Hey this isn't exactly the threads' first derail, this will all pass when something worth posting about comes up. I don't mind derails, I'll do fat chat, cat chat, bat chat - have we done bat chat? Like the mammal? They're really cool. They're all better than VAT chat, that one I won't touch with a ten-foot keyboard. Also the recent forums drama's kind of defanged FYAD's main talking point, they'll be back once it feels fresh again

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:Two sides to that equation code:quote:Also there are literal tons of idiots who stand too close to you in lines or are pathologically fat or whine about their access to females because they never "suffered" the societal pressure to behave in any other way. quote:Saying it can't be helped is total bullshit, the evidence for differing behavior over time and across cultures is pretty solid, also there are working treatments for obesity and smoking that granted don't work every time but saying "nah we just wait until Clarence ruins his body and is forced to consider change on his own" is just baffling, what idiot thinks that really I'm not saying it can't be helped, I'm saying you won't help them. Unless they come to the conclusion that being overweight is no longer in their interest you won't achieve anything by "subtly encouraging them to diet without them noticing it".  Unless your idea of "helping" them is pilling up on that "societal pressure" every time you go out with them until you destroy whatever is left of their self-esteem with your "subtle hints" that they should stop being disgusting sacks of lard. Even so the most likely result would be they stop hanging out with you because you'd be a piece of poo poo toxic "friend". Rule of thumb for when someone you know has a trait their are obviously aware of: Does it affect you negatively? No > mind your own business Yes > stop hanging out with them I used to weight about 0.3Bens and I didn't decide to diet because my friends pressured me, I decided to diet because I got out of breath climbing the stairs to the 3rd floor when I visited my parents. I still smoke, no amount of friends demanding I stopped smoking would make me stop, it would just make me stop going out with them. Tijuana Bibliophile posted:You're saying threatening to leave fatso because he's ugly as all hell is one of two ways to encourage change, the other being to wait and hope he gets worse?

That is why when people speculate if the "True Believahs" may off themselves when CIG collapses, I just don't care. Not one bit. If they are hinging their entire identity and life over a video game? That's natural loving selection at work in real time. That kind of mental illness needs to be culled from the gene pool.

So, r≈2000 km — a little bit more than the Moon; a lot less than Mercury; not even twice that of Pluto. That's pretty pathetic in comparison with the scale of “space”, and even on the off chance that it is actually realised at some point, it is already readily beaten by games such as E:D, NMS, and EVE.

Well, judging by the average age of people who grew up loving Wing Commander, they probably already have kids. I just hope some of these people get the help they need.

He's missing the point. 50M Sq kilometer without any point of interest is just scenery. Its a big nothing without gameplay. Hutton Orbital [url](http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Alpha_Centauri/Hutton_Orbital)[/url] has a reputation in E:D because of the lenght of boring friendship drive travel you have to do to reach it. Flying over terrain is fun for an hour of two, after that it turn into NMS. Tl;Dr : Players travel long distance for the fun at the destination, not the travel time.

Hutton Orbital (and indeed E:D in general) also conveniently illustrates the other side of the coin: that vastness as spectacle only works if it exists in contrast to something more sensible. If it's all large, then largeness is the norm and has no added value.

So are they planning lol, like they play anything on have survival mechanics at all times? Meaning that your space commando will constantly need to be fed and hydrated or else you'll die? Or is it only when you crash land on a planet or moon? I can't wait to start my own Big Benny's franchise, delivering space noodles to stranded commandos.

B'tak seriously wants SC.exe to hunt and kill any other processes on the computer running at the same time, to prevent anyone from using Skype, Discord or god forbid IRC to gain an NON-INGAME advantage over him, something he fears so much he's gonna get a refund otherwise.

There might be AAA games with that, but show me a AAAA game with that much!  Nobody has ever had the intelligence or ambition to suggest a video game where you can do everything and be everything in a full scale universe. That's what we call vision.  These things take time! Just a little more time! And a little more money!
