  We ought to improve as humanity so we can deserve Gabe.

  True but then again that’s the point: he stole some fame as a scientist. Or at least as an “inventor”.

  Good scientists copy, great scientists steal.

  Just ask Tesla Edison!

  I mean… yes?

  It’s “tubular”!!! It was even in Super Mario World!

  It’s worth something to this me! Who so far is the Prime Me!

  Damn rules of thermodynamics!

  you can’t win

  you can’t tie

  you can’t quit the game

  I mean, that for the most part makes sense. Although in that case, wouldn’t it have been reported that “no one attended the party but the food and the snacks were somehow missing”?

  That said. Unsure how exactly it went but I read somewhere that if you had the power of True Invisibility, that is being undetectable at any wavelength of light, then you’d basically be able to simulate negative mass, and from there to “time travel” it’s kind of a straight line.

  First I ever hear of the Paycheck method honestly, at least under that name. Reminds me of a short story about the government keeping a secret “chronoscope” machine and the efforts of the MC to democratize that knowledge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Implications⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct me if I’m wrong:

  I live in a timeline where time travel has not yet been invented. Even if someone invents it in the future and travels to the past to the party, that’d create an alternate timeline where the party is attended and civilization leaps bounds ahead in glorious post-scarcity, magical socialism fashion.

  But nooooo since the timeline was forked at that point, no matter how many people do, in fact, attend the party, I’m stuck in the “strand” of the timeline when no one ever did because time travel has not been invented.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK petition of "Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state" just got thrown back to the Government⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It would make sense to require a company to release the code for players to host their own servers, which has been done by many games in the past. Not to continue to run it themselves.

  That counts as “working state”, assuming the published code is reasonable to operate (it must be FOSS, or at least permit open modification and distribution; and it must run in a server with specs that’s reasonable to have at the time of game publication)

  So they apologize for being caught, not for wrecking stuff, as usual.
