This article is based on a report from the Independent https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/china-hypersonic-flights-speed-concorde-b2051192.html nowhere does it say they have completed a test flight.

The brand Space Transportation, also known as the company Beijing Lingkong Tianxing Technology, has released an animated video which shows how its proposed “space flights” might look

That’s awesome. I hadn’t heard about that. I love silly shit like that! :)

Agreed!

Oooh, good call! It totally does. I bet a Toxic Megacolon show would have a wild and kickass mosh pit.

I’ve always thought “hemoglobin,” “ankylosing spondylitis,” “rectocele,” and “postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome” were fun to say. There’s definitely more medical words I like, but I’ve got mad brain fog, so I’m not able to come up with much at the moment. Which is a major bummer!

Yes! This is a big one that bugs me how often people don’t even attempt this. Darn noobs need to lurk moar! It’s basic netiquette.

The consequences will NEVER be the same!

Haha that reminds me of a shirt I had around '08/'09 that just said “Awesomesauce.” I kind of miss the silly stuff like that and the shirts you mentioned. It really does seem like it was a simpler time :) Nowadays life is pwning me left and right!

Hot damn! Where’s my wallet!?

I felt the same way when I tried playing it. I’m so glad I saw your comment - I feel less alone, lol.

Ooh, this looks like it could be nice. Thanks for mentioning it!

Damn. Thank you for sharing this here, Alyaza!

Microsoft fired its entire QA team 10 years ago, and shifted the responsibility for testing onto developers. They also got rid of their dedicated hardware lab where software would be tested on many different hardware combinations.

That…makes SO much sense and explains a lot! Thanks for mentioning it.

Once again I find myself thinking, “Dammit, Google!”

Thank you very much for the text summary, I really appreciate it :)

I believe it’s a fantasy/for funsies mock-up of what the gaming store/launcher application Steam maybe could have looked like if it was done in a style similar to Windows 7’s styling and other computer applications and websites during that era. Looks like maybe MySpace and Windows Live Messenger may have been some inspiration

I hope that helps. I may be leaving stuff out or wording things oddly since I’m pretty brain foggy due to health issues, but no one had answered ya (that I can see) and I wanted to try to help ya out 😅

You’re my favorite customer!

As the WOATest WOAT, I’ve got the other end on lock! We’re killing it, buddy!

Ha!

Just in case it makes you feel any better: I’m a native English speaker who always aced the reading comprehension tests back in school, and I read it the exact same way. Lol! I’m glad I wasn’t the only one. :)

Of course you do.
