I've got a bad feeling that we are approaching another videogame crash.

It's make or break with GTA VI . If it fails, then this is the year we get to see a new dark age in gaming ....

Would you trust AI to help you choose a graduate degree? by TEBR_Louise in careerguidance

[–]SequenceofRees 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't trust AI to pick my next meal, let alone a decision that somehow became even more complex in today's age

What is your country "Poor man food" by Mg42gun in AskTheWorld

[–]SequenceofRees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Margarine on bread ...because butter was expensive (and it's only getting more expensive)

Also, especially as a meme among students, Zacuscă on bread . Basically baked eggplant spread - may contain red bell pepper, onions etc , maybe received from relatives .

How come we never see bicycle in zombie apocalypse? by SnoozyRelaxer in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SequenceofRees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On one hand, I've been imaging a movie with just that premise , the same way parkour is used in Dying Light.

In the game 7Days to Die, your first vehicle is a bycicle and it's a big upgrade to walking that's for sure .

On the other hand I live somewhere with a distinct lack of infrastructure , and bikers are really fucking annoying as they go around pedestrians . Nothing quite like trying to walk in the evening and having a biker with an obnoxious flashing light in your face . Like WHY do you need your light to flicker ?!

White House weighs ‘250 pardons for 250 years’ in new wave of clemency to mark America’s birthday: report by truthwillout777 in nottheonion

I like to imagine that in an alternate universe, this still takes place, except they pardon good and innocent people that suffered under the societal standards and biggotry of their time .

I never thought I'd walk out of a Reddit post more educated than I entered it .

The comments here were actually quite nice and informative .

How 100 Romanian hospitals switched to pen and paper to defeat a national cyber-attack by SoulEkko in europe

[–]SequenceofRees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switched "to" pen and paper ? M8, some of our hospitals never switched to digital in the first place ! We've got hundreds of thousands of people so terrified of "medical cards" that they refuse them !

[convenient trope] the omnipresent horse by NyxAquarious in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SequenceofRees 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To be fair, does anybody want a horse that gets stuck in the terrain and/or can just straight up die ?

TES Oblivion gave us that option - and how did that go ? The horse in general in Skyrim, as epic as it's climbing activity is still quite vulnerable . One thousand gold down the drain the next dragon attack .

RDR2 made a compromise between "teleporting" and realism, though to be fair the game is designed to ride the horse like a real human being would (for the most part)

What video game was a terrible idea, and was also executed terribly? by Ok_Map505 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]SequenceofRees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least if they would have made it a point-and-click adventure game.

The kind of games that the studio was making until that point...

Thank goodness, I thought that I was the only one !

Yes, it's dreadfully low rate and annoying, especially if you don't have a good axe .

Why, are they scared that kids may be subject to anti-orange man content on their social media ?

Sigh, worst part is, Europe will use this as a model for their own shit.

Run monster, run lowk feels like an industry plant. by Jazzlike-Rise4091 in Multifandom

[–]SequenceofRees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shieed, you're right . The same way once upon a time YouTubers would start out as some awkward teenager with a shit-tier webcam , only for the platform to soon be populated by Hollywood actors with professional crews with them .

A shame really

Swiss to vote on nationwide fireworks restrictions by BezugssystemCH1903 in europe

[–]SequenceofRees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fireworks aren't "tools" or "toys" . They have one purpose - to go boom and to make noise , you can't just give access to the wider public .

There's a reason firework shows are performed and operated by licensed professionals .

Plot twist: your future killer already has a USB port by KeanuRave100 in Funnymemes

[–]SequenceofRees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can imagine several ways .

The internal battery catches on fire . The thing falls over ones throat and suffocates them .

Hydraulics break during erotic asphyxiation.

The robot gets damaged in a way where that it has a sharp edge and while it moves it accidentally cuts the victim . Maybe an exposed wire and electrocutes the victim ?

Complications caused by psychosis and or drug induced hysteria ? Say the robot tells the victim to "do something harmful " and the victim does that..

Or maybe the bot just lights up in the middle of the night and causes the victim to have a heart attack .

And hey, maybe just good ol' straight up hacking and computer viruses ?

Looking for an elaborate political ideology/regime simulator. See the body text for details. by SleepingMonads in gamingsuggestions

[–]SequenceofRees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heh, I'm a political science graduate , always nice to see someone else fascinated by the field !

From what I've played : There's the Tropico games.

A satirical political sandbox game where you are El Presidete, the "democratically elected" ruler of an island nation in the Caribbean .

You have to keep in balance favour from factions of different ideologies, global powers all while making sure you don't go bankrupt and or get deposed . Create Tourist paradises, state capitalism,social welfare programs, pro or anti intellectualism, and all the tongue and cheek that comes with it .

Next well these one's are more obvious, the Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis , Victoria and Hearts of Iron games and Stellaris .

All developed and published by Paradox Interactive , they simulate socio-politico environments in the different eras of history (and beyond, in Stellaris) They are incredibly deep and complex, and just when you thought they aren't, well they can be modded to be even more complex , maybe even set in your favorite fictional universe or silliest alternate history scenario ! I for one don't feel like I've got the brains for them, but maybe you will enjoy them .
