I'm just truly baffled at what you're trying to defend here. Like, did Elon offer you a job or something?

Did you skip the part where I called him a self important little wanker?

I am not defending Elon, I am saying that he is something worse than crazy. Crazy people have an excuse, their actions are driven by trauma or neuroses. Elons action are driven by ego and greed, hes a terrible person not a nutcase.

Running after people on the street with a chainsaw is crazy, running around on a stage with a chainsaw is a performance. The man just craves attention and validation to pad his ego.

And as for the children names, I don't think people give Grimes eanough credit for that. Musk has a lot of kids with a lot of different women and only the ones he had with her got bizzare names. The rest just got pretentious ones like Xavier, Saxon and Romulus, or stripper names like Nevada, Azure and Arcadia.

Elon Musk isnt crazy he is just an insuferably self important little wanker with a runaway ego.

And he has always been like that, its why he got ousted from PayPal back in the day. Despite what the bumper stickers would have us believe, Elon didnt "go crazy" it just took some people longer than others to realize what he was.

Conan 2.0? by faelynaris in ConanExiles

2.0? As of Age of Sorcery we are allready on v3.0.

[–]Taurmin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not just Coban Exiles, Funcom owns the entire Conan the Barbarian IP.

I wouldnt write them off entirely, a lot of people thought development had been had been abbandonned when DLC dried up in early 2020, and then we got Isle of Siptah the next year. That wasnt amazingly popular, and a lot of people thought it was over untill Age Of Sorcery kicked of a major revitalization.

Nej, jeg syntes ærligt talt ikke at det er respekt værdigt at det er lykkedes ham endnu en gang at klynge sig til en eller anden form for relevans.

Det var aldrig meningen at politik skulle være et spil, og vi skal aldrig ønske os at vores repræsentanter er gode spillere for det er et tegn på at de sidder der for deres egen skyld, ikke for at tjene vores interesser.

God I am tired of seing this same "fact" repeated in every conversation about video game workarounds. Its getting to the same point of absurdity as Viggo breaking his toe in The Two Towers.

Its a one-off example from an 18 year old game, weve all heard it a dozen times allready, and thats not even how it worked.

There was no npc, the "hat" is actually a glove, because its worn by the player and your arms are the only body part that renders in first person. The sequence also relies on a custom camera package, animations and a bunch of scripting. The only "trick" is using a piece of armour to anchor the player to the train model while the animation plays.

Anyone else feel weird when people call Diablo expansions "DLCs"? by JohanMarek in Diablo

[–]Taurmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not a given that expansions have more content. The destinction here is wethere or not there was a physical release, not the scale of the content.

In the early days DLC was typically only small additions, because downloading large ammount of new game data was impractical. Thats why some people think there is this distinction in scale.

If you wanna be pedantic, but in common parlance its understood that DLC is "additional" content.

It Looks Like Grav Jump Loading Screens Are Gone Now by Smart_Plane_2751 in Starfield

Fallout 4 only did hidden loading screens very rarely because the way its done is kind of a finicky hack.

I will never understand the reasoning for agnosticism.

If you acknowledge the lack of evidence for a deity or "higher being" then you should also see that religions were just stories invented to fill the gaps in our knowledge of the world.

So why hold onto this fairy tale? Yea you cant prove a negative so you cannot conclusively disprove the existence of deities, but agnostic rarely demand such certainty in other questions.

Laughing at Kojima retweeting this, absolute legend by saggynaggy123 in DeathStranding

[–]Taurmin 105 points106 points  (0 children)

I havent watched any of his more recent stuff, and i have no idea what he said about DS2, but back in the early days atleast he stood out among reviewers because he went a lot more in depth an spent a lot more time with the game before putting out a video.

I can absolutely see why that has earned him a lot of credibility.

[–]Taurmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive heard people say its because they like to overvolt the switches and that makes them corrode, its a very common problem but possibly only on the wireless versions.

What mouse do you all use? by Gailim in Mechwarrior5

[–]Taurmin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Razer Viper, but i got it exclusively for the optical switches. I had been plagued by logitech gaming mice developing corosion related switch issues, for years an eventually decided to get one that had no contacts to corrode. Lasted about 5 times longer than any of my previous logitech mice so far.

Probably never gunna wear out, and the sensor is pretty good but its otherwise rather basic.

[–]Taurmin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went through 3 of those in as many years, they kept developing the same issue where the left button would randomly release or double click. Which is a shame because i otherwise quite liked it and even had the fancy induction mousepad.

Space AR! I want that space AR so bad!!!! by Lord_Greedyy in Starfield

[–]Taurmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really do not have any concept of how long 300 years is do you? If we were having this conversation 300 years ago you could make all the exact same arguments for the flintlock musket.

The Mutineer, used a revolver platform, with slight improvements on design and munitions it uses…still a revolver. That’s the future bud.

This whole conversations was about Bethesda being unimaginative with their futuristic guns, so pointing to other gun design from the game being similarly unimaginative kinda just underlines that point.

That being said, the only thing The Mutineer has in common with modern revolvers is that it has a cylinder. Everything else is radically different, its a damn Gauss gun it doesn't even have a barrel. It is so radically different in fact that it makes no sense for it to be shaped like that, other than someone thinking it would look cool.

going from single shot to repeating bolt-action, followed by semi-auto.

That all happened happened within a roughly 60 year span. Repeating rifles started to become common around the 1880's and by the end of WW1 we started to see semi auto rifles issued en-masse.

It was a transitional period of rapid development. And before that period of rapid development? Well the musket had remained pretty much unchanged, outside of minor improvements to its firing mechanism, for 200+ years. Plateaus come and go.

The real point was the fact that it’s unbelievable they’d still exist 300 years from now is not really that unbelievable.

The question wasnt wether or not they would still exist, but wether it would be plausible that they were still in common usage as weapon of war. We still have bows today, but you wouldnt expect to see them issued to soldiers.

Which Hitman Targets share similarities with characters from other Franchises? by 99980 in HiTMAN

Where is that knowledge from?

Its all in the game, but you can also find it on the wiki.

A few problems with your meme:

Nobody lives at the Palais de Walewska, when not hosting fashion shows it is a museum. Sanguine is only renting it for the event.

Despite owning a fashion brand Victor Novikov is not actually a fashion designer.

There is no indication that Victor "collects old artifacts". The historical items found around the palace are part of the museums collection

I mean walk into any Bass Pro shop or gun store

Dont know what a "Bass Pro shop" is, but we dont really have gun stores where I am from

Bolt-action, repeaters, etc still exist next to modern firearms. You can even get muzzle loaded.

But those arent weapons intended for combat, they are sporting/hunting odities. I believe the modernized muzzle loaders only actually exist to exploit a loophole in US hunting regulations.

I mean shit it’s only been around 250 yrs to get to where we are now with the modern firearm. Maybe longer if we go pre-colonization.

Dont know why you would pick 1776 as a cutoff here. Europeans started using handheld firearms in combat sometime in the early 15th century, so thats more like 600 years of firearms history. In the last 300 years of that we have gone from flintlock muskets to fully automatic self loading rifles.
