@MissShinoBee Beaming with murrican pride!

I don't think I've seen anybody buy one. They just take pictures with them and put them back lol

[Super Eric @SuperbEric]

I don't think the concept is completely dead on arrival.

I think it'll be a good option for fleets. I could also see the Wrangler-esque look entice certain circles.

Anything that can wean people off foreign oil without too much compromise is a good thing.

I hope Slate can find its niche in the automotive bubble.

It would have been a huge hit a few years ago, when a lot of aspiring early adopters were priced out of most models.

I don't know why someone would pick this over something used for the same price though.

Shouts to the curvy lady taking belfies next to me during my workout.

Completely derailed my workout, but I'm not even mad about it. They all can't be hits, mirite?

New level of Catholic guilt unlocked: the pope wants to know why you haven’t finished that draft yet.

@albinojiginosis Those Flugtag commercials were the coolest thing back in the day.

The World Cup is proof that, if it weren't for our leaders, the vast majority of people around the world would get along just fine.

[Super Eric @SuperbEric]

I hate that Steam Machine caught strays.

It's a cool concept, but that pricing stuff was out of their power. It sucks to see it become a meme.

[John Carmack @ID_AA_Carmack]

There are a few things that I look back on as my mistakes in the early days.

Quake was overly ambitious technically. We could have done all the great multiplayer and modding work inside a Doom++ engine, allowing the designers to work with a more stable base instead of rug-pulling everything out from underneath them a couple times. The follow up game could have then brought in full 6DOF environments and characters.

I pushed everyone too hard. I didn’t appreciate how maturing companies need more slack, and that running people at startup intensity constantly will wear them out. Quake was also where I really had to accept my personal limits. I was working pretty much as hard as humanly possible, and I was still slipping past my goal points.

On all of the founders’ shoulders, our original corporate stock arrangement and buy/sell agreement was a mistake, and resulted in bad incentives. We wanted to ensure that all ownership rested in the hands of people working hard on current projects, but the Silicon Valley standard approach of vesting stock would have worked out better.

One real problem that I don’t accept the blame for is that we were insisting that level designers be not just game designers, but also have strong visual design esthetics. They needed to make things that not only played well, but looked awesome, and it got more challenging as the technology provided a richer palette. Romero covered that well, which set our company expectations early on.

We should have figured out how to pair up artists and designers earlier, but there was infighting among the designers, and the ones that could manage the visuals were happy to disparage the ones that couldn’t.

Sorry, Sandy.

@albinojiginosis Ask him again at the end of the year lol

@LaSombra773 It's crazy how the PS2 starting line up was way back when. So many good games.

Now it's become a one-game console lol

[Super Eric @SuperbEric]

It's too bad consoles are the way they are now.

There's no way GTA6 is anything short of amazing, but the cost of entry kills any interest for me. I'd be buying a console for 1 game.

Honestly UMVC3 will forever just not stop surprising me LMFAO. Saw a video of someone doing a super without a full bar & I had a feeling on why

You can lv1 super at exactly 9999 meter. 1 bar = 10000

Apparently though it doesn't work on double team nor 29999 for lv3

Amazing 🤣

[Praise @tufpraise]

All this in just 4 years.

Remember when they insisted it was impossible to build green infrastructure quickly enough

[𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖒𝖆𝖘𝖙𝖊𝖗 @JoshLBarnett]

To be fair, just from the comments under your post alone, it's clear you are correct here - the amount of people that would pay to see me pull you apart in a wrestling ring/cage would definitely do good great business.

I guess that "heat" you've built over the years is pretty marketable as even your "fans" truly want to see get your ass kicked for real LOL.

[Super Eric @SuperbEric]

It's obvious that guy is dying. Social media is going to be fun when that day comes.

But I hate that. I'd love it if he lived longer, suffered, and was held accountable for all the stuff he's done.

Him dying within the next few months means he got away with it.

[Super Eric @SuperbEric]

I hate the talking point of "there'd be no 45 if it weren't for 44." There is some truth to it, but it's mostly used as a way to avoid accountability.

You'll see a lot of that after he's gone. People acting like they never supported him, as if there aren't receipts.

[Super Eric @SuperbEric]

@geofftrainwreck Feel yourself all you want, you worked your ass off for it.

Good stuff man.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7
