  • Even with the years he has as a disadvantage, I would not have bet against Tyson.

    It was genuinely surprising that he didn’t win.

    To be fair, it went to the judges, and they decided that Tyson didn’t do as well as what’s-his-face… And looking at the numbers, it wasn’t by much.

    Say what you will about the man himself, but Tyson knows his sport and he’s damn good at it.

    With all that being said, what a crock of shit to waste so much time and effort so that some YouTube wannabe can match up against a retiree. Tyson won more fights than pretty boy has even officially fought, before that dickhead left his daddy’s nutsack. Let me put that another way, there was no time in this guy’s life where Tyson had yet to win a championship. He’s been a world champion for tube boy’s entire life.

    As far as I’m concerned, Tyson was in it for the payday. Win or lose, Tyson was walking away on top.









  • Honestly, I didn’t expect that Epic would be okay with this.

    It’s nice to see, and bluntly, after a game has gone through all the different stages of buying and owning, why not make it free? Makes it that much easier for nostalgia nerds to have awesome LAN parties.

    I don’t think this makes up for the long list of consumer hostile things that Epic has done, but it doesn’t hurt.

    The next thing I’d like to see is to have games open sourced when stuff like this happens and the game is well into obsolescence. At least someone can pick up the mantle that studios don’t want to have anything to do with, when it comes to making the game compatible with newer operating systems, or alternative operating systems (like Linux, though I think UT supported Linux), or so that it can be built for new architectures like Apple’s new arm based silicon.

    There’s no profit in the game anymore, so just let people have it so they can fix what you don’t care about anymore.

    Neither option is good long-term.

    If you check out forever, this shit is only going to get worse. If you stay angry all the time, you’ll be punishing yourself about something you cannot control.

    Check out for the next year or two, then switch to unbridled hatred during midterms.

    After that, check out until the next federal election. When that comes around, you know what to do.


  • I’m a fan of the overhead railways that have gone out of fashion. A few places still have/use them afaik, but I don’t think any area has put in a similar train/trolly system in decades.

    By moving the tracks away from the road entirely, car people can have their ever important streets (/s) and everyone else can continue unimpeded by vehicles.

    I mean, I’d rather have it so that we just replace roads in cities with public transit like LRT, but there’s just too many drivers that wouldn’t agree with the proposal and so it would never pass.


  • Those have been researched and tested for decades and the tech still hasn’t caught on. They just don’t put out enough power to be useful for much more than a clock circuit (not even enough to power a full watch, just keep the time).

    I have serious doubts they’re going to suddenly become viable anytime soon.

    Any useful energy production from nuclear is basically just making steam to run turbines. Same with coal but you know.
