  • SC is a scam. They sell ships for real money that only half work. The game is riddled with bugs, quests don’t complete. Users state is regularly wiped so there’s no point on progressing in it and instead of finishing the game they ask players for much more money to work on tiny niche technical problems that sound super important on presentations but don’t move the needle even a little bit towards a finished game. At best, it is video game history most expensive physics toy. In reality, when you scrutinize their finances executives have pocketed most of the money raised and devs have been paid poor wages and overworked to a constantly moving target. They have never finished a single roadmap item, but they have announced to fanfare at least 5 different development roadmaps that are the very definition of scope creep. Lots of announcements but never a release. Any competent studio would’ve delivered at least three completed games in the same timeframe for that amount of money. They’re an online asset store that sometimes let’s you fiddle with the digital models, not a video game.


  • A graphic designer friend who taught Photoshop literacy always said that any idiot can use graphic design software. The technical skills for using an app or piece of software have not been an obstacle for a long time. Knowing a piece of software, no matter how advanced or simple, doesn’t make someone a good designer, not even knowing it really well. There are technical elements that are actually agnostic to software, like composition, balance, communication, symbology, color theory, etc. But more importantly, and what they usually spent the most time on, it’s also a matter of taste. Like with music, taste plays a very important role in good design. Sort of like drawing, with enough practice and guidance anyone can draw really well. But knowing how to draw won’t make a person a famous artist. There are so many more things than the technical use of a tool.




  • Poor comprehension of the law. LLC in the vast majority of the western world means limited liability, not absolute immunity. Owners are 100% responsible for the actions of their companies, but their liability is limited when other members of the company act without their knowledge or in bad faith, or damages are unintentional. If the damage was intentional and the actions were sanctioned and approved by ownership or leadership they are absolutely liable for the legal repercussions. Liability is limited also for multiple owners, a hedge fund cannot be held responsible for the action of a company they only own 5% of and has an indirect influence on the actions of leadership. The really important element here is that Musk is being identified as acting as primary agent, not just Twitter, and using assets and resources from his other companies. Thus, it’s not Twitter acting, it’s Musk who is acting, and then fines can be on all of his capital holdings, not just Twitter. This nuance of law is exactly according to the laws in place in the EU.





  • He is, watch the vídeo. Longwinded list of criticism, controversies and red flags in a single event, then back to shilling. “If anyone is gonna deliver, it will be Tesla”, god, it even sounds like an ad read.

    Tesla is faux futurism. They don’t promote an utopia, but a fascist capitalist dystopia. Where tech has made it so you don’t have to talk with poor people anymore. Talk to your robot maid instead, and get shuttled around so you never have to interact out of your class bubble.
