My all time favorite is Blood Waters of Dr. Z. It is unhinged from beginning to end in the best kind of way. The story is bonkers, the special effects and makeup are awful and the acting is worse but it’s all so good.
And to all the people new to MST3K you get the obligatory Pod People recommendation.
So you think in order for people to not work their lives away we would have to take up subsistence farming? With all the tech and machines we have the only viable way to not be a company man is to give away all of the luxuries we currently have?
How’s that Kool aid tasting?
The dude mentioned a medical disability, stated he couldn’t eat solid food or cook and you assume he can drive and then criticize him for delivery? He didn’t spell out that he couldn’t drive but it was pretty obvious if you read the post… Say sorry and move on buddy. You’re in the wrong and look like an incel loser when you continue to double down.
Right? I’m not sure if the tech industry is just going all in on the scam and trying to get as much of our money as they can or if we’re actually about to have some kind of huge technological breakthrough.
Look buddy, I’m from the south and this is a talking point for Confederate sympathizers. This train of thought has no substance to it. The civil war didn’t just happen to people, slavery did. People did what they had to do to get out and there’s nothing authoritarian about that. You’re not being more intelligent than everyone else and you’re not the smartest person in the room like this gentleman would like you to believe, you’re being gullible.
Again I think you’re missing the point. I would argue it is a product and a service. They are hosting us on their servers but they’re also playing dungeon master. If you just want a shooter where you shoot bugs they have them but Helldiver’s is more than that. You couldn’t come close to emulating what the game accomplishes on a self hosted server with you and your friends. The point is you’re playing with randos that you have to rely on to do their part so that you don’t die and to complete the major orders.
What I’m trying to say is IMO an offline version wouldn’t be worth playing. The shared victories and failures can’t be simulated and that’s the nature of this kind of video game. There’s been a lot of similar games so I understand the reluctance to join in but the comradery they’ve built through PvE is really something.
Helldivers 2 is not shutting down anytime soon and I doubt they’ll offer an offline mode in the near future. If you’re not playing the major orders and watching the direction of the game in real time you’re going to miss out on a lot of the story and the lore. That’s how live games work. There isn’t a story mode or anything resembling it. Sony got wrapped up in a bunch of controversy and it left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth but AH has been trying to do what’s right. They sold 12,000,000 copies and on an average Tuesday there’s 150,000 players playing at any time. I get the hate for having to be connected to the Internet to play a game but that’s kind of the schtick for Helldivers whether you’re into or not.
You tell yourself whatever you need to to live in this society and be happy. I’m sure the extra $.80 you’re spending for the label that says cruelty free, is in fact cruelty free.
No but unethical is unethical so I’m not sure where you’re going with this.
No ethical way to spend in a capitalist society. It kind of is what it is, cause I gotta eat. Also certified “you criticize capitalism yet you live in it moment” to you sir.
I mean if we’re being capitalists, that’s how the free market works, right?
Statistics by definition is presenting empirical data and that’s what most people think of when they hear statistics. Most scientists studying statistics actually spend much more of their time developing and studying methods of data collection rather than crunching numbers. The reason for this is you cannot have meaning statistics if the data set is not accurate. And I love you all and your experiences matter but they bear no scientific weight.
4 out of 5 dentists agree that every time you see a static it’s complete and total bullshit. Flawed data collection leads to flawed results which leads to flawed conclusions. But people sure do get excited when numbers validate their biases.
Neither side. You break it in half. Am I the only person that does this?
I imagine it being more academic. It would take an enormous amount of power to create a simulation like this so my guess is, the civilization running the simulation has a much better understanding of the universe and rather than experimenting in their own world they created one. I also like the idea of a future civilization discovering humans after we have gone extinct and having enough information to create a simulation to watch it happen.
Getting your finger stuck in the VCR because the videotape would not eject. You had to stick your finger in and poke the tape while mashing the eject button. Worked everytime. Also pushing rewind on a tape and walking away because someone forgot to rewind and you don’t want to watch the video in reverse.
