They’re referring to the bubonic plague (aka the Black Death) which didn’t arrive in Europe until the 14th century. And yes, we would habe heard of it before then because it was highly contagious.

Or just pirate and emulate Nintendo games. They’re such scumbags that they make piracy morally correct

Games have also gotten massively cheaper due to distribute due to digital downloads being the most common, and they’re making way more sales due to gaming having a much larger audience.
The main reason these games have ridiculously inflated budgets are because execs are pushing for more management, which in turn push for oversized teams making design-by-committee out of fear of making something people don’t like. The gamin industry doesn’t get to make excuses anymore. Them being unable to reign in their development budgets aren’t our problem. They need to figure out how to offer games at a lower price, because they’re going to run out of customers willing to pay otherwise

- Comment on Even Starfield's community patch modders are growing 'disenchanted' with the sci-fi RPG, as volunteers depart in droves: 'If nobody comes forward, we may have to retire the project' 2 weeks ago:
Which is just frustrating because there’s some real improvements in mays of their usual systems elsewhere in the game. The I think the persuasion mechanics are a real step up from previous games and I’m amazed the system hasn’t been ported into Skyrim. They got flight mechanics to actually work in the Creation engine. Zero-G and low gravity works great. Gunplay and combat is even more improved over Fallout 4 (though it’s an incremental improvement over the revolutionary leap made with Fallout 4).
Imo, Starfield is mainly lacking in only a few (though critical) things. They need more than 4 fleshed-out companions, and have them for different factions; there’s a couple of NPC’s that I expected to become companions. Since they insistend on having procedurally generated content, they needed to add way more pieces to their tilesets and, more importantly, have an algorithm to stitch things together and have some actual variety. As it is right now, you get the same exact facilities copy-pasted as whole spaces with no variation. And they needed to not force you into the main storyline, or at least pull a Fallout: New Vegas and have multiple paths through the main storyline.
There’s a lot of good bones to be had in Starfield, which just makes the cock-ups more disappointing since they’ll lead to those imprpvements being abandoned

- Comment on Sea snail teeth top Kevlar, titanium as world’s strongest material 2 weeks ago:
Im just tired of people using “strong” as a catch all descriptor when it actually doesn’t mean much of anything in context.
Apparently you haven’t realized that I’m the one who pointed out that “strength” has a very specific meaning in engineering and that the article was using that definition correctly.
How about you go and contemplate the definitions of a chill pill for a while broseph
Says the guy whinging about all engineers being stupid based on one dumbnut ignoring everyones’ advice and making a shitty sub. And you’re the guy going on a rant based solely on your ignorance of engineering terms. The only one here that needs a chill pill is you

One engineer being a dipshit doesn’t invalidate the entire discipline. Especially when said engineer went to an ivy league school where a degree says more about you parent’s bank account than your actual ability
- Comment on Sea snail teeth top Kevlar, titanium as world’s strongest material 3 weeks ago:
You’re forgetting that “strength” has a formalized engineering definition, which is the amout of force (not energy or impact) a material can resist before deforming or breaking.
The other 2 properties you’re alluding to are hardness (force needed per unit of deformation) and toughness (energy absorbed before deforming or breaking. All of these are important factors when choosing materials for a particular use case.
The article is comparing the material to kevlar and spider silk, which suggests that they’re referring to tensile strength, which is a proper use case. It isn’t the paper’s fault that your are incorrectly conflating “strongest” with “best”. What’s best for any particular use case is going to be dependent on design requirements.

Honestly not sure how I should respond to this. I’d rather you either research it yourself and call me out or simply nod and follow along. But you chose this weird middle ground.
