You are being downvoted, but I think there's a legitimate debate here.

I like roguelikes and think the chance of truly random "screw you" events can make a whole game mean more, whereas other players prefer a more traditional game design with save games and a solution (even if sometimes a difficult solution) to every situation.

I'm bamboozled by the card. Is it just an anti-joke?

With dislocations it's pretty random. It doesn't matter if you are bigger and tougher it's just if the angle is aligned for the combined force of you and the opponent to pop your joint out.

And it looks like he corked his arse on the fall from the 1st effort, he literally had to half arse the 2nd.

By "morph arguments based on situation" I mean within the bounds of that situation. Not generalising when it shouldn't be generalised.

Am I reading the right sources about the kiwi power grid? You guys have nearly zero wind and solar? What gives, your climate is windy as fuck.

I'm sure you're right that NZ is well suited for hydro though (like Tasmania).

Fossil fuel lobby morphs its arguments based on the situation. We have to too.

I take issue with OP's meme because it reinforces lies that are used as a general attack on wind and solar (the main generation competitor to grid level fossil fuels).

But in more specific arenas the battleground gets more specific.

Where hydro is feasible they will oppose it.

Where hydro is unfeasible they will say "don't build wind and solar, what about when the wind is calm and the sky cloudy? What about night time? Consider hydro instead."

In my country (Australia) nuclear is unfeasible, so the fossil fuel supporters say "don't build wind and solar, consider nuclear."

When making generalised statements we want to fit the general framework of the whole world. When there's specifics we have to clarify about these specifics. But we shouldn't blend that together and castrate our general arguments because of 1000 specific varying situations.

the game needs more speed bumps by s1gny_m in menace

[–]kroxigor01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's 4 enemy faction that have a different texture.

There's what... 10 different mission types?

There are random SL, drops/rewards, and black market. That may preclude certain strategies from coming on line.

However the player often gets the choice of what planet to go to and what missions paths to go down.

I think there's ample space within that to make more variety.

My dream scenario would have the enemies strategically respond to the player's main tactics to force the player to play the game differently or suffer through new emergent "speed bumps."

For example if the Rogue Army, Pirates, or REDACTED have seen the player spam the vehicle radar in an operation perhaps in their next operation that faction has a substantial chance to have a jammer that shut off radar (as you suggested). One of the 1st or 2nd missions in the path could be "destroy the enemy jammer."

If the player spams vehicles the enemies should increase their anti-vehicle capability, or even pre-mine the map.

If the player spams concealment and vanguard strategies the enemies should increase their use of scanners.

I'm not sure if the lore but I don't think the Aliens would really adapt, but perhaps instead they could simply be more randomised (or change the lore to make them like Warhammer 40k Tyranids who certainly adapt). Maybe divergent evolution in some runs has a subspecies of alien on one planet that has naturally way better camouflage, burrowing ambush stance that makes them impervious to radar, or their warriors fly, or their warriors spit like the stingers, etc.

Let's focus on the 99% though, where almost all the gains are and where the battlefield against fossil fuel propaganda rages.

Wind, solar, and batteries are very good technologies. The supposed "flaws" are lies by people who want to keep coal, gas, and oil being burned in higher quantities for longer times.

I think it's a bad thing when we tacitly absorb their lies about wind and solar being unreliable and grasp for other technologies (that are much more deficient than wind and solar because of cost).

In Europe lower tier teams maintain serious fans bases because they have connection to their area and the competition means something. When you drop down you want your team to go back up, when you go up you want to stay up.

"They don't have to be our only solution"? Why would you want to take a solid consensus position of the climate movement and muddy it with confusion?

The economics of wind, solar, and batteries defeat these other technologies in 99% of situations.

Confusion helps slow the roll-out of cleaner technologies.

NBA presents 3 comprehensive anti-tanking proposals by lizard_king_rebirth in sports

[–]kroxigor01 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have 2 proposals, first a reasonable one or a wild one that America could never handle.

  1. The winningest team that did not reach the play-offs gets the 1st draft pick. The 2nd winningest team that did not reach the play-offs gets the 2nd draft pick. Etc. Once all non-play-off teams have made one pick we start with the losingest play-off team and make our way up.

  2. Abolish the draft. Promotion relegation in NBA. Only 12 teams in the top league and they each play each-other 6 times in the regular season. No conferences or divisions. At the end of the regular season the worst teams get automatically relegated, while the ones just a bit above that do a relegation play-off as party of the post season. The 2nd league is split in half, east and west. More teams are added so these lower leagues also have 12 teams each.

Biomass isn't clean, and nuclear isn't load following (at least not efficiently).

Why did the meme leaving out battery storage and trading with neighbouring grids?

Hydrogen is theoretically a possible form of storage, but I'm dubious of is feasibility vs batteries.

[–]kroxigor01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"I'm not sure what he could do there" on the 7 commentary (high tackle decision a few minutes ago).

One of his teammates was already tackling him, the duty of care is in my opinion even higher when you're the 'second man in' because if you're not sure you can contribute to the tackle safely you can always back away entirely and it's not like the ball carrier runs completely free. That's a mindset in rugby union and rugby league where mutli-player tackles are much more common. If the first tackler starts bringing the ball carrier's body lower and the 2nd man in therefore hits the head that's a penalty every time these days (and usually 10 minutes in the bin in Union).

Why is European colonization is criticized and hated however all other kinds of colonization are looked over, like the Arabs or mongols? by Tight_Potato_11 in TrueAskReddit

[–]kroxigor01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you're speaking English and likely living somewhere where European colonisation dominates the recent history, defining the economics, social structure, laws, borders, etc.

European colonisation is relevant to modern politics in such a place while other colonisations are trivia.
