What's the game mechanic for...what happens in the hours after everyone gets their new younger green tinted bodies?

I still chuckle at the fact that the Ayn Rand Foundation (why is this a thing?) took $3M in PPP loans in the US during the pandemic.

The OG Lexus, the LS400, had a recall soon after being introduced, under certain circumstances the accelerator could get stuck. Toyota did a voluntary recall, and then sent techs to every home of the 8000 that had been sold, provided a loaner car if needed, and then fixed the issue on the spot.

Right, you're letting them monetize that the plane isn't booked/overbooked. You're not denying anyone a seat, so what is the consumer benefit here? As full as aircraft (at least domestic US) run these days, my feeling is that KLM will be issuing a lot of elitist-seat-reserving refunds.

If we don't give him a $50 Bajillion benefits package, he will keep producing ideas like this. It's very much like those piano bars where you must pay the pianist to not play the song.

Reskeet with how old you are, using a vague proxy: I had to press Play on the tape recorder to load software.

No wonder the orcas are sinking boats. We are demonstrating to them, in no uncertain terms, that we do not deserve this planet.

Because it's cute, like an Analogue Pocket or a Playdate. Sure, those niche gaming handhelds have more features, better build quality, and a better raison d'etre than this...but it's sooooo cute!!!

It's IN SPAAAACE You're getting armor and guns, making a settlement (your ship) and fast traveling to bespoke points of interest. Morrowind -> Fallout 3 -> Skyrim -> Fallout 4 -> Starfield. It's not even an evolution of the Creation engine and mechanics from Fallout 4. Same thing, different theme.

It must be this in a large part. How many years did Bethesda titles ship with amazingly mind-numbing launch day bugs, yet still garner GOTYs, other awards, and 100% review scores? They internalized the idea that their shit didn't stink when it most certainly did.

Except that it wasn't. It was like taking a space game and pushing it through the sausage press of Bethesda's engine.

I am so much more invested in that space now. The indie scene feels so much more like what the overall industry was when I got into it circa 1990. It all feels so much more comfortable.

People of that era were much more aligned with moderation, too. I never got much pushback when I deleted awful posts from the Air Warrior forums on GEnie back in the day.

If I remember correctly he paid $300k to get it back, vs just changing the t-shirt on the animated ape in his pilot, right? I saw an excerpt of that pilot. It was beyond awful.

I've been to a number of Kum & Go (now Maverick) stations that have a few chargers. Here in Illinois we have a knock off Bucee's called Wally's and they just added a big section of chargers.

My 2017 Volt is good for this. Fully electric it has 60 miles of range. That's plenty for getting around town with only home charging. On gas it will do 300+ miles on a 9 gallon tank.

I'm concerned that Spock is using an analog manual E6B flight computer. He's not the pilot, E6Bs are for terrestrial use, and they're already anachronistic in the 21st century.
