@JohnKir08660882 @ddebow but that isnt true, theres a reasson most tech firms even to this day are being founded in sv, not a insignificantly b/c engineers have tastes for food that becomes much more expensive outside there. I like curry its cheap in ca/seattle, its expensive in fl b/c its a niche market

@Puddi05 @GarrettArt yeah thats why I said thing, instead of mainline game.
English
@eathdemon @GarrettArt To be fair, the mainline Pokemon gap from Sword/Shield to Scarlet/Violet was about 3 years. Winds will likely take 4yrs+. That’s why interspersing side titles matters, it keeps the franchise active btwn major releases.
English
Thinking about this a lot as I play through the entire series. Many of the 8 & 16-bit games were only a year apart. Memory prices are nightmarish, NVIDIA has abandoned their core customers for a quick buck. Return to lower fidelity graphics. Release more games. TAKE MORE SWINGS.

Yoshi-P says it has become harder for younger people to engage with the Final Fantasy series because the release intervals for new titles have gotten longer! "I'm 53 now, and I've been playing since Final Fantasy 1 in real time. But for younger generations – people who grew up naturally accustomed to action-based combat and online competitive play – the recent entries in the series may have been harder to engage with. Part of that is simply because I'm sorry to say... the release intervals for new titles have gotten longer, so some players haven't really had the chance to connect with the series the way older fans did." gamesradar.com/games/final-fa…

@AstorAaron @THEjoevols @IVMiles thats so my stance, I dont think gambling should be ilegal, I just think being able to do it from a smartphone, or website is base. some friction is good.
English
@THEjoevols @IVMiles Possibly? I don't know. That's one reason I am skeptical about legal restrictions even though I think easy online sports gambling in generally bad for society. Then again, I'm that way about a lot of vices.

When I was a kid AOC’s position was right-coded, and it’s telling that the new Atlantic City version of the GOP has no interest in legislating on this.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@AOC
This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽♀️ Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

@DavidAFrench this is a prime example of why I refuse to acept calls for civility from conservatives. the same people upset about the way people acted towards kirk's death will be veri silent here, nothing but hypocrisy down the line.

Trump: “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
English
@Homobound @GarrettArt ff was once very big, it lost mindshare b/c it became longer between entries. mindshare matters you cant go 4 to 6 years between games and expect people to rember to buy them. also most of the people upset are mostly online. most buy pokemon, play it, call it a day.
English
@eathdemon @GarrettArt At the high risk of low quality, this is not a good trade off in terms of consumer’s happiness but I guess it is in sales but that’s also because it’s POKEMON. Final Fantasy just does not having that kind of selling power.
English
@GarrettArt not to try to get you in to another 1000+ hour franchise, but id be intreasted in seeing your opinion on the legond of hereos trails serries.
English
@eathdemon 💯 We all complain about the graphics. But that world is always trying something a little new and grabbing the new generation because there’s always a new entry.

@GenePark we will see how much of that sticks, but my take away from the revews is its "erojank" which means it will click for some, and others will roll of prity hard.

Well, one reason this happens is that people don't like being around other people with whom they have deep moral disagreements.

"roughly 90 percent of politically relevant social science articles leaned left 1960–2024" 1. The lack of viewpoint diversity affects the questions that are being asked. Conservatives who are scholars sometimes ask different questions than progressives who are scholars! 2. The lack of viewpoint diversity obviously affects the answers that are given to a given question. 3. There is no conspiracy: Human beings naturally give less scrutiny to answers that conform to their prior views. This natural human tendency reinforces (at least on the margin) the dominance of progressive views in peer-reviewed journals. 4. This is such an obvious and major problem that is of first-order relevance to the central mission of universities. It is astonishing to me that the dominant view of faculty at elite universities is that the absence of scholars with conservative views is either desirable or not a big deal.

@hamandcheese I mean it would be just deserts if you and the entire tech right loses their funding b/c you supported a crazy man for presedent. turns out a little regulation was in fact not the end of the world

I'm going to make some obvious points. (1) Blowing up all the oil infrastructure in the Middle East is an insane idea, and may well result in a global economic crash and humanitarian crisis unrivaled in the lives of those now living. We're talking about the price of everything everywhere rising, from food to gas, at a moment when inflation was already high. All of that will be laid at the feet of the authors of this war. (2) The antebellum status quo of Feb 27, 2026 was just not that bad, but we're unlikely to return to it. Expect indefinite, long-term, ongoing disruptions to everything out of the Middle East. (3) Also assume tech financing crashes for the indefinite future. The genius plan to get the Gulf states caught in the crossfire has incinerated much of the funding for LPs, for datacenters, and for IPOs. Anyone in tech who supported this war may soon learn the meaning of "force majeure" as funding gets yanked. (4) Many capital allocators will instead be allocating much further down Maslow's hierarchy of needs, towards useful basic things like food and energy. (5) It's fortunate that all those progressives yelled about the "climate crisis." Yes, their reasoning about timelines was wrong, and much of the money was wasted in graft, but the result was right: we all need energy independence from the Middle East, pronto. It's also fortunate that Elon and China autistically took climate seriously. Now they're going to need to ship a billion solar panels, electric vehicles, batteries, nuclear power plants, and the like to get everyone off oil, immediately. (6) It's not just an oil and gas problem, of course. It's also a fertilizer problem, and a chemical precursor problem. Maybe some new sources will come online at the new prices, but it takes time to dial stuff up, particularly at this scale, so shortages are almost a certainty. That said, China has actually scaled up coal-to-chemicals[a,c] (C2C), and there's also something more sci-fi called Power-to-X[b] which turns arbitrary power + water + air into hydrocarbons. But all of that will need to get accelerated. I have a background in chemical engineering so may start funding things in this area. (7) Ultimately, this war is going to result in tremendous blame for anyone associated with it. It's a no-win scenario to blow up this much infrastructure for so many people. Simply not worth it for whatever objective they thought they were going to attain. But unless you're actually in a position to stop the madness, the pragmatic thing to do is: scramble to mitigate the fallout to yourself, your business, and your people.

Electoral environment is going from bad to worse for Republicans in our polling — among enthusiastic voters, the generic is a tick above D+9 in our latest survey, which...that's catastrophic for Republicans.
