  • Flashback and Ultima VIII

    Both games were inspired works of art with unbelievably frustrating mechanics, often involving jumping onto moving platforms. I think I actually broke a keyboard playing Flashback. And yet I kept playing.

    Back then, if you had a game, you finished it, even if it made you cry. Because you didn’t have anything else.





  • minus the alleged hydrogen-compatibility

    From what I read a while ago, the idea to build gas power plants that could - in theory - burn hydrogen came with its own set of problems. Apparently, no such power plants currently exist, and because the temperatures generated when buring hydrogen are apparently much higher, the tech needs to be much more robust and that means it would have been excessivly more expensive.

    That, and of course there is still no answer where all the hydrogen is supposed to come from.


  • But reading and learning from a library, then writing and selling your own book based on that is NOT stealing.

    It could be argued that these AIs are not actually learning but collecting and rearranging. That’s still stealing in my book, especially if it happens on a massive industrial scale and by a megacorp instead of a person.
