This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, and certainly not anyone in an executive or military role.

It’s lame, but I can’t help wondering if in this particular case gamers are just peeved that the character looks older.

Much like that, yeah!

Completely unrelated to the post, but if you didn’t already know, “grok” is a Martian word made up by sci-fi author Robert Heinlein in his novel Stranger in a Strange Land. Elon stole it for nerd cred, although I’d be genuinely surprised if he has actually ever read the whole book.

Oh especially now, yes.

Oh yeah, I know that. It was more just a weird feeling that I find it hard to describe. Like, it felt like I was existing within multiple different realities at the same time for a brief moment. Just my imagination getting carried away, like how familiar objects can look like monsters in the dark, even though we know perfectly well what they really are.

Pretty depressing all around, but man you have to be willfully gullible to believe you’d be talking to the actual performer…

I played Ingress a little bit before Pokemon Go came out, enough to recognize all the same physical locations were being re-used. I found it kind of uncanny for some reason.
