"poo poo has somehow worked out" would be a great motto for HS 7.X if it weren't for the existence of "Holesquad on that real poo poo".

Are you finding ways to be strategically relevant, or has "for funsies" been recognized as a viable lifestyle choice?

Late to the party, but orcs actually have a highly developed culture, a fact Tolkien conceals in the text by only displaying orcs acting like warlike barbarians in an attempt to dehumanize them, as the Lord of the Rings was a racist, counterrevolutionary screed against industrialization, black people and the destruction of the 'pastoral English countryside'. Peter Jackson, who is basically Tolkien's version of Leni Riefenstahl, got a little sloppy and let the "menu" reference slip through - but that's all we need to allow us to see past the propaganda and view orcs as a sensitive, artistic people who want to overthrow the elves who have been abusing them for millenia and use their engineering talents to build steam engines, running water, toilets and other modern conveniences required to open a really good orc bistro in Mordor that serves only the finest artisanal cave-grown dwarf heads.

Same.

goon connection: r/SexWithDogs played a vital role in the cultural evolution of Hole Violence (as did Christina Sims' "Taken By" series of dinosaur erotica, and Koshka's inspired readings of The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel).

The fact that Koshka was involved (:rip: SV) should nail down the time period pretty well.

Been 2 years I think since I looked at Eve, is Space Violence still kicking?

E: It appears from that link there was a falling out. :(

Last I checked the new SV is being run by a Dutchman who left holesquad after we called Dutch Santa racist.

Fix Lag posted:

did this falling out include the phrase "tasteful blackface" at any point

Apparently Dutch kids just can't experience the magic of Christmas without Santa's blackface slave "helper".

To be fair EUTZ was still sorta sparse at that point and he might not have liked the way I was running things, so it probably wasn't just us being racist towards Dutch racism.

the issue with autonomous weapons is how does it define what to shoot down? anything aimed at your fleet? corp? alliance? standings list?

moot point. bombs are entirely untargeted.

FruitNYogurtParfait posted:

not moot you goofus, the implication i was working off of would be "how would defender missiles work if they didnt just shoot down poo poo aimed at you" and expanding that to point defense because i mean, bombs already exist

I dunno, could the servers handle every ship checking the target status of every ship within range every tick?* Could they handle every ship checking for bombs within range every tick? It'd be hella neat to be able to track a bomb over a couple of ticks to see if it's headed in the direction of you or yours, but I don't think it's possible at fleet/battle scale.

Maybe the new AOE mechanics could make it work? :shrug:


*e: if they could do that it could make for some really neat logi indicators (things flashing on watchlists or w/e)

The copper mug doesn't do anything for the quality of the drink but it really adds to the experience IMO. Apparently one of the things to do is to try them with things other than vodka, like gin or some crazy Scandinavian liquor that isn't also vodka.

The only issue is that for a lot of people that poo poo is kinda boring to watch (with current eve mechanics). If it were more a spaceship skinned version of DOTA than that might become a popular thing. Actually I have no idea what makes poo poo popular because I think DOTA is garbage. Carry on.

I wish they'd give some matches the This Is Eve treatment, like NFL Films and Game of the Week. Choose the good matches, or take the highlights from all of them, and make them slick and not boring.
