No, researchers are compensating for the expenses. Its okay if the business fails and they give up the lease. That's the experiment.

As someone who waited 6 months for their Framework 13 pre-order batch to ship, let me tell you, there are drawbacks to that system as well!

Linus: Now, I want to give Linux the fairest chance possible - That's why I'm going to fresh install it blind during a 10,000 person LAN party, in the worst networking nightmare scenario possible

Okay, here is what I believe:

I believe landing on the moon and a live video broadcast from the moon are two extremely different things.

I think they did have actors on a soundstage pantomime to the live audio being piped from the moon. Just cuts down on so many variables, and the stakes were too high for the broadcast to be a technical disaster.

I think that even despite that, the moon landing is still one of the greatest achievements of humanity.

Yes! You could even download Godot from the steam store for free and it will always be kept updated to the latest version. Same for Blender!

My very armchair general-ish educated guess:

If they have an HE round loaded, a shot might damage or activate the shell's very sensitive front facing fuse, causing it to immediately explode and also cause any other readied shells near the loader to explode, virtually guaranteeing the tank crew's death.

Other shell types, they have thick and inert ballistic cap that is propelled with enough velocity to shred armor. Basically an oversized bullet themselves. A pistol round would not go through the ballistic cap, only crumple and deform it. But there may be a chance it would make the shell misfire and damage the barrel when the tank crew attempts to fire.

Odds are if you are dirt poor Republican you are much more likely to be shuffled into a sweatshop to sew socks than take advantage of anything that's going on here.

Cheap socks imported from China are 148% more expensive, you're still nowhere near having the capital to own a single thing in your life, the rich are only going to get richer, and those socks ain't going to make themselves

Hey now! Ubisoft is still enabling your desire to become a pirate! Just ... In a different way than they wanted.

Hahah, so him personally bailing out Twitter with a cash infusion would kill Tesla in the process?

What a world.

Look, it all looked great on paper years ago when Zenimax Media gave them an evaluation report on the company that was so overvalued it was lawsuit-worthy.

No take backs!

And you know what? That would be fine.

If they market it as a side experiment, a AA game, priced at $40.

But no, they marketed it as Star Citizen 2.

Reason #150 on why Fallout New Vegas is the best Fallout:

Bethesda despises it so much that it'll never get an update, remaster, or get repacked into an anniversary edition.

No Todds, No Masters

My hopes for DLC (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by deeves@lemmy.world to c/baldurs_gate_3@lemmy.world

So with the success of Baldur's Gate 3 DLC is pretty much inevitable. Here is my unsolicited fantasy scenario for what that would look like 🙏

Spring, summer, and fall:

An origins pack that would have one pre-made character and one custom character origin like The Dark Urge. The premade would have a new meaty questline and can double as a new companion when not selected of course, and even if you don't buy the DLC the base game's map will still have new locations related to those questlines added with a free update. And there would be a slew of new cosmetics for character creation themed around the new custom character origin.

Suggested retail price: $9.99.

November - December:

A big ol' 30-hour-long proper expansion with the same quality as Witcher 3: Blood and Wine.

Suggested retail price: $24.99.

18 new origins and three expansions or bust!
