Which memes? I’m not familiar. But, the attempts at joking about this product and the Charleton Heston movie are soooooooooo oooooooollllllld.
I’ve been eating Soylent for several years. I started with the powdered formulation v1.4; I did an experiment where I lived on only Soylent for about 5 months straight - I had no issues, I just got bored of not chewing things. I jumped to the premixed drinks when they arrived. I currently do Soylent for 1-2 meals and regular meals the rest of the day.
Most recently, I’ve been doing subscription shuffling because the current ownership is allowing the business to wither away because not enough people are doing monthly subscriptions. Right now, if you want pre-mixed drinks, chocolate is your best and maybe only option.

Me too. It seems like they’re down to doing only Chocolate flavor in reliable quantities.

I’m aware. I played Ultima Online.

I’ve played in the Seed closed beta. It’s awful. It’s not a game that anyone should invest any time in. I would describe it as the kind of thing self-absorbed developers build because they enjoy the process of building it, not because anyone but them will enjoy using it.
It’s a lightly-interactive Sims knock-off with all of the soul stripped out, zero story or narrative creation, and instead we’ve got Baby’s First Toy Economy Systems that are so trivially exploitable that it’s ruined every play session I’ve participated in because the entire world’s resources become dominated by 3 players within the first two weeks. There’s a barely-funcional civics system where players can elect somebody national leader, and there’s a toy government of the president’s cronies who can pass policies to alter some national economy settings (tax rate, import/export priorites, etc.).
There’s almost nothing stringing any of the game’s systems together. The developers appear to have a lot of faith that the player will somehow care about the goings on of their bots. But there’s not really all that much going on. Bot-to-bot interactions are shallow and purposeless. There’s just nothing going on in the game to latch onto.
As the saying goes - Imitation is the strongest form of flattery that mediocrity can give to greatness.

- Comment on Tekken Tag Tournament 2 - preparing for school tournament. 4 months ago:
TTT2 is just Tekken with some extra mechanics. Getting good requires learning the fundamentals of Tekken’s style of play. Juggle combos can be powerful, but it takes practice to get the timings down. Counters and Counter-Counters are important aspects of advanced gameplay. Use of the lateral movement capability is often under-utilized by most players, but can be powerful against excessively linear opponents.

- Comment on Why do we tolerate it that Luigi Mangione is being held in prison. We know its absolutely the least safe place he can be? 1 year ago:
How do you know that to be true? What evidence do you have to support the hypothesis?
Even if the outcome you fear to be true comes to pass, that will not mean you were correct today.
Without evidence to support the hypothesis, you’re doing nothing more complicated than guessing the result of flipping a coin.
