God it's so fucking funny because it might even have worked a little bit, if Zucker didn't go on Joe Rogan and start all out pandering to MAGA culture war chuds.
He is so detached from reality, he has no fucking clue what's going on. He saw Trump win and he thought homophobia and transphobia are back on the table, when the average normal person does not give a shit about LGBTQ+ people, they just to afford the basic necessities of living, and out of the downward spiral of status quo.
I'm a hobby dev that's used SpringRTS and Godot, my advice when starting out is to scale down as low as you can on your first project. I don't know how UE is for 2D, but think like, a pong clone or snake clone. Games usually involve teams of people, lots of them experienced and specialized in modeling or textures or rigging or shaders or scripts or animation.
Don't take a big bite that's going to have you learning a dozen new things at once. Just start with enough that your game can launch, receive inputs, and track score. Then try adding some more complicated rules, like power ups for snake, or different balls with different physics for pong.
Just getting simple things to work the way you want will give you the dopamine to continue. :)
Also I recommend git and gitlab for version control, that way you can play around and if something breaks you can revert to a working version.
They're using incarcerated slaves to fight the fires, in sure they're absolutely miserable that they can't use slavery to rebuild their McMansions too.
Bourgeoisie sowing: fuck yeah oil, foreign wars, cut social programs, maximize wealth at all costs to the rest of humanity
Bourgeoisie reaping: what the fuck is this, consequences of my actions after I destroyed the safety net, how fucking dare mother nature, I am the real victim here
Capitalism endgame: instead of artists working on passion projects, it's corporate slop directed by weird people in suits using soulless algorithms attempting to maximize profit margins.
Ah yes, nothing says "I'm genuinely concerned about the protection of human rights" like leveraging ableism and the social stigma of mental illness as a weapon against a total stranger.
It's like these ghouls can't help but out themselves.
OH MY GOD the sheer undeserved confidence is insane. He doesn't even have the basics of the game down but his head is so far stuck up his ass he thinks no one will notice.
His brain needs to be studied by science - here is how obscene wealth actually destroys your neural connections and literally rots your brain.
People missing the really obvious answer: Musk pays people to worship post about him, and can take direct control of those accounts when he wants (IE to defend himself in person on call).
I think it's important because for the average stream watcher, it's destroying the capitalist myth that wealthy people are somehow really smart and competent and earned their wealth. Musk is a trainwreck of a human who fell upwards. The more people who know that, the more willing they are to overthrow capitalist paradigms.
It's not impossible, but wait while I'm embarrass myself with how much I'm invested in this drama.
There have been so many weird slip ups, like that moment Adrian referred to Musk in the first person; instead of saying Elon Musk did this for you he said I did this for you.
Weird things like not being able to name 3 women; getting really flustered when Grimes and Vivian are named as women.
Weird things like Musk tweeting frequentlyexcept when Adrian is playing video games
It's possible that Adrian is a superfan to such an extent that it's made him sick in the head and he basically believes he is Elon Musk, and the tweeting timing is just a coincidence.
It's also possible that having obscene wealth like hundreds of billions of dollars makes you sick in the head, and makes you think you're the smartest person in the room when you're a spoiled rotten nepo baby whose Daddy owned emerald mine slaves in apartheid South Africa and you happened to invest your stolen wealth into the right places while stealing credit for the work of smarter people.
Call me a billionaire hating anti-capitalist, but Occam's Razor favors #2.
In all honesty, probably not nearly as much as you think. Democrats aren't exactly making any effort to pretend to be against genocide or neocolonialism. They make a tiny bit of lip service towards social progressivism, and considering that Republicans are explicitly pro-trans-genocide, that bar is so low it's currently sitting in hell.
It's all just theatre anyway. Policy doesn't matter anymore, both parties are subservient to venture capitalism, just donning different aesthetics to appeal to different groups. Like the GOP will don a white nationalist aesthetic, but they love immigrants as a source of exploitable labor. The DNC will adopt a pro-minority aesthetic, but they love sending rainbow painted bombs to kill brown kids overseas.
Her Mom was a state prosecutor, her Dad was a banker in the biotech business, and she grew up in a very wealthy region of Vancouver attending private schools, that's enough information to make a pretty well educated guess.
If you think about it, it's so silly, it's almost funny.
The more you think about it, the funnier it gets. We have a planet abundant in resources, we have basically limitless energy from the sun, we have everything we need as a species, and it's never enough. We can't stop consuming. The more someone has, the more they want, the ones among us who have the most are the most insatiable.
We are endlessly destructive aliens of consumption. We are the Tyranids, we are the Flood, we are the Replicators (Stargate not Star Trek).
It's actually a good thing for the universe that our species will probably die on this planet, if we ever eached a spacefaring stage we would wreck havoc on the galaxy.
It's not even like his particular life was so valuable; they didn't delay their investor meeting one minute and they had him replaced almost immediately.
It's about sending a message: poors shall not interfere with the capitalists and oligarchs.
She's fine with billionaires, so long as they are in solidarity with white people against minorities.
Turns out being white doesn't make you special and give you a seat at the bourgeoisie table.
