I have a theory: anyone who has a documentary made about their office politics escapades that are not even 3 years long is suffering from ego inflammation and will not be good in the long run.

Easily. Never saw a guy who took one of Tolkien's names for his own thing and wasn't a walking intellectual Kunstkamera material.

That one time SpaceX discovered why you do actual serious civil engineering before starting construction of your launch pad for the most powerful rocket in the world.

That one time SpaceX re-discovered why you don't want a fully manual and unreviewed rocket fueling procedure. Picture this: a whole control room of smart employees looking at the screens, seeing the top tank getting frosty from all the propellant and not thinking about the fate of the bottom tank.

Mind you, all of those are from a book expressly meant to generate warmth in the pants of SpaceX's fans, one which shamelessly omits a whole lot of stuff, even public knowledge stuff, that the author knew would look bad in print.

That one time SpaceX discovered why you don't replace aerospace grade hardware with commercial grade one without adequate re-qualification.

That one time SpaceX discovered why you don't improvise rocket launch procedures on the spot.

That one time SpaceX discovered why you should at least do rough calculations showing your consumables won't run out with catastrophic consequences.

That one time SpaceX discovered why if you have a known possible improper hardware control failure mode you should ideally put in place some automation preventing it and actually test if the operators understand the hazard.

Look, Clause 18(b) of the TOS for the Torment Nexus states that using it for torment is expressly prohibited. You are not meant to press the button labeled Torment, even if it is the only button. If you did, that's on you bucko.

More car crashes and higher insurance premiums in the name of affordability.

I watched him break a Cybertruck, and he was so insufferable i felt pity for the abomination.

The funny thing is, he already pulled that once with the FAA, directly telling his fans to send comments to the agency during the Starship certification. It backfired spectacularly with the agency having to respond to every single one of the ~17k messages.

Similarly, Casino Royale is the only good James Bond movie.

Just layers upon layers of dysfunction. Bonus points for having a council of players, saying they approved this garbage and not actually presenting it to them in full much less taking any comments.

Then and only then the studio decided to get rid of that main game designer. But not before adding a meme item celebrating / mocking the introduction of this system. Imagine that - seeing massive backlash to your terrible idea and making a collectible about it!

It killed alliances that relied on the old system to get to their PVP. It prevented the biggest battles in terms of ship cost from ever happening again and generating headlines for the game. The drop in player numbers was about 40% in the span of 2 years.

Also, think of this amazing game mechanic - it forces you to do nothing but sit in a station and look at two differently colored timers. It killed the people who did the logistic either way, ~95% of those who did it for money stopped doing it.

The actual release of this trash had somewhat more forgiving math and special exceptions for transport ships, but it still sucked ass. What used to take me 10 minutes, would take 4 hours after it, and some things that i used to do became infeasible.
