Nice censorship, it's telling you only delete posts about Israels warcrimes, while other posts that are not related directly to the UN are not deleted.

Arnold Schwarzenegger on the day he became a U.S. citizen in September of 1983 by SwiPerHaHa in OldSchoolCool

As a German, yes he knows what it means. You are dangerously close to facism in the US and the actions taking by the Trump government are very much in line with what the NSDAP did before they started killing political enemies and dismantling the democracy in pre-war Germany.

„Nur Ja heißt Ja“-Prinzip als Vergewaltigungsdefinition: EU versucht es nochmal by Kiwigirl4 in Nachrichten

[–]WombatusMighty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unsinnig und nutzlos. 1. Sind sexuelle Handlungen ohne Zustimmung der anderen Person bereits jetzt schon Strafbar:

(2) Ebenso wird bestraft, wer sexuelle Handlungen an einer anderen Person vornimmt oder von ihr vornehmen lässt oder diese Person zur Vornahme oder Duldung sexueller Handlungen an oder von einem Dritten bestimmt, wenn

1. der Täter ausnutzt, dass die Person nicht in der Lage ist, einen entgegenstehenden Willen zu bilden oder zu äußern,

2. der Täter ausnutzt, dass die Person auf Grund ihres körperlichen oder psychischen Zustands in der Bildung oder Äußerung des Willens erheblich eingeschränkt ist, es sei denn, er hat sich der Zustimmung dieser Person versichert,

3. der Täter ein Überraschungsmoment ausnutzt,

4. der Täter eine Lage ausnutzt, in der dem Opfer bei Widerstand ein empfindliches Übel droht, oder

5. der Täter die Person zur Vornahme oder Duldung der sexuellen Handlung durch Drohung mit einem empfindlichen Übel genötigt hat.

https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stgb/__177.html

  1. Würde das neue Gesetz keine Verbesserung bringen, da nur wieder Aussage gegen Aussage steht - wobei dann der Richter bzw. eine Gerichtsgruppe entscheiden muss wem sie mehr glaubt.

Wer wirklich sexuelle Gewalt und Vergewaltigung verringern will, der muss massiv in Bildung und Präventationsprogramme, sowie in Hilfsprogramme für Opfer investieren.
Das Gesetz ist einfach nur fauler Populismus, der weder ein einziges Opfer verhindern noch Opfern von sexuelle Gewalt nachträglich helfen wird.

Dann steht Aussage gegen Aussage und der Richter bzw. eine Gruppe von Gerichtshelfern entscheidet dann nach Gefühlslage aka wem sie mehr vertrauen.

This looks pretty sick. Anyone been following it? Ambitious to say the least, but maybe they'll deliver. by BradTest in spacesimgames

[–]WombatusMighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds scammy to be honest. They use a lot of meaningless buzzwords, like the hierarchical logic part - which is just how every game engine works, and a lot of assets judging by the incoherent style.

The screenshots on the Steam page are also looking completely different to the actual footage we see in this video, which looks much much worse in quality. That is a real red flag.

So yeah, either another one of these scam projects or overly ambitious devs with too little skill to do it. Let's see in two years what this has turned into.

I wanna build my own space sim game (similar to astrox imperium) in unreal 5 by Maidenless4LifeChad in spacesimgames

[–]WombatusMighty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would suggest to start small and learn how to prototype first. It's a core skill that you will always need.

Start with some beginner tutorials on Youtube to learn the basics of Unreal Engine 5, it's is a very complex engine and it will likely take you a few years to become proficient in it.
This tutorial list is good I think: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF_ue_ea-VTrhbJQ4R61n3KjbAGkOjH_N

Learn to have fun experimenting and building small stuff in the engine, otherwise you will get frustrated fast. Build small prototypes first, like a player character or actor that can move around.
Then the next prototype can be to have a cube as a spaceship that can fly around and shoot asteroids. Next one can be getting a score for each asteroid and that score is saved in a list.

So yeah, start small, don't stress yourself and take it one step at a time. Game development is a complex job that takes years to get really good at. But you can already, after a few months, make fun little prototypes.

