Saw the trailer awhile back, glad to hear it’s along the lines I expected. I really want to see this.

it’s obviously a little poetic, but the words are meant to evoke the theme of low fi info tech hardware. it’s a similar term to bitcrush which is a distortion effect that evokes the timbre of music produced on older computer hardware (aka chiptunes)

I will note that the types of systems you’re proposing get selectively enforced. We need drivers’ licenses because poor driving kills people, but selective enforcement picks on racialized people. Introducing a demerit system based on “following the rules” and “how well you’re behaving” just screams of a system in…

The question is, is it a fair slice of the pie, given the variables:

If your goal was to write something deeply, hilariously embarrassing, congratulations.

My bad I was quoting and generally replying to Scelestus

And it’d serve as a warning to all the other degenerates out there: don’t do this shit.

the energy is in the potential energy in the mass put on the train at the top of the hill, it is converted to kinetic energy when the train is going down the hill, some of which is stored when braking the train (on friction breaks this energy would be converted to heat and sound, ie wasted) and then converted back to…

no one will read their stuff unless they say something mean

Which was available to try in beta, and anybody who bought it could have spent 10 minutes at launch confirming that it was a stripped down, bare bones travesty in the bajillion critical reviews. The reason they can get away with it is because people bought the game before they knew they’d be happy with it, not because…

Sure, it’s later that I would have liked, but it all looks good to me. A little unfortunate that listening to people whine about it - particularly in game - has become part of the experience. The game itself is a shitload of fun and as it stands today isn’t any more rough than any of the other BFs approaching a year…

our body is a huge orchestra of electromechanical parts constructed by “software” that get copied and those copies get random shit changed, so basically if it’s possible, it can happen, it’s merely a matter of probabilities. it is indeed pretty wild, and ironically mutations also result in changes that increase evoluti…

“whatabout this other problem” false dichotomies are a poster child for intellectually dishonest tacks

Not at all. I’m not thinking about the poor families. I think it would just put you face to face with human beings, which would force you to reconcile your lousy math skills with actual factual details about their lives. Mostly I just feel bad for you. You’re weak. You need things to be simple or else you get…

It would be fun to listen to you try and convince the families of people who’ve been hit by trains that they were unproductive members of society and they had it coming. Not that I think you’d actually manage to put your money where your mouth was if the opportunity arose.

.... and there it is, in hotfix 4.1.1 :D

That would be incorrect. The only reason you don’t feel like you know intelligent, productive people around you who’ve taken risky decisions is because statistically, a risky decision like trying to walk over train tracks or passing on a hill or any of the other risky choices like that is because they don’t do it all…

People playing chicken with a train is not only a tragedy (for the people who know them mind you - your death wouldn’t be a tragedy to me, but it would be to somebody else I hope) but it’s expensive. When people die, it costs society, both in lost productivity as the dead person can no longer work, in the costs it…

I enjoy pointing out hypocrisy as much as the next guy, but the rebuttal to that is that they’re taking money from people who give it to them, not money from government services. Mind you, if some of these people are taking unemployment insurance or are on benefits, that’s some real hypocrisy, but I think we’re…

a more sincere statement would have been “make baby formula shortages worse by possibly preventing the sale of formula that does not pass safety inspections” which .. yeah, you can see why he can’t actually spell it out in order to sell what’s he trying to sell
