It was the one good thing the german liberal party FDP was good for, but they aimed to destroy the coalition from the inside (literally! they made plans and discussion meetings when the best time to destroy it would be). And now they are out and we have the SPD and the Greens left. So one party who really has a hard on for surveillance and the other one who is undecided.
It is also really fun in coop. The way your two main characters interact makes it perfect for playing it with somebody else.
And of course all the different fuckups if your fire ball destroys the oil barrels you didn’t see before…
That sounds strange, because they just filter out and don’t add anything. What does give me headache though are glasses that are too small for me. Maybe your glasses are just a bit too small and the increased pressure triggers the migraine?
Might not be for you.
Maybe as an alternative for you: create new accounts after one year or so to not leave a years-long data trail? This way your posts are preserved but can’t be connected easily to each other to doxx you.
What you say and what you describe are not the same. Your explanation is literally how it was explained on the other site. So you are better than you think you are. =)
And I do it the same as you. Something I disagree with or don’t like but is reasonably argued and not mean or full of any -isms? No vote from me.
Followed your advice, now my husband complains I’m not the woman he married anymore.
Using some concepts, but not really a retelling of the story:
Matantei Loki Ragnarok
Aa! Megami-sama!
Delicious in Dungeon/Dungeon Meshi by Ryouko Kui.
It has wonderful world building introducing it slowly over time without info dumping, or better said, there is a nerd in the world info dumping on his friends, who don’t always appreciate it =D
But you can have that in Austria as well or France or Italy. They are all in the Alps. Or even not as tall parts of the Alps in Slovenia or Germany.
Let’s try and keep it below 10 11 entries:
Honestly nowadays so many games have great soundtracks, it is a joy to behold! Makes it harder to chose favorites though…
Probably all eastern block states. I know its true for example for East Germany.
Honestly, games like Undying are exactly the games that need a remaster to fulfill the vision that was clearly there in the original. The first 2/3 are still a marvelous horror game, but the end is so unfulfilling.
Could you provide a link to the original artist? I would like to read more from them.
I’m trying to think of any game I played that was like that. You have some examples (western or not, old or not) on your mind?
Thanks for explaining your reasoning, I see it different than you.
Especially your comment regarding the LLM is where our beliefs differ: an LLM is the software plus the hardware, so in my opinion for sure if there ever is a “real” conscious AI, we know what it is made out of and that it’s the collection of programs that run on the hardware (we might never understand why that lead to consciousness, but it isn’t more than what was put in). So whatever that AI is, is defined by those two things. Same as we humans are defined by our nerve system and brain. Take parts of it away and it changes the whole (=brain damage, trauma, drugs, etc.).
Especially drugs and their influence on our minds are a big reason why I’m strongly in the “it’s all physical” camp. Taking drugs changes the minds of people while those drugs are in the system. That people feel their thinking change, is proof for me, that it’s all physical, since it can be influenced by physical means, e.g. drugs.
Now we both stated our beliefs, but I don’t think we will get a real answer in the close future and I don’t think we will convince the other person, so thanks again for explaining your reasoning.
What is the reasoning that you believe that your consciousness can’t arise out of physical matter?
Oh for sure, that might be the case. But everything already written in some holy book or told in some ritual now definitely lacked those sophisticated machines, making all their content moot and you can safely disregard them.
So due to the lack of any information, you can’t prepare and therefore can’t expect anything. So it’s better to be good for its own sake, then trying to appease some bronze/iron age divinity.
The car bomb is triggered by turning the ignition. The POV is of the unsuspecting victim, so no bomb in view, just the view of turning the ignition.
Same as you, I liked the more grounded part better.
The atmosphere is brilliant and the world was so creative. Cyperpunk is hard to do realistically, but Norco managed to create a believable dystopia to me. Because it wasn’t that different from our own.
And I applaud the developers for the jump scare with the smartphone and the hobo. That one was really well done.
Correct, but that shows what an chemical engineering masterpiece photosynthesis is.
It also isn’t just one step, but multiple smaller steps in between, which make it possible to break the C-O bond.
But the difference is, that for photosynthesis, there are other reaction partners that are able to bond to the Carbon and Oxygen atom. For the decomposition, they likely were in a pure CO2 atmosphere, making it hard for the atoms to find better reaction partners than each other.
