No commentary on the fact that they launched them with a helium leak in the first place? Seriously? They found the problem and scrubbed a launch, only to go forward with it when they couldn’t figure it out. WTF man.

Now the helium leak is worse, and you’re just gonna give them a pass.

Agreed 100%, but to be fair I knew which way the wind was blowing with this game back before release when they made that horrible yaw change to keep pvp ‘engaging’.

The whole legs thing would have been a nice to have, though. Not being able to just stand up out of my chair was immersion breaking. Once upon a time I jumped through a whole lotta hoops to get it working with my VR headset and NGL, I cried when I drove my rover on Mars. It was that gorgeous. What struck me most was physically looking over my shoulder and seeing the tires of it kicking up dirt and leaving that telltale track on a world where nobody had ever been.

Then I realized I could never leave a bootprint. I think the worst punch to the gut with the space legs thing was not being able to do VR with it afterward. Like…wtf, there’s just a very clear disconnect between what direction the ED devs took the game versus what the players wanted.

lmao just bought one of these last week! Glad the fix is already out.

And no, I didn’t buy it for its looks xD It’s actually a decent router that does additional things I needed.

I’ve seen this over and over in corporate environments.

Suit A has a terrible idea but enough fawning bootlickers to get the process moving.

Worker A, an employee, knows this is a terrible idea but doesn’t say anything because they wanna keep their job.

Contractor B, obv a contractor, is there to make money and hopefully turn their stint into something more, so they speak up. And get canned.

What is it about Suits that they can’t listen to literally anyone but their own echo chambers? Oh yeah, they’re angling to jump into a bigger echo chamber. The 1%.

“Well, BYE!”

Because you can’t pack it up in a box and ship it to just anyone. They have to make it specifically for you. Hence case-by-case.

I think it’s easier if you imagine space/time like a flat plane that dips depending on how much mass the central object (like the sun for example) has. Earth circles around that dip much like your drain plug analogy. If the sun disappears, it still takes time for that dip to rise back up to a flat surface. That’s the speed of gravity.

As soon as space/time begins to flatten beneath the earth, its momentum begins to turn into a straight line, rather than an orbit.

AI said kill this guy right here

Yeah, everyone should take a real good look at him. When the guillotines come out you wouldn’t wanna grab the wrong guy.

I’m sure he got a bonus instead. The “C” in C-Suite stands for Certifiable. Literally divorced from reality. Needless to say they don’t earn their pay at all but all the wannabees on the board keep throwing money at them because they want their shot to be a do-nothing, too.

It really is that way! I’ve been telling myself it’s time for another LE playthrough for a year now but I’ll say it again. A modded playthrough is on my LIST! I love the Expanded Galaxy Mod with all my beating heart =)

There’s really just a metric ton. I found this video that has a way to install a bunch at once, but just keep in mind there may be some other mod out there you’d like too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Eqg9fDClCM

If I had to login to every account I wanted to pay manually I’d prob be bankrupt xD

I was just gonna say don’t let shareholders form a board. Sometimes companies need money for investment, but there’s literally nothing that states they have to give investors any kind of control. Can you imagine letting some nub who inherited dad’s money at 22 to come in and tell you that he doesn’t give a fuck about your company, he just wants another 1% profit? Why would you let any of these toxic fucks near your brainchild?

I swear this comment was a trolling attempt or one of the bloodsucking stockholder asshats that think linear growth is a bad thing.

Seriously?

There’s two kinds of people. Those who love mortars…

and those dead guys over there.

I believe they call that out in the article… the parentheses look like a late addition though?

On Halloween 2006, just 16 months after they founded the company, Huffman and Ohanian sold Reddit to Condé Nast in a deal worth $10 million and agreed to stay on as leaders for at least three years. (Condé Nast, which is owned by Advance Magazine Publishers, is the publisher of WIRED). Condé viewed Reddit as a place to experiment and where the magazine company could build out new ideas online.

But by 2009, according to users, Reddit’s website was as bare-bones as before the sale. Ohanian and another person familiar with the corporate politics say the site’s growth was stymied by Condé Nast’s uncertain desires for the property and Ohanian’s self-­acknowledged mismanagement. Reddit was awash in half-baked pursuits—including a short-lived iPhone app, iReddit—and a path to sustainable revenue wasn’t yet evident. After the cofounders’ three-year contracts expired on Halloween 2009, Huffman and Ohanian left for new pursuits.

Slowe and the handful of other staffers left behind at Reddit—now contending with the fallout from a global recession—stumbled through experiments with selling ads and subscriptions. Neither Condé execs nor users were pleased. But they managed to keep the website alive. Anyone could now open a subreddit, and by January 2011, Reddit had 57,000 of them. That year the company began operating as a subsidiary of Condé Nast’s parent, Advance, which let it function more like a startup. (Advance still owns a roughly 30 percent stake.) Amid the changes, Ohanian came back via a seat on Reddit’s board.

If people don’t just say no to this garbage, it will continue. Honestly I think I’m gonna go to an Audi dealership this weekend and crank the salesguys up before walking out on principle.

Heheh you feel better now?
