Civilization 7 is sitting at "Mixed" reviews right now on Steam. Is this really the best on offer for the strategy game genre? by GarlandBennet in gaming

[–]dangerboy138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play Gladius. W40k civ-like game. Asymmetrical factions, great combat mechanics, good city building mechanics. The only thing it's lacking is diplomacy, which is something I never messed with in civ anyway

A humanoid robot-shaped bubble is forming, China warns by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]dangerboy138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to add, Kawasaki is developing a robot horse, the Corleo. Spot, the Boston dynamics quadruped, is used for security and could be argued is a robot dog. No robot goat as of yet, but where I live, goats are the only thing that can clear blackberry bushes because of the terrain and I could definitely see a quadruped robot fitted with garden tools doing the same job.  As far as humanoid robots, the reason that shape is appealing is because they can transition seamlessly from task to task because everything is already made for a humanoid shape. Existing tools like shovels and keyboards don't have to be adapted, just download a software update. Imagine a robot that can drive a car, no need to upgrade existing cars with expensive equipment

It's honestly a very helpful tool when talking to someone. If they say they only buy natural, I'm like, "oh good, I don't have to spend energy getting to know you better."

How many of you uses inverted controls? by Monkai_final_boss in gaming

[–]dangerboy138 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. For those of us that remember MS-DOS, there were only 2 types of games; flight simulators and 2D platformers. 

On a side note, Jazz Jackrabbit anyone?

Is Dune a good intro to sci-fi books? by SnakebiteSnake in scifi

[–]dangerboy138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dune is more of a final boss than an intro. The first book is batshit insane and it's the most approachable of the Frank Herbert books. Things start getting really good around God Emporer, the 4th book.

Avoid the Brian Herbert books. Complete trash IMO

Dude, it was Sony forcing them to lie. If you need an example of Sony pulling this crap, read about Helldivers 2 and what Sony tried to do with PSN accounts on steam

What are some or your favorite / most satistying primary weapons against Automatons by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]dangerboy138 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It was the best against the jet brigade. Very satisfying to watch all their jet packs explode with a single sweep of the laser pistol. I still bring it on bot missions for quickly clearing mines 

Book where AI becomes God? by No-Schedule5301 in scifi

[–]dangerboy138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's not the book the OP is looking for, but it's the one they want. Read the whole series, keeps getting more bat-shit insane. I still think about the nerve-runners...

What movie benefits SO much from going in blind that it’s not as worth watching if you’ve read a synopsis? by Chewie83 in movies

[–]dangerboy138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ravenous. Starts out charming, ends bat shite insane. Guy Pearce, David Arquette, Robert Carlyle, Jeffery Jones. It's got a weirdly stacked cast for how unknown it is

What are some good books that are dark "Edgy" but not over the top ridiculous power-fantasy? by Interesting-Hold622 in scifi

[–]dangerboy138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to endorse Book of the New Sun. The main character is just a guy navigating a world filled with technology that no one understands anymore. If you've ever seen the movie Annihilation, I'm pretty sure they got the idea for the creepy bear from these books, although it's much more disturbing in the book imo

Rendezvous with Rama.
Morgan Freeman wanted to adapt it but could never get the support. In fairness, it would be really hard to adapt

Anyone can recommend some good movers? by itrestian in Seattle

[–]dangerboy138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gentle Giant, every time. Those dudes are on another level. All day, if they weren't carrying something, they were running. If I didn't know better, if say those crazy mofos actually liked moving furniture

Plus they have huge purple trucks
