corners were cut in these servicemen’s duty, and it just happened to be one too many corners one too many times. The men are fatigued, they want to get off the ship. It’s possible these corners were even cut on purpose with exactly this result in mind in an attempt to get them off the ship.

Sure. This comment thread is about class mobility in the West though.

But, fact is, it seems it’s the same everywhere.

Throughout pretty much all of human history it’s been apparent that the “nobles” class has been, at best, more trouble than they’re worth; and at worst, the instigating spark that creates a nation-destroying blaze.

It should come as no surprise to anyone who has read a history book that the American nobleman is equally as useless and destructive as his counterpart anywhere else.

Oh yeah it’s totally a bullshit argument, it wouldn’t hold water in any court. Hell if nothing else, the ground stations like you said, or the country whose airspace the center exists over, would be in jurisdiction.

But I do believe that Musk believes it’s a get out of jail free card.

Putting them in space also puts them technically outside of the legal jurisdiction of any country. I figure fElon probably assumes that means said servers can never be subpoenaed.

I think it is likely that the Ukraine war will be widely considered the beginning of a series of events that will later be labeled “the ramp up to WWIII”, of which this is an indirect extension.

They aren’t defending shit

Chad mod action nuking whatever this exchange was but leaving the bit at the end where the guy was humble and respectable

Yeah well if Sony would have just let em cook and provided me with PC ports of Bloodborne and Demon’s Souls then they would have happily received my money. Instead they get to recieve an extended middle finger.

Yep.

My mother submitted every single photo of me she has to some AI art service, spent the next six months sending me slopped-up photos of myself, and is somehow unable to understand why I might be upset about the situation.

And where do you plan to live while you amass this money…?

Would you say the same about all Russians? That all Russians are the enemy and deserve death because their leader Putin is a warmonger?

This would be a valid argument if X itself weren’t the ones generating the images.

Learned about this for the first time earlier today watching Mortismal’s Divinity recap videos lol

I did know about Divine Divinity (which, fun fact, canonically features Lucian the Divine as your player character) but Dragon Commander completely missed my radar.

Man I really want to get into Mechwarrior but I’m just so ridiculously bad at the game and I have no idea how to get better.

I’ve tried to begin the MW5 campaign three times now and I’ve been priced out of existing every time, I take way too much damage and my repair bills vastly outstrip my income. Combine with having to spend hundreds of thousands of credits in travel fees to get anywhere and I’m very quickly even more broke than I started.

Just for kicks the other day I set up an Instant Action for testing purposes and I brought two Atlases, a Highlander and an Archer to some random backwater mid-difficulty mission and still barely limped out of there alive, with the Highlander and one of the Atlases downed. That’s just shameful.

Fuck that, when I bought Chrono Trigger for the SNES, I owned that game. I still own that game. Nintendo has not broken into my home to rescind my license to a physical cartridge that I purchased.

They also have the highest incidence of fire based death of any car of all time, including the Ford Pinto, which was best known for catching fire.

Hey I was that weirdo that down voted this, and I assure you it was by accident and I changed it now. I actually never got the chance to play Apocalypse and hot damn, I had no idea it was a whole sequel, I thought it was an expanded release in the same vein as a bunch of the Persona games have (P3->FES, P4->Golden, P5->Royal).

So, amending my statement, play SMTIV and then play Apoc.

Also, excuse me, I have some shopping I need to do.

but it would be an incredibly stupid thing to do.

So we can pretty much bank on it definitely happening, got it.

Leave Pokémon behind, play some Shin Megami Tensei, thank me later.

There’s a pipeline of former Pokémon fans thinking “Huh, these games have kind of gone to crap, I wish I had this same monster-collector style game but with a real plot and interesting characters” and then SMTIV falls from the sky like manna from heaven unto them.

I don’t think IV is actually the best SMT game, I think that honor goes to Nocturne - which is available on the Switch - but SMTIV is a good showing of the series that is available for 3DS. If you have the option, pick up SMTIV-Apocalypse, it’s an expanded “GOTY-style” re-release of IV, but the base game is also fine.
