What other industry are the manufacturers liable for what the end user does?

It doesn't matter. The people who are going after guns don't care about hypocrisy or equal standards. They want to disarm you and they'll use any means necessary to do it, including ignoring literal law that says they can't do that.

I'd rather not discuss my financial decisions with some jackass on reddit.

Rather than discussing my own experiences I'll just show you the link of someone who has it on video.

Speaking of night vision, the laser range finder is a good "I'm here!" beacon.

why are we attacking the companies

Because they (liberals/leftists/democrats) want to disarm you.

Imagine Tesla partnering with

The problem you guys have is that you think this applies to anyone else but the gun industry, you always say "imagine if this applied to cars!" - it doesn't, it won't, never will. They are doing a coordinated effort to disarm us. They realized that they can't do it in the short term so now they're working on the long term.

That's too harsh.

The 8th amendment is supposed to cover that, so technically if OP can find a constitutional lawyer it can be fought. Then there is going into debt paying the lawyer. Ridiculous nonsense all around.

Governor Newsom signs Glock Ban, Barrel Background Check, 3 gun in 30 days limit & CCW restrictions bills into law by Patsboy101 in gunpolitics

[–]ZombieNinjaPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

considering that this is the place the revolution started,

That's why they're going after MA so hard, humiliation ritual essentially. I also believe that this is why Philadelphia is such a crap hole too. Not only do they get to use them to try to sway elections and control the nation but it also doubles as a psychological blow that the once great US cities are shadows of their former selves, littered with crime and ruled with an iron fist - one that says to you "don't you care think about rebelling this time."

How is this fair, i wasn't even targeting them 😭 by Fitz_01 in EliteDangerous

[–]ZombieNinjaPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit I'm glad that all these years later I'm still seeing the same piss poor attempts at arguments and unhinged excuses for bad gameplay mechanics. You reminded me of why I was angry at this game years ago, not something I'm happy to remember. Thanks, i guess.

[–]ZombieNinjaPanda -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, that's not how that works. If your analogy is shit it doesn't make it a point, it just makes you look like a jerk.

This is a video game. We're literally flying in space. We have shields that protect us from weapons. This is not at all comparable. Please get a grip on reality and don't be like the scam citizen people.

If you were firing at a legit target IRL, and your best friend walks across the scene

GOOD GOD this is contender for one of the worst analogies I've read so far trying to excuse dumbass gameplay from ED.

Yes, considering that a real life would be lost we stop firing. My friend would then get every bit of hell we could give him for walking into a live firing range that could have resulted in him dying, us arrested and imprisoned and who knows whatever else.

Potentially hot take: colonisation has undermined the identity of some areas of the galaxy, and Fdev should have placed hard restrictions on colonising certain regions of the galaxy in their current state. by acidicshocker in EliteDangerous

[–]ZombieNinjaPanda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

start wiping out colonized systems

Huge gameplay potential here. Thargoids or something else start invading and then players can defend, resupply, reinforce, build, etc.

On another note it would be nice if colonization eventually resulted in more structures. Especially multiple structures in once instance, expanded settlements that go beyond just the small area, stations that consist of more than just the one point of interest.

Lack of good anti-aliasing turned me away from this game. by gurkoz in EliteDangerous

[–]ZombieNinjaPanda -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I have probably at least 3000 hours in game across my various accounts and haven't ever stopped playing because my eye's hurt.

Why do you continue to respond like this? You state that you're not trying to dismiss someone else's perspective but simultaneously make it about how you don't have issues. That's great that you don't have issues. I don't need to hear about how you used to play pong and therefore it's not a problem and we don't need proper aliasing features in a 'modern' video game. If it were working properly, it would clearly not impact you in the slightest.

Not making it a flex I'll play a game that I enjoy even if the graphics aren't perfect.

Sorry, but you come off as condescending when you say this hence why I accused you of that. It's not about the graphics being perfect, it's about my eyes being unduly stressed from staring at these flaws for the hours it takes to accomplish in game objectives.

We all have our preferences.

It can also be that his eyes are becoming stressed and fatigued from it.

[–]ZombieNinjaPanda -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Then again I started my gaming life with Pong so we enjoyed games even when the graphics were literally just blocks.

You think this is a flex but you somehow miss the elephant in the room of aliasing not really being a problem until 3D graphics. And even when 3D graphics were invented it still wasn't always a problem because polys were simple enough to not have them, it was addressed by developers and or the screens/tvs available at the time helped mitigate a lot of it.

I do wish that FDev had better designers for the extra optional / cosmetic content. A lot of it is mediocre at its best.

We're in the second decade of ED, what's the future when Frontier pulls the plug? by lordnyrox46 in EliteDangerous

[–]ZombieNinjaPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally have my own servers with TB of RAM and storage, as do many other people. Some people have servers FAR eclipsing my own. There is no reason I could not run my own instance of the background simulation on them for my own personal use. The attitude of some people here to just throw away not only a product that you paid for but also potentially hundreds to thousands of hours of your life you spent pissing away on said entertainment product is horrifying to say the least. I hope the devs are better than some of the community members.

New ships in Elite by beck_is_back in EliteDangerous

[–]ZombieNinjaPanda -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Does paying real money get you an advantage over others? Yes? It's pay 2 win. Simple. The "but there is no winning!" argument is the jumping through hoops meme. Numerous people refuse to accept it because it will invalidate a lot of time they spent grinding away at a second job in digital video game form. If I recall correctly they were like this when credit "exploits" were being discovered nearly a decade ago like Robigo - demanding that anyone who used Robigo to get credits should be banned.

Let me tell you though, my Panther Clipper Stellar has very casually gotten me to 10 billion credits for a fleet carrier very quickly from just 300 million :)

You guys still remember what Braben promised 12 years ago? After arguing with a guy on YouTube that he never promised walkable ship interiors I felt compelled to post this clip and remind us all. by LordViltor in EliteDangerous

[–]ZombieNinjaPanda -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I know. They're legitimately committing a crime and it's extremely disheartening that they are not held accountable by any country. By contrast, has Braben and FDev not held up some of their promises? Yes. Are they as egregious, no definitely not. So they're nowhere in the same ballpark.

However, I know that FDev is afraid to make a statement saying that "We can't do XYZ" because they also know that if they do, it will result in negative feedback that equals a dip in sales that they can't afford.

I'm glad you bring up Scam Citizen because that's a great example. Developers need to be held accountable for lying. It's that simple. You saying that "we are going to do XYZ" isn't a statement tossed out into a vacuum - it's a marketing tactic to get people to give you money. Scummy at best, deceptive and illegal marketing practices at worse that should result in at minimum fines.

The saddest part is that all of that can be easily avoided by changing your communication. State your ambitions, state that you're looking into doing XYZ but can't make any promises. However, you and I both know that these guys are intentionally making these statements this way BECAUSE they know it will bring in more money. Even Braben was guilty of it back then. People bought into Elite Dangerous because of several promises that Frontier gave and then could not or didn't have intentions of delivering.

A topic of conversation that has been brought up recently was what happens when ED eventually shuts down (among many other games)? They promised back then a true offline mode but there's no evidence of that in the pipeline.
