>>397727 Is it really? well, that's another problem too. People making businesses with it might make bad deal if they're not adjusting their prices accordingly.
Well it's just that it's a lot more complicated to deal with bitcoiin for a business They NEED fiat currency, if nothing else just to pay for costs and taxes Everyone HAS fiat currency, only really people who are Super Online, Libertarian or SovCit are gonna even have bitcoins to begin with, and that's a kinda specific demographic you'll need to cater to in the first palce
If you're just another pizza place, sure you COULD get a few extra people shopping at your place because you take bitcoin and it's novel, but who doesn't have the money for pizza in fiat anyway? It'll be for novelty's sake that people use it at your place, unless you're dealing in really expensive stuff
oops wrong quote >>397727 if you're going to say it's based entirely in speculation, the same applies to tender that's backed by gold it's just speculation in the value of gold decentralized ledgers are rooted in the speculation of the value of work invested in the form of information processing which is already a very ubiquitous thing
>>397742 Well they still have some people with a brain in their government for example the minister of justice that guy usually ends up always being some master or doctor level educated person in here or sweden so... Despite whatever batshit insane things a government might think of doing you can trust the jusmini to be atleast a smart guy
>>397745 that is what the "education" level there implies
FormerRei@mobile
Ah Wasn't sure In the US the lawyer degree is a doctorate
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
they are usually master or doctor of law, as actually are about 20% or so of politicians here I think most common is master or doctor of political science, though not that everyone in our parliamenti s highly educated, but without even looking into it I can say that atleast 40% are with university level degree or equal
Without even knowing anything about it and damned if I do any reasearch I still bet you need some license to call yourself one and getting one without having a degree must most likely be impossible, maybe there is a test.

So I just camped in 90% of russia and good part of asia and had minor conflicts with neighbours but essentially had "non agression pact" with every other player but what no one knew, I had gathered like mission card spanws for like 80+ troops + of course had a quite giant army not having really fought that many wars so just when everyone else was planning their >>397761 nah it was risk legacy or atleast image search makes it look like the same

In other news, my friend got a gym membership to a really nice gym, so I'm gonna bum my way in as his guest.
>>397807 It's psycho-pass, so it can't be avoided to get into politics when analyzing it on any level But it's from such an extremely liberal point of view, it was almost difficult to watch it Like not just his own view on things, but the lense too
We ordered a pizza, and one of my colleagues started doing the dishes, so I told her not to but she said she was already doing it so she'd finish it, and I was like, ok whatever.
Later, I checked, and I'm not sure if she even used a sponge??? She put it in the dish rack looking kind of dirty still.
Also I still am bothered that eVEY COUNTER the sink the kitchens tuff the OVEN are like 15-20cm too low for me to comfortably work on them I have gotten used ot it and geti nto something of a slight squat when doing stuff or shit but still Why? Who designed this shit
also my bathroom is actually a ship cabin would work as a bomb shelter, I am confidenti it would survive even the building collapsing it is a giant solid metal box afterall
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Guess is bit hard to describe but think of like a shipcontainer those huge metal boxes, they are in essence bit like that they build the outer layer, furnish the insidie with everything that needs to be attached to it and then just stack it into the boat's frame real lego building So when they decommissioned a bunch of cruiselines, some construction workers went "hey we can use those" and so many of those got repurposed as bathrooms for 60-80s build flats
I don't think you can really analyze Psycho Pass through a modern political lens very well since it's a completely different system than any government uses.
It is totalitarian in its control of lives, yet it does give you quite good living standards and freedom of hmm well not really freedom, but "merryment" hmm what is the word whatever freedom of freetime and freetime stuff as long as you are a happy ltitle cog in the system
>>397826 It is weird form of technocracy >>397829 That is the issue, if you don't for one reason or another fit into the system you instantly become a criminal or are taken to "happy camps" to be repurposed into a good little cog which does make it absolutely totalitarian comparable even to 1984 However, the happy little cogs can still do practically whatever they want that is socially acceptable and sybil acceptable
>>397825 And yes, the normies in the series seem pretty happy. The difficulties we see in the series revolve around criminal justice and the disturbed, which are going to be a problem in any society.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
When you really think about it isn't everything fascism
>>397827 Oligarchy carries with it an implication that things are good for the ruling class, though. I don't know if the brains are particularly happy since they get cut out of their skulls and used as processing units. It does seem like they get breaks since sometimes they get to run around in a robot body.
