Didn't an Uber-for-buses startup thing get smacked down because they refused to make the buses wheelchair accessible?

I hope you don't have to be following the development of Shroud of the Avatar to get a chuckle out of a CEO having very serious discussions with the press while dressed like a lunatic. https://twitter.com/DavidSwofford/status/974067020592570368

Richard Garriott is a weird dude. Like, for most CEOs doing promotional cosplay would be a grudging exercise, but a circlet and doublet is the sort of thing Garriott would happily wear to a light business luncheon.

Thats one of his daily outfits. Theres a video where he talks about Ultima Online's ecosystem mechanics, which was supposed to simulate animals eating plants and predators eating those with marked changes in animal population if there was a shortage of any, and were absolutely destroyed at launch week by the players washing over it like the black plague, killing every animal in sight. So as part of a solution for this, and in response to an increasing playerbase, was to invent the idea of multiple game instances on seperate servers, which every MMO now does. Then they quietly canned it and spawned them regularly when they found out no one actually noticed. Anyways they show his house and he has a bigass taxdermy coyote head smoking pipe.

Richard Garriott literally lives in a castle last I checked and spent most of his money from his last failed MMO to go into space.

To be fair his MMO failed BECAUSE he went into space. NCSoft forged his signature on a bunch of stuff while he was up there, and hell unleashed when he was back.

The game failed well before he went into soace, it was DoA and Garriott's handling of it was why he was fired in the first place.

Count on NCsoft to self-own so badly they end up having to pay millions to their perfect scapegoat.

By the time that game was falling apart Garriott was already the poor man's Peter Molyneux. That said, I would totally gently caress-off into space too if I got that chance.

To put that in perspective, Harrison Schmitt was hired at the same time and he walked on the moon. Richard's dad Owen didn't get to fly on Apollo, but he did have a Skylab flight and a shuttle mission. Richard had to pay for it.

PaulBearer posted:Huh? The Hyperloop is supposed to reach 760 mph. Other (probably less realistic) designs have a top speed of around Mach 5. That reminds me of another fun thing about Musk's cyber-bus. What happens when something breaks? With a normal bus, the bus service will have a couple extra buses on hand so if one breaks down they can use a spare. Imagine commuting on the cyber bus. "We apologize for the inconvenience, but the cyber bus vacuum tunnel is taking in air from somewhere. Hope you don't need to get to work for the next three days while we track down and fix the problem!"
