"Covenant" and "Prometheus" would've been killer movies to kick off a new IP.

I might be the old man shouting at clouds, but I've been turned off to all franchise "reboots". Just sick of rehashes and revisits and the cute little "winks" these movies do to the previous installments. Have an original thought, damn.

Notes while I'm watching:

  1. The "vibe" is different - in my head I translated this to "he likes the GUI more"
  2. Minetest has zero "story" / progression (so no Ender Dragon to gear up for & fight) - it's purely a sandbox experience.
  3. better performance, apparently runs on potato laptops pretty well
  4. Mods are built-in, and don't require tools like Forge or whatever to tweak a jar file ⬅️ THIS is cool!
  5. Customization via the Settings menu

The "built-in support for mods" caught my eye. That's pretty slick, and a headache with MC.

tl;dr - it runs on just about everything, and focuses on giving the player an easy-to-mod "sandbox" to play in.

One day I hope to write a "go fuck yourself" email of this caliber.

Just occurred to me - are there streamers who read books aloud for their audience? Like a live audiobook?

The scariest thing in the world would be if they gave Sinbad another tv show.

I wouldn't doubt if he got a few of them pregnant

Nearly breaking her back to bend the truth. That's just "rape" with extra words. Her great-grandfather raped his slaves, and instead of just saying "that's bad" she defends sexual assault. It's hard to wrap my brain around.

I hear you, but consider it goes well beyond the sticky plant - simply possessing marijuana in many areas of the US can still get you thrown in jail. With many of those same states enforcing "mandatory terms" for drug crimes, we have thousands of people jailed for years for non-violent offenses. We have a lot of huge issues to deal with, but the "War on Drugs" from the start was a thin veil for persecuting minorities, and it's still going.

I'm hoping for the rest of your list of requests, too, but personally I think federal weed legalization would have a wider-reaching, far more profound impact on our population than forgiving student loans.

is now suspended with pay — her salary is $232,600 a year

For her outburst she's been rewarded with not having to work & she's still getting a six-figure paycheck. Must be nice.
