100% depends on a bunch of stuff like the music, the quality of the characters and story, how the combat & movement feels, and if it ships day 1 with mod tools or not for me, vanilla being buggy is par for them but if it feels like a lived in world vs a half empty theme park is I think one of the big differences between Morrowind and Starfield.

Alt: Prince John villain from the Disney animated Robin Hood who Musk is emulating, raising taxes (tariffs, gutting social programs to give himself more government subsidies, etc) to pay himself more from taxes, the literal intro to the character in the movie is him fawning over a bag of money chanting "Taxes! Taxes!"

They are just as inept and uneducated with communications technology as the Senate, but they also have the ignorant hubris to do what they think is right instead of listening to security experts because to them they are wealthy and politically powerful so they stupidly assume they are competent and informed enough to override the consensus of experts. They do the same thing with hurricane projections, vaccines, scientific research and education funding, reproductive rights, etc.

If https://web.mnstate.edu/stutes/Econ411/Readings/civil.htm seems like what you're looking for the author has writings of his own and others in the references at the end.

A new hope came out in 1977, 48 years ago. My favorite era was all of the EU books and comics and video games that came out between rotj and episode 1 with all of the various authors and creators building and exploring stories and characters within the universe. Disney has a few good series, but they'll continue to strangle the IP until it becomes public domain/commons.

No idea of this particular instance, but there is a general idea of a shibboleth as a normative indicator someone is a member of a group by common tradition or custom or something not done by taboo. The way you say a word, react to a sneeze, count on your fingers, pronouncing it sequel vs S-Q-L, etc

Alt: you don't need to be a wizard to cast fireball text over a picture of a Molotov cocktail

 

The question was raised in a recent .world news article comment https://lemmy.world/post/25766196

 

Been listening to a few lately, a few John Carpenter's, Mayhem was pretty out there, looking for more that are interesting or wildly off topic or entertaining.
