Ground Control (released in 2000) had the coolest artillery units of any RTS I ever played. And I pretty much played them all. The units fired in a long ballistic trajectory that was just really awesome to watch. And IIRC massing the units and firing at a target would make the artillery blanket the area, not all just hit the same place you clicked.

Binary thinking is what got us where we are in politics.

I don’t give a shit about MTX because I ignore all of it, but I quit playing after the nth time I melee’d someone in the back and not get a kill… only to have someone else I’m staring at 20 feet away from me, FACING ME, melee ME in the back and get an instant kill. There’s no excuse for Destiny-like Peer to Peer server garbage from a fucking Halo PvP game.

IF there are algorithms. So still…. nothing proven either way.

Agreed. However the linked article has the same problem with unprovable assumptions. At least in the way they described it to this amateur. The thing that stuck out to me the most was their assertion that everything must be algorithmic in nature. I would say, as someone living in the supposed simulation, it is impossible to determine something we’ve seen or measured is NOT algorithmic in nature, because we have no access to the algorithms.

But yeah… this ain’t a showerhought.

That’s just Discord. Thats how they do all dev to player comms in the beta.

Sorry, best we can do is 18 choices of Pop Tart flavors.

Speak for yourself. In my life I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time thinking about what goes in those pockets.

What’s the benefit of Opus 256? Haven’t heard of that before.

MP3s and FLAC. The only thing the services offer that’s even remotely useful is finding new music that I might like but… gasp I was doing that before the internet, too.

And the one you make at home is always better anyway. Just requires more labor.

They don’t even think about that.

If they thought they could get away with shooting brown people and liberals in the streets, they would be.

They’re still working up to it, while the opposition leadership sits on their hands and whimpers, for the most part.

I don’t care about how well it works (or doesn’t, but we all know how fallible it is). The social and ethical costs are simply too high, and people using it are either uninformed or have no functioning conscience.

Some people just do. not. learn.

Fucking with people’s food is never funny.

Well…. bye.

Interesting article. The headline is not clickbait. I’ve only been using Linux as a daily driver for about 18 months but I learned something from the issues he laid out.

Get ready. Fights coming.

It sounds like you’re having trouble containing yourself.

You seem to want to win a battle against an internet troll. The only way to do that is to starve them.
