Carmack is not a game designer (never was in fact). Carmack is a God. Also, jist because what you think he is doesn't mean that he is not right.

Let's not normalize placing people who do cool things on unnecessarily large pedestals. Idolization like that never has a good outcome.

I also watched almost all episodes of PBS Spacetime. Some of them multiple times. I'm so happy that Spacetime exists and also that Matt was recruited as a host (in place of Gabe). Highly recommended channel, superb content!

then the taxpayers can foot the bill

[Sprocklem → edem]

It's a contract with NASA. Taxpayers already are footing the bill.

[BHSPitMonkey → Sprocklem]

I think they mean for the continued costs of correcting the issues. It's a fixed cost contract, and Boeing is currently on the hook for the runaway costs this mission is incurring.
