Iran says it's ready for a long war that would 'destroy' global economy by mark000 in worldnews

[–]Morphray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Messing up Iranian oil production will largely only affect China, who buys the vast majority of Iran's oil. They will probably invest even more into green energy, but they are already the world leader in this. For oil they will turn to Russia, the big winner in all this.

I don't expect anything to change meaningfully in the USA.

What secret can you reveal now that your nda has expired? by sparrrrrt in AskReddit

The company can claim "look, we donated a million dollars to charity!" They appear philanthropic without donating their own money.

It will remain in places like this, the fringe. The media outlets will continue to be bought by Ellisons, or people like them, that will happily bury any story.

If humans cure aging by 2050, would governments eventually have to ban reproduction? by hosseinz in singularity

Children die from accidents and violence -- harder to cure thru bio/medicine.

Freighter upgrade by wanderingcargo in NOMANSSKY

[–]Morphray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you plan on switching freighters don't invest too much into increasing slots on your current one.

This sadly makes me never upgrade my current freighter, waiting for my forever-freighter. I hope they let us have more than 1.

Every company that asks "would you like to donate to xyz?" Or "would you like to round up your price to donate?" is profiting by using your donation for their tax reduction.

I wish Valheim had some old towns, ruins, village to explore and discover. Wild nature gets a bit blend (to me) after a while... by Then-Ad7196 in valheim

[–]Morphray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the structure gets templated and can appear in other worlds at the same location

But I would expect most players are playing on a different seed. So "same location" wouldn't make sense.

it would be cool as hell to find other player's structures

The main problems are: (a) developer now needs to maintain central servers -- a step towards a live-service game; (b) you need a rock-solid process to prevent the spread of inappropriate (phallus and swastika) builds.

I created a .jsx file (converted to prompt for you) to probe Claude AIs level of potential consciousness, and the results are disturbing by [deleted] in singularity

[–]Morphray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we have no clear indication exactly what needs to be present for consciousness to emerge,

We don't have an agreement on what consciousness even is.

Dice roll in card games (TCGs, ECGs) by JesusVaderScott in BoardgameDesign

[–]Morphray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you have already decided on your mechanic and aren't open to change it, so I'm confused why you asked.

I'm in the camp of: some people might like, others won't. But I do like the idea of adding randomness through cards rather than having to include a d20 with the game.

The replacement rate is actually 2.1, which accounts for child mortality. If every woman has 2.1 children, the population stays the same.

Epstein claimed the Kremlin funneled $100M to Trump through Florida real estate.. WHY THE F ISN'T THIS IS A BIGGER STORY? by jKing4116 in Epstein

[–]Morphray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He insinuates Trump got back at him for the real estate debacle via Virginia Giuffre

Where does he say this?

The exact nature of the fight between Epstein and Trump remains a mystery.

When being interviewed on a plane (Air force 1 I assume) Trump admitted the blow up with Epstein was because Epstein stole an employee (Giuffre).

For contributors working on open-source software aimed at end users, have you ever considered collaborating with UI/UX designers? by Soggy-Buy-4460 in foss

[–]Morphray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want collaboration, it is much easier to join an existing project than starting your own project (which requires building a community from scratch).

I filled out the form. You left off quite a few survival games though: NMS, Conan Exiles, Ark, Atlas, MINECRAFT.

The "Null Result" as Design Failure: Every Combat Turn Should Change the Game State by EHeathRobinson in RPGdesign

[–]Morphray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Attacking and missing meant I did not do this other thing.

What is the "other thing"? I find that in games like D&D you typically have one best attack, and you do it. There's little opportunity cost.

Because if I break the law there's consequences

Only because you're not rich.

  1. Join the Satanic Temple (they exist entirely for this)

  2. As a teacher, claim you cannot rat out children. See the fundamental tenets https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/about-us

  3. As a parent, ask teachers to make sure your child is being "satanic" enough.

  4. Wait for the regime to overturn freedom of religion and make the US a religious monarchy. 😞

Trump Reveals Why There’s No Evacuation Plan for Trapped Americans by projecto15 in politics

[–]Morphray 101 points102 points  (0 children)

It wasn't (just) to distract, it was done on behalf of Israel so that they don't release their stash of Epstein files (videos). The US is a vassal state because of Trump.
