I think your odds are sensible. The key thing is, nobody trusts any information anymore. It depends upon the spectacle associated with it. If it doesn’t make for a spectacular splash (which it being drawn out and so “obvious” by now has definitely diminished the likelihood of) it won’t stick

it just tells you what you want to hear

You are paid and trained to navigate tax law, that is not reflective of most people with executive dysfunction. You can criticize the economics and energy considerations without being exclusionary

I will not disagree with you there. The economics of it are totally fucked.

Natural language interfacing is immensely useful to people who suffer from executive dysfunction wrt navigating the immense and horrific bureaucracy of tax law and health insurance

Can’t hurt to try

I’m playing through it with my wife and the excellent voice acting really makes the political intrigue and baroque language a bit more comprehensible. And the little extra vocalizations they added between lines when things are happening during cutscenes—it’s so lovely. And the “state of the realm”?!

The remaster of final fantasy tactics, The Ivalice Chronicles, brought a full voice cast to one of my favorite stories and it is. Delectable

Dude you expand my brain
