Twisted Metal is getting the Halo treatment with a "we pulled the sets and costumes out of a cancelled CW show", so now would be the time to reboot the underdog battle car arena game.
343 cant make Halo cause Microsoft wants Halo The Product, not Halo The Game.
They dont want couches of happy people playing Blood Gulch, they want preorders and that "marketing moment" they got with Halo 2 and 3. They dont care about the franchise as a thing to be enjoyed, they only understand it as the thing that can be sold, and it shows.
343 devs have gone on record saying the rework of the core game and the stagnant development was due to MS saying "no, thats TOO Halo, you have to make the NEW THING." And thus we get clusterfuck stories, reworked weapons for no reason (seriously, ANOTHER new pistol and they get rid of the SHOTGUN?), ziplines pulled from Apex Legends and more out of game marketing collabs than in game content. Oh and a shit TV show that Neil Blomkamp shouldve gotten greenlit to make 10 fucking years ago.
Also the PC port of Infinite is trash. You cant give any player input without the frame rate going bananas. Stand still and I get 60 FPS, any motion its 5.

We are cattle to the elite's ad revenue system.
Ad revenue was the Pandora's Shit Box that has opened up the fall of capitalism. Can i just watch ads all day while i work my shit job instead so I can have a fucking life, Mr Corporation?
Impossible. You can only deter and mitigate risk. But war is in our nature. War is uniquely human because it requires at least one civilization to wage.
The only way to stop war on Earth is to convince everyone here to go to war somewhere else.
So my plan is to militarize the school systems, manual military or scientific service at 18, create a federated republic under an international parliament, nationalize systems and get away from "profit" in exchange for progress, and go to war with the unknown to find "God" or whatever. Everyone who cant/wont can get UBI and healthcare and education a plenty, create art to their hearts content and do the "culture" thing.
The classics like Super Metroid, Turtles In Time, F-Zero and Link to the Past are always on rotation but I always love to pop on Cybernator (aka Assault Suits Valken) for a good run and gun mech time. Time Trax is another one not mentioned often but is nostalgic for me.
If this guy changes the internet include me in the screenshot.
Bold of you to assume I am buying anything in this economy.
Headlines get more and more stupid everyday.
People live in houses: should we build them?
People struggling to live wont have babies: Is there a connection?
jfc can people just snap out of it? All of these issues are "no fucking shit" levels of dumbassery. Cut executive pay, confiscate and eliminate, feed and house the people, prosper, repeat. ITS REALLY THAT SIMPLE UNTIL SOMEONE STARTS SAYING "GOD". And then you tell them to stfu cause theyre ACTING LIKE BARBARIANS.
8 billion people and one planet and were all standing around with our thumbs up our asses wondering where the smell is coming from. You GOVERN the private sector cause thats what GOVERNment is for. If private interests step out of line and go corrupt you IMPRISON OR EXECUTE THEM. You embargo, sanction and confiscate their assets. Its the one thing China does right. The West needs to get with the fucking program and stop letting regular Janes and Joes get assfucked for the profits of like, 50 people.
The fact that I have to wait 5+ years for a damn apartment I can afford by myself, when Elon and these bozos can blow entire countries worth of money on bullshit for no reason other than to flex on us peasants, is infuriating. And them trying to say its for some greater altruistic good is a fucking lie, every time, like clockwork, its proven wrong.
If your bank account is nine digits long you should be PUT UP AGAINST THE WALL. Cause you dont get there by being anything else but a TRAITOR and a THIEF.
But no, lets all lick the boots that step on us! I love when website become unusable! I love living with tonnes of people I dont like, eating rice slop and 10 cent noodles everyday! I love not being able to get a valid education! Its so nice to see the same 10 dickholes enjoy THEIR dreams on Youtube after a sequence of 10 unskippable ads! I LOVE THE FUTURE. YA ITS SO FUN. I CANT WAIT TO BURN UP FROM CLIMATE CHANGE WHEN MY LANDLORD REFUSES TO INSTALL AC. THIS FUNERAL IS SPONSORED BY DOOR DASH!!!!
Fuck!
Imagine an encyclopedia.
Now imagine I own the encyclopedia, and Walmart offers me money.
So i paste Walmart's Xmas catalogue pages in between the useful information in the encyclopedia. You ask about frog facts, you get frog pajamas. You try to look up cultural information and get travel ticket prices. You never planned on purchasing anything, and you are too poor too anyway. But somehow I and Walmart make money off of your displeasure.
This is ad revenue. This is the modern economy. Its a sham. Its an infinite money go brrrttt machine for billionaires.
Enshitification.
Cowardly move.
Stop supporting human rights and start gambling! Great message for the next generation.

I started Enterprise begrudgingly as it was the last series I hadnt consumed yet. I got a few episodes in and thought "hey this aint that bad!"
One of the best Mirror arcs in the franchise IMO.
purely to confuse NASA scientists
Ah then it is simple: we place an ESA spacecraft there.
300 Pakistanis capsize, the world: "I sleep"
3 billionaires and a con man build world worst submarine and sink, the world: "Real shit."
Clown world.
Ive used Lubuntu on old machines in the age range OP is asking and its great. Turns a 2011 Macbook into a functional machine, had what felt like out-of-the-box performance.
That being said, the best performance gains from laptops can honestly just be a good cleaning. Cat hair and dust in machines that are hot day 1 can add up and send your CPU into "please help me" mode.
Most definitely. But all it takes is one visionary with one repository of a good idea to inspire a community.
The growing pains will hurt, but being open source alone gives me more confidence than I have in CEOs of competitors. Im still trying to figure out this whole "Federation" business with fediverse. If they can make it more digestible it will certainly eclipse the current lot.
So am I downloading ZIPs and running their files? Why? And many other questions are novice user may have.
Are you hacking my mainframe to steal my cloud?
