    I read it as B52 at first and wondered how the building survives

    I mean if you want to suck the fun out of it only 4/22 of horseshoe crab species survived.

    Saying any species not evolving for millions of years is a misnomer anyway. A living fossil only superficially resemble ancient species. Since both nautilus and horseshoe crabs are considered living fossils I thought it's a fair comparison.

    But this is a silly little comic ultimately about the existential dread of modern human life so this level of pedantry isn't needed.

  • RandomStickman RandomStickman 2d ago 83%

    GTA 5 used an in-house engine (used previously, sure, but StarEngine is also modified from a pre-existing engine). The combined development and marketing budget is US$265 million. Development started in 2008 and released in 2013.

    Cyberpunk 2077 also used an in-house engine, budget (not sure if marketing is included or not) is US$316 million. Development started in 2012 and released in 2020.

    To put it to perspective Star Citizen's Kickstarter started on 2012. GTA 5 released on 2013, and GTA 6 is supposed to be out in 2025. If it doesn't get delayed too significantly we will get 2 full GTA games before SC is released.

    You'd think "we drive with our eyes, cameras are eyes." is an argument against only using cameras but that do I know.

  • Google is Killing uBlock Origin. No Chromium Browser is Safe.

    Xitter doesn't load for me

    xcancel.com still works... for now.

    Though I think Brave has a builtin adblocker

    Further down the article it says "Brave has a number of feature gaps compared to uBlock Origin, resulting in worse effectiveness as well." It's hard to beat uBO.

    Personally I don't find a huge difference with reddit and threadiverse, at least for larger subs. Sure, on paper there are hundreds of comments, but most are the same tired decade old memes. You can predict what the comment sections are gonna be like from the title alone. At worst you get similar comments here, but you don't have to dig through hundreds of comments before finding something worthwhile.
