In short, it was one of the most spectacular disasters in the history of music festivals. The advertising showed that even the cheapest tickets would get some fancy rooms. Sold out quickly, but all the money was nowhere near enough to even pay for the stage + performers. The island didn't have housing and they "improvised" some tents for the attendees (they used relief tents like those you see in displaced populations). No food, no water, no bathrooms.
Just yesterday I saw a post on lemmy that said that turkish xitter users were migrating to bluesky. Didn't bother opening to see the comments or read it. Seeing this now, all I can think is "well, what did they expect?"
I've heard people complain a lot about its resource usage on the server side, that the advantages of it running on elixir are moot unless the instance has over 1k people. The web UI leaves a lot to be desired, true, but at least it's not such a client-side resource hog/browser crasher as misskey/sharkey
There's quite a discussion about that further elsewhere in this thread. To me, the combination of vector-like thick lines with that background color, the characters having such mute expressions and there not being one actual optimist.
Others also pointed to the "weirdness" that is the lines of the characters' arms becoming part of the table, which I didn't notice at first.
Perhaps more importantly, it does not look like the "author" has "zero drawing skill", but actually knows how to make vector art, even if relatively simple. That makes the problems more glaring
But it's totally legit brah, it's just like trading cards but on a computer bro, you can make jay pegs totally unique bro, nobody else in the world can have the same image as you brah, it proves you're the only owner of it bro, trust me bro it's super secure and technological bruh
PS: i doubt anyone here would honestly say "damn, that's beyond my skill", which goes to show that "not everyone can draw" is a bullshit argument for using AI to make comics
It was decent and has its moments, but it only works because starfield is a universe where phones with cameras and the internet don't exist, and instant communication only exists when the plot remembers it's not Fallout, which is not often. Secret military research? Believable. Said research getting out of hand and destroying a whole colony? Believable. Nobody giving a single flying fuck to said colony outside the questline? Weird. Not a single mention of repression and censorship about the event? Even weirder. Then again, after the terrormorph attacks New Atlantis, nobody gives a fuck (because cameras and phones don't exist, nobody is asking about relatives or friends that are missing), not even the "TV Station". After the damage is removed from the city, instant amnesia hits everyone.
I've had a few opportunities to play Red Alert 2 with my dad. He always obliterated me, I was too much of a turtle player.
There was one time I won against him, but it was pretty obvious to my 14yo ass that he let me. I asked and he just smiled.
I should probably challenge him sometime nowadays
