Do people associate the car with Nikola? I’ve never really conflated the two, though the bitter irony of the modern day Edison abusing the name is not lost on me.

This isn’t TACO, it’s graft.

Stumbles ass first into giving creative control of their property to one of the most devoted and talented studios of the decade, leading to a wildly successful and popular game.
“That’s great! Let’s give it to someone else!” - some stupid ass exec who can only see ahead one financial quarter at a time.

Lol, the cognitive dissonance of whining about capitalism because their vidya game got a little more expensive. Not only is the entitlement and hypocrisy off the charts, there are so many ways to play games for cheap and/or free, the criticism is entirely moot. Don’t like the price a company is asking for for an entirely optional commodity? Don’t fucking pay it. It’s not that hard.

Luis von Ahn says criticism over strategy change shows ‘anxiety’ about technology replacing jobs
Motherfucker, you’re the one that fired slews of employees to be replaced by text-prediction algorithms. It’s not “anxiety”, you’re fucking doing it.
- Comment on Instance freezing as an alternative to full shut down 2 weeks ago:
All of those comments and posts will remain on instances they have federated to. Transferring posting history would necessitate resubmitting every single post you’ve ever made, needlessly and messily duplicating one user’s presence across the fediverse. And in the case of a closing instance, that bulk is multiple several hundred or thousand times over. Not a reasonable request by any stretch.

Eh, it’s just redefining the assumed meaning. “Intangible” does mean “unstoppable” in a way, but that’s not really what’s intended.

- Comment on Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! 3 months ago:
I get that. The whole game is intentionally bleak and rough, which can be pretty off putting (though it does make the few nice parts exceptionally nice). The devs made a pretty heavy handed choice to focus more on being confrontational art rather than being particularly accommodating to the player.
- Comment on Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! 3 months ago:
That’s not an inaccurate description. Though context is important - most of the characters know yours through behavior and actions that neither you or the character remember. A lot of the game is playing with how you handle that.

- Comment on GitHub - LadybirdBrowser/ladybird: Truly independent web browser 3 months ago:
It’s pretty telling to focus on the dev’s right to reject inclusivity while simultaneously rejecting and deriding everyone else’s right to judge them for that.
And if it was such a useless change, why didn’t the dev reject it for that instead of saying it was “political”? He’s the one that declared the word itself, not the utility of the change, was the problem. Calling everyone else “trolls” for pointing that out is just disingenuous.

They refused to use the right pronoun. One is a mistake. The other is a choice.

It’s almost like they were responding to the other bullshit claim you made.
And your attempt to misdirect is just pathetifc. Do you think people can’t read what you yourself wrote one comment above?

Probably, but it hasn’t been on the table yet. Saying that it was is just going to hurt valid criticism.
- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 4 months ago:
To be clear, that was not a thing. Just the PSN account doesn’t require payment. The subscription is for playing in MP and (I think) access to online media like yt.
