I never played it but the Thomas the Train mod for skyrim is hilarious.

I think the worry is that pushing out so many remasters depletes resources that could be used to make other games.

Not actually sure if that's true, tbh. I think remasters are often handled by different companies/studios/teams rather than the teams working on all new projects. Although if Sony is tight on cash, funding both teams at once could prove really difficult.

Oh I'm quite confident that they and their monied backers are very interested in the plight of the farmers. When those farmers get knocked out of the market, the big agri corps can buy farms for pennies on the dollar.

I'd be shocked if he's actually in good enough physical health to run again.

Sadly, I think Vance and his ilk might actually be a graver threat and Trump leaving the picture affords them an opportunity to rise up. The corporate cyberpunk dystopias they're dreaming of are terrifying.

Evidence he bought his way in?

Sure, there are a lot of dumb people at those companies. But that's not the point. Failures don't prove that the leadership or specific individuals are dumb. Plenty of smart people have failed.

But have fun inadvertently supporting Musk!

Deep red states have long relied on wealthier, mostly blue states for hand outs. Without that flow of money many of those states would sink into underdeveloped status.

Edit: and if red states want to take a chainsaw to their own legs by turning off the money tap themselves, well have fun with that.

everyone where? Can you link the evidence or provide details so I can try to find it?

[–] robbinhood@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Musk's wealth isn't the best indicator of his intelligence. It's more circumstantial evidence at best.

"corporations with those who own them."

This veers towards been an non sequitur. The claim isn't that Musk is the corporation or that he is responsible for every decision. However, he is one of the (and probably THE) prominent voices in his companies and his decisions can massively impact the company's trajectory. One success is luck, multiple successes suggests there's a lot more than luck at play.

you're not getting into UPENN being a complete idiot. Whoever started the company, Musk oversaw periods of the growth in SpaceX, Tesla, Paypal etc.

Musk is (edit: not) the smartest person in the world like he thinks he is. But it's nearly an objective fact that he's not stupid.

This is such a dumb hill to die on, and more importantly it benefits Musk.

edit: and as for failed programs, welcome to the world of business. Google, Amazon, Microsoft Apple, etc. constantly launch ideas that don't pan out. Are their leaders and engineers and everyone else dumb because a project failed?

I never really looked into the guy tbh. Pretty sure I saw the wife release some statement about how shocked and sad she was and that was as deep as I got.

Didn't realize he was estranged with his family. Not surprised to hear that tho because yeah a lot of these guys psychos/sociopaths
