The utopia of Star Trek was only able to happen because they had a WWIII and the communists won

That’s a pretty high caliber shot to miss the point with

And CO2

I never forgot that I had Warframe but I just got back into it after 7 years of not playing and it’s still great.

Can we meaningfully say that performance has improved over time when games are getting more graphically intensive and wasting all that potential? I would say a Nintendo DS running Tetris has more performance than a PS5 running that new Bethesda game

Yeah, we ran into that one the other day. Maybe not if they updated it in the last few days. But it was still very frustrating to my friend who already has frustration issues with Warframe. (These issues have been alleviated with the addition of crossfriends)

My partner just played the Second Dream for the first time, spoiler free, and it said the amount of plot and twists happening in a short duration was absolutely overwhelming. Some people might not care to experience Warframe’s story in order, but I think they should still be given an informed choice. DE needs to put a big spoiler warning in front of Duviri when you launch the game. And I think efforts would be better spent getting Natah and Second Dream closer to the start of the game than creating a new player experience for Warframe 2: Duviri. I’m sure it wouldn’t be hard to create a plot contrivance to let players visit Uranus for Natah before they’ve unlocked it, and then you can just push the quests to some earlier junctions instead of putting new quests in front of those junctions and slowing down the path to Second Dream.

That sounds dangerous. Most people don’t reach their ideas through reason. I don’t want to lose empathy for all humanity no matter how ignorant they are.

You need to watch Glass Onion

Yeah, so why is Bill Gates 5G microchip the conspiracy? Why not Elon Musk Starlink Neuralink? There is an actual evil mad scientist selling the technologies they are actually scared of, why don’t they just point their fears at the actual danger?

In my country, your birth certificate has both your deadname and your new name on it if you changed your name. When I signed up for PayPal, I had already transitioned, so I put in my current, legal name. PayPal asked for proof that I am who I claim to be, to prevent fraud. Fair enough, I gave them my birth certificate. They looked at it, and then changed the name on my account to my deadname, which was no longer my legal name. When I told them to change it back, they said I’d have to submit a change of name form.

I knew Musk was transphobic sooner than most of the public did after that experience.

I was just talking to my friend who played Saya’s Vigil right after they made it a requirement to get to Venus, and she’s dipped her toes into Duviri, but she says she had no idea that Duviri is full of spoilers. I had to pull a single sentence out of the marketing for Duviri paradox to show her. That sentence is “all Tenno can choose to begin at the ending and play The Duviri Paradox”. That’s all the warning new players get that Duviri hints at the Operator, straight up spoils the Zariman, lets you do Transference… Duviri isn’t a “quick-start” option, Duviri is Warframe 2. A whole other game, that anyone can get and start playing, with its own new player experience, but which assumes every spoiler from the previous is out of the bag and just tells you all of them to get you up to speed.

A teenager who plays a violent video game is not engaging in an act of violence as recognised by his brain. He is not going into a fight or flight response and getting trauma from the experience as he would in a real fight. His brain doesn’t think he’s in a fight.

When you masturbate, your body goes through the same chemical and neurological processes as if you were really having sex.

Is it good?

Ooh, can you tell me some?

I got bored of Elite Dangerous when I remembered I don’t like trucking simulators.

Anyway, No Man’s Sky is more fun.
