I may be wrong here but I think that just like sky diving vs BASE jumping, you can actually just do it from a plane, which sounds like it would be a lot less dangerous
Maybe I'm doing it wrong or I'm just too shy to socialize with strangers in these games, but as someone who has fond memories of my favorite TF2/killing floor community servers, I feel like there is basically no sense of community in these games now that matchmaking is king and private hosting is a thing of the past
I'm a dark souls enjoyer who thinks that hollow knight is a gorgeous game with mediocre platforming and decent combat. I'm pretty sure you made my blood pressure jump to unsafe levels
As far as I know, right now the main problem with flying cars is that they are nowhere near as idiot-proof as a normal car, and don't really solve any transportation problem since most countries' air regulations agencies would require them to exclusively take off and land in airports... Where you can usually find tons of planes that can go much further (and are much more cost effective, as you pointed out)
I keep joking that we should make video games mandatory for millionaires when this subject comes up but I legit think that playing some grindy game or management games would make this type of people less greedy to some degree, because at their core they appeal to our seemingly primal urge of always hoarding more resources.
Can confirm, grandpa was a WW2 vet (+ a few of the postcolonial wars that followed). He used to say that soldiers morale hinges on wine and cigarettes.
Also he died of lung cancer after surviving all that shit, including being a POW for 4+ years in extremely shitty conditions in Cambodia
Are you sure about that ? I don't know that much about these kind of dynamics because I am not a soulless capitalist ghoul, but I remember reading that Kotick actually did that kind of stuff mostly by himself and was quite good at it (which did translate into more money being made, which probably kept investors happy and cemented his position)
Including cooling because casings actually absorb quite a lot of the heat generated by the propellant iirc (which is then easily removed from the weapon by ejecting the spent casing)
I had a cat that learned to open the front door to the house. Just casually stretched all the way to the handle and pulled it down
