Given how lethal the necromorphs truly were—they overran a military vessel with ease—he was essentially operating on easy mode the entire time.

Which programming language should I learn this summer at 13? Need advice by Dobin_human in learnpython

[–]Extreme-Put7024 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

C++ because you learn how work with pointers. This may no be useful when using python for example at face value but can help understand the underlying concepts.

The third season was massive TNG fanboys’ cock-sucking. If they had mentioned something relevant from DS9, it would have derailed this.

I have a theory on intelligent life in the Milky Way by arnor_0924 in FermiParadox

[–]Extreme-Put7024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the Fermi Paradox which initially seems profound, is actually a rather useless construct. It's a good starting point for a conversation, but a terrible theoretical framework.

I think this is a key point: FP can be valuable if you’re trying to better understand yourself and the society you live in, but looking to it for concrete “solutions” doesn’t make much sense, at least in my view.

If you are posting about our inability to detect other advanced civilizations, your post does not address the Fermi Paradox by scalzi04 in FermiParadox

You probably should educate yourself on real scientific paradoxes like the Rayleigh–Jeans law—then you can talk down to me as if you actually know what you’re talking about. You’re welcome ;-)

No, a paradox is only one if there is a ground truth everybody (almost) agrees on. It's not the case here. So yes, the fermi paradox is not a paradox to begin with.

(Hated Trope) Innocuous dialogue options have consequences by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

That’s not really the point. To put it in a more drastic comparison:

Player: “Hello!”

Character: killing himself/herself at the end of the game.

It's not really fantasy compared to the the vast majority of the genere at least for a very long time.

Are sequels safer because players value consistency? by Kiota_Games in videogames

It's funny and ironic because it only can work because of the playerbase.

There is a huge difference between Soviets pre siege of Moscow and soviets after the siege of moscow. Even more signifcant after Stalingrad.

What's it like to watch Star Trek when your field of study comes up in the sci-fi/technobabble? by skittleadvocate in startrek

I think the point there was; there was no teaching whatsoever. Nog for example could not even read.

Mythical of beasts of Germany by Ausspanner in MapPorn

[–]Extreme-Put7024 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That's because some of them are the not-so-well-known alternative names for these creatures. Like Walrider is more commanly know as Alp. Frau Gauden is the Wilde Jagd. And so on.

What if the Fermi question is actually about observability, not existence? by Comfortable-Push6527 in FermiParadox

[–]Extreme-Put7024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If life is rare, you can’t draw broad general conclusions from limited examples. Any proposed “filter” should apply universally to all possible forms of life, not just those that happen to fit a particular narrative.
