It's as if the person read a parable about the Hindenburg disaster and took from it the idea that hydrogen should be the only gas used for balloons.

Is it the early access games, or is it just Chris Roberts' history of being deceptive?

I mean, if SQ42 is truly close to being released, if it requires a last push, shouldn't all employees continue to work on the project? Usually the final stages of a project require more work, not less.

Why would you suddenly "prioritize porting features from SQ42 to SC" if releasing SQ42 is a goal?

"(On SQ42) ...but our plan is to be feature and content complete by the end of 2019, with the first 6 months of 2020 for Alpha ... and then Beta." - Chris Roberts, 2018

Apparently the order of operations is reversed for Chris Roberts in that both "feature complete" and "content complete" come before both "alpha" and "beta".

There might even be a "delta" and "gamma" - you never know when it comes to this man and the absolute slipperiness he employs with the English language.

I imagine all of these powers come as the worst possible implementation like a cursed rabbit's foot.

Like free gravel for life: you don't conjure it out of thin air at will, no, it's magically mailed to you once a day in small quality and you have to remove it from your mailbox or it'll fill it up.

I've heard a great aphorism about this topic in that the national religion of Japan is "being Japanese".

Copeland told 1819 News, which published the report on his 62nd birthday, that his online alter ego was a harmless “hobby” that did not go beyond his home.

Wow, thank you for sharing your experience.

How are you not higher voted. People on Lemmy complain about not having longform content that offers a unique perspective like on early Reddit, but you've written exactly that.

I personally have not seen very many Lemmy posts return on Google searches, if at all. It's not apparent whether or not they are indexed at all, and I would imagine that's a big vector for new user engagement.

Wow, is that last point true? I guess I misunderstood how federation worked big time. I thought by subscribing to something like "news", I was supposed to receive all posts and comments to those posts from all whitelisted instances like some kind of syndication. Is that not actually how it works?
