That is SUCH an amazing way to put it. No grinding, no waiting for timers to run out, no traveling back and forth to savepoint, no insanely hard challenges or unlocks. Just experiencing it, and (for the most part) even failing forward.

Error-correction for dropped packets is also pretty shit.
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes flashdrives hurtling down the highway.
It’ll trickle down aaaaaany day now.
Well, China, if you want a few chip-makers, i know a few slightly-used ones that used to belong to an old lady and have only ever been used for shopping trips.
Traditional sails are also fragile, complex, expensive and very labour intensive even with electric winches. A fully rigged ship is exceptionally complicated and knowing how to work one takes huge skill and knowledge, and that’s not even mentioning what to do when something goes wrong.

And if that leads to Twitter becoming a dead husk of itself, oh well, that’s a problem for next quarter
You can absolutely have free speech, but nobody is forced to actually listen to you.
Which is good, because in the real world, every place that has “zero censorship” rapidly devolves into a Nazi invested shithole.
Just defederate the Meta instances, and your problem is solved, right?
