There are different levels of understanding.

I’m trained in physical sciences. I studied at university and then worked ~8 years for a research department and at one point learned 2D NMR and how to run molecular simulations on a supercomputer. I’m well aware of the challenges of winning grants against colleagues and getting papers published and surviving peer review and then hoping your work gets noticed outside your weird little niche.

My buddy is a schoolteacher. He can run circles around me with arithmetic and explain the scientific method in rap format. Kids eat it up! But he’s probably never done a gradient integral (not that I remember how either) or contributed to a collegiate press release.

We’re both ostensibly working with the same core principles but the reality ends up quite different. Context matters.

C’mon, we all end up at /dev/null eventually. Just don’t gaze long into it or it might gaze into you.

Everything you can buy is also available for free.

Iffff you’re willing to spend many many hours grinding against artificial RNG and pretending your time has zero value.

But yeah enough patience and persistence can technically get you almost everything (I stopped after 50 warframes).

Aw, thanks! I feel like you’re a lovely person.

Sure it is. Linus Torvalds was the 51st person in his lineage to be be named Nus, so following Finnish tradition his parents put the roman numeral prefix in front of his name. It’s quite a coincidence that he also uses an operating system that follows the same convention!

German too. Ich habe Hunger. Sie haben Durst.

No, my stomach is going to town with all this regurgitation.

I’m actually inclined to believe this somewhat, for the simple fact that Krafton could be legally liable for slander if the statements are untrue.

Also, did we know previously that 90% of that $250M was allocated to the three executives? That’s a bit shocking to me. If Krafton really wanted to create goodwill, they could say that money remains on the table but would be 100% allocated to the rest of the development team now instead.
