based keeping the lady's last name instead of using the husband's. She found a keeper.

It's even worse than him just saying "as long as I did my best". He's saying that the election is literally about him doing his best. I guess it's also just nonsensical mumbo jumbo that he probably didn't really think about anyways but still.

Pretty good to listen to even if you're not a movie person.

Red Hat gets money to develop Linux via RHEL support contracts with other companies. As far as I'm aware, very little government money is directly funding development of software in the US, and that's already missing the forest for the trees, since we're talking about the capitalist United States. It's a stretch to say that computers or open source software or whatever were actually developed in spite of capitalism. There's stuff like Germany's Sovereign Tech Fund that goes towards various open source things, but that funding is also from a capitalist government.

There is definitely a lot of computer science research that happens at universities, which private companies profit from greatly (same as with every other industry), and that's the whole point of that relationship. But again, it's still the US we're talking about. This is how the US works. You can't say, "computers were developed in a capitalist country, with approval of the capitalist ruling class, for the benefit of capitalists, but they're actually not good because of capitalism".

...which is mostly funded and developed by American companies.

That doesn't make any sense because all the computers we used today were developed via capitalism.

It's not that far off from the lich king angle they suggested on chapotraphouse.

Yeah I was wondering if I was just thinking of MGSV.

Something people don't bring up enough about the game is just how amazing the controls and animations and sound effects are. Everything just feels so perfect. There are so many games that mess up basic keyboard controls (although the director's cut doesn't let you bind vehicle controls to arrow keys 🤬). It's one of those games that's just nice to play because you don't have to constantly fight the controls or wait for tons of stupid animations to play (although there is some of that).

I was playing Elden Ring recently and both the keyboard and gamepad controls suck. Simultaneously overcomplicated and too simplistic. I don't know how you can mess up game controls so badly and still get so much praise for the end result. The game has two different overcomplicated "shortcut" systems for using secondary items and they both suck and are difficult to use. I feel like I spend half my time just fighting the controls. In Death Stranding, not only is the equipment system decent (ok it actually could be a lot better still, pretty clunky), but it also has some animations and nice sound effects and animated UI elements.
