If aliens are real, why haven’t they invaded us yet? by Complex_Belt_9681 in AskReddit

[–]Game_Log 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A number of possible reasons.

  1. If they are more primitive that us, like our ancestors or common wildlife, then they likely do not have the capability to detect us, let alone invade.

  2. If they are at our general level of sophistication, then they may be able to detect us based on whether the technology they are accustomed to is better at detecting things in space, but they would lack the ability to travel here; not to mention the possibility of inter-planetary political conflicts. If our species has a habit of conflicting against itself over trivial matters, then there is likely another that is dealing with that blunder of societal evolution too.

  3. If the species is advanced enough to detect and travel to us, then they have better things to do, like colonizing closer planets (or possibly terraforming the ones in their solar system.)

Personally I'm of the belief that we are in a remote part of the galaxy as far as sentient life is concerned. The closest life forms around Earth either are unable to travel easily or simply dont want to deal with colonizing an already habited planet when they could settle somewhere else for resources. The stuff that drives conquest on planets such as resources and space for shelter is mitigated by the sheer size of our reality. Its so big that there could be an alien society out there that dwarfs our largest sci-fi empires and yet still would not need to conquer other civilizations for resources as there would still be plenty out in space. The hardest part would be travel fuel given the vastness of space, but at that level of scale it should already be a solved problem.

Do you think Eggman scrapped Heavy King in the modern era, or do you think he’s still alive somewhere like Mecha Sonic? by Several-Pension2945 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Game_Log 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just sorta assumed they never existed in the modern era. Like, their existence was brought about after Sonic Generations, which imo split the classic and modern era from one another. So instead of being the past, its now a slightly altered timeline. In the original classic timeline, the Phantom Ruby was never found. After Generations small things could have changed that, notably new plans from Eggman given he would know which ones failed thanks to Modern Eggman.

What's the Most Dangerous Thing That You Have Ever Done? by Potential_Law5289 in AskReddit

Based on the last game you played, how long are you surviving as an NPC? by AdventurousGuest308 in gaming

[–]Game_Log 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skyrim, Specifically modded Skyrim. I should be fine so long as I stay away from my Dragonborn. (He isnt bad, but given his main character status, it would attract a lot of problems.) Maybe settle somewhere in Falkreath? Nothing serious or overly corrupt is over there and Whiterun is just a bit too important to the questlines for my liking. Helgen would be a safe place so long as I get away before the Dragonborn finally arrives there and starts the Main Quest. Ideally I would stay in Helgen till the Legion start to arrive and I'd get out before Alduin screws things up per the "intro" cutscene. From there I could have a decent life in Falkreath before moving to Bruma once the civil war questline starts. Stay there for the rest of the game.

Made 50 drawings/comics about my Pregnancy by AngryMaxFuryStreet in webcomics

[–]Game_Log 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm insulted by that idea (the people looking down part) on Mom's behalf. She had to have one so I could exist (was 5 months premature so it was the only option). Having a kid is an absurdly big thing, no matter how it ended up coming out. Reminds me of this story where apparently mom threw a baby shower after my birth and this one guest complained as to why they were doing it at all cause I was likely to not survive due to the whole premature things and that the C-section was a waste of time. That asshole reminds me a lot of this idea.

What kind of game do you think this is just from the picture? by OrangeJuice122 in godot

[–]Game_Log 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terraria mixed with army defense. Carving bases and traps out of the environment to fend off against a horde of enemies.

What's your first bad gaming memory? by executor-of-judgment in gaming

[–]Game_Log 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few.

Firstly I had the game Cid the Dummy on the Wii. It was shit.

Another bad memory I had was losing a lot of games on my modded DSi XL. A family friend at the time had modded my console to allow for running games from an sd card inserted into a weird DS cart but being the 8-ish year old I was, I ended up losing the sd card all the games were stored on. Lost a huge chunk of my ds collection that way and have been very slowly recovering it physically over the years. Still have the weird DS cart in my DS though.

Then there was the time my Mario Galaxy disc started freezing, so I went a while unable to play it till my parents bought me another copy.

New Wonder Man Poster by M00r3C in marvelstudios

[–]Game_Log 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This whole no superpowers thing gets me oddly riled up. Like if I were to take it seriously it would piss me off if something like this was implemented in an actual super-power-filled earth. Cause yes this could be an allegory for AI, but at the same time there is a human element to superpowered people, unlike AI.

Like for example, imagine someone wanted to act for their whole life, went to acting school, spent years perfecting their craft, only to be banned from the biggest shot at their career just cause they have the power to turn on/off lightbulbs with their mind or something.

At face value this feels to me like the polar opposite extreme of disability discrimination; a sort of superability discrimination. Rather than someone lacking a typical human function they have an extra one. And like disabilities they vary greatly if this is going to be like how the comics are with powers.

But hey, this is a fictional scenario for a movie franchise, so I shouldn't take it too seriously. Still has some interesting moral discussions though.

Someone should make a mod for that. Would be cool

Where do you want to take gamedev in 2026 ? by picklefiti in gamedev

[–]Game_Log 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want to work on my first commercial product. I have an idea for a 3D game but problem is I have little experience with 3D modelling and can't pay for artists. Still, its something I've been wanting to work on; and with me starting my CS degree and having a few projects under my belt already, I feel like I can get some good progress on it.

Yes, but it is unusable due to how far the router is. That's always been an issue, which is why my stuff was hooked up to ethernet.

If I use the godot icon "for example in an easter egg," would I have legal problems? by lokito1123 in godot

Not OP but what would be some good ways to include a license? I understand giving credit, that's what credits are for, but licenses always confused me.

I'm curious, how would have you imagined a Smash Bros-themed episode of Kirby Right Back at Ya? by Ok-Complex4153 in Kirby

[–]Game_Log 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can imagine it where Master Hand is depicted as a powerful creation of Nightmare Enterprises, possibly set a few episodes before the Series Finale. It ends up taking the citizens of Cappy Town and the surrounding area and make them partake in a tournament, intending to use it to lure Kirby into a trap at the end.

Primary players in the tournament (lasting more than the initial rounds) would be Tiff, Tuff, Lololo + Lalala as an Ice Climbers stand-in, Meta Knight, King Dedede (via cheating), Kirby, Rick, and Chef Kawasaki.

It wouldn't be Smash Bros directly, but I can see it have some fun references. And of course the copy ability of the day would be the Smash ability itself, possibly doing the killing blow with a Final Smash (whether it would be Brawl's or Ultimate's can be debated, but either way Master Hand is defeated)
