I wonder if he likes X so much, because X is only missing 90 angle arms to look like swastika.

And then, this dork, unaware of such (and so many other things) read that shit and went "hell yeah, Project X? That's great. I'm in, like a hacker, this is clearly the good stuff only someone like me can get it to do" 😂

And wow. He was right!

Well you have to admit, Project X sounds a lot cooler than Project C.

Holy... I cannot believe that many people would bother to come to an unknown event. Unbelievable, lol. Thanks for sharing.

The point is, "CEO of " is just as, if not more identifiable than their name, that everyone will forget in a week.

I don't get it. If I somehow ended up with enough money to not have to work the rest of my life I'd buy a decently nice house and and a newer sedan so that it's reliable, keep working part time in my field because I genuinely love it, spend more time on my hobbies, and do all the traveling I've been dreaming of but too broke to do my entire life.

If I had a ludicrous amount of money I'd have a serious thought about how many normal people I could help and how and who I wanted to help. I'd love to set up a scholarship fund for adults going back to school (any school), but I'd also love to help adults in underdeveloped nations starting a business, and I'd love to work with medical charities, and I'd love to help underprivileged children get educated, and there's so many things I'd love to do to help people's lives get better.

Scheming on how to steal more money from ordinary people would be the last thing on my list!

You're right, greed is a mental illness, and exactly the key mechanism here. It's the same underlying thing as hoarding, for the like - miserly greedy, especially.

But there's also this huge complicating factor of the sort of...spot on the spectrum one lands, usually at birth, between no_resources_available and all_resources_available.

Human brains, as they grow into adults, normalize their sort of "home life" circumstances - any understanding of those circumstances - how those compare with broader and broader "others", AKA how their growing up differs from other folks, and how that came to be?

By dint of biological development, the capacity for those thoughts, leaving aside merely hopeful exposure to them - that ability itself can only develop after the developmental points at which the burgeoning consciousness forms its baseline observations about what the world is. Ya dig?

It's something a lot worse than just the hoarding flavor fixated on money. It's mentally unhealable people raising people at such an extreme end of the resources_available spectrum as to make roughly all of them ~equivalently unhealable as a result. Generation after generation, worse and worse, just really baking in that "hole in one's humanity" unwellness.

Until ta-da! - something snaps, then a lotta things do, then a lotta extra heinous shit happens for a buncha years (by which I mean a lotta people suffer, die, and are forgotten), and eventually a whole lotta the world ends up with pretty different rubble and rules to try to reorganize around. Often some flavor of "second verse, same as the first" but yeah.

So IDK what to call it. We keep doing it, must be pretty cool stuff lol.

It's the opposite, in my opinion. Krafton is the publisher, but right now their name is no longer on the game. So the Developers are self publishing, it looks like. But since Krafton fucked up so royally, the ruling is that if the game sells X amount of copies (I forgot the actual amount) before September, the developers still get the $250m. And Krafton gets no further say in the game and has no further say in the developer team.

No, the devs are getting the payout they deserve.

Everyone knows lemmy is anonymous and fully untrackable
