I have.

But Redout isn’t big enough to bring a lot new AG players in.

This, by virtue of having a budget behind it, and hence marketing, will.

And that’s the kind of thing that keeps the genre alive. BNG is fantastic, but it’s mostly being enjoyed by people who got into the genre through WipEout.

You can nest spaces.

A space is just a group of channels. So to get groups of channels inside the space, you just create “spaces” inside the space.

This is how my discord servers show up in my matrix accounts since I use discord via a bridge.

Neat!

I literally don’t care that it’s star wars.

I’m just happy to see AG racing still be alive.

WipEout and F-Zero are gone, seemingly never to return.

But there are no hacks required to install it on old hardware.

Yes there are.

If you used rufus or ventoy, you’ve just applied them without knowing.

Unmodified Windows 11 ISOs will refuse to install on any hardware with a CPU older than Ryzen 3000 or Intel 8000.

In fact there are less hacks required to install / upgrade to windows 11 then there are to install any Linux distro.

What?

On the vast majority of systems, the vast majority of linux distros will install and run with zero “hacks” of any kind. Literally just boot the ISO as-is and have at it.

genuine copy of windows will receive all and any updates

No. On many machines, while windows will install just fine due to the modifications to the installer applied by rufus/ventoy, the yearly major version updates can fail catastrophically.

A lot of hardware will update without issue, but there ABSOLUTELY is risk.

Windows is just an os. As long as it is compiled for the correct CPU architecture, it is just as supported as any other hardware. The hardware is supported by individual drivers, normally provided by the hardware manufacturer, not Microsoft.

You are confusing functional, and supported.

Something can “technically still work” without being officially supported.

Not being supported means Microsoft can make breaking changes in updates, because they made no promises your hardware would be accounted for in the future.

Just because it works today, no longer means it will tomorrow.

The only way I see John Wick working as a game, is if they do something like Sifu.

Screen Burn, had to look it up because they were formerly “No Code”, devs of Stories Untold and Observation.

That’s not quite right. Our sun has never gone nova, and is a fairly young main sequence star. It’s still in the first “main sequence” of fusion after accumulating from scattered matter. It’s heavy enough to do fusion, but not heavy enough to really “properly” go boom at the end (or to have done so in the past).

While novas form heavy elements, the originating star either becomes a neutron star or black hole. Sol, our sun, is a a “normal” star (though above average brightness) which means it won’t properly go nova. It’ll just “burn out” and become a white dwarf.

The matter ejected by a Nova flies out into the universe and falls in the gravity wells of other Solar systems. So our heavy elements likely hail from millions of other past stars.

Nnooooo

They were already building lasting value.

By just making good artistically meaningful games.

Cool.

The restrictions won’t change what little I use it for, but it might piss off some of my friends who are deep in the discord rabbit hole.

Wasn’t Denuvo cracked for this game already? The hell is the point of having ANY drm at that point?

Wut?

Alchemist and Battlemage cards were fine.

Edit: oh no. It’s a pivot to AI compute 🤦‍♂️

Why does, not taxing moving money end public funding

Because eventually everyone is below the “wealth cap”. Which means no-one pays any further tax. Why would anyone accrue more wealth at that point?

Okay, it can be 2%, and this is enough.

If we’re taxing all transactions, then yes, sounds about right.

Because when the government owns everything, that means the people in government become rich.

Are you suggesting we privatize everything?

Wealth control means giving them the wealth, and not owning by the government.

Ok, but how do decisions get made then?

Government are systems. Just because you change the structure, doesn’t make it not a government. It sounds like you want better government, not “no government”.

Which I agree with.

The fuck do you mean by “wealth control”?

Are you referring to UBI?

It sounds like what youre sctually arguing for, is an asset cap. Where any property above a certain cap goes to the government.

If the cap is 10M, how do we fund UBI, infrastructure and emergency services once everyone is below that cap?

Current economies are powered by the movement of money. So we tax the movement of money. No-one gets anything without spending their assets in some way, including the rich.

You are suggesting that taxes would somehow work better, if we taxed value that was sitting still. Which isn’t entirely false, but you are also claiming that taxation of moving money should be ended entirely. Which simply won’t work. That would eventually lead to the end of public funding.

You cant fix loopholes without taxing all billionaires until none exists, because they will constantly bribe government. Even if you fixed loopholes, they will create intentionally.

Exactly. How is your proposal a solution?

Of course assets have value. But to tax them fairly, that value needs to be defined! Impartially, too boot! And can you imagine the governmental overhead of constantly defining the values of shifting assets for tax purposes, regardless whether they are being bought or sold?

Your suggestion is as exploitable as the current system. Maybe worse!

They are already doing this. 'Spending faster than they earn"

Yea. I said that.

as many “milllionares” do

you are still thinking like income tax

What do you mean by income tax? Because clearly you aren’t understanding what I mean.

I mean ALL income. Of any kind. No loopholes. The problem isn’t conceptual. It’s practical. The law hasn’t kept up with the bookkeeping shenanigans the rich get up to. In fact, the rich actively influence current legislation to their benefit.

You’re arguing for a complete conceptual shift for no reason, when the actual problem is corruption.

What’s really needed, is just look at how the rich are avoiding taxation, and closing the legal loopholes they use. Which your “wealth tax” won’t do. Especially as “wealth” doesn’t actually have a value until it’s bought or sold.

And would a “wealth” tax not have an inherent loophole in that the “rich” could avoid paying tax by simply spending faster than they earn, or even staying in debt, as many “milllionares” do?

And would it not punish poor people who try to save up, by taxing them more the more they save up?

Would it not make renting vs owning even more of a problem? Poor people would be encouraged to rent as much as possible in order to have as little “wealth” as possible? While the rich could continue to charge whatever they want to cover the costs.

That doesn’t answer my question.

A workers salary ≠ Income

It’s one form of it.

Stocks are income. Inheritance is income. Land appreciation is income. If you give me 50 bucks as a gift, that’s income.

How is your conceptual wealth tax, not just the same as what income tax should already be?

The problems you list are all loopholes in the applicable laws, not income tax as a concept.

You get me?

What is the difference between income tax and your “wealth” tax?

Is it not just the exact same thing, but applied at a different point in the process?

If you’re about to answer that wealth can increase in value without income… That’s still income. Which a lot of countries do tax when someone goes to liquidate an asset that has appreciated in value.

Looks at numbers.

Subtracts money being spent, from money being earned.

Huh.

Are you sure?