>>397834 That is how sybil system deems them "fit to rule others" basically above others in basic technocracy you would have the doctors and highly educated etc rule in sybil system they are the exceptions who can't be judged by the system still "exceptional individuals ruling over the masses" in essence, technocracy The way they just pick them isn't just "high iq" or "best in the field"
>>397834 I couldn't tell if that's how it worked. The first season gave me the sense that the brains are really just processing units. It seems like Makishima wasn't really presented with the choice of having his brain cut out and tossed in a jar.
>>397838 That's because you don't pay enough attention. The brains were acting with intent in every instance they appeared and were the ones making decisions. There was even a scene where Sybil talked about how the brains discuss things among themselves.
>>397839 WHile their processing capacity increases with every additional brain, I would think their "ability to make decisions" is hindered as the system expands. Afterall they are still people deep inside, even though reduced to just processing and decision making parts of a super computer
I do wonder about the guy who invented the thing, though for example how many brains did they gather before even booting up the thing? And how do they expand the thing?
>>397839 You have to admit that that's a bit hard to reconcile with the fact that the brains didn't really have a choice but to join the network, though. Makishima definitely did not want to become a brain in a jar, he wanted to destroy everything. They would have put him in a jar anyway if Kougami hadn't killed him.
What do the brains that don't want to be brains do?
>>397842 >>397843 I would actually guess that once you re placed intot he system, you practically are forced to become part of it eventually you might just go "lalalalalalalala I don't wanna do this" but maybe either lure of power or just boredom will eventually get you into it and maybe being disintrested in the thing, makes you an even more effective judge?
>>397845 Cause there is really high tech there that was but into place before launchign the system so makes you wonder how they were driven into such chaotic situation that SIbyl was the only way to perceive society, yet have tht high level technology? The automated food processing farms for example.
I fundamentally disagree with sibyl, due to basic human right and freedom of speech issues but it is an effective system Good for the largest number of people with just bare minimum suffering
>>397849 Not really imagine say ww3 that fucked up the whole region While japan might not get say nuked but if both koreas and china is wiped from the map, it isn't like japan would avoid the collateral damage
>>397851 basically like the chinahacker he would have really wanted to fit into the system, but due to immigrant nah nope go home so he turned criminal
If I had to make a guess, though i doubt they even imagined a backstory for the world of PsychoPass is that the country got fucked over and an oppressive regime took over, as they tend to in this kind of situations that then began to develop a system to control the country and keep it safe and prosperous and when they finally turned the system on and had it perfected sibyl did what sibyl does and judged the "rulers" back then and had them executed and then began the system of puppet governers that they have As officially iti s a democracy afterall
And you need to figure in to that calculation the "disaster impact" some global or atleast whole east-asia spanning disaster struck that facilitated the rise of sibyl
Without much thought given into it a likely and quite real scenario would be >climate change starts to fuck over regions >makes rush for resources and lebensraum escalate >conflict rises >eventually peaks >war might not even be nuclear, just conventional, but war nontheless it ends at somepoint, but by that time most of the world is fucked one or the other way and japan ends up starting the sibyl program post war or maybe they even began it durign war?, but I'd find that bit silly that seems like post-disaster, but peace time thing
Practically majority of human population now would be latent criminals that is why most old guard was purged when the system was made or fled to the country side outside of the sibyl system like that one professor guy
The point isn't that the system can read your future actions, but how it approaches actually dealing with that situation It's pre-emptive justice on a society-wide scale
>>397883 It scales how likely you are to act at any given time and especially at hard time according to the darker sides of human emotion. If you might punch someone or beat up someone due to an outburst, you most likely have really "dull" psychopass or are even latent criminal
>>397885 You're not grasping it. The methods it uses to solve it is what's important, not what it's able to know or what information it considers
If the presence of the system itself is causing crime, it will do literally nothing to solve that, instead murdering people the system's existence drove to kill
>>397887 It is not 100% proof and bases its judgement on the ever present constant surveillance of every individual and it is indeed most likely 100% eliminate with extreme prejudice against anyone who shows signs of "rebel against the system"
Kidnapping is the act of abducting someone against their will holding someone against their will is imprisonment basically, kidnapping is easy but holding the hostage for say ransom is the harder part but if you just wanna kidnap, torture and murder no issue, you just need a murder basement
FormerRei@mobile
>>397899 Only if you plan on actually giving them back.
