yet you don't use airquotes elsewhere. you really think the DM is a rival to the players, it shows in the shit you're writing out.
imho, you've been playing the game wrong for a long time. you need to stop thinking of the DM as some counter to your players and instead think of them as an orchestra conductor.
I shouldn't have to explain this shit to you either. you're either being willfully ignorant or motivated to start some shit. not my monkeys,not my circus.
I disagree. VW could have crashed their diesel production in favor of hybrids and EVs. They're playing late to the game catch up now and may not survive at all. Putting off something you know is coming - the end of diesel vehicle prevalence - through deception YOU KNOW WILL RESULT IN MILLIONS OF VEHICLES CONTRIBUTING WORSE EMISSIONS BUT BEING REGARDED AS BETTER - that's fucking heinous and criminal.
Oh maybe you have an extra biosphere we can slap on to the one being wrecked by CO2? No?
Anyone who knew the truth is complicit in that destruction and we're only beginning to quantify the harm.
banks / culture series offers a lot of fascinating insights. but yeah, hard to adapt for movie audiences... similar to the constraints of storytelling and level of nerdistry you can cram into a film frame... I felt the same way about Tom Clancy's mil-fantasy level of intense inspection about the hardware and users motivations... but he rarely went full silly like Dale Brown with the execution, but very little of clancy's obsession with detail gets into the films made from his IP.
thinking about these tropes has led me to think I need to make some games exploring them heh
Even if we magically restart facilities that used to be around, they’ll be on the older, larger architectures we can’t fit in ourr pockets
ok so you're not wrong on the fundamentals but... you should know - you'd need to go back to the 80s for the fabrication scale to actually have much effect on the size of devices.
so re: encryption - if you can muddle your messages meaning and transmit in unencrypted mode, that convo can hide in the huge volume of calls happening all the time.
once you go through the trouble of encrypting it and running it through spectrum hopping and other security methods, you're simply pointing two REALLY BIG FUCKING ARROWS at the convo participants that say "THESE GUYS HAVE SECRETS THAT SHOULD BE REVEALED WITH BRUTAL METHODS", your encrypting the messages actually draws attention.
warfare looks pretty much like today, only in space
not even that. Star wars warfare looks like what someone from the boomer generation thought warfare looked like in WW2. But really it's what movie warfare from WW2 looked like, because showing actual war would confuse and bore people. lucas was enamored with serials.
you do you mate. but honestly chiming in as if the rest of the world shouldn't keep their cats inside is silly when the concerns - predation - and spreading bird flu around are actual genuine issues.
no one can make you care. doesn't mean I won't keep spreading the word so others benefit from the knowledge.
edit: lemmy, you're turning into reddit. someone says they want to help people protect their pets and stop spreading disease and you downvote because you're so fucking selfish you'd rather silence dissent than let people spread information that may save a loved pet or their family members.
