Such a sad state of affairs where the people he made fun of for years happily dance on his grave as a win.

I have to use ghost archive with their site, because it will just keep things going in circles. Really annoying

He said it was a really hard because it was so different. Caine has made some interesting films. Victory was surprisingly fun.

It was needed for a few games. The Konami cyberpunk roleplaying game comes to mind.

Renee's life was sad, and her reasoning is the same one being used to keep the left in power.

The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible.”

It's on fire because they overused the GPU.

He's making a new Babylon 5 I hear.

He also wrote Clockwork Angels and Dream Cops. Those are some favorite comics.

If you get rejected enough, you take what you can get.

I've seen it in Seattle. You aren't nice unless you do these things. In fact, the big argument right now is that you are being rude if you say no.

Soft science wise I've observed it. It's a combination of the Dunning Krueger effect and Propaganda. I've nicknamed it the Pokemon Fight effect. Everyone chooses their own expert and then quotes the three or four things taught to them. So, Neil Degrasse Tyson said that global warming is real, and he is an expert, therefore it must be real and for the reasons he gave. If the expert changes their reasons, so does everyone who follows them.

Add in media in general and a constant flow of subjects that you can't be an exact expert on every time. Then social pressure to follow. Everyone starts to use their Pokemon experts and think they have independent thoughts.

I expect it to work like religions arguing with each other. When I taught at a university in Utah I had friends who served missions. They said people would argue with them with the exact same ideas over and over again. Ironically, even after hearing this, other professors would say the same argument to me as a fact. I would then point out my own religion, and they would give me phrases I've heard hundreds of times. Some of these people are experts, and yet not.

Since much of modern propaganda is replacing religion with the ideas of the state or large organization, it wouldn't be a surprise to see that the same methods work. A full brain scan as it happens would be cool, but we would need way more advanced equipment to get that. So, if it's repeatable, and the patterns show the same, that's likely what is happening.
