I think there is room for debate on that. The last I read something like 50% of the US population games (although most don’t self-identify as a “gamer”, probably due to negative connotations).

It would be fascinating if they actually knew each other and the reason the guy was so dismissive of the whole (admittedly not useful) cave-sub thing was because they have a long-standing beef. I mean... it struck me as odd that the guy was so adamantly dismissive of anything that drew much needed attention to an…

Is that Fallout 76 in the headline picture?

Let’s be very explicit about what Black is suggesting here: that a movement against abuse is also responsible for the redemption of those abusers.

FREEDOM FROM TYRRANY!!!!

...at a rate of one per minute...

If we put more strict (rational?) federal-level gun control laws in place and spent the next few decades running buy back programs we would assuredly change that ratio dramatically. No reasonable person expects guns to disappear overnight... nor should they, IMHO. There are still people that have good reason to carry…

That illustrates that banning guns in a single city (surrounded by other cities) does little to nothing.

My concern is that the trolls writing this sort of stuff in-game are probably among the only people delighted to see (if not read) an article like this.

So... you’re lumping all of the thousands of distinct police forces across our nation in to one big group?

Setting that bit of over-generalized idiocy aside... the average person can make a much larger difference from within an institution than from without. If you actually want things to change for the better you…

I think that the people playing that (there are a few still) would happily give up the waves for... you know... a game. I would not be shocked if they revealed their production budget and 90%+ of it was spent on just that water.

Wow is 14 years old... they released a expansion, not a new game.

...while he’s turning somebody else’s personal tragedy into content

Purchases are gambles with risks and moral decisions with sweeping ramifications.

Understatement of the year (decade? millenia?).

But we already have a (severely underfunded) NASA, and DARPA for the R&D aspect. And the Air Force Space Command for the military admin aspect.

Seen any space conflicts break out lately?

I imagine they would be focused on advancing the relevant technologies and establishing the (for better or worse) necessary bureaucracies... if space-based warfare is inevitable then we should actually want our government to be in the race (hopefully somewhere near the head of the pack).

I totally admit that imagining…

You are probably right. I know Duke Nukem used the room duplication trick. I was actually thinking of Half Life mirrors when I wrote my reply.

Sort of.

Beef is problematic in Japan... they can’t source anywhere close to local and the demand is already pretty high (so they are forced to establish their own supply chains rather than utilizing existing). It shouldn’t be an insurmountable problem for a company like McDonalds but it’s far from simple. It’s not as thought…
