Musk had a Quake II clan at one point and there is a guy who has worked for Musk for decades who was part of it.

My favourite thing about Musk is him claiming he was some kind of Quake champion in the 90s when it is easy to find out that's false.

Does Thiel also reference Diablo? I know that he references One Piece and Watchmen in his bizarro lectures

I was going to say. An undergrad is much more likely to run into Williams than Ong.

This reads like he put each author through the AI summarizing machine and then got back their main "thesis." Also in what way is Raymond Williams obscure? He is still widely read in literary studies and cultural studies. I read his book on television in a media theory seminar.

10K is incredible. I think I would need to go immediately to sleep after.

Are you playing this on original hardware or emulated? I've always been curious about this game.

This film works partly because it is so mean-spirited.

It's genuinely insane how much Big Tech is just trying to create different variations of Wii For Business. The Nintendo Wii practically seems forward-looking now!

They should have called the first iteration Wiiverse!
