  • They did great with Metroid Dread, putting a new spin on an old classic.

    I have some faith that they won’t just be rehashing an old formula and that this “Beyond” aspect will have some gameplay twists.

    This trailer seems meant to reassure those of us who have been waiting decades for a true successor to Prime that “yes, in fact this is it”.

    I expect we will see more trailers as it gets closer, teasing some of the new story and gameplay innovations once they are more polished.










  • I’ll layer on to the other replies which are spot on…

    One reason I’ve soured on hydrogen is that it’s overall much less efficient than battery as an energy storage mechanism.

    This is a really in depth article about a study that found that “well to wheel” efficiency of battery EVs was 70-80% and with hydrogen it’s 25-30%.

    I was initially excited about hydrogen as energy storage for renewable sources, but battery tech has improved and is improving.

    Also, one of the major advantages of a BEV for me is the ability to charge at home, possibly from energy generated by my own panels. Even if there were solutions for me to generate my own hydrogen, I’d rather lose 20-30% of that energy with a BEV than lose 70-75% with a FCEV.






  • I’m not sure it’s true that the Israeli government doesn’t care about American public opinion, since they do benefit from American military support, but let’s assume what you said is true.

    Even if Americans protesting won’t stop the genocide, won’t end apartheid, I’d prefer that those atrocities are not committed with my tax dollars, with support from my government, in my name. The lesson learned from 9/11 shouldn’t have been “we need to enact regime change anywhere in the world where American interest are opposed”. It should have been “Americans better make sure they are OK with the things that their government is doing abroad”.

    I’m not OK with it, I’m not willing to risk dying in a terrorist attack so that Gaza can be levelled with “made in America” munitions. I’m not willing to risk dying in a terrorist attack so that oil companies and other big business interests have friendly regimes to collude with in the region as they scam the people out of their resources and freedoms.




  • Yeah you have a point I struggle whenever I want to describe my political opposition. Sometimes I want to write Republicans but then there are people who claim to be independent or libertarian so then I write conservatives but in reality the Republicans don’t uphold any conservative values such as small government, fiscal responsibility, etc. So I think I’ve settled on the term regressive. You’re either progressive or regressive and regressives are holding us back from moving forward. I think fascists could work too but so many Trump supporters just don’t understand that they’re being fascists.

    I agree that framing is important. For example, I don’t support new taxes or making drugs legal.

    I DO support repealing tax cuts and repealing cannabis prohibition.

    Still, I suspect that conservatives oppose many of these things regardless of framing, due to an “I got mine” mindset. The trick is to frame these issues in a way that appeals to their self interest.

    For example, instead of “universal healthcare is the right thing to do for the dignity of our population”, we need to frame it as “universal healthcare will save taxpayers money”.
