I don't think robot wars was ever considered an esport tho

we didnt say esports back then

true

listen, you need drone cams on your robot controller so you can play this sport at a safe distance

preferably hundreds of yards away

it needs an array of wide angle cameras

big box retail space is about to become very cheap and useless

for full 360 view

if you can afford it, thats fine, but all you really need is a driver cam and a turret cam

in BattleBots im guessing it was too long ago to be using wifi, so they probly used radio, and therefore can only be so far away that a plastic window will protect them

but now we can blow live ammunition from killer toys over WiFi just like the military does

it's true that it's a sport few people could afford to play

you lose when you get TD'd, and the easiest way to TD will be to take out the computer, so you're buying a new chip

does not that sound like fun

I suppose if it became a popular esport you would get sponsorships and shit

yeah sponsorships from the leading arms manufacturers

although of course it would probly be limited to having specially designed small low-velocity HE rounds that cant kill at a given distance

@picnicnapkin it's a joke

heres the lates from MotherBored

i haven't been keeping up with this, can i get a quick rundown?

Im still looking for a good overall summary of everything thats happened so far

*why not just scroll up several days and read all my linkdumps?* <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

Linus says his problem is he doesnt understand emotions. I believe he is wrong.
I think he does not understand *emotional imbalance*.

@M4Gunner @z80 Apparently, Linus did an interview on bbc about this.

Link?

The Net?

@M4Gunner @z80 Shit, it seems like he's been pressured into this.

yeah, I read

🤦

yeah i fail to see where he illustrates a problem in himself

"i have a problem, i think logically"

whao his wifes a blackbelt

yeah she can kick his ass

that's why we're in this mess <:sad:382980750347206666>

@M4Gunner @z80 @Deleted User It seems the exodus from Linux has begun. My roommates research group with one of our professors was talking about how ODL, the main firmware for layer 2 switches, and it is based on Linux, had nearly it's entire group of maintainers quit because of the new CoC.

Apparently, they all pulled they're code as well.

Holy shit
