I looked at the links in the source and they’re Windows popups, not Chrome injections. Shitty reporting from the verge.

Maybe it’s because I hate ads in general, but I don’t see what makes this one different than the other vapid ads forced on me. Seems no worse than them, so I don’t understand the uproar. Ads are frequently stupid and follow popular trends; big deal. You could have Scorsese direct a commercial and I’d still think it’s stupid.

“If you were an F22 fighter jet in Doom Eternal, this time around we wanted you to feel like an Abrams tank.” […] ”You’re heavier, more powerful, and grounded,” he says. “We’re making strafing-to-aim a thing again. You’ll be weaving between projectiles, just like you did in the original Doom, to deliver that Super Shotgun blast to the chest… It almost creates this three-dimensional 'shoot ‘em up’ puzzle that you’re weaving your way through.”

Hell yes. I’m still going to be cautious with my hype but this sounds like what I want. I know many people liked the acrobatics of Eternal but it was not for me.

Real life Kerbal Space Program accident.

I’d say that’s okay if only the company is credited by name, but the execs names were included. If they’re including names, include all the names. It’s not a long list from what I saw on Twitter.

I had my first ever comment, in decades of forums/reddit usage, get mod deleted because I was critical of China and the USSR. It was a fairly mild criticism. That action turned me off the whole instance.

can we just please get some normal, boring, safe, efficient trains that actually function instead of this gizmo bullshit?

Can we just STFU about this mediocre ad already? You’re giving it more airtime and more mental bandwidth. I didn’t think it was worth one day of headlines much less two or three.

While I’m sure there is a crazy markup, it’s important to note the cost to produce - as in manufacture - does not include the cost of drug discovery, which is extremely expensive and involves a good amount of risk over a long period of time.

You can’t just compare the cost of discovering a new drug vs. cost of producing a generic without any research like that.

Native dark modes are better and have much less of a performance impact. It’s good as a stop gap though.
