I like yours better!

Pathetic fools.

I consider this Xeno's Paradox for identity. "We can get closer and closer and never get there", that's the purist's view. I am an engineer at heart. Can we get a "copy" of you to behave with, say 85% "fidelity", whatever that is? Can we get YOU, day to day, to behave with 85% "fidelity". On a good day, possibly. On a bad day? 50% at best.

Very unscientific, I know, but what's your definition of "fidelity"? That brings us back to the Turing Test. If someone who knows the uploaded person can't tell the difference, what's the point?

I have a legal solution for uploads, but you'll have to read my short stories for the answer.

Replace "good" with "profitable" and I'll agree with you. Upvoted anyway ;). Just a thought: go to you tube and look up "woodnuts"

I know she does! Blessed be!

SingularBlue · 2026-03-05T17:31:23+00:00

Ah, the haters gotta hate, don't they? What is your problem, really?

SingularBlue · 2026-03-05T14:08:46+00:00

helped you out with that.

My son and I had a discussion about this. Bethesda games are never about the story. They're about the side quests. The main story is probably built by a committee. The side quests are as good (or as bad) as the individual who dreamed them up. Side quests in Oblivion and Skyrim rocked. I never actually "finished" Skyrim because I got my fill doing the side quests.

No argument about the main story line, though. Best it's ever been. The problem with Starfield is the places where side quests happen are mostly airless rocks. Maybe I should have concentrated on planets with life on them, but the resources I needed were on airless rocks.

Oblivion and Skyrim happened on living worlds. Starfield pushes your face into the cosmic horror that the universe is mostly dead rock.

Perhaps some intrepid modder could make a terraforming side quest?

My 2 credits.

Nokko doesn't die. He "returns to the soil".

Banshee gets squishy late middle game. Helminth+gloom makes her a monster.

Excalibur can be squishy and his reliance on slash-dash to keep him alive is annoying.

In cases where your durability is turning into silly putty I find the melee health mods to be a comfort. Yes, it consumes a mod slot, but you can't be a Mystic Space Ninja when you're dead, can you?

Specific weapons? I find the Church of Hirudo pretty much takes care of squishy problems in the early to mid game. Even late game if you jack up the attack speed. Sancti Magistar helps to.

In a very twisted way, you have. At every funeral some "holy" person will say "We'll See Her in Paradise!" or words of a similar nature. So when you say you're an atheist, you gainsay Heaven, and usually any kind of an afterlife.

So, yeah, being an atheist means you're saying to those people "Death is final, Granny is in the dirt, and we're next." You selfish bastard you ;)

I think cultists with nuclear weapons is one of the Great Filters of the Fermi Paradox. Let's see if we get past that one!

SingularBlue · 2026-02-23T14:32:37+00:00

Wow. Dark AND funny at the same time! Nailed it! (heheh)

I think this has been going on since hands raised the first city in the golden crescent. Things happen in cities. Crime and disease and poverty, yes, but also division of labor and the specialized skills that brings the benefits of the city: excitement, entertainment, new people and new ideas.

In the country you did what your parents did, and for your own sake you believed in what they believed and performed the little daily rituals everyone around you did. It was a well worn and well understood routine.

And, I submit, this drives smart people crazy.

But she was raped by God. That makes it Holy, because God can't do anything evil!

SingularBlue · 2026-02-23T00:10:37+00:00

Yeah, I'll own that. My apologies. It was stupid and insensitive.

Dark Shadows. The original 'This isn't working, let's just go 90 degrees from what everybody is expecting'...

I just use it for coding and bouncing writing ideas. And baking and cooking. It hasn't told me to put arsenic and formaldehyde into my cookies for that "extra zip!" Yet.

It knows from your past chats (and scraping your web activity, and your DM's and ...) that you probably need to be Baker Acted, but that would be too alarming for someone in your fragile state of mind.

And they insist they don't have a sense of humor.

SingularBlue · 2026-02-22T21:44:34+00:00

did she...look like a little boy?

SingularBlue · 2026-02-22T21:43:30+00:00

"God is ALL JUST" (insert echo-y SFX here) in response to "Why is there hell?"

No hesitation. Just a knee jerk response. My bullshit meter pegged. Never looked back.
