VIGILANTE 8

Twisted Metal is getting the Halo treatment with a “we pulled the sets and costumes out of a cancelled CW show”, so now would be the time to reboot the underdog battle car arena game.

343 cant make Halo cause Microsoft wants Halo The Product, not Halo The Game.

They dont want couches of happy people playing Blood Gulch, they want preorders and that “marketing moment” they got with Halo 2 and 3. They dont care about the franchise as a thing to be enjoyed, they only understand it as the thing that can be sold, and it shows.

343 devs have gone on record saying the rework of the core game and the stagnant development was due to MS saying “no, thats TOO Halo, you have to make the NEW THING.” And thus we get clusterfuck stories, reworked weapons for no reason (seriously, ANOTHER new pistol and they get rid of the SHOTGUN?), ziplines pulled from Apex Legends and more out of game marketing collabs than in game content. Oh and a shit TV show that Neil Blomkamp shouldve gotten greenlit to make 10 fucking years ago.

Also the PC port of Infinite is trash. You cant give any player input without the frame rate going bananas. Stand still and I get 60 FPS, any motion its 5.

Hey Im on the TV.

We are cattle to the elite’s ad revenue system.

Ad revenue was the Pandora’s Shit Box that has opened up the fall of capitalism. Can i just watch ads all day while i work my shit job instead so I can have a fucking life, Mr Corporation?

Bold of you to assume I am buying anything in this economy.

Imagine an encyclopedia.

Now imagine I own the encyclopedia, and Walmart offers me money.

So i paste Walmart’s Xmas catalogue pages in between the useful information in the encyclopedia. You ask about frog facts, you get frog pajamas. You try to look up cultural information and get travel ticket prices. You never planned on purchasing anything, and you are too poor too anyway. But somehow I and Walmart make money off of your displeasure.

This is ad revenue. This is the modern economy. Its a sham. Its an infinite money go brrrttt machine for billionaires.

Enshitification.

I started Enterprise begrudgingly as it was the last series I hadnt consumed yet. I got a few episodes in and thought “hey this aint that bad!”

One of the best Mirror arcs in the franchise IMO.

purely to confuse NASA scientists

Ah then it is simple: we place an ESA spacecraft there.

Most definitely. But all it takes is one visionary with one repository of a good idea to inspire a community.

The growing pains will hurt, but being open source alone gives me more confidence than I have in CEOs of competitors. Im still trying to figure out this whole “Federation” business with fediverse. If they can make it more digestible it will certainly eclipse the current lot.

So am I downloading ZIPs and running their files? Why? And many other questions are novice user may have.

Are you hacking my mainframe to steal my cloud?

I mean, no, “they” didnt!

Its a frustrating but special moment, being early enough that your dissatisfied but can watch it grow. Well just have to see what happens.

in what world do you think a github link is helpful to a normie tho?

Thats what I mean: it should be more accessible and more usable natively. If there are solutions out there open source, it would be nice to have a sort of “App Store” or similar experience, like a plug-ins or Extensions menu or something more user friendly.

if they (we?) can make things like that happen, it would be revolutionary IMO.

The mass exodus of Twitter and Reddit is like the burning of Alexandria, digital.

How many tutorials or sourced synopsis of events or other long form written media created by volunteers was lost to all of this? Its insanity.
