Dark Arc

I do not understand why companies are choosing to make their own streaming services when they are just money pits that provide minimal benefit.

Because everyone thought they could save money by doing it themselves. It’s rarely that easy.

They’ve delivered plenty if you’re paying attention. They’d deliver more if they had the votes in Congress.

I’ll save you a read… A developer that worked on the game for a while but left the studio thinks they could’ve made the game with fewer loading screens even in their engine. That’s pretty much it.

I don’t know why your saying “okay what’s their platform?” I’m criticizing Trump’s shitty ones. If you legit didn’t know, there were platform documents for the Democrats in both election cycles… there they are. Kamala’s campaign itself did not really make much of a platform… It was mostly housing assistance IIRC.

Yeah, but they’re way better at marketing that they’re good for the economy. This election was lost (I’m convinced anyways) on the grounds that too many people thought Trump would be good for the economy.

I really want us to stop throwing the same candidates back at the wall over and over.

I do think Harris got the short end of the stick, elections intentionally show a significant “we’ll take the other guy” vote (regardless of who the other guy is). I wish the people voting paid a bit more attention to who “the other guy” is and what they’re actually proposing.

I don’t have nearly this distaste for the party’s platform that you do; I actually really like it … we just need to get enough people in office that they can actually legislate without having to caucus with Republicans or on the edge Democrats.

Honestly though, I think Sanders or AOC would get obliterated. They’re beloved by progressives but this country is just not a country of progressives. I think the last election showed undeniably that the economy rules when it comes to US elections.

Yeah we also just REALLY need to protect every game company at this point because Tencent seemingly has infinite pockets and China sure isn’t upset about that.

I’m opposed to the idea, we’ve got enough people that think their ideas need to be broadcast to everyone in the world.

I blame Sundar… Wayyy too many duplicated projects (e.g. Allo) and projects terminated too early (e.g., Stadia) under him.
