“Is it even America anymore if he can’t sing the classics?” ~ Tucker Carlson, FoxNews later today

This Elon is good Elon.

It’s funny, I subscribed to PS/PM when I was a kid and I get the exact same feeling reading David Tracy articles as I did back then. Only Popular Science could make a 12 year old understand the physics behind buckminsterfullerene and graphene.

This is the Elon I like to see. Less drama, more science, and ....humble?
Also, reading this article felt like reading Popular Science articles from the 90s-early 2000s, in that it felt appropriately scientific yet easily digestible.

This is impressive. I’m not the world’s biggest Musk fan, but very few C-suite executives have anywhere that level of knowledge about their product. Credit where credit is due, good for him. 

This, I’ve been saying this for a while. It’s just stupid to pair superpowers to equipment, I understand it for Iron Man, but the Hulk? Besides, I’m burned out of looter shooters, and this premise would not make me come back. The last straw was the Spider-Man exclusivity, while I do own a PS4, I bought a Series X…

trying to pair super heroes with looter shooter mechanics was doomed from the start. Except for a mere handful of examples heroes don’t derive their powers from equipment so it makes no damn sense to build a game around a mechanic where you’re supposed to be excited when you loot that new 4 strength 4 stam leather…

Maybe, but Mankind Divided was also a significant step down in quality from the previous outing. Square Enix’s problem is very simple: they keep expecting A-list sales for B-list quality games.

I got this game for free and I loved the opening segment with Ms. Marvel. Then the REAL game took over and it was so boring. Why wouldn’t they have just made a game with real missions and a story to progress through? Instead it’s a fancy loot shooter with a story slapped on after someone at Square realized they needed…

Wish they went full-throttle with these. Yeah, it’s a AAA game, but as soon as it wasn’t the movie Avengers you could tell enthusiasm fell way off. Maybe that would’ve been prohibitively expensive, but that’s the game I was theoretically excited about, not this porn-parody version.

If you ever wondered whether Live Service really is a poisoned term in gaming or is it really just us hardcore players that hate that stuff i.e. surely it means nothing to the general public, then I cant help but think this is a good example.

Should have made sure the game itself looked and played like a AAA game before marketing it as such and asking websites to talk it up.

Maybe they should have sold the single player more. Because the marketing I saw was all about multiplayer. Which I didn’t care for. But I figure I will try the game when it is cheaper. Because of Kamala Khan!

These are the same people that said Tomb Raider and Hitman selling 3mil+ copies each were failures.

The win ultimately came at the hands (and mail-in ballots) of voters in states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Georgia—historically red states that flipped thanks in part to record voter turnout from Black communities,

Man, RotJ has been in my mind all day. Watching the celebration across the country reminds me of galaxy-wide celebrations in the Special Edition.

WAKANDA FOREVER YA ORANGE SON OF A BITCH

Seriously: Stacey Abrams rocks. After that ugly loss in Georgia (that she should have won) she doubled down and found a new outlet and thanks to her and the people around her, Georgia has become a serious contender for the Democrats. The woman absolutely deserves a place in Biden’s administration.

Yub Nub version!

Cue the celebration sequence from Return of the Jedi.
