The greek gods are basically how a regular person would react if given godlike power too, yeh you might try and make thigns better at first but eventually unlimited power would mean unlimited boredom and you’d end up using magic to troll people which is basically the greek gods main passtime when they’re not focussing on one specific person.
- Comment on Sword Art Online being a primarily single player series 2 weeks ago:
Even in the anime the random skills are just horribly balanced, doesn’t he end up being forced to join that guild after a duel where he’s objectively the better fighter but the guild leader just has a random ‘actually I can stop time’ skill?
- Comment on Indie dev defends criticism of Steam refund abuse amid review bombing of his game: 'It's wrong to refund a game after having fun with it and completing it' 2 weeks ago:
The prisoners dilema is a worst case scenario as you can have an infinite number of prisoners but just one can create the worst possible scenario for everyone else, the commons generally has the ability to sustain a couple of selfish people without breaking down. Everyone has their own threshold for how much abuse of shared resources they can tolerate before they too will begin to abuse those resources out of self preservation, society stops working properly when that process hits a tipping point that makes it self sustaining so it encompassas everyone.

Disproven multiple times, though actually something of a real life memetic hazard as people who are taught the tragedy of the commons tend to then act as if it was real thus causing it to be real. Its basically a way for rich sociopaths to justify their own behaviour by convincing other people to act the same way.

This is why I keep a good chunk of my steam library downloaded locally and don’t buy always-online required games.

Super Mario World That game is like 50% secrets and still Nintendos best work IMO.
- Comment on If Steam were to shut down tomorrow how much money would you have lost in total on games / DLC ?? 4 weeks ago:
I have FTL and Into The Breach installed so even if the rest of my library vanishes I think I’ll be alright.

Except these people are turning around and burningdown the libraries once they’ve read all the books.

The US was doing horrific shit 20 years ago, 20 years from now it will still have been doing horrific shit 20 years ago.
- Comment on To cosmic shreds, I say! 5 weeks ago:
iirc the experiment was verifying that anti-matter falls downward in gravity? otherwise it still functions physically rather like time-reversed matter. Unless anti-matter is time-reversed and has reversed gravity in which case it would also seem to obey normal gravity because we would see it under the effect of anti-gravity but backwards?

Eventually? Caught? I think you mean immediately, and with no mention of it ever made by british courts.

A relatively small part of England around London is the only part of the UK that the ‘UK’ ever really cared about.

Our core is also just huge, the outer core is larger than the moon and mercury.

I guess that could work? Earth is actually the densest planet in the solar system so our baseline mass > size ratio might actually be a bit abnormal.

Iirc near that +50% level you end up needing a saturn 5 to launch sputnik, so its more expensive to the degree that it might just be deamed unfeasable, at least at the technology level humans started launching rockets at.

The problem is you can’t have mountains like that on tectonically active planets (a mountain that big on earth would sink into the mantle), which is kind of a prequisite for a long-term magnetosphere so its unfortunately not something a species could likely ever have except as a result of terraforming a world like mars and setting up some kind of artificial magnetosphere.
- Comment on When if ever did "Throw Money at The Problem:" actually work? Instead of being about 75 percent useless? 3 months ago:
Major infastructure projects (in certain countries) tend to turn into infinitely deep money pits due to rampant mismangment and corruption that can swallow the entire budgets of smaller nations and still not get done. They tend to drag down the average.
- Comment on Borderlands 4′s New $30 Expansion Pack Isn’t Winning Over Fans 3 months ago:
The vibe of the first one was so good, I think 2/3 had more fun characters in terms of just having interesting/fun kits but the first game will always be my favourite for the overall tone.

I believe there is a generator with functional prototypes in the US and China that uses supercritical CO2? I mean its basically a steam engine but using a different medium and potentially even more efficient.

Even then all of them but solar are just spinning a wheel.
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 4 months ago:
I find the actual problems they face to be more organic than other series, there’s always at least a semi-good reason why the threat of the week is occuring rather than something stupid like flying through enemy territory with no shields or someone rando just beaming out your ships main computer being a huge weakness that no one ever thought might be a problem.

Except I can percieve a curve to the horizon, then walk to the point that was previously horizon and percieve that curve continues, thus drawing the conclusion that the curve must continue all the way round.

From the reviews I saw it didn’t help that starfield looked and played like a skyrim sci-fi mod that leaned into the Bethesda loading screen meme on purpose.

On the nostalgia front I just want to say I’ve never been into metroidvanias and never played any kind of metroid game before, I tried metroid zero mission an hour ago and I’m already hooked. These games are just genuinely good. Not dunking on newer games I play those a lot too, just saying not everything new is better and I’d love to see some kind of happy middle ground.
- Comment on Abolishing trial by jury: why is the government overlooking the obvious? 5 months ago:
I was under the impression that jury trials have a higher false conviction rate so this is actually a win? Then again its the UK so I’m sure some way will be found to fuck it up.

Any literate person can do that? Despite the public education systems best efforts to train us all in such a manner as to overly to pad everything out with an excessive quantity of superfluous filler words, many of which add nothing to the information communicated and may even continue long after the point is made.
