Vehicle combat games. Which I guess is more like a genre than a mechanic.
Right now it’s basically Mariokart or nothing.
Grip came out in 2018, but the physics were really unforgiving (clipping a corner could cost you like 10 seconds as you tumble) and there weren’t enough players online.
Which is a real shame because it’s gorgeous, fast paced, with effective power ups, and amazing tracks. And a hell of a sound track.
The thing new games don’t have that I miss from old games is friends to play the game with 😭
In an open world game that isn’t about racing*
Games like wreckfest have pretty great damage modeling. BeamNG too.
I really want to see a god game with gestures, like black&white, make the jump to VR
Like in the finals, kinda?
Let me run a linear regression and get back to you
That makes sense, its like overdosing on pot.
The last bit about radiation decreasing cancer risk in low (but still elevated) doses seems pretty suspect though. Where did you find that research?
What if I use it to caress my face? What about then?
That’s true for radiation poisoning.
I’m asking about increased risk of cancer.
Lots of those things in our natural environment that you mention do increase our risk of cancer, with long-term exposure
I guess a better way to phrase it would have been
How many daily bananaHours do you need long-term to increase your risk of cancer by 5%?
Edit: just added this to the post because commenting on my own post is stupid
I’m aware of BeD, which is the inspiration for the post.
But I’m not talking about radiation poisoning, because we’d know if spending a day in a banana plantation was fatal.
I’m wondering about increased risk of cancer form long term banana plantation exposure.
Almost certainly. But I’m not going to eat thousands of bananas in a day.
I bet it’ll be great for people who are willing to sacrifice their personal data and the environment.
Because I mean, it’ll learn your tastes and create hyper-personalized videos for exactly your tastes.
But theyll also have a hyper-specific record of the kinds of things you like. How many people gonna give it access to all their chat histories and shit. God can you imagine the potential for leaks (pun intended)?
Is it still an underpass if you’re not passing anything?
Is it still an overpass if you ain’t over shit?
Shut from where?
Shut your nostrils completely? That doesn’t seem normal.
Shut the air passage near where it enters your throat? I think that’s normal.
I’m nearly certain that nobody who died in WW2 is alive today
You can see much much further than you can hear.
You can presumably walk out of earshot. You have to go VERY FAR before you’re out of camera shot for even consumer cameras.
It’d be interesting if there was a multi-modal device-to-device communication protocol, so that you needed both line of sight and be within audio range to be able to pick up the conversation.
Although just record them typing at that point so never mind.
That’s the whole point of this post.
What if you do retain your memories, but your past lives were creatures that didn’t have the ability to form memories?
Halloween is my fav holiday. It’s just so whimsical. I wish that trick or treating was still as popular here as when I was a kid. If I can ever afford a house, I hope to be in a neighborhood that has trick or treaters
