Also interested in knowing

Maybe it’s telemetry data from Max?

It should be clear that Max had no intention of ever making the corner, he only wanted to get to the apex first so that he can “claim” it according to the new rules.

I disagree with you that he phrased it as a threat but I’m not in the mood to argue semantics

We’re 100% in agreement that this shit is scary af

He’s not even phrasing it as a threat, for him it’s just an “obvious solution” to a problem he made up. He doesn’t even see it as something serious so he doesn’t threaten us with it.

Which makes what he is saying even more scary. Imagine what is he NOT saying and that he thinks would be a threat? Fuck, as someone on the other side of the pond I hoped I could show my support to my fellow Americans but this will fuck us all in the end.

Neuromancer read!

Already started Count Zero and also started playing Cyberpunk 2077 on PC

Overall it’s a pretty cool book and considering it was written like 50 years ago he got a lot of shit right

The beginning was rough not because the story isn’t interesting but because he starts at 100 and takes almost no time to explain the world. Also I’m not a native English speaker but I usually don’t don’t issues with reading novels in English (haven’t read one in my native language in more than a decade probably) but his writing style was super hard to follow. He jumps a lot and it was many times difficult to know who said what. Definitely had to keep myself fully focused most of the time. Overall pretty cool book. Super imaginative world

I mean that would be at least partially more true if it were a sequence of bets and results but in this case it’s a single bet which will take forever to resolve so all of that analysis is useless. I’m sorry it just is.

What betting markets give is a sentiment of who people (who bet) think will win, which is something, but it’s different from predicting who will actually win. Humans are crap at predicting shit, especially humans that bet and especially humans that bet in political outcomes.

A huge portion of bets are very biased because of political “teams” and beliefs. If people suck at betting in sports events I would argue they suck even more at betting at political events where their identify and beliefs and even more at play.

Polling already gives you flawed data, betting markets even more so.

Honestly not even going to watch the trailer because I’ll watch S2 when it comes out

Does anyone know if it will be weekly releases or full dump?

If Trump wins my faith in humanity is fully gone

Might as well accelerate climate change before we fuck Earth any further. We don’t deserve this planet.

Because our collective we is composed of many different people. You have brilliant scientific minds and genius artistic people and everyone in between. At the same time you have very empathetic people and others who would not hesitate to hurt someone for their gain.

Diversity is both a blessing and a curse.

 

How are everyone’s stories coming along? Have you finished the game? If so how many times?

What tips, remarks or other things of note do you have that you want to discuss here?

As always try to keep things as spoiler free as possible.

Also should I do these posts more regularly (shows up on people’s feeds more and so has more traction) or like this is fine. Definitely don’t want to spam people.

Lucky rolls to you all!

 

The previous post was starting to lose steam so here is another one.

Please note that these will be pinned at the top of the community, so do remember to check back to these threads. The more people contribute, the more other people will check it out and continue the discourse.

As always, please be careful of spoilers. Use warnings and tags when needed.

Feel free to share anything you want, or ask any questions :D

Lucky rolls to you all.

 

I figured we should have a post for random thoughts, questions and other comments that people might want to do without having to create a new post just for that.

Do people agree this idea? We can have these up (possibly pinned) for a while. Maybe a few days, at most a week.

Please keep discussion spoiler free, unless you are using the appropriate tags.

Cheers!!
