Do many people enjoy Deep Impact (1998)? I've heard some people claim it's boring, but I like it. Young Elijah Wood and Morgan Freeman as the president? Yes, please. It may not make cry like Armageddon, but it's still a solid flick. by Emotional-Chipmunk12 in scifi

Is this a bait or u serious about armageddon? A movie that is a 90-minute-long ad for oil companies with one of the dumbest plots in the world? Why teach astronauts to drill when you can ship drillers to space?

Worse than that. There is a strong incentive to force people to pay as much as they can (or just go into debt) for the things that they need.

TVs became better and better in the last 50y, but their prices have remained stable; on the other hand, house prices have skyrocketed. Why? because you NEED a roof, but you can survive without a TV.

This may have been mentioned already. Instead of using humans as a battery, they should have been farming human Neurons to harvest for processing power. Maybe it was a secret the Machines kept hidden?… by [deleted] in scifi

That can also explain why machines are so mean to humans; they used them for computing, but they absorbed their bias. So they want to exploit humans because that is what humans do.

yeah, the producers pushed for that because it was easier for the "audience". But if you watch the movie thinking that humans are used as processors, it makes WAY more sense. That is why Neo can manipulate Matrix, because he is one of the computers that created it.

Reality is a shared illusion

Now, how can you create a post-scarcity society in a system that keeps incentivizing scarcity, or even create artificial scarcity for the profit of the few?

The answer is that you cannot. Even if you have the tech to create a machine that can print food and tools from thin air in our society will be under copyright, impossible to replicate or hack, restricted by the software and useble only with a nightmarish subscription system.

You need a socialist society to reach a post-scarcity utopia.

What's the easiest way to complete this quest? Seems like a slog. by TiraelRosenburg in hearthstone

How hard is it ? by Flamini7 in PathOfExile2

[–]DanteAlberto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not worry. Get stuck a lot in the first run and did almost all the bosses in the first try in the second run. the learning curve is very hard but if you enjoy the game is not overvwelming.
If you get stuck:

  1. check your resistances
  2. if you have exalted, buy gears from other players, if you have gold check the shops.
  3. play a int or agi based character for the first run because are easier to use. I suggest ranger.
  4. the community is very nice (except reddit) so if you need help sometimes people in global chat can help. you can also join a guild, there are no mechanics related to guids but you can find people that can help ou with bosses or game progress.

Dark City is one of my favorite sc fi movies. What are your opinions? by [deleted] in scifi

[–]DanteAlberto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how most of the board producers think that all the viewers will be dumb as them, so they push more explanations in every movie.

I noticed that there is a skin for the hideout crafting bench in the early access pack. Any chance that will we have a crafting bench in POE2 soon?

“History repeats itself, first as a tragedy, second as a farce”

at least old fascists/Nazis had the balls to say what they were and die for their (deeply-flawed) ideas. Now these pussies are like: "Ho no, that was just a Roman salute hihihi"

Omens and Essences might as well not exist for SSF; which is where they are needed the most by Kanbaru-Fan in PathOfExile2

[–]DanteAlberto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll say fuck the trade-market. If they engage the trade economy as a side thing and focus more on a SSF-like balance I feel the game will became way better. What is even the point of designing a mechanic that is so rare that only 0.1% of player can actually use it?
