  Tell me you’ve never studied history without telling me you’ve never stufied history.

  No, there isn’t. At all. What so ever. A soldier is merely a tool by a state that may or may not (and historically NOT) have good intentions.

  A soldier is first and foremost instructed to FOLLOW ORDERS. Not because of some nefarious plot to use people, but because doubt on the battlefield can mean a weakness ripe for exploitation.

  A soldier is a TOOL, not a freedom fighter.

  A flippant joke based on a perspective I’m not even referencing does not in any eay what so ever mean I am wrong.

  I wouldn’t call a pathological aversion to sex a kink. It’s also not shaming to simply point out the existence of those who are grossed out by it for some reason or another.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, and USB-C is barely a decade old. Computer science, y’know the thing it’s all meant to benefit, is over a century old. There is a MOUNTAIN of standards we’re all standing on, whether or not you care to admit it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  No, you misunderstand the scope of standards I’m referencing. Computer science goes back over a century, yet you’re attempting to tell me there are no established standards based on something that’s barely even a decade old as a consumer product standard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes I know the joke. My point is that it is only true for the developing front of engineering. Everyone is syill, in fact, standing on a mountain of well established and followed standards while debating the future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re using ONE example to say the entire industry is full of shoddy work and overruns, when I’ve already described several mechanisms that artificially balloon the costs in the first place. You can continue to pretend you’re correct, but you’re simply not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  That already happend and- oh you already said fuck Nintendo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  No way, it’s a MASSIVE pile of standards. The entire internet and networking in general only functions because of standards. HTML5’s main benefit was standardizing a ton of BS everyone was playing around with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes it has been mentioned multiple times across the entire discussion. Besides, most people imagine containment breach when they think of nuclear disaster anyways, so it is absolutely not hyperbole to point out that it literally cannot happen.

  Your attitude is similar to the fools who freaked out when they heard Fukushima was releasing yons of “contaminated” water in to the ocean. Water that is less radioactive than many natural places around the planet. Water you could swim in every day of your life and still live just fine.

  The fear mongering is absolutely real and the ignorance about newer technology is staggering.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s existed long enough that serious effects would’ve been obvious by now. Multiple generations have already passed. Multiple. It is already clearly not as serious as lead or mercury regardless of what effects are found.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  If it was going to be as bad as fearmongers want it to be, absolutely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Nautal in no way what so ever should imply more healthy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  No you’re just ignorantly wrong. New plants, even ones built around the same time as Chornobyl, are LITERALLY INCAPABLE of breaking in the same ways. This entire discussion is filled with ignorant people speaking confidantly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s literally impossible with modern designs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can somebody please explain why the world hasn't gone nuclear yet?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They do not take that long to build. At all. Besifes, most of the build time is because of red tape, like requiring a plant to be FULLY DESIGNED, reviewed, and approved by multiple bodies before they can even break ground on one in the US.

  It is red tape and fear mongering, not an actual feature of nuclear power itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No, people knew lead was poisonous even back near Roman days. Though just like how humans constantly do stupid things for some benefit, they kept using it as a sweetener for ages.

  Also mercury in relation to, “as mad as a hatter”. It’s just mercury was very good for the job.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pop it in your calendars⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ouch. I didn’t even know either were on the switch. Ironic that the first ran well because they had a good bit of performance issues with it in beta. Though mostly around efficiently streaming assets while moving around, which I’m sure a cart is much faster than old spinny HDDs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pop it in your calendars⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, if only they had thrown in the extra effort! Maybe we’d be here heralding it as a worthy successor instead of identifying the low hanging fruit still on the branch. lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pop it in your calendars⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh I know what you mean from a development standpoint (remixing the map would be a huge effort), but I still find it a kinda’ copout excuse. I bet we’d be here heralding the design instead of lambasting it if they took the time to really mix the biomes together peoperly once they had the assets complete.

  In fact, I remember some early early access games doing exactly that: basically having demos that were WAY different than the final product. Ugh I wish I remembered any names, though such effort in to game development was over a decade ago, when some companies still treated it like an actual art form instead of a money vessel…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pop it in your calendars⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea but what are executive responsibilities to a company? They generally are not creative and dynamic positions and instead focus on producing results for the corporate body. I could readily see Krafton firing them for trying to make a fun and compelling game as opposed to a profitable game ripe for DLC, for example. Of course they’d couch such money grubbing expectations in to language of the managerial class…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pop it in your calendars⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it actually smaller, though?

  Don’t get me wrong, I fully agree in spirit, it just seems like several aspects royally screwed over the map design so it felt much smaller.

  1. The bay being the main area where you started meant everything felt far more like linear progression regardless of where one wandered to.
  2. The island bifurcating the bay made the bay itself far more prominent, isolated, and greatly reduced how many under water biomes were simply ‘there’ to explore. You always HAD to wander out to get to some other under water biome, of which there were only, what? three?
  3. Most later game biomes were solo, single entrance offshoots of the already limited ‘main’ areas. This made them feel much more like explicitly added game assets instead of areas you’d just wander in to while exploring.
  4. The story and the game design itself seemed to want the on-land biome to be more cool than it was. It was ONE biome, and not even the type of biome that the game is known for.
  5. The sea truck is cool in concept, but when every area is disparate and isolated, it SUCKED to drive a loaded truck to any of them.
  6. The “AI” companion (and really, the story over all) totally and completely popped the isolated explorative feeling of the game.

  Basically, the basic design of the map and story ran completely counter to everything that made the first such an amazing experience.

  You cannot. It’s either felt, or they’re shitspawn to be flushed.

  I dunmo’ man, I gotta’ agree with Darth Helmit: “Evil will always triumph because good is dumb”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would remain for a future species if humans were to vanish tomorrow?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  More than they’re going to get otherwise. Also this is a series of questions, not a shower thought.

  It is pure conjecture to say any other “intelligent” and industrious species would arise, but many modern constructions would have little to no sign of existence. Any metal, even most stainless steels, would be rusted away or buried many feet deep after millions of years. Even plastics and cement would be deteriorated enough that there would mostly just be the greatly disturbed strata that would give big clues that something either catastrophic or massively industrious happened. Only very rare areas that are geologically stable and have low corrosion would have much of a chance to retain anything recognizable, like how only some cave paintings are still around today.

  So, maybe a couple military bases might retain enough structure to piece some things together, but it’ll still be a mess by the time another equivalently self-centered intelligent species comes about.
