Have you played them? How are they?

The standpoint of "everyone else isn't helping to solve the problem, so it can't be done and therefore we don't have to try" is sensical only if the problem is just an inconvenience. Global warming is that for now, but is eventually going to be apocaliptic if not stopped; so the fact that other countries are not making an effort is a futher reason why we should. On that note, helping the European Union become more industrailly powerful will help in the long run, since it's member countries are already diminishing their emissions. I don't know how much Russia cares about the enviroenment, but if they do even a bit, USA, Russia and EU together could have the power to sideline China and India from the global market until they reign in their pollution.

Don't give them the benefit of doubt

It's functionally indistinguishable from how you would act if you didn't have sources. Speaking of sources, I have studied computer engineering I know how microchips and other circuits actually work, but even if you had studied biology to a high-school level you'd know that the idea of controlling someone through microchips in their bloodstream is nonsense, because the brain is separated from the circulatory system by a barrier that lets through only oxygen, nutrients, and hormones: any "microchip" would be both too big and too extraneous to pass through. And before you bring up drugs, the reason they work is because they resemble molecules our body actually uses to give feedback to the brain, so they can pass through. If you'd gotten curious and looked up how the brain actually works, you'd know that we barely understand what certain areas are responsible for, because not only is it too complex to model like we would a computer, but also because it changes constantly as it learns and grows. So "hacking" it is not really possible.

Have you looked at their earlier posts? This has been a shit flinging contest from the beginning.

Such an articulated and profound response. I see why it took you so long to compose it.

Don't get me started on that. Here in Italy you can be visited by a doctor and receive medicines, tests and surgeries for free, and still people cry that "Big Medicine" is out to get us. It's like hearing a toddler throwing a tantrum because they don't want to take a bath.

Not really: this was a clumsy attempt at a coup, the "hobo invasion" would have been more like a gigantic sit-in.

Because thay don't, dipshit. Also since you insist, Islam and Hebraism are just as absurd as christianity and watever it is you believe in. Speaking of which You don't get it: I don't think you're a robot, I know, bacuase of what you said, that you're a hypocrite; and I want to spell it out for whomever else might be reading, since they might not want to read the murder on the eyes that are your rants.

Then you are violating the second commandement on purpose. Either you're lying about bing a christian or you're too selfish to be a good one. See you in hell.

The people who "REEE" the hardest about this issue are out of touch, fat, gun-toting, bible-thumping, internet-poisoned boomers like Alex Jones. Your rant has to put you in the top 10 though. And about your assumption that atheists are selfish, why do you, who ostensibly believe that all your action and thoughts should reflect love for your fellow man, show no concern about the decline of earth's enviroement?

what kind of control scheme?

If you don't want to ruin your childhood, don't. Let Shenmue rest in the pink mist of nostalgia.

Hmm, difficult decision, but there are six games that really impacted me jostling for that position. Ordered by when I played them, they are: Red Faction Guerrilla. I found it in a Gamestop's bargain bin for 1 euro, and brought home the first and only game to have complete building destructibility. The only conceivable fault of this game are the cringey cutscenes, but they're rare and always under a minute, then it's back to rigging condos to fall on convoys, ramming through buildings to save the hostages within, "stealthily" taking down guards through walls with a sledgehammer, and demolishing skyscrapers with HE missiles. Lonely Star. This little indie caught me by surprise at every turn: I thought it'd be just kinda neat, but I found magical realism, well-realized combat that is both technical and hectic, a story that swerves in the psychedelic and magical while never losing sight of reality and mundane human concerns, and the raddet music a one-man team has ever made. Don't be scared away by the fact that it's technically a Demo: it's a complete short game in it's own right. Supraland. As I've said before, this is a really good puzzle-metroidvania, but the reason it's so cool is that it's so much bigger than it looks: it's an explorer's paradise, and the secrets aren't dinky little secret rooms either. Far Point. My first VR game (specifically for PSVR), and a good medium-length FPS with a well realized story. Long before Half-Life Alyx, this game let me experience the visceral scare of having a headcrab jump at my face. Disco Elysium. I loved the art and it's special system for tying together personality and skills ever since I saw it's webpage, and was delighted to see it would come out that same year. I played it non-stop from release to finale and was awed by every second. The big gutpunch moment really had me cry in shock: the first and last moment a game managed such a feat. Everything about this game feels awesome and miraculous. Umurangi Generation. This game is cool in the most literal sense: the music, the NPCs, the expressive photography you do, even the developer himself (ThorHighHeels) ooze a quirky, cunter-cultural air of cool.

Antisocial people like what you describe are the most likely to insert themselves in a political or scientific discussion to attract attention and feel important. Their antics are ridicuolus and can be used to discredit the side they attached themselves to, so they get memed and distorted to look even worse. You'll find people like these on all sides of any issues, like Alex Jones and other fat sweaty gun-toting bible-thumping boomers reeee-ing over any show of concern for the enviroement or the wellbeing of minorities and the working class.

I'm having trouble picturing how that would work: how is the state supposed to provide services if it doesn't receive resources from it's citizenry?

No that would have been atrocious

I just reached the first ending of The Witness. I wasn't as disappointed as most people seem to be with the game, and I actually liked most of the puzzles, as well as how the island is very good for exploration and has its biomes transition into each other seamlessly despite the limited size - I'm probaly going to revisit it as a lesson in open world design - and I particularly liked how a few meters of mountin trail really do feel like those I can find in my area. I was, however, very disappointed when I learned that the explanation for all the mysterious things I found around the island broke the fourth wall; they painted an intresting picture which I would have liked to fill in.

This episode really showacases how much Ross hates christmas videogames. At this point I'd advise you to do like Mandalore and just do whatever game you like.

I played some Unreal Gold as well, as well as some other retro shooters and new "boomer shooters". I discovered I like the interconnected structure of most levels and the tricks that were used to make them look like real places. I also realized that I hate how the later enemies all tend to be tough, agile, and hit hard as well; pick two, dammit! I feel like I'm having no effect while I get slapped aroud!

You're overlooking that there are people who are desperate enough that they will do it regardless, those who live paycheck to paycheck and at any given moment must use whatever instrument is availeable to get some money, no matter how little the profit margin or how great the risk, inconvenience, or humiliation. What those people need is a viable and more stable alternative, not negative feedback

Sseth here! I don't usually play his sort of games because they have too little story content for my taste, but Caves of Qud looked like it had what I looked for. It does have a bit, but not enough, but I often find new things that keep my interst going. I think I'll learn to mod it just to add some dialogue and story content which I feel should have been included already.

Ommioddio sei arrivato alla stagione 2! Ho scoperto adesso la tua iniziativa, ma non pensavo fosse così duratura. Quali altri italiani ci sono sul forum?
