Sanchez’s List

It's just like what happened when Reagan's phone call recordings leaked proving he called Africans at the UN "monkeys." The ghouls all say the quiet part out loud somewhere... The "somewhere" just evolves over time from letters, to phone calls, to texts and encrypted chat logs.

Thermian. One of the all-time greatest gags we lose in the streaming era.

It's pretty great. Basically feels like Vampire Survivors 64.

I had a mission where enemies like bot turret towers were literally invincible.

• They still don’t have it so that drop ships get taken out properly when they go down. They like “teleport away” momentarily and then slide back into place and fall out of the sky.
• The mines only sometimes buzz.
• Constant “lost network connection” whether it is actual network problems or the host just dropped off.
• Models still don’t stay loaded for armor/warbond/weapon browsing.
• Laughing emote is silent on ships (but worked properly for a couple updates ago).

I feel like "veterans who lack citizenship" is kind of an oxymoronic phrase... like a "non-alcoholic bourbon."

More like B-4 from the end of Nemesis

When a company is using AI in place of a person, it's not a sign of that they are "futuristic" or "forward-thinking..." It's a sign they are cheap, chase fads, and make short-sighted decisions that are not designed to improve their relationship with their customer.

Anyone using some headless white-label monthly subscription version of ChatGPT in an attempt to save a nickel on their bottom line - even if it means making everything worse for the company, product, employees, and customers in every way possible - is probably someone you don't want to do ANY kind of business with - whether you're a contractor, customer, or client.

The democratization of technology is a double-edged sword.

For every improvement in UX and lowering of a once impassible barrier of entry, we seem to inevitably gain a massive number of “eXpErTs” who can suddenly stand upon the now much lower skill floor.

Shortly thereafter seems to be a destruction of the general reliability of whatever field these “eXpErTs” flood - usually a field which used to be inherently cryptic and had complex prerequisites just to begin operation within, let alone master.

Like… it makes me almost miss when “using a computer” meant you had to understand how to browse a directory in DOS…

Because at least then you literally couldn’t begin to operate in the field unless you could wrap your head around understanding the basics of syntax.

Now you can just have an entire legion of dullards misspell or misspeak 30% of a malformed question to some random free LLM that still has trouble telling you “how many Rs are in the word strawberry,” and have it confidently fart back out a wrong answer that they will then copy-paste into a paper or article which will then be added to the pile of growing misinformation currently stuffing a frighteningly expanding part of our collective knowledge base.

Except FOSS. Because if you can fork it, it cannot be enshittified… every time they attempt to, another fork can be made.

Maybe I should start like a service where we get someone like a dedicated “agent” who has their assets hidden to buy tickets for you for a small fee… and then transfer them… like an agency… for travel…

WAIT a second 😱!

True that no matter what - Phil IS a CEO, which means he's not a good dude... but I guess I just look at it as shades of gray.

I think Microsoft decided it doesn't want to do ANY kind of hardware, because of how poorly they did both in the X era, and in international markets like Japan...

And like you said - if Xbox becomes a brand rather than an actual piece of hardware, then there's no reason to buy an Xbox. I had a 360 starting right before Halo 3 came out in 2007, but with every single one of their games being fully multi-platform with ZERO exclusives I never had a reason to get any of their systems after my original Elite.