Ransoming a person back isn't very effective. It's messy and troublesome and not very safe.
If you're trying to make money off a kidnapping, you need to be selling people into slavery. The only way to ransom someone back and make a profit is to be working with a cartel. They have efficient kidnapping systems where they find targets with kidnapping insurance, grab them, surgically remove the victim's pinky, get the ransom money, and the victim gets reimbursed.
>>397902 >ask ransom on somew ay that is nigh impossible to track >just release the kidnapped person on random place during the day ala black mirror fashion
Maria
>>397893 Groceries don't fight back Unless you buy the meat while it's still alive
>>397904 >>397902 >send bitcoins to this address >receive bitcoins >blindfold victim and drop them off on the side of the road
>>397909 Nah you see you don't go for USA and such where there are ACTUAL THREAT OF KIDNAPPING you go for safe uuurop you can easily nap some safe country kid from the safe region they live in get the money and then slip into the eastern less lawful europe and live there for a while while the heat dies and then rince repeat
>>397912 Europe would be so easy place to fuck up with enough time andm oeny and manpower you can hit many places that don't even think they could be hit, and then just slip into russia or some place that wouldn't even give you up, even if they arrested you cause "fuck the west" the freedom of movement and stability works against such threats and is why many of the terror attacks here have been so severe we just don't fucking know how to deal with them
Also that is the thing with ransom don't ask for too much a reasonable price that they could pay
Say you rig a ton of explosives on 10 railway and highway bridges and then call the gov to ransom them or boomie boom don'ta sk for 100 million go for 10? a sum that particular country might be willing to pay to save face and lives and the point is, give a timer say 6 hours to respond 4 hours before I make the threat public
Also while you could technically do the above alone you need minions to do the money loundering for you when it is transferred to the account you asked for you will need to bounce it quite instantly between many banks especially banks that aren't that co-operative to give information on such things out before withdrawing it all or such that would completely kill the trail >>397919 not really explosives are cheap but yeah 10 million would be bit low, but the point is that you need to name a sum that isn't going to really show up in the budget that they can bullshit away as something if they want to keep this a secret and a sumt hey can quite easily just throw at you you ask for 100 millions of any european government, and they might not actually have that atleast in liquid assets you need to base it on the state budget and the time of the year
the basis is that the sum needs to be low enough against the loss of prestige and potentional loss of lives and well damage say you blow up 10 bridges, that will cost them more than 100 million to fix for sue but you don't want to ask them the amount it would cost, you need to make it cheaper you need to make your offer the more reasonable one, especially considering the short time limit you will give them
The black mirror episode on the pig thing is quite good example, though in that the criminal used public pressure to keep them in line,. In this case, you would use "I will tell my plan to public" as the pressure
FormerRei@mobile
10 million sounds a bit low, it would probably be about a million to set it up in the first place.
>>397932 That's right, it is. But you can be a really good bad guy without an evil heart if you want to. Just like how I'm a bad good guy with an evil heart.
>>397933 Yeah, but they don't always have evil hearts.
For example Makishima Sogo wasn't really someone who was evil per se He just wanted change and to reform the society through force into something that wasn't stagnating and totalitarian he was a revolutionary You could even call him a good guy if you narrated the story differently For example, compare him to Lelouch?
I read maybe the 1st volume back in 2006 or so and it was crap and that was the prime time form e to read or watch shit like that
FormerRei@mobile
Well, anyways The premise of this manga is that mc was a conan like elementary school detective (but was actually an elementary schooler) But he's actually not a particularly good detective He can see ghosts and the ghosts always point towards the murderer or murder weapon.
Also >conan has been going for 28 years now or shit
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
I actually have read like 200 chapters or more of conan and I really liked it but it just is so repetive there is no plot progression and he never returns permanently to his mature form or anything it just is "status quo is god" man reminds me of Ranma all over again FUCK THAT FUCKING AUTHOR FUCK RUMIKO TAKESHI
Maria
>>397970 what if we did a crossover between conan the detective and conan the barbarian?
