Haven't read the article because I really don't care about this idea but how can you call it a revolution? V10 ICE are not new and there's very little to optimize at this point. It's a relic of the past and there's no application for this tech outside of motor racing.
Uff, watching this race really didn't feel like time well spent.
It was really underwhelming how uninspired the McLaren strategy was as Palmer on F1TV rightfully pointed out. They really didn't make it difficult at all for Red Bull to cover off both drivers. And Piastri not getting the chance to attack Max was sad to see. He was faster than Norris at that stage. You can always swap them back if it doesn't work out.
Interesting, I had a very similar experience. I loved exploring the world, gaining new powers to unlock even more areas and growing stronger along the way. The world felt alive and authentic. Traversal was fun and combat was fair. I also liked how the characters you randomly meet have their own journeys, making the world feel dynamic.
But as the ending approached, it lost some momentum. With such a vast world and so much to discover, getting from A to B to C took time. I never actually finished the game but somehow that felt fine. It was more about the journey than the destination, which is rare for me.
If the initial reviews are good, the sequel might be the first game I buy at full price in a long time.
I'm always amazed at how they're able to report on depressing stories while still managing to sprinkle in some fun. It's a delicate balancing act they nail on a weekly basis.
However, how dire the situation in the United States actually is always leaves me in disbelief. From a European perspective, things always seem to be on the extreme side over there.
I had the same hope the last time this clown was president (welp, there goes my US visa). It didn't happen. Maybe this time it'll be different but as long as conservatives have any saying in EU politics I'm very much sceptical.
I'm playing this game for the first time right now. It's safe to say that it captivated me. The world they created is astonishing. Even after well over 50 hours I'm not bored at all.
Your post really captures the beauty that can be found if one takes the time to look. Thank you for your relentless posting!
I'm glad to hear it. Sometimes posting stuff on lemmy feels like talking to yourself, especially in a smaller community such as this one. Looking forward to the new season with the bunch of you.
I disagree. Improving an existing concept and changing it to make it more practical or easier to produce for example is innovation.
The examples you gave in the introduction are examples of that: The parts that make an automobile existed when it was invented and you could argue again that it wasn't a completely novel idea but an improvement of the steam engine and horse-drawn vehicles.
The airplane massively relied on improvements in engine and material design.
Your assessment that innovations used to be completely original in their design and are not any more is a fallacy.
The issue, as I see it, is that most people struggle to envision a society beyond capitalism. Capitalist ideology is embedded in every aspect of our lives. It appears in our mindset, in books, movies, and even in children's television shows. The narrative that anyone can succeed if they work hard enough, and that poverty is simply the result of laziness, is both powerful and pervasive.
The idea that everyone should live in isolated cabins is neither a realistic vision nor a desirable goal for society.
That's a nice quote, thank you. I looked into it. It's by Andrew Collier:
To look at people in capitalist society and conclude that human nature is egoism, is like looking at people in a factory where pollution is destroying their lungs and saying that it is human nature to cough.
