Why isn't Elon swooping in, offering to build a carbon tunnel to the Titanic ("funding secured") and calling people pedos along the way? Seems like exactly his cup of tea.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think his days of pretending to be a good guy are over.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So he can just skip the helping part, just start calling people pedos

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

He’s busy waging a war on trans

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

There’s a great punchline about boys hidden somewhere in there.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

He has done it once and cannot be bothered to do the same things over and over again. Rescuing people is a solved problem after all and there is no more challenge in it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

NEXT: Hideo Kojima makes a VR Game that realistically simulates what would be to rescue the Titan, however no player managed to succeed yet, as their submersible also gets stuck in the middle of deep sea, thus also prompting a rescue operation.

One of the most bizarre non-the-onion headlines I have read in a while.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It really is

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I wonder what controller his sub uses

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Hey the steam controller was kind of a flop but I got one when they went on closeout at like $5 and it's actually pretty sweet. Very niche but definitely unique.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

They're making a new one and calling it the "Steam Quarter-Deck"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

But the real question is: is it steered by a Steam Controller?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

"Great, now that we're close, use the touch pad to extend the robot arm"

They are doomed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Steam Deck. Linux. They will need to Bing the correct magic for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, /etc/default/grub, in order to get rid of spurious interrupts.

Too bad the Titanic is below 3000 Meters, we know he won't pass 3

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

If only they had sunk to 2999 meters 2: episode 2

Is it time again to start praying to Lord Gaben?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Are you ready for a miracle?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Please tell me this site is a joke

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This site is not a joke, and nor is the headline.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So, /c/nottheonion? We really need that

You ain't kidding, that sub his GabeNs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSV_Limiting_Factor

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Had no clue Gaben ran anything besides steam, especially not a company like Inkfish. Pretty cool.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This thing would be useless in the search effort

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

And it's also named after GOU Limiting Factor from Iain M. Banks The Culture series!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Honestly, this is a headline I would never have expected in 2023.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

What happened to James Cameron's stuff?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Deepsea Challenger isn't operational. It's a decade old and in a museum right now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It belongs in a museum!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

James Cameron doesn't do what James Cameron does for James Cameron. James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is James Cameron.

...huh? Even DSV Alvin is still active. I'm sure there are more.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's true that after the overhaul about 10 years ago Alvin can dive to nearly twice the Titanic's depth, but Alvin and Atlantis are in the Pacific Ocean right now

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

People, just trust me, Gabe Newell: it's actually really safe! It's controlled by a Steam Deck hot wired into a version of Source that runs Half-Life 2 and Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines at the same time it controls the sub. Just don't pick Malkavian on the selection screen, otherwise the lights might flicker, and the sub might malfunction, leaving you stuck deep at sea.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Just don't expect him to make a 3rd submarine guys

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 year ago

Would be great that Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, Rothschild, Soros and Larry Fink would went on that submarine...
