A second user issued the weapon restriction challenge. I don’t play HD2, but apparently they specifically chose weapons that the playerbase widely agrees are underpowered, but the devs say are fine

If they’re investigating someone who doxxed a user for saying a game that’s too hard and buggy is too hard and buggy, then maybe they should hire Boeing’s PIs

Yeah I don’t remember the last time Steam users bullied someone into suicide. I can think of at least three people who’ve been killed by Reddit.

- Comment on How to I prove to someone that the U.S. moon landing wasn't staged? 3 days ago:
My go-to is to just beg them to play Kerbal Space Program
They argue that, if the moon landing could be done way back then, with modern technology, it should be possible to quickly get back to the moon.
In the 1960s, getting to the moon was the most important thing in the solar system. The Soviet Union and the US spent ungodly amounts of money and risked uncountable lives in this endeavor. We did the thing, and now we’ve done the thing. We aren’t willing to risk those lives or spend that money anymore. New missions have to be much, much cheaper and much, much safer.
Technology has definitely improved, but there is a physical limit to the amount of energy that you can pull out of a given mass of kerosene and liquid oxygen. Getting to space hasn’t gotten any lighter, and fuel mass has always been the biggest hurdle. Again, play KSP. It will brand the tyranny of the rocket equation into your soul.
They also argue NASA could have just reused the same designs as the Apollo missions if they actually went to the moon.
They could, in the same way that we could start sending children underground to mine for coal again
To summarise, a) Been there, done that. Anything new will involve sending more mass than the Apollo missions had to deal with. Tyranny of the rocket equation: more mass means more fuel means more thrusters means more mass means more fuel…
b) I could do some research and come back, but there is no answer to this that will satisfy a moon landing denier, because any explanation would require a baseline understanding of chemistry and also trust in the institutions that examine these moon rocks.
c) The answer to a also applies here

I’m not sure this is quite analagous to neuralink’s monkey experiments. That said,
So is this different only because those are human neurons?
To my mind, a neuron is a neuron. The only difference between your brain and a monkey brain is, again, the number of neurons and the structures they form. I don’t see this as any different from monkey or rat or ant or entirely digital neurons.
- Comment on there is a special place in hell for these scientists 3 days ago:
Raises uncomfortable questions about consciousness. The only difference between these neurons and your own are the number of them and the structures they form. Of course it doesn’t know what it’s doing, but… Neither do our own neurons

3.2 Concords almost sounds good. For comparison, Black Ops 2 is currently at 347 Concords
- Comment on Highguard will permanently shut down on March 12th. 5 days ago:
They should have learned from Marvel Rivals and used an already well-known IP and all the thighs and tits they can get their hands on. You can’t just make a shitty game and expect it to sell, you have to manipulate your players into thinking it’s more than just a shitty game

If ghosts were real, then I can think of a few people throughout history who would have been swarmed by them. Adolf Hitler would have approximately 13 million spirits haunting him by the end

Do you maybe want to try and converse? Instead of leaving a vague response hinting at a deeper perspective, how about you actually share that perspective? Who else do we have to fear at present, and how do you reckon rendering a file on your computer irrecoverable would protect you from them?
- Comment on The developers of PEAK, explaining how they decided on pricing for their game. 4 weeks ago:
Basically everyone thinks that, and yet the data shows that basically everyone falls for it anyway. No matter how aware of it you are, you are not immune to manipulation
- Comment on The cops pay Anon a visit 4 weeks ago:
Destroying the data on your hard drive only helps you if you think that files stored on it could incriminate you in court. ICE isn’t sending your laptop in to a special forensics technician at DHS HQ to pull the 1s and 0s off of it to generate a justification for abducting and/or shooting you. The same goes for when they make being gay or trans illegal. Standard end to end encryption is plenty enough for online communications
- Comment on The cops pay Anon a visit 4 weeks ago:
Feels like it’s easier to just not have anything on your hard drive that’s worth that much effort. I can only think of one type of file that would justify that level of obfuscation in most of the world, and I actually fully support owners of those files turning their PCs over to the police unmolested, so to speak

- Comment on Anon reality checks your fantasy 2 months ago:
Iirc, yeah basically. Marcille aged faster than other elves and slower than the other races of humans, so she basically never had friends growing up. That’s her entire motivation for going into the dungeon, she wants to find a way to equalize the race’s lifespans so that no one has to go through what she’s gone through anymore

That character is Marcille fron Dungeon Meshi, her feelings are literally what this post is about

Has nobody here read Dungeon Meshi? This post seems to be literally about Marcille’s specifically
- Comment on Anon reality checks your fantasy 2 months ago:
Presumably answering a question about why that particular elf does the things she does in Dungeon Meshi, since unifying the race’s lifespans is her goal
- Comment on Anon reality checks your fantasy 2 months ago:
This post is about Marcille’s motivation in Dungeon Meshi. Like this is literally her reason for going into the dungeon, she wants to unify the races’ lifespans so that she won’t be forced to outlive the people she loves
Dunmeshi spoilers
This is exacerbated by the fact that >!she’s a half-elf, so her lifespan is like half that of an elf, but still more than twice that of any other human race. She’ll either outlive her loved ones by hundreds of years, or be outlived by them by hundreds of years.!<
