I’d be curious about the AI’s maximum actions per second compared to a human. That might be more telling about its ability to micro. It could use less actions on average, but still be using short bursts of inhumanly fast control to maximize outcomes of a key encounter.

You’re talking about a survivable light side. This is worse, it’s a frozen dark side and an unsurvivably hot light side, with only a temperate twilight band in the middle. Half of this band would be dawn and the other half dusk, separated by the poles, which would be more or less unaffected. The band would be moving…

I thought the same. Was wondering if anyone else remapped the buttons like me. Pro controller, A-Jump, B-Attack, X/Y-Special. Everything else default.

Apparently the incorrect cap cost happens when you move while trying to place your CAMP. If you cancel when you find a spot, then do it again without moving, it should charge the right amount.

Avoiding using a base entirely would be tough, and you’d really be shooting yourself in the foot, but you can be extremely minimalist and get all the benefits. Just dropping your CAMP someplace gives you a free fast travel point and 400lbs of storage. No need for electricity, beds, defenses, food, etc, since there’s…

Same, except I have no friends, so I'm rocking it solo. 

Played 7 hours straight today after work. Enjoyed the crap out of it, never witnessed any griefing. Or any pvp at all. Mostly, people would jump in and help one another to clear a site, then wander off doing whatever quest or exploring they were up to. 

I’m guessing it’s just the kind of shady sites where you click a link and it opens a completely different web site, plus 5 pop-ups from various other sites. Somebody just goes clicking through that morass and I suppose they could hit 9000 unique sites eventually.

The federal network I work on has a blocker of some sort, and that’s bad enough. I sometimes have to go looking for rather obscure technical information to sort out some bug, and fairly often encounter blocked sites. Frequently it’s because the site is gaming themed, so even though the article is technical, the site…

By my math, an initial 1k, plus 2k per year for 18 years, you’d need about 3.3% interest to hit 50k. Not too unreasonable.

Not marginal at all. Only 2% of the population get false positives, but only 5% get true positives. We know she guy a positive result, but not which. So there’s about a 28% chance it’s false (2/ (2+5)).

I never claimed it was an exact math. It’s a rough probabilistic estimate, just to support the idea the OP brought up that after some number of generations, you’ll likely have ancestors with whom you share no distinct genetic material. No idea how you’re bringing politics into that. It was just an interesting…

I didn’t explain well, but I made a small jump there. About 99.9% of human DNA is common to all humans, according to whatever source I googled. So I multiplied the 0.03125 of your total DNA from one fifth generation ancestor by the 0.001 of your total DNA that is actually distinguishable from any other human on Earth.…

That makes some sense. If you figure you get about 50% DNA from each parent, then that’s 25% for grandparents, 12.5% for third generation, 6.25% for fourth, 3.125% for fifth. Now figure that 99.9% of your DNA is common to all humans, and only 0.003125% of your DNA is uniquely from a specific fifth generation ancestor.…

I wasn’t suggesting that they intercept messages or anything so intensive. More that they are in a position to help in the form of education. When basically everyone is on their platform, it puts them in a convenient position to try giving young people a heads up about talking to internet strangers, for those who’s…

That was my first thought as well. But then I was thinking this isn’t really because they actually blame these companies for the trafficking, just that these companies are in unique positions for actually doing something to help, and are thus trying to find a way to strong-arm them into doing more. From that point of…

Right, but unless patching holes with glue is standard procedure, that should still fail a visual inspection. And one would hope there’s some kind of thorough inspection of all parts for something safety critical like a space ship. And if it is standard procedure, then that would sound like an engineering failure,…

Yeah, my guess is they just buy up licenses to a bunch of super cheap garbage content that nobody will care about, set it available if you search for it, but never actually recommend it, and call it a day. Or maybe just cut some low-rated non-European content for European audiences to tip the scales. They already have…

“Microcrack” is a hell of euphamism for a 2mm drill hole... at first I thought it meant a 2mm long crack, like a crack in a windshield, but the picture makes it clear, it’s just a straight up hole. That’s a hell of a thing to slip past QA.

Took me a few years, but I finally beat that level. Was a bit rough, but I’m hoping the skills and xp I gained along the way will help with the stage I’m starting now: married life. Going to be spending the weekend laying the groundwork for a pretty important side-quest, spouse’s immigration.
