Doom and Age of Empires creator Sandy Petersen blasts Amazon over their handling of Stargate:
"1) get handed a massively popular IP that spans 17 years of successful shows."
"2) realize it has millions of loyal fans, desperate for more. They are now in their 40s and 50s, flush with money. Eager to teach their kids & grandkids about Stargate."
"3) you could start with this. You are already three steps up the ladder to huge success. The fans will evangelize it, if you don't wreck the IP. Don't believe it? Look how the fans evangelized Battlestar Galactica after its 30 year hiatus. And the initial Dr Who reboot after 15 years."
"4) cancel the project because you want a "new take" that will eliminate all the loyal fans and turn them into bitter enemies."
"It's like an ancient Greek play about hubris."
Why are corporate execs like this?
@VoltPilotDan@WassymBensaid I’d love a tonneau control from the Rivian phone app.
Not sure about the remote start though. Digital key sharing seems like it solves that problem.
@NeekapHere Holy fuck lol. All we wanted was for the default in-game dispellable debuff indicator to show up on our raid frames. Blizzard couldn’t even figure out how to make that work IN THEIR DEFAULT RAID FRAMES, so they’re making the auras public to fix the bug.
Positions ICE has taken:
- We can enter your home without a warrant
- You must carry your papers at all times
- But we can ignore them and only our scanner matters
- We can detain you anywhere, no matter your age, situation or status
- Indefinitely with no access to a lawyer
- And basically no right to a day in court
- We can send you to a third world prison if we choose
- But we can’t bring you back if we made a mistake
- And if you interfere with any of this we can shoot you because you are a terrorist
How is this not a recipe for totalitarianism?
BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says. https://t.co/r3uyyj3LWL
Vercel will be officially sponsoring https://t.co/QF7eOed81b. That's a given. We as a community and industry owe @adamwathan and team a lot. Tailwind is foundational web infrastructure at this point (it fixed CSS 😉). I've also reached out to Adam to explore how we can make this a longer-term commitment.
President Donald Trump seemed to struggle to keep his eyes open during a roughly 20-minute stretch at an Oval Office event on drug-price cuts.
Sitting behind the Resolute Desk, Trump’s eyes repeatedly closed while his deputies took turns giving remarks. https://t.co/bBrgTWcULi
