which is the most stupid thing and should be forbidden.

We need to drag this shit in front of the courts. Products are not services. There's a clear distinction.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_language_argument

Philosophers have written whole books about how words don't mean the same to two people.

Or in this case, of how your legal system uses an English word, and how my legal system uses the translated word, and how the bible or the Romans used it, again, in different languages. On top of that, in the UK sodomy refers to bestiality, which is how I'm using it (I think CBT is a sexual act), and in the US, you use it for anal sex, which is what you're using.

It's not a useful argument we're having. You just can't accept that 90% of the world doesn't share your culture.

So just semantics. I'm glad we could clear this up and can move on.

Semantic arguments are best left to linguists.

quick_escalator

I think you and I just have different semantics for "sodomy". I think any sexual act with an animal qualifies, even if it's just putting some BDSM gear on their balls. You probably think it has to be penetrative intercourse.

It's just a matter of word definitions.

"Out of control bull". Yeah, totally. It's a bull that was herded into a tight cage, then had his balls put in a vise. It's a non-consensual BDSM scenario with an animal where the animal is basically a rape victim (with added sodomy on top), and it's titled "out of control". Who does that? Well of course the same regions of the world which think gay sex isn't okay. But bull-ball-torture is fine, eh?

Bonus goes to the Americans who think Spanish bullfighting is bad, but tolerate this shit.

Yes, but you'd think that even someone of below average intelligence was smart enough to realize that the guy who constantly says racist things against your ethnicity is not the person that you want to vote.

Pressing X in rooster allows you to pick your loadout, but in hunter page there's no shortcut.

Why do we even have two screens that show the same thing, just one is slightly worse.

quick_escalator

I doubt it. It's still a higher risk target for equal reward.

Surviving a Rifle shot to the chest point blank is unrealistic too, and yet every single hunter survives every single rifle except the Nitro, every single time.

Realism is not what balance should be about.

quick_escalator

The reason we get so many remakes and remasters and IP tie-ins is because a lot of players will buy mediocre or even bad games if it's the IP that they base their personality on.

Sadly this means we get very little original, and if we do, it burns and crashes unless it's spectacularly good. I don't want more Star Wars. I've had Star Wars for 40 years. But then Concord is just not very good, so I don't want that either.

The death moment also forces 16:9 when you play on widescreen.

Always set a timer on your phone. Be it for cooking or freezing. Always.

quick_escalator

Too fast. But there should be a way of kindling the flames by sitting on the body and channeling. If you can sit on the body you deserve to burn it out.

Maybe if climate goes worse, you can have both at once!

Basically these shows are a variant of courtroom dramas, like The Good Wife, except they pretend to not be scripted.

I'd rather watch the drama, but then I'm not the target audience.

He screwed with finance bro profits: Gets arrested.

The 2008 Lehmann Brothers plunges the whole world into a recession: Slap on the wrist.

We really need to put banks on a short leash again.

Rightoids: You can't just call everyone a fascist who you disagree with!

Normal people: When it quacks like a Nazi, walks like a Nazi, and adores Hitler like a Nazi, then it's a Nazi.

quick_escalator

Yes I got it last week.

Open beta is now what timed demo was. There are zero changes between what is called the bets and release, but it's a paid demo.

Try learning to budget. It's a life skill that comes handy every day until you die.

quick_escalator

Essentially you do a lot of UI work to undo deaths. The game could just make a hunter lose levels ob deaths and keep the hunter "alive" and charge money for the lost gear. Same end result, but quicker.

quick_escalator

Frankly some game mechanics actively make the UX problems more pronounced: you only want to use every hunter once, even if they win, for the first win bonus to apply. You want to adapt the load out frequently. You need to juggle contraband copies. Contraband preset loadouts conflict with skin choice. When a hunter dies, they are just deleted, forcing you to remake the loadout. You always want a full roster for the +2 point reward. You also want to recruit 4 free hunters every round and take their stuff, especially the free medkits.

Half of these issues could be solved with non UI fixed.

The game demands constant UI fiddling and the UI is really bad at exactly that.

Try with a side of frag bombs. They are awesome for bleeding camping guys out.

quick_escalator

I would like to have more choke charges but only 30s of effect. They are interesting tools at all times, but shouldn't last forever.

As a crossbow user that feels unfair. Hitting an arm and failing to kill is how most of my deaths happen.
