Sure they are, they're called helicopters.

The problem with flying cars isn't that it's not possible, it's that it's not possible to do safely. People can't seem to stay out of each others way in two dimensions, much less three.

I usually just use email.

Pen and paper? What's that?

Probably one of those pre-announcements. Or they had AI determine the announcement date.

Less global warming more genocidal megalomaniacal space dictator whose favorite manor of execution is sending boeing aircrafts full of political dissidents into volcanoes.

Based on what I've heard of the internal structure of Valve, there's a good chance he's helped foster enough an environment of "doing what you love" that it'd survive him retiring/dying. Maybe not forever, but at least for a long while after he's gone.

I think I have it on every game system I have, unless they released an N64 version...

By that logic, no media exists (and also always exists) as it occupies a superposition of both being on and not being on physical media.

What the fuck are you talking about? It's both digital media and physical media. They can not exist without each other. The only difference being that physical media bought in a store is permanently stored on its own medium... and considering we're talking about permanent storage anyways... what difference would that make?

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That's still physical media, though. Just one you "create" yourself. You could say "This isn't a hunk of plastic, therefore I'm not contributing to e-waste"... but that only matters if you decide to throw away the game after making a copy.

Drives still fail eventually, just like disks and cards.

Well if you can't get SSDs, what are you going to use for storage? I doubt tape drives are best as daily drivers.

Because it's easier to see one scary boogie man we can blame than lots of little problems that add up, and that no one seems intent on solving.

I've no doubt that there are malicious foreign (or even domestic) actors of notable material wealth, but it's hardly the only cause for such things.
