remember this for every AI headline you read

but also keep this one in mind, too

The metaverse economy offers the potential of a wide range of revenue streams, with some estimates predicting it could become an $800 billion-dollar market in just two years and that it could contribute $3 trillion dollars to the global economy in the next decade.

Good comeback to being fundamentally destroyed and having nothing to refute it with.

Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again

Who needs textures in Doom maps anyway? You can do a lot more with less.

A screenshot from Doom 2, of a map in progress.
All of the textures are flat colours, mostly yellow, brown, and orange on a starry sky and black ground. The scene is reminiscent of a pyramid or a temple hiding among the natural rocks and dunes.

A screenshot of a Doom 2 Megawad DIY, MAP06: Not Very Cash Money, by me.
Doomguy smiles as he stands on large stacks of large banknotes leading towards a colourful table with an odd roulette-like structure in the middle.

Harris tried it your way and lost. Why do you insist on continuing a losing strategy?

Why didn't the dems just stop being complicit in a genocide if it was going to decide the election? Seems very irresponsible of them, the people actually in charge, no? Why be complicit in a genocide anyway, even if voters didn't care? Are they evil? Why vote for an evil party?