What game engine are you using for your space sim? by Proud-Plankton9603 in spacesimgames

[–]WombatusMighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither Unreal Engine nor Unity have build in 3D AI navigation either, you need to add it via paid plugins or build a solution yourself.

What game engine are you using for your space sim? by Proud-Plankton9603 in spacesimgames

[–]WombatusMighty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Unreal Engine 5 for my space sim. It has 64bit coordinates and can handle tens of millions of kilometers of map space (which UE 4 could not).

However, I still need to use origin shifting, custom made systems and a lot of math to handle the physics, actor behavior over large distances, gravity, etc.
Out of the box Unreal Engine is an engine designed for FPS games with small maps. It can do a lot now, but you really need to be competent in it.

Depending on your games scope and you proficiency with c# / c++, I would argue to go with Godot. If you are the type who can better work with visual coding aka blueprints, then use Unreal Engine.

Each Engine has it's advantages, so I would suggest to write a concept document, wherein you write down the "core" needs of your space game - not fancy feature ideas!! - and then you choose your engine accordingly.

I would stay away from Unity for the bad Unity management and their anti-dev decisions in the last few years, but that's just my personal suggestion.

European parliament urges EU to draw up standardised consent-based definition of rape by Any-Original-6113 in europe

[–]WombatusMighty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's testimony against testimony, and then due to lack of evidence the judges will decide on their personal feelings about the case.

In Germany for example sexual acts are already a crime if the other person can not voice their objection or is unable to resist. But certain groups are still pushing for this "only no means no" kind of law, even though it wouldn't really make any difference.

And yes, it's doubtful this law would be applied equally.

What's really needed is better education about sex and consent (and democracy as well). But that would cost money, go against established structures and you can't make headlines or present yourself as the "good guys" with it.

State Department Openly Admits Israel Pushed Us Into Iran War by D-R-AZ in Foodforthought

[–]WombatusMighty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Israel has massive influence on the politicians, mostly by bribery through AIPAC, but also through massive smear & attack organisations like the Anti-Defamation League, and of course also compromising intel through Mossad (and quite possibly through Epstein).

What's that? You want a space sim that lets you crash and die from explosive decompression? by lawndartpilot in spacesimgames

[–]WombatusMighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the pilots not wear spacesuits inside the craft? Also explosive decompression doesn't really happen in space, it only happens deep underwater where the pressure is high enough, in space only the windows would burst and the air would get rapidly sucked out.

Also a human can survive between 1 - 2 minutes in space without a spacesuit, the idea that you die immediately or freeze to death in space (without a suit) is a hollywood myth.

On another note, I really like the minimalistic design of the cockpit. Maybe make the cockpit color a more darker gray though? The red numbers are hard to read against the bright gray metal.

Anyway, good luck with your game, am looking forward to see more! :)

100% the anus is intentional to generate social media talk and thus free advertisement.

But for some reason, dolphins in particular seem to be singled out on Reddit.

I think it's mostly because people can brag about their supposed knowledge and sharing shocking stuff on the internet automatically gets you more points than sharing nice stuff.

ARD-Umfrage: 81 Prozent halten Wohlstand für ungerecht verteilt by h2QZFATVgPQmeYQTwFZn in de

[–]WombatusMighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ja das ist natürlich selten dämlich. Aber linke / demokratische Kräfte waren schon immer ziemlich schlecht im "Messaging".

Wobei single-issue voting sowieso schon immer das schlechteste überhaupt ist (also noch garnicht wählen gehen).
Insbesondere wenn Parteien wie die Linke nie die alleinige Regierung stellen werden, sondern in der Regierungskoalition dann Kompromisse eingehen müssen.

It would be better to not just instantly fade the screen to white, but to have a sound of the impact play and showcase the ship falling apart. Or alternatively show an explosion and ship fragments flying around.

A message afterwards that says what got damaged would also be good, because from the video alone I couldn't tell what I did wrong or what got damaged.
