Legend says he can identify the usable IP range before witnessing the subnet mask.

In your part of the world there’s no cops, no one owns firearms, and there’s just no crime?

Absolutely not, I’m all for defunding the police but if your idea of a peaceful country doesn’t involve someone owning and being willing to defend themselves with firearms you’re just living in a fantasy where crime just magically doesn’t exist.

Idk about Korea but here it’s mostly because you can’t afford to. I could barely support myself and someone else (most of that cost would be rent which wouldnt even change, either) before bringing children (whole bunch of new costs) into the mix.

I work a skilled job with half a decade of experience, and am in the correct salary range for the area, as well.

Whatever his goals are, creating more media worthy events helps obfuscation and that’s just basic art of war.

I mean idk about Jinx, she’s more or less just a traumatized wreck with huge guns than anything, but Vi absolutely. Caitlin will get there but her upper crust naivete that’s never been challenged until she goes to Zahn kinda stifles that. Hoping she gets a bigger dose of reality and it changes her character more significantly (just not enough screentime in the last part, really) in season 2.

quietly ignores Rebel Moon and her abysmal performance, and not just the writing either.

No, they’re saying that as a person they don’t really care about it when relating to characters. We experience things as human beings, not by sexual orientation or sexual identification.

Unless the specific human experience is related to sex/gender in some way, we feel what others feel and relate to them based on the character work and related narrative elements. Not just “is man/woman, please relate.”

Maybe people just don’t find the same meme posted 309 times to be that interesting of content.

Mostly it was the paper and textile industries lobbying against cannabis so that the superior products that can be made with hemp were illegal and didn’t stand in the way of their infrastructure and market segment.

That alone probably fueled the drug war against it as much as the government using it to crack down on any minority they could illustrate as using it more often.

Cardboard and paper bags went out of style because of the “save the rainforest” narrative. Even though most paper products are made from trees specifically grown to be harvested for their wood.

That’s why we started using plastic bags at grocery stores, remember?

Doubtful, when does the Democrat party do anything except to look better by comparison?

No, this is how we discovered fusion.

So why have any combat at all?

It’s just illogical, either the game IS about combat or it’s not, they obviously chose for it to be about combat, I’m merely pointing out that about half of their gameplay loops would be improved by just taking the one final step that they refuse to do.

Sure if all I wanted was combat I’d play ME as well, it’s my favorite game franchise, but that doesn’t mean NMS can’t or shouldn’t have ground combat (cause it already does) or that it should be the focus (it shouldn’t), but if they’re going to make a game about boarding pirate ships then it should logically include some kind of gameplay surrounding that instead of casually strolling in the front door and requesting command.

I’m just asking for consistency, really. That’s all.

Their vision includes fighting ships in space, fighting and boarding pirate vessels, fighting bug aliens on derelicts, and fighting sentinels of multiple varieties including walkers of various sorts, and you draw the line at fighting regular NPC’s that could easily just be a part of the aforementioned factions?

I just don’t understand the mentality, I’m not asking for Call of Duty: Atlas Warfare, I just think their vision already possesses multiple avenues of combat yet they have failed to include the one thing that would allow them to expand that gameplay logically to make things more fun.

Why would I want to destroy a ships guns and then walk onto the bridge when I could fight my way to the bridge with guns we already have and combat that already exists. How many weapons/weapon adjacent tools do you already have in your MT? I have over half a dozen.

Their vision is clear, and it includes combat as a central focus in every way except fighting pirates in ground combat.

Not creating the assets and AI for friendly/enemy NPC aliens from the big 3 was a colossal error. It could have created the foundation of everything from hiring gun hands at your outposts to fighting for control of pirate stations. Why did we never get an update for abandoned stations like we did for derelict freighters?

It seems like HG just doesn’t see the value in creating things that are multi-use case. Every update is just one more completely separate gameplay loop that doesn’t involve any of the others. So much could be added to different aspects of the game if they had just one or two more core systems that they used to influence their path going forward.

I hope LNF is better at creating a world where all aspects of their gameplay loops are integrated and emergent gameplay can occur.

Is there actually boarding party combat or do we just do the “blow them up from the outside” thing and then waltz onto the bridge and claim it like normal? Cause that would be boring as hell.

I want to fight my way to the bridge using the four different types of guns I have but virtually never need. Fight pirates, not sentinels.

Still Beans face is 99% of the reason for even using the meme. Without it the image just looks like two people sitting side by side instead of the cheating.

True but they were back before the election and those same conservatives he appointed told him to cram his election fraud narrative.

Plus it’s just in favor of conservatives, not stacked completely.
