That’s a bit of a shame, but tbh I was not expecting another re-implementation like for System Shock 1, anyways.

Which, if anyone here is still on the fence, is absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended!

Yeah that’s how I understand it, too. They’ll do turn-based, but probably not in their “biggest” outings as they know action-based tends to (usually) sell better.

I wouldn’t exactly call it an MMO? I mean I get it for marketing purposes, sure, but it feels more like Valheim or so to me?

I mean that guy was a dickcheese even before he tried to torpedo this initiative. But wow did he add to his pile of stink.

I mean as they say it’s unclear whether it was a joke or not, but with this administration, it’s not like “joke”, “trolling” and “serious” are any difference in form or function. 😑

Tired of winning yet, americans?

Good riddance I say.

WTF.

Matt and Nicole are huge losses already, Nicole’s investigate stuff for example was amazing. Did you not read Polygun much in years?

Florida

Uh oh…

Plan to replace migrant workers

Ah that’s entire expected. :'(

with children

THE FUCK?!

What the fuck is wrong with people in Florida. How do people own guns and let these deranged lunatics in suits parade around for even a single day?!

Not bad for an early engine test demo for a game to be released in 2005. Impressive in fact!

This is what people don’t get.

This is just double-win: He gets to once again shit on anybody even marginally less fascist that him (so, well, everybody) for the right-wing mass media, while simultaneously withdrawing from the public eye to have less people look at how he’s draining money from the US gov.

Dude could be destitute in a barrel and IMO needs to lose far far more. He deserves every little shit thing that happens to him, and is one of the few people on the planet where if they have a serious roadside accident I might just suddenly remember I panic from seeing blood and hence could not stop to help them and and in my panic did not have enough clear thought to call an ambulance. And I’d do that for murderers. But not for Musk. He’s the scum that cannot die soon enough, and cannot die painfully enough.

Yeah. We can assume he gave himself an insane amount of extra cash through his access (like the surprising-wink-wink gov contracts his companies have now), but we don’t know truly know how much and he’d be stupid to let anybody know.

He has to get the fuck out now though because obviously him gaining a few more billions cost the american state + public hundreds of billions in long-term damage, if not trillions. It also made swaths of the american government dysfunctional, things like veteran aid etc.

I mean if never want one, but in an engineering level this site looks fascinating.

Go into politics.

Can confirm, ran the numbers and in just over 3 years Atlanta turned every american gay. That’s why for such a long time now, every american is gay, always. It’s those body scanner!

Aww, I was so hoping I’d get another assistant like thing, Google definitely needs more of those.

Jesus fucking hell. You really can only partially fault Melon Husk or Trumpeteer for this shit, I mean people seem to actively want to get exploited, hard.

It’s like always with these right-wingers: The louder they yell, the more you know they’re guilty. In particular any time one of them cries “Protect the children”, you should just cut their dick off right then and there.

Other way around. Open Library is part of the internet archive. Given it’s also vastly superior in quality and has tools to maintain and administrate the data, I very much prefer it over alternative offerings. If Bookwyrm at least had a curation/maintainence team or support group or something, and not everyone could just nilly-willy add duplicates of existing entries, then I could see more use for it.

But like others have said, it’s also a bit of a different use case. If you want to pull data, definitely do it from OL. They’re the same source Bookwyrm uses for its main data import, after all.

Considering who is behind it, I just use Open Library. In particular because like you say, their actual data is much more useful.
