Tech Bros are the absolute worst combination—people who got lucky (skill almost never has anything to do with it) due to timing and now think that whatever weird fetishes they have are the primary reason, so they want to force that on everyone else.

By all accounts, the PC "upgrade" is an abject failure that not only doesn't add anything worthwhile, but also breaks all existing mods (and doesn't even fix some major previous bugs, like the weapon debris bug). Because they changed the compiler for this version of the game, it's not even a matter of just having the F4SE get updated (which most mods rely on), it looks like each mod will need an update to work. Bethesda basically just ruined FO4 for PC if you used any mods. Such an absolute joke of a company.

Global Tetrahedron is a real company, but it's also the name of an Evil Megacorporation™ from The Onion's book This Dumb Century. In real life, it was founded less than two weeks ago. It appears to be owned by Jeff Lawson and Ben Collins: The Onion Sold by G/O Media - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM The satirical news website was bought by a new firm in Chicago that took inspiration for its name, Global Tetrahedron, from a book written by The Onion’s staff. Looks like they plan to bring back the Onion News Network and some other things that were cut in the past. This is great news.

Time to go back to full ballistic weaponry! A big ball of iron launched in a parabolic arc doesn't care about jamming!

I specifically froze my updates and just use the Script Extender to launch—I don't plan to get this upgrade since as you say, it's actually a downgrade on PC.

One of the big promises (and kind of excuse for why other long-range weaponry wasn't being provided) was that the GLSDB would be useful. Unfortunately, it appears that (like Wade said earlier) Russian anti-GPS and EW jamming is proving very effective against US drones and munitions:

For sure. "It's the job of the free press to make all politicians look as bad as possible...in a way that generates the most ad revenue."

Russian minister detained after taking bribe, law enforcement agency says | Russia | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Arrest of deputy defence minister Timur Ivanov comes weeks after Vladimir Putin urged FSB to step up efforts to root out corruption The Deputy Defense Minister of Russia was arrested by the FSB. Ukrainian intelligence already taking credit, saying they basically funneled a $10k bribe to him in order to get him caught by the FSB on corruption/treason charges. Russian officials are dumb enough to fall for it.

Ukraine to increase long-range strikes in Russia, says UK defence chief WWW.FT.COM Admiral Sir Tony Radakin tells the FT fresh military aid will help Kyiv reshape ‘difficult’ land fight against Moscow No confirmation as yet if this means the UK will allow Storm Shadows and other munitions to be used against targets inside Russia.

The Papers of Record™ in the US are just absolute shit. Yeah, they're better than Fox News and they have some good reporters working for them, but the ownership and editorials are sooooooooooooooo elitist it's ridiculous. "Only we can save DEMOCRACY by both-siding every story!"

Also get to live longer.

Far more likely that we discover in 2027 that Musk has been slowly draining batteries by using the onboard CPU to mine dogecoin.

On my flight to Montreal a few weeks back, I was on a 3-3 plane (737-800) and had the inside seat (my wife had window). The guy in the aisle next to me spread his arms and legs out into my personal space. The unwritten rule is that the person in the middle seat gets both arm rests (since they don't have aisle/window for more room), but this guy wasn't having any of it. The entire flight he was on Facebook watching right-wing Pierre Poilievre and conspiracy videos, though, so I didn't want to start anything with him since he 100% seemed the type to start an altercation. Flying is so bad nowadays that it honestly is affecting our plans to travel.

Germany once again proving to be weak and spineless—they've been saying for over a year that the only way they'll deliver any Taurus missiles (like Storm Shadows, but with larger warheads) to Ukraine is if the US is also going to commit long-range strike missiles, as Germany knows that Ukraine will use Tauruses to take out the Kerch bridge. Basically, that Germany won't be a leader, just a follower. However, now that the US is going to provide long-range single-warhead ATACMS...Germany is saying they won't send any Tauruses.
