Still logging in on occasion in Midnight Sun, I am on the younger side (breaching my thirties soon) and my mother played introduced me at a very young age to play alongside her and to help guide and teach the game (and spelling, and critical thinking, and the digital world) that she had played years before I was born. Many of her longest friends that she still talks with daily she met through MS2 and the various other MUDs such as Aardwolf.
MUDs are truly wonderful, and I hope they have a resurgence in some form soon.
Did this article just slyly try to say that COVID-19 was a hoax and tie it to "communism coercion tactics" (which was more a thing designed by the US as a tactic against Americans campaigning for equal rights, during the cold war than anything).
half life releases were tied to new platforms, such as HL2 and its physics engine, or HL Alex and VR kits.
it's like Nintendo having a Mario game for their new hardware, e.g. Mario 64, etc.
there weren't that many teases, nor is it great marketing; CS:GO competitive e-sports is better marketed and probably made Valve more money than any HL wink-wink-nudge-nudge ever would.
That they don't support a nationalistic paramilitary organization that requires its members to be masked and never known by the public so they cant be held accountable? A nationalized KKK is not something to ever support.
I don't care about ICE one way or another, but calling people "monkeys" and "losers" because they're not building a product to your exact specifications is extremely childish.
It seems to me that the real "losers" are the ones spending so much time bitching and moaning about a software platform they don't like.
They aren't "bitching and moaning" they are moving communities and platforms. GitHub is user hostile run by a company with a pattern for that. Alternatives to GitHub exist and supporting them is not "bitching and moaning", it's building and creating. The fact you can't or won't recognize that is telling.
The oppositie is also true. "Caring" about ICE and wanting to flood the US with illegal immigrants is also a political position, a privileged one at that. It's a luxury belief: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxury_belief
Not being an American is a privileged position regarding an issue that negatively affects Americans. It's no different than if I, an American, fail to care about, say, Hungary's slide into autocracy. I am privileged to be able to not care about it.
By that definition, "privileged" looses all meaning, as there is an infinite number of injustices in the universe, and no one is affected by all of them.
And one of the fun things about how unwrap() does that automatically, is that if you are working with an orchestrator with retry logic, you won't need to (re-re-re-re-re-)write your own for the entire program - the orchestrator will see the error, log its output, and try again in high volume workloads, or move on to the next request - this is incredible and nice to use especially when a failure in one request doesn't need to fail the entire application for all requests.
I shy away from unwrap() in almost all cases (as should anyone!) but if you are running a modular system, then unwrap when placed strategically can be incredibly useful.