>>397974 it is still fucking 300 chapters of status quo is god urusei yatsura was btw a lot better since while it was status quo is god it was a gag manga foremost and a damn good one but inuyasha... seriously fuck that dog thing

Also it takes place when he's in highschool And his family has gone into hiding because so many criminals have threatened them and also sued him and the police for mishandling investigations
>>397995 Yes that is what they say But the actual creed is , if you live on the path of the cross you CAN'T do evil the holy spirit is in you, preventing you from doing bad.
>>398006 que? I just think that in general once the religion got "organised" into more than just people practicing it in small communities and such it got corrupted by instituonalism and thus became too wordly to truly function thus for most of the history of christianity spanning 2000 years and isntitutionalisation became 1700 years ago about, well
sk 🖤
The idea that the religion has only just now come into its true form, and every single Christian of the past was simply wrong because their life situation lead to a different interpretation is laughable for many reasons Key among them: supposedly communicated by a divine entity who should have seen this coming
God didn't see it coming, or He's perfectly fine with 2000 years of human beings abusing His holy texts to inflict violence and subjugations on his Children
The people who got "bible by the sword" which wasn't that common a thing as your propaganda full history tells you would get salvation as they didn't know the word and of course if they were "good people" it is the christians who have it bit harder since they not only need to be good people, but also walk the path of the cross
Atleast I didn't ahve the weird thing of "turning exactly the age my father was when he had me" like my aniki had MAN I wonder did he ever think about that did that keep him awake?

It is diminished to an inevitability. Something that can't be escaped because the finish line hinges on it. So there's no actual incentive to 'stop' war in our minds. Because we know that we can't.
>>398040 umm go and read the chapter anew there are a lot mote end time signs the point in that chapter is that "no one can tell when the end time comes" but that "a lot of disaster and conflict will come when the end time is nigh, but that is not the end times"
Ko-Shi
>>398044 I know that there are a lot of signs. I know that no one can tell. My point is about "people". WE diminish wars to inevitability because we have a prophecy that says that war will be one of those signs.

Wow Holy shit The fucking labo Nintendo fans confirmed for Nintoddlers
>>398045 Also the poitn is that ALL struggles and disasters are "end times" in the minds of us people and they will have their "messiahs" who some will follow but the true Christian will stay true and just follow the faith

>>398043 >Nintendo today announced Nintendo Labo, a wild new experiment for the Switch that will allow players to insert the console into assorted pieces of cardboard, creating items like robots, fishing rods, and pianos.
>>398047 How is that the point? He's not warning about false signs when he says that. He just says "that's really the beginning ". There's all kinds of disasters but my issue is with the war.
>>398058 You say one passage of it trivializes wars but the whole passage is about to be wary of the false prophets and messiahs and the people who declare tht it is the end times when it is not it is a chapter to stay true to the faith and not follow those whosay it is happens now eventhough it hasn't happened et al it can even be words described as warning not to follow potentional dictators or sudden idealistic mvoements et al >>398058' It doesn't dust off wars it is in human nature to do them and no matter the horriblessness of the war it was "ment" to happen in the sense ,that humanity would do it anyhow but no matterh ow horrible the war, it isn't the end times unless it actually is the end times.
>>398073 that's GREAT and all but since these things "MUST" come to pass there's nothing to do about it and so there's no incentive to work against it
THIS is my problem.
FormerRei@mobile
>>398069 I buy consoles to play videogames Not play with cardboard Some of it looks kind of fun, but not $60 worth of fu n And definitely not worth the millions of dollars nintendo spent working on it
>>398081 It isn ot that we shouldn't strive for peace it just is that if conflict happens, it happens survive and struggle through it or die embracing faith
>>398081 Well that isn't because of christianity and a passage in the biblee, which majority of christians havn't even read anyhow but just because of the idiocy of humanity and human society >>398084 You don't get it
Ko-Shi
THE PROPHECY GIVES NO INCENTIVE TO SOLVE FOR PEACE and that is my problem In fact, you can say it incentivizes THE OPPOSITE
my man, I have not been Christian for the length of this conversation only. That verse, that chapter, is my least favorite for a reason. I have heard it too many times and the more I heard it, the more I thought about why it got said and it makes me bitter.
