Based on that one boywonder's "please perform software miracles and give me a one line modification to our system's search", it's just a matter of time before a poorly reviewed/tested feature hits prod and brings everything to a grinding halt for a couple hours. That'll be the first sign poo poo's heading south. someone: here is my minified obfuscated one line of javascript that hides the login modal geohotz: ctrl c, ctrl v, git commit -am "DEAL WITH IT" && git push -f origin master someone: also it steals your bitcoins

Twitter is not going to die in the sense that it will go offline and stay offline for an extended period of time. Twitter is going to die because Elon sucks, his ideas are bad, and the content will get worse over time. It'll die in the same way myspace died - still online but no one cares.

First four books of the dark tower are examples of the great writer Stephen King could be. The last three books are examples of what he is instead.

HUH? I AM VERY SMART!" I bet if Twitter does become a paid app, it won't tell you that it is, and just bills your app store/google play store accounts. And it will be very hard to remove that sub, not only that but it will also continue if your account gets banned and now you cannot access the unsub option.

I read one stephen king book and the only detail I remember is that they get a hold of the villain's computer and his screensaver is a drawing of Mickey and Goofy fuckin, and the protagonists are real incredulous that Goofy's cock is drawn as big and black as it is. Also the villain was a cop or sheriff I think? I definitely felt like the lesson was "don't trust the police." anyways i haven't read a lot of stephen king but he's a good author

Because of the grand scale it doesn't convey very well just how bad and hosed up living in the imperium actually is

Because of the grand scale it doesn't convey very well just how bad and hosed up living in the imperium actually is Most in universe media is written from the perspective of a human perspective so that's part of it. But also, the imperium is largely written in a way where 90% of what they do makes no sense and it's contrasted against other races. The tyranids assimilate biomass, Eldar fight to maintain their species with the limited resources they have via very specific paths, Orks are just Like That. But why does the Mechanarium do most of what it does? Who knows? But it's not like you're going to get a Imperial guardsmen looking at an Genestealer and going "why can't we be like these noble creatures". Sometimes the Tau gets that, but that's about it.

Because of the grand scale it doesn't convey very well just how bad and hosed up living in the imperium actually is It helps to remember that when the 40k setting began in the late 1980s, it was depicted as being just as lovely and grimdark as the original Warhammer Fantasy setting (namely a setting where everything was hosed up, and there wasn't really any "good" side, as they were all just different types of evil and oppressive), made by guys who thoroughly loathed Thatcher's Britain and were more than happy to satirize aspects of it with 40k. Then, sometime in the late 1990s/early 2000s, and after some changes in management, the focus was shifted towards pushing their best-selling range, which just happened to be the Space Marine stuff, so for a good long while until just very recently--largely due to some more management changes--the evil and oppressive aspects of the Imperium were dialed back (in the "at least the trains run on time" manner that you mentioned) as the narrative began pushing "the Imperium is the last best hope for mankind and the galaxy" lore a lot harder. So it's no shock that we ended up with a lot of alt-right types being attracted to the game for those reasons (and why they're whining now that GW is starting to ratchet down the "The Imperium is a force for good, actually" perspective and upping diversity in having models that are designed/painted as POC and/or women, and not just big muscular white dudes).

All Warhammer stuff is pretty simple. The whole thing is just meant to be every miserable idea taken to absurd limits. There should be no real heroes, no hope, no compassion. Everyone should be an extremist arsehole unless they are the face of the common man being stamped on, and that guy should should think he deserves it.

CuddleCryptid posted:All the twitter mods are fired but apparently the word filter still catches phrases if your posting gets too threatening lmao. There's also a ludo-narrative disconnect. You can say the Imperium is a shithole that creates more problems than it solves all you want. But when  actually gives a Morale Save bonus to the remaining troops....well that's going to change how the setting is perceived.

Taeke posted:As much as I adore the genre, scifi attracts the worst people and it's no surprise that nft/crypto bros love the genre. You just gotta accept that 95% of the community is poo poo. The biggest authors are poo poo. Always have been. The Starship Troopers movie isn't poo poo because Verhoeven recognized the source material for what it was and turned it into a satire. Asimov was a sex creep. You can go on and on. If you look into every author, they are all sex pests.
