Well, not yet - it certainly doesn’t look used…

If it was ‘hey check out my throne’ with a shot of bare knees and shoes then that might be different

When the ring of fire has 7 levels

Ugh. Reddit’s that way…

Try harder, I guess?

Holy crap that’s quirky!

I get that there’s only one way to complete, so it makes sense but man is it an unsatisfying experience!

No strafe? C’mon…

Wow, this was a great bit of shit-spinning, 10 points

Damn, good effort!

Yeah, when I was a teenager a bunch of us went off the deep end in school. It was crazy complex, though! Gave me a huge respect for the amount of work that goes into things (especially the high polygon stuff! I’ve really no idea how it works nowadays though…)

Oh for sure, I did plenty of level building. The d1 map mode was so hard to read when the wireframe layers occluded each other though (can’t remember what it looked like in some!)

As much as I hated the thief (and catching it early in each level was a priority!), I recognised it as a good mechanic.

My problem was the level complexity in d2 and 3 - it just got too tedious and hard to navigate which killed the fun. The annoyung guidebot was absolutely necessary!

Holy crap, a successor got released?!

I remember when the alpha was melting down years ago!

I loved D1. 2 & 3 weren’t that great, but something about that original game really stuck with me

Touché

I’ve no idea personally, but i do remember in that Morgan freeman doco about the penguins, they know each others call (and mate exclusively), so when there’s the huge mess of penguins everywhere they really can distinguish ‘which one is their partner’.

And to us they all just look (and sound!) the same

Yeah, that really narrows it down, doesn’t it?

Point is, I don’t think these guys have much of a plan in themselves. Sure, the party cooked up project 2025, but the ‘leaders’ sure are being led here and don’t seem to have much grasp of things

Maybe thats naïve

I finally got to the end of the article where they hang this tidbit:

President-elect Donald Trump said this month that he will elevate Commissioner Andrew Ferguson, a Republican attorney, to lead the agency. Following the announcement, Ferguson, “At the FTC, we will end Big Tech’s vendetta against competition and free speech. We will make sure that America is the world’s technological leader and the best place for innovators to bring new ideas to life.”

Trump also said he would nominate Republican lawyer Mark Meador as a commissioner, describing him as an “antitrust enforcer” who previously worked at the FTC and the Justice Department. Meador is also a former aide to Sen. Mike Lee, a Utah Republican who introduced legislation to break up Google.

This is great and all but would the new government actually do anything despite the best efforts of the agencies??

I doubt these crooks would support it at all!

I wonder what kind of safety margin is calculated into these…

Admittedly I’ve seen some wildly different shielding or thickness in my time

Similar to this, I’ve got a real beef with our unresolved insecuritues we have as a people (in principle. Obviously in practise this is hard).

I feel like the insecurities that essentially, drive us, are really holding us back from meaningful progress on our legitimately hard problems with climate, energy/food distribution, etc…

We’re still drawn into BS distractions and opposing teams and whatnot like a bunch of monkeys with sticks (which is apt, to be fair)

Oh wow, that’s nice and subtle (I probably wouldn’t have got it if it wasn’t for all the context - I’m not observant, shall we say…)