When I actually was in a teaching position back in the day about this, this is what I always preached about to not just take a passage or a chapter and ascribe meanings to it because EVERY SINGLE PASSAGE OF THE BIBLE CAN BE USED TO JUSTIFY SOMETHING HORRIBLE if bullshitted enough fuck I have once answered a call at 4:20 precise to be asked if bible can be used to justify smoking weed 4:20 am btw I managed to answer tot he challenge btw
>>398097 It is not about being sedated it is about perseverance through horrible experiences and accepting when they have happened that they just were challenges it not about preventing conflict it is about "you hear news of conflict or war, that is not the end" YOU HEAR NEWS by that time THE CONFLICT IS ON you can work towards its end and peace but the point isn't "you hear about conflict so just crawl under a chair and pray and don't do anything about to prevent it" *you hear about a brewing conflict"
it is about stuff that you, the little you at that point can't affect consider the times it was SUPER HIERARCHIAL SOCITIES EMPERORS TO THE WEST EMPERORS TO THE EAST EMPERORS TO THE NROTH GOD KING PHARAOH TO THE SOUTH when one of those decides they go to war they go to war and nothing you poor little whatever you were, can do to stop it
and most likely, you heard about it after it had raged on for months ifn ot years or even ENDED
The thing is about you hearing of horrible things and thinking "this must be the end" and then you hear of some salvation and decide to grasb for it, because this must be the end and it warns you not to do that
cause the end is when the end is and you will absolutely for sure know when the actual end is
and everything else is just hard ship to perserve through it doesn't preach about not preventing disasters of conflicts it just says "if you hear about a conflict or a war, that is just is and was ment to be" but it doesn't say "so don't do anything about ito r try to ease the suffering og the people involved or try to end it sooner or anything else"
you ever think about games like, maybe fallout or skyrim where someone will give you a sidequest and you'll come back like literally two years later to complete it and they're always like THANKS SO MUCH instead of like, wtf it took you two years to get me a ring???
>>398119 I think the pauses in the playtime on me are practically the actual added travel times I mean ingame it takes like 2-3 days to travel from farthest edge to the other but the continent including skyrim is ment to bel ike what watleast Europe?
Maria
>>398119 I'd like an rpg with a calander system that placed time limits on side quests like that So you gotta manage your time and get it done before they get impatient
>>398121 This reminds me of my idea of "timed RPG but timer is hidden" basically if you do too much side stuff Evil wins or Some other guy kills the demon lord or something else basically game is cosntantly moving forwards and quests are getting failed or changed and so on if you aren't mvoing forwards >>398121 fish
It is calender you twat but if you write it calander and say it in english the "cala" is quite close to finnish spelling of kala in terms of pronounciation so KALA
Maria
>>398124 Am I a twat for not knowing the finnish word for calander
I would say it takes about an hour of ingame jogging to go from the left corner ot the right corner and I'd say your character does about 15-20km/h at that speed

TN !PcAPtAiNJo
THE ONLY PATCH TO FUCK UP THE MAPPING COMMUNNITY THE ONLY PATCH and ALL IT DID WAS UPGRADE FILESIZE FROM 4MB to 8MB AND THAT IS WHAT IT DID BUT IT FUCKED IT ALL >>398160 this was prior to activision
>>398161 imagine that but 1000 fold an then by 1000 fold that is about what I felt all of the work in that map moot because I had used custom editor with better version of the "wc3 script language" without having to actually learn "jasc" the actual script to do it but that editor had gone do other things so they never patched their editor software post 1,24 patch so I had no way of salvaging any of my work except learning JASC which I had no time to do and when i finally did I had no version of the map on me that i could edit
I made like 300 custom units more than in vanilla wc3 I made them about balanced I made the wheel of time magic system somewhat balanced as best as it could exist and still exist quite "realistic tot he source" I made ton of events, alliance systems and shit and not to mention just the fucking map and what did I get from it big FU from blizzard before I made the actual big release of the map and put it on warcraft map sharing sites...
