sadly unfunny

if you're gonna tell Mark Kern stories, just use the article: https://www.techinasia.com/firefall-mark-kern-sacked-the9-story

dude definitely got high on his own loving supply, squandered millions on marketing a product that he then failed to actually make

like, Diablo 2 and WoW were both incredibly successful without any buses or youtube shows getting made, but no, for some reason this is how Firefall will succeed

the bus is honestly the least of his failings but it's also the most evident and demonstrable one, those two photos tell an entire story by themselves

EDIT: I have no idea what he worked on besides WoW, and it doesn't matter either. Blizzard ain't build no loving bus

This is, somehow, more embarassing for mark kern than the Mega64 thing.

Also the FireBus was supposed to be a "Mobile Esports Arena", not a mere bus that you could demo firefall on.

yeah i agree. though i still think (although it's optimistic) that they're in the same phase that the ultra-leftists were in the 1970s as the new deal era ripped itself apart, which doesn't bode well for their political future. trump kinda departs from neoliberalism in some ways (in the means) but not the ends, and the trump project is really about resorting to more extreme measures to try and salvage it. his means are nationalist, protectionist, etc. but his ends are neoliberal. the project is to use these measures to force other countries into opening up their markets for american companies more than they already have.

but yeah. the white nationalists can't get what they want through the normal political process so they resort to terror. a lot of what they're worried about in terms of demographic shifts and so on is already baked into the cake i think. they're trying to use their "will" to overcome it but this is *spouts a bunch of marxist jargon* a force of history

oh but i think the thing to really watch out for is a coordinated group of neo-nazis trying to pull off a 9/11-style attack
