I think this was an Orville episode, wasn't it?

Am I taking crazy pills? Except for 76, an MMO, Bethesdas record has been pretty good for single-player games, no?
I've played all of their games since Morrowind on Launch and always had a blast.
I could not disagree harder. Bethesda puts a ton of work into making their games as extensible as possible and I think that's not a deficiency at all.
This but like, unironically
I think it depends on the project. Some projects are the author's personal tools that they've put online in the off-chance it will be useful to others, not projects they are really trying to promote.
I don't think we should expect that authors of repos go too out of their way in those cases as the alternative would just be not to publish them at all.
Yeah, actually moderating an online space with even modest activity is fucking hard and takes a shitton of time.
I think a lot of people underestimate the effort involved and quickly lose interest once it becomes apparent.
I don't think a medical-focused Trek show would have to take place during war time. Medical Ethics in general is ripe for the sort of show Trek lends itself to.
That's a really interesting perspective I didn't think I've seen before. Thanks for posting.
This is mostly about normalizing "impeachment" so that Trump's two impeachments don't look as bad. This is a classic Republican tactic: when your guy gets caught doing "thing" start slinging "thing" around at your enemies until it loses all meaning.
Similar tactic to co-opting "fake news", "woke", "feminism", and "critical race theory". All were terms that threatened to undermine the conservative ideology, and so were quickly hurled around as insults until their original meaning was completely distorted.
Imo that's still not enough. Plenty of crashes or failures happen in a way where loading screen animations still keep playing. Having a cursor you can move around to validate that the process is still responsive is important feedback.
I also remember lots of games that did exactly what you are saying and there was no way to tell if it had hung during loading or not because you couldn't check if it was accepting feedback.
IMO if we ever get to a point that pulling information from the Internet is as simple as "remembering" it the same way we remember any other information, that could have both significant advantages over having to first read the data visually to ingest it, and terrifying potential to implant "facts" into someones mind.
