There is no honor amongst thieves. They’ll cooperate with each other as enemies of my enemies until they suddenly aren’t getting what they want, then it’s ‘No True Republican’ with them.
Shitty Executive: “Oh shit, our terrible idea turned out to be wildly unpopular and we’re getting massive negative feedback! Quick, play the death threats card to make us look like the victim!”
That’s because SNW is traditional episodic Star Trek whereas Discovery and Picard are serialized series. Serialized series need to constantly escalate the tension and threats so you tend to get super serious action drama. Meanwhile, episodic series can get away with doing stuff like “how would the crew react to the entire ship turning pink?”
They both have their place in television, but Star Trek better lends itself to episodic format where you can have breaks to reset the tension.
Elon Musk is a privileged manchild who never grew out of his teenager phase, throwing around his inherited wealth like the kid from Blank Check and throwing temper tantrums anytime someone calls him out on his bullshit. Any claims to success he may have had been entirely in spite of him, not because of him. He doesn’t have any fucking idea what he’s doing and if any one of you or I failed even a fraction as much as Musk had, we’d have all been fired ten times over.
Everyone really needs to start jeering these people in every public space. On the streets, in stores, in restaurants, etc. Give them no peace while in public.
I like having both unlockable extra fighters (a reward for your dedication to the game) AND having post-launch roster expansions.
For me the problem with the latter comes with highly aggressive monetization practices. Give me a fighters pack with multiple new fighters and alternate costumes at a reasonable price and that feels like adding value to the product (example: SSBU). Price me out at expensive single fighters and single costumes and you can go fuck right off. Battle Passes and FOMO can likewise fuck right off. Anything that requires me to work to unlock something I paid for (in this genre) should be included in the base game as a reward.
And Gen X’ers TBH.
Millennials are hitting 40+ now.
