  • Its probably a standard Musk project. Show futuristic marketing pictures/videos of round pod-style futuristic vehicles to billionaire oligarchs and clueless politicians with a buzzword salad, until the hype brings in investors. Interest in his companies goes up, the imaginary price of the company goes up, his imaginary gold pile gets bigger.

    Then pocket the money and fail miserably delivering even a fraction of the promised things.

    The tunnel in Las Vegas, Hyperloop, Cybertruck, Robotaxi (still in progress afaik) Tiny House, the electric freight truck (I don’t remember its name), the various Mars projects just to name a few.













  • Apart from the endless EA, Ubisoft and similar AAA copy/paste titles I never understood the hype around MOBA games.

    I don’t get it. Its not real time strategy, but not an ARPG either, you dont create a character, instead have an insane pool of unique characters with a few abilities each. Its just feels like someone wrote down some random game mechanics and choose 5 at random.

    All levels are basically the same with mild variations and the whole gameplay loop boils down to optimised fast clicking on abilities and to get strong asap.

    Its super boring for me and couldn’t spend more than a couple hours with the games from the genre. Same goes for watching other people play.

    Its just a cherry on top to have the biggest tournaments and cash prices, while the top players are celebrated as superstars. Also somehow the biggest MOBA communities are infamous for toxicity.

    Definitely not my cup of tea.
