- Comment on The RTS genre will never be mainstream unless you change it until it's 'no longer the kind of RTS that I want to play,' says Crate Entertainment CEO 6 days ago:
Hell, I should be able to upload an economic playbook with hundreds of rules like the one you described, and load it on game start. Then all I have to do is the actual unit movements.
- Comment on Perfect Dark Reboot Is Allegedly In Bad Shape 1 week ago:
I’d love to see a scientific study that shows this, if the effect really does exist.
- Comment on Perfect Dark Reboot Is Allegedly In Bad Shape 1 week ago:
It’s easy to remember just the successes of the past and ignore the fact that the vast majority of media then was shit too… we’ve simply forgotten about the things that ended up being mediocre. Survivorship bias is really really strong.
- Comment on With two Boeing whistleblowers dead in one month, either Boeing is actively killing them, or there are enough whistleblowers that this rate of death is not statistically significant 2 weeks ago:
The hitman just coughed on him. Devious.

Nah you did good explaining it in detail, nice work.
- Comment on Had me for a while there 3 weeks ago:
It wouldn’t look the same, but the US could domestically produce enough food and energy to sustain itself.

Because they’re not familiar with the concept of doing whatever the fuck you want.
- Comment on fossil fuels 4 weeks ago:
For sure, they optimize for profits, and that means being irresponsible with the world.
Let’s take meat for example. It’s not like a ranch is going to raise and slaughter millions of cattle just for the lulz. If nobody is buying it, there’s no economic incentive and the problem goes away.
Consumers are unwilling to change to more expensive, ethical products. It follows that corporations are unwilling to produce them. Until something like lab meat becomes cheaper and easier than natural meat, this will persist. This could be done through taxes on natural meat, (maybe a methane emissions tax).
But consumers hold all the power here. They could simply switch to eating less meat and the producers would automatically correct themselves. You just can’t convince people to do it.
- Comment on fossil fuels 4 weeks ago:
Well, in the US trains probably aren’t an option. But you’re exactly right. The reason corporations pollute is because we buy their stuff.
- Comment on fucking beautiful. almost a year into the 'verse and its starting to become more functional than that R place... better than i imagined. 4 weeks ago:
The only thing Reddit still has is certain very active niche communities, but we do great on the more general stuff.
- Comment on Killing the Middlemen in the Rideshare Industry 4 weeks ago:
That’s a great idea, if someone can bring the software and enough advertising to make it successful. It’s really hard but possible.

These look like dollar store Hogwarts student names.
- Comment on Pro-Palestinian protesters light US flag on fire in NYC 4 weeks ago:
Why is this news? That’s a long recognized form of free speech and protest.
- Comment on D&D makers also want a Baldur’s Gate 4, but say they won't rush to a sequel (it shouldn't take 25 years, mind) 4 weeks ago:
The best possible scenario is to hand them Star Wars and say “go make a billion dollars”.
But honestly I’m happy even if they keep rolling with their own IP.

Good. Let their stranglehold die.
- Comment on ‘My hoo haa is gonna be out’: US Olympians slam Nike for skimpy women’s track kit 4 weeks ago:
That pattern on TV will create awful moire patterning. Terrible design in general.

Me too! High fives all around!
- Comment on E A Rth! E A Rth! 5 weeks ago:
We call a weak-ass event like this a transit, because it doesn’t even deserve to be an eclipse.
- Comment on Tennessee legislature passes bill banning marriage between first cousins 5 weeks ago:
I tend to agree. There’s only minor biological issues with marrying a cousin, around a 3% increase in birth defects if my quick google is correct. It’s only a cascading problem like people expect when it happens over and over in the same family tree… (or should I say family stick?)

One of my favorite franchises! It’ll be an instant buy from me.

- Comment on Homeowner baffled after washing machine uses 3.6GB of internet data a day 1 month ago:
Anyone I know who’s actually deep into cybersecurity avoids extra devices, including smartphones. If you’re not hyper paranoid, you’ve missed the majority of what the nation states are up to.

Switched strats to focus on a culture victory.

It’s always been like that, but I don’t think the solution is to remove all women from anime…

The deepfakes don’t work on men? That could be fixed pretty easily…
- Comment on SpaceX is reportedly building a $1.8 billion network of spy satellites for US intelligence 1 month ago:
Elon barely does anything at SpaceX these days. No doubt this deal is being run by Shotwell instead.
- Comment on Do straight lines and flat planes exist in nature? 1 month ago:
Graphene is a great example of a planar molecule, within 1 atom of tolerance.
- Comment on SpaceX is reportedly building a $1.8 billion network of spy satellites for US intelligence 1 month ago:
Exactly my point. YOU don’t need a surveillance network. The US government DOES. And what do you know, this constellation was purchased by the US military, and is entirely for their exclusive use.
This constellation is being purchased from SpaceX but is not going to be operated by SpaceX. I’m not sure why everyone thinks this is the same as Starlink as if it were a consumer product.
- Comment on SpaceX is reportedly building a $1.8 billion network of spy satellites for US intelligence 1 month ago:
This is a huge network (hundreds) of very low orbit satellites, making surveillance far closer to realtime, with more global coverage, with presumably a higher resolution. Since there are so many of them they’re also more resistant to anti-satellite weapons than traditional surveillance assets.
Remember that the existing Keyhole satellites are basically the same build as the Hubble Space Telescope, meaning fewer, larger, more expensive satellites. This is a huge leap in capability.

You don’t think that listening to subject matter experts is a wise way to determine truth? By all means, enlighten us with a more consistent strategy.
