How it has any upvotes when the domain name is RIGHT THERE is beyond me.

Technically you can “control” damage without necessarily reducing it…

It’s not meant to be a perfect example. It’s a comparable principle. Subverting the self-driving like that is more or less equivalent to any other means of attempting to kill someone with their car.

TL;DR: faking out a self-driving system is always going to be possible, and so is faking out humans. But doing so is basically attempted murder, which is why the existence of an exploit like this is not interesting or new. You could also cut the brake lines or rig a bomb to it.

Best I can do is a YouTube video with ads for dick pills.

Actually I remember when it was still “elite” and it meant you had access to the warez section of a BBS.

They might also have a much smaller launch signature, meaning harder response to a first-strike launch. But I’m not a physicist or nuclear deterrence expert or anything.

It certainly feels more deleted…

I’m not an expert, but wouldn’t proper deletion be writing random ones and zeroes to the block? Multiple times?

I mean if Star Control 2 wasn’t vastly superior in every way or you could just erase it from history, the game would have had some charm to it. But comparatively, it was a pretty tragic letdown.

The one good part that I still remember though was the quest where you had to retrieve a Daktaklakpak Data Pak. That tickled me since I’m a sucker for fun wordplay.

EVERYONE PLEEEEEASE BACK THIS!

First off, it’s a sequel (by the original creators) to a game that clearly helped inspire Mass Effect as well as some of the greatest game designers ever. Second, it’s being made without any of the modern live service, microtransaction, evil tricksy EULA manipulations, and other bullshit plagues of recent gaming. THIRD, the art and music are lovingly hand-crafted and build off of one of the most charming, memorable, and musically brilliant games of all time. AND FOURTH, ~i want an Xbox port~. We’re so close! Only $23k left!!!

Wait, so…

1. Lives in a shipping container
2. Obviously on drugs
3. Receives welfare from the government
4. Screams racist shit at strangers

Is… is Elon Musk a hobo?

Moral of the story: kids, be born rich and then you can live in a mansion and eat bath salts!

Arguably it’s not detrimental to the reputation of the game, but the company.

“Great game. Never buy it.”

100%. They went from understanding the perils of success to exemplifying the worst of it. Don’t be (caught being) evil.

All good! Community is a great show. Check it out.

I actually know that. It’s a reference to Community, which either inadvertently or otherwise acted like it’s not a real saying.

Google sabotaged Windows Phone to protect Android. They refused to serve even standard Google web apps to the WP browser, instead relegating users to years-old mobile versions that looked and worked terribly. You could literally edit the user string on the Windows browser and get the modern, perfectly functional version. Then there was the constant YouTube fuckery where Google wouldn’t make a YouTube app for them, then wouldn’t let them make their own app either. The entire point was to starve the system to kill it in the cradle and on some level, it probably worked.

Looking at the fact that Google is under intense anticompetitive scrutiny now and has been egregiously destroying evidence every chance they get shows that this isn’t out of character for them.

Stop trying to coin the phrase “streets ahead”.
