No, not really. One of the great america propagandizing myths is that protests are effective. They're not, they can easily be ignored. What does work is organized strikes and planned disruptions of key targets with protests.

In certain forms, or in conjunction with other forms of activism it can still work. For example tree sit ins to prevent logging.

Occupy wall street, BLM, the protests when Row v Wade were overturned all largely accomplished nothing on their own.

Of course, then you could see how few titles they actually have.

I don't think this has aged like milk yet

Aoc's take was a strategic and pragmatic one, and she hasn't been definitively proven wrong yet. Harris appears to be the current frontrunner for the convention, but that seems to be based on donations? The delegates could still pick whoever they want.

I do think she will be the democratic nominee, but if she loses in November, Aoc's comment would have been accurate.

Enough money to buy Activision-Blizzard and Bethesda, but not enough to actually pay for developers or marketing.

Most people have pretty decent ai hardware already in the form of a gpu.

Sure dedicated hardware might be more efficient for mobile devices, but that's already done better in the cloud.

At my local theatre the nice seats are $18 and the slightly cheaper normal seats are $15. That's including fees for times outside of working hours.

A theatre outing for me and my wife costs more than a 4k uhd bluray for the movies we watch.

That's not even including food, which if we go to a theatre we usually bring to avoid the high food prices.

After upgrading to an oled TV theatres picture quality is just inferior. So now I really don't want to watch movies in theatres.

Sure the sounds is still better, but it's usually too loud for me, and lacks subtitles.

Add to that the ludicrous cost of theatre tickets and it's just not worth it.

Closest in the united States is a chevy bolt, but that's still pretty far.

I'd love a fairly dumb ev. Give me just enough computer for battery/charging management and let me do the rest.

Are you getting a black psu? It might not look great in that case, depending on how well you can hide it.

I got a white corsair rmx750 and it came with nice white cables too.

With no gpu, the cables will probably be well hidden, but add a gpu and the black cables will stand out.

It does raise a pretty big problem though.

How did it end up with no dark matter? We don't have a good answer usually.

A bunch of nobodies ran against biden, no serious contenders.

Imo coop is more similar to a single player game that you can play with other people. Baldurs gate is a rpg that you happen to be able to play with other people.

Another example would be deadspace 3.

Most PvE games on the other hand are not primarily story driven. Helldivers, deep rock galactic and such.

Something like left4dead covers both because its PvE but it also has a story.

Then games like palworld are more like survival MMOs. Coop in these games is more of an emergent gameplay, while in other coop games its essentially forced.

I don't like putting these games together because story driven coop games are pretty rare, but PvE games don't seem to be as rare.
