Tbh is the ending of this one is as uninspired as the original game, I won't be picking it up.
Game is fairly fun, gets repetitive by the end, but I'm kinda tired of games that just end unceremoniously. Looking at you too, stray.

Jesus H Christ... congrats on being the one millionth person on kbin to say "What are YOU doing?" while talking down their literal list of what they are doing.

a-man-from-earth is right, Kbin is in a sorry state right now. I still get asked to login when I want to comment, despite being logged in, at which point it takes me to the home page. Viewing a reply to your comment is still not pagination-aware.

Ernest has said this version of kbin is frozen until he rolls out the next, hopefully the end of September, so by his own admission Kbin as we know and use it is the same pile it was months ago. That said I remain hopeful that the next rollout will be a big improvement.

Back to the topic, if the site isn't easy and intuitive to use, or if it's broken and remains a thorn for a long time, then you can't expect people to go out of their way to do the thing you want them to do. That's not how the world works.

a-man-from-earth has submitted bug fixes to try and improve the site so people might be more willing to stick around and post themselves, while you're just posting content that'll eventually become irrelevant. What are YOU doing? (See? It's asinine right?)

Trillions of packages delivered successfully, but because some idiot thought waxpaper was a good packing for cookies we should throw out that system? I'd love to hear your thoughts on how such a system would work at that kind of throughput.

The least they can do is either number or codename the shots. How do I ask the local pharmacy if they have the updated shot? "The one they've been working on for a while?" "Just came out?"

Call it booster shot #, give it a more interesting name, or call it an amalgamation of the strains it targets.

Why not be the change you wish to see, then? Fork it, and surely they will come.

That or Linus' work is of high enough quality that people are willing to put up with his crass behavior.

Also, somewhat unrelated, but comparing Linus to Elon is a nonstarter. Elon has money, but contributes little more than ego past that. Linus, on the other hand, actually gets his hands dirty. I don't care for his behavior, but I do respect someone who actually does the work.

You're right he can be a bit crass without needing to be. The outcome of his methods is exemplary, though.

One has to wonder to what degree this can be prevented if we stop doing stupid shit like growing water-hungry crops in Arizona and allowing megacorps to pump without limits...

Sounds like the exact same thing, just slightly more abstracted. How many hurts is a dying?

Gotta install the last star from snap, I bet.

Put a banner outside saying "no gratuity necessary, the price you see is the price you pay!" and watch what happens.

How the hell did this headline get past the editor??
This sounds like the FBI shot the man's family after he threatened Biden, saying he's frustrated.
It's hard to put much stock in their interpretation of the facts when their attention to detail never graced the headline even for a minute...
