And we'll come up with a name that merges climate and technology, let's call it skynet.

You can absolutely win them over but the problem is they go right back. Like someone getting out of rehab and going to right to their dealer they will turn on newsmax or get on Facebook and reprogram themselves.

Beyond Earth but I see your point, Civ has had several of these https://civilization.fandom.com/wiki/Civilization_(series)#Spinoffs

Point being that they can experiment and do something a little different, I don't think that the quality of the spinoff indicates the quality of the main franchise.

I don't think this means ES6 is doomed. Did anyone play the Civ space game? It was an offshoot one-off experiment that wasn't really well recieved and they quietly moved on.

My guess is that this game pivoted during development and they ended up with something that didn't really work and shouldn't have shipped. The failure to find something good in this experiment may be isolated to this game.

The fact that they released it in the state they did could be more about their workflow and project pipeline/target milestones they need to hit than it is about their ability to execute.

The failure here is in design, ES6 has a tried and true design to follow.

They don't use prompters but paper cards and their reasoning is that the script changes up until the last minute but that doesn't make any sense as it's easier to update text on a computer than to rewrite a bunch of cards.

They are superstitiously stuck in their ways at SNL, now Lorne says he's not going to retire so I don't expect it to get any better.

So does Hakeem Jeffries' BluePac, and that's why leadership gave him a promotion.

They've been so busy building the party to be fully accessible to financial interests that the corruption is what stands out most prominently to a public that can't tell the difference between either party.

My fusion clips keep saying Media Offline but it's not offline! It's right there!

Other than that it's been great for me also.

The Pod Save America ep from today discussed this, Jon Lovett said that Trump has often talked about being a target in a public place and may well have thought about what he would do in that moment. 'hes a showman'.

Too spooky for me

Yeah, for some it's a crutch that helps them through difficult times so it's not all bad but largely I agree

It seems like a delusion of grandeur. A mental illness.