this fucker was tiny but since she was let outside whenever shew anted, she practically matched a wild cat in physical condition so she, me witnessing, beat a cat nearly twice her size, though I bet that was mostly because of her ferocity >>398188 But laz here bnit looks odd ot me,b ut it just might be because of breed
But the biggest and baddest cat I have ever seenw as my childhood neighbourhood cat that tomcat was HUGE like twice the size of my cat when she had reached her peak height Hew as big and strong I never saw him fight anyone if some other neighbourhood cat ambushed him he just shrugged them off and then stared them down and they went running away
but he was friendly to everyone and especially to kids let everyone pet him the weirdest part was, his owner lived like on the third floor of a flathouse so basically, everyone just let the cat in into the building from which the cat made his way to the owner's door and then started stratching never meowing he never meowed or purred But man was he BIG
I know my childhood image, being small then, makes him seem al ot bigger but I have my own cat as reference size and that still made him prolly maximum or close to maximum size a domesticated cat or even wild cat can grow
Even the big neighbourhood dogs left him alone, despite barking at every other cat they saw cause they knew better also he was like a peace keeper in the region He owned the town no other cat dared to "claim" stuff when he was around but then when I heard he died like week later our cat came home bleeding from clearly fight wounds and that continued for a while everyone just started suddenly fighting each other
>>398201 Complaints, huh? Well, it can't be helped. It's gotta happen. I think Fish will particularly dislike the person coming tomorrow, but they'll get along.
>>398202 I know that feel I had one coworker once that I quite disliked but then I started to get along with them bit better, when they weren't that douschy but I still didn't kinda "like them"
>>398204 She's good at acting the part of a normal housewifey type girl when there are people around. Although she didn't really do much hosty stuff while everyone was over, I had to do everything. I expected to, though. As soon as they left today, she just went back to full hikki-mode.
>>398203 This person is impossible not to get along with, but they're so friendly that sometimes it's hard to be cool with it.
>>398208 She's been faking it her whole life. Getting along with people, that is. I'm sure she's told you about all the stuff she did at her dad's parties and meetings and shit.
>>398209 Yeah, it's a little off-putting, but she's just a genuine Southern Girl.
>>398212 She knows I won't let her! And she knows I'll be embarrassed if I have to drag her out of hiding and that I'll be mad if I get humiliated in front of guests!
>>398215 I wanna come over there and see how I fit in I do have a quite good "PR" persona, though you kinda build up one when you so sales and shit for a lenghty period
>>398217 Me too. I try to take her out to dinner at least once a week so she has to talk to people, too. I used to have to order for her but she can do it on her own now, usually.
>>398216 It'd be hard for you to fit in! You'd be beet red in an hour if you stepped outside.
>>398225 Not really spain especially teneriffa and mallorca were big travel spots for finns since 70s or earlier and still are gotta escape the dull of winter or fall or such to somewhere south and warm and bright and some fall in love and buy a house or plot of land for 1/3-10th the price it would cost here
Florida is kind of weird in that it's super diverse. There was a colony of Japanese people here, a really big one, for ages. Down south, there's still a bunch of Japanese named places.
>>398228 She sure has been. It's nice to see her doing so well.
I wonder if there is a place where finns havn't built a colony of sorts we are global as fug and one day we are the globe

>>398247 isn't it quite tedious the 4th novel was 90% just lizardman politics with no cuts to nazarick practically
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
but the 2nd episode did the most amusing part of it quite well
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
But I can bet that this 12/3 episode season will feature the men of the empire and lizard man saga that is my guess not that they are that particularly interesting, but they do world build a FUCK and also trigger SK's climb hatred like fug not that I blame him CLIMB IS just no
FormerRei@mobile
Climb?
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
the bitch knight of the kingdom's 3rd? princess
FormerRei@mobile
Hrrm I haven't read the books in a while. Sounds vaguely familiar
He is purposefully ment to be stereotypical fantasy MC but nothing around him is that and that is the fun part but he is no fun and that to me is FUN but some don't take that so to them Climb is cancer
haa the raised platforms may seem nice in terms of "oh they are easy to defend hue hue" but from missiles what do they offer protection from?
Oh nothing IF you bloody build this kind of defenses you want to finish it off with some kind of walls that protect your archers/missile troops from enemy missile fire be it palisade or something just ANYTHING will be good even chest high walls but nothing well isn othing all the enemy needs to do is set fire to this soemhow and then wait and then butcher the lot when they escape the "fortifications" not really a siege just a "let's wait for one fire arrow to get critical success"
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
so basically theyc an force the enemy to 10000% unfavourable situation with practically 0 casualties
FormerRei@mobile
>>398272 For a lot of those, those branches wouldn't be able to support those platforms.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>398274 wat they have those platforms built on them with HOUSES on them just add walls

>In terms of length, Konami brand manager Jennifer Tsang told GameSpot that you can expect the game to take you 15-20 hours to play through the campaign.
