along with mocking people who have a fetish for flying military hardware.

Which is all of NCD, it’s on the entrance exam.

At least half this list was “damn, I forgot I wasted time watching that crap”

I’m pretty sure this is why coop shooters are getting more popular.

Surveying isn’t hard, it’s a science humans have mastered long before this map was made.

But I that’s like saying putting down a brick is easy, so building the Via Appia wasn’t all that impressive.

This is the result of the collective efforts of an absurd amount of people working hard in the shittiest, least inhabited places on Earth, and combining all that information into a single sheet of paper.

Huh, funny to see an old map where the makers didn’t put themselves in the center

Yes but, money now!

I’m a little fuzzy on the definition of “indie”, but I’m reasonably sure it’s not this

So, it’s XCOM: Interceptor? The game already exists, it was terrible, but they already made exactly this concept.

I swapped playing eve when I realized one job is plenty, and the other paid in euros instead of ISK.

Damn, I was hoping to do some four-ball juggling, but I guess I’ll either have to practice, or less.

Ooooh, maybe this can fill that Valheim build-stuff-and-explore-with-friends niche?

Peta HAVE whined about quite a few videogames, going to far as to produce parodies of them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PETA_satirical_browser_games

It includes pokemon, but also Cooking Mama and Super Meat Boy.

without ever realising that the game actually respects almost any choice you might decide to make in that moment. Kill both, kill neither, kill the gunmen instead… All those options are accepted by the story.

• You can’t kill both.
• If you leave, you die by sniper shot.
• If you wait too long, the snipers shoot one of them.
• If you attack the snipers, both prisoners die.

All choices come down to the exact same battle. It’s literally the same thing as what Mass Effect does, without even the colour-change ending. The quantum-ogre will ALWAYS be in front of you here, and in other places, it’s even more obvious.

In the scene with WP, the game won’t continue if you don’t push the White Phosphorous button. You can absolutely keep playing, for an insanely long time without pushing the button, but you won’t progress. The game tell you “Press here to meet Quantum Ogre” and won’t let you past without pushing the button.

And then it tries to be all deep, by telling the player they chose to push the button. The game would be significantly more impactful if these choices DID matter. You can’t place blame on a player if the ludology doesn’t allow deviation.

The south will ries agani!

I just love how much work developers are putting into this, all to enable control system that is obviously unsuited to the game.

I sometimes wonder where the limit is. Could we get them to improve autoaim enough so we can, say, play with motion controls?

Stonks are at 1 cent, buy and hodl! Diamondhands!

These ideas are all pretty horrible… it’s your typical “we need to replace the entire system” bullshit that always fails to look at more than one aspect.

The big upside of modern sewers is that nobody has to shovel human waste. You don’t just drop it into a hole like with a vacuum toilet, zero water toilet or a modern outhouse, you transport it to a modern facility for treatment without anyone touching it.

The number of diseases that spread through your poop is very high. Having people move around and pick up your pile of poop(and hay), to use as fertilizer is just a begging for an outbreak.

Granted, using potable water to transport feces is dumb as shit, pun intended, but that’s an entirely different problem to solve.

certain strategic points are circled and units can be dispatched there with a click on the circle.

Ah, so the “move units through tunnels” thingy is really just movement on rails?
