This fellow gamed out the timelines for the Switch 2 (which is undoubtedly 'easier' to manufacture, relatively speaking) and, well, if you substitute 'months' for 'weeks' you're still outside the realm of possibility, even at the tiniest of scale. bsky.app/profile/meze...

The community levels in Portal 2 are ~mostly all great too! (there's the odd stinker but you can skip as needed). The best ones are far more diabolical than even the last few levels in the actual game

I’m in the same boat (on a 12 month recall schedule I think) and though it’s always a clean bill of health, the severity of the alternative keeps me going back

Calm down there champ, was just adding some colour.

Speaking as a Canadian you Have No Idea How Deadly Serious we take this shit. Being the world’s undisputed superpower for decades is NOT free; your words have consequences you can scarcely imagine for the rest of us.

Seriously though, the thing about chaos is that you can both make a *lot* of money if you front-run it, and also milk a bunch of political capital when you later 'solve' it. When you yourself are the cause of the chaos, both of those things are trivial. Guy is making unholy bank in both senses.

LOL like i'm stepping foot in the states again (at least for a long, long while)

I did the opposite, in Canada, about 15 years ago. Happy to talk!

DING DING DING!

Phew! Shark bites are amazing for exactly that (pro tip: buy a ball valve one and keep it around for emergencies) but they’re not long term

are you planning on drywallimg over that sharkbite? If so you’re gonna have a bad time

Quite.