I didn't even know there was going to be a campaign.

yeah there's a story the boss ai causes a zombie apocalypse or something the big one that was with huey when you first rescue him

That's so stupid

The new cardboard stuff from Nintendo is pretty fucking neato. I hope it catches on and we get to see more stuff than just the demo games they'll use to showcase it.
Kirara 🚗
>>398283 ifkr? people are talking shit but it's such an interesting and exciting idea
Anno
Being able to BE THE ROBOT from that one demo in the PV is pretty amazing. Like imagine something like that but on a fuller scale.
Anno
ACTUALLY WAIT CHIBI-ROBO AR/VR. FUCKING FUND THIS NINTENDO IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU.
FormerRei@mobile
>>398284 People are mainly talking shit because its like $60 for cardboard and the games
>>398284 It isn ot because of the idea it is because it is Konami
FormerRei@mobile
>>398289 Yeah, but its certainly not $70 worth of cardboard Or cardboard cutting
Anno
Also apparently Nintendo will provide replacements for the material if it's damaged beyond repair. So it's a lifetime purchase. Honestly I don't think that's a bad deal.
>>398289 What Nintendo's doing kind of reminds me of Google's tech prototyping. They make a demo product that's probably a bit more expensive than it could be to test the waters with new mechanics/functionality. Then as it gets adopted other people start developing the technology and the price adjusts to something more standard to the market.
Speaking of Nintendo I spied someone on the subway tonight playing their Switch. I was a little surprised they'd have something like that out on the train really, especially just standing free in the middle of the car. I don't think I'd play it unless I was sitting down.
FormerRei@mobile
>>398306 They almost certainly have stock in Europe.
Kirara 🚗
>>398306 that's why it's only available in the us for the promotion
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>398308 biggest paper carton country in europe after russia is finland
you can buy an improved version of it for $10 on Amazon or an even better plastic headset for $20-30
My point however is that Google Cardboard was important in getting people interested in phone VR and was one of the first projects with it it helped development quite a bit
which is what tilde is saying nintendo seems to be doing with Labo
Anno
More so the cardboard is actually mostly irrelevant with the Nintendo project; the accessories could probably be made of anything. The technology it uses to create the effects involve technology -already- incorporated into the Switch hardware. Cardboard just works as an easily distributable, cheap, and customizable material. Oh and it's light, that's probably a bonus too. This is basically Nintendo saying "hey world, you can also do this with the Switch! Interested?" And we'll see where things go from there.
I think it's pretty normal to start having less sex as the passionate burning youthfulness of the relationship fades and becomes a more genuine relationship.
Anno
listen I also think that's pretty normal but it's been like a couple months and we're barely starting our 20s I'm pretty sure she's just not attracted to me anymore
Have you talked to her about that? People don't just suddenly find someone unattractive, generally, unless something about that person reminds them of something unpleasant now.
>>398331 Oh, I saw that Faye comic. I like Faye a lot. I like how she confesses to you in her level 40 confession, too! Too bad all her lines are still about Alm. Also, too bad she's not a very good unit.
>>398339 No! I can't roll dancers. If a dancer Faye shows up, I'll never roll her. I just want one that kills stuff really good. SHe is one of the best killers in her game.
>>398407 People who program or at least know how to and have a basic understanding of what is reasonable when writing a program. *a reasonable way of writing
>>398419 I heard the audio for the 1080p isn't great because it's the Netflix rip. Personally I've noticed in the past that Netflix's audio is kind of super soft and weirdly balanced so I dunno if I want it.
Anno
That sounds like that'll be problem if I'm listening through headphones I think for the most part though I'll be hearing it through my speakers
>>398488 >the one EA didn't fuck up But that's patently false. Spore wasn't bad but it would have been a MASSIVELY different game if it had done more of what it originally set out to do.
Still no work, what do you think I am, motivated? I did get a call about a job though, that I still haven't called back for. I plan to do so today after lunch time.
