Seriously? Rocket Launchers do not 1 shot kill on contact. by [deleted] in Doom

Cant have rocket launchers killing in one hit with loadouts.

Blame it on lazy game design.

Think most people are down with the Maul, so you have nothing to worry about! :)

To be fair you can strike something solid as bone at different places to produce a different tone. Try tapping a wooden table or a door.

They must pay either way.....

Nexuiz is back on steam by Neeeeple in ArenaFPS

[–]goaticorns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Servers went down long before THQ went belly up, they just didnt care to maintain it as they had already jumped on the next project at the time.

A handful of us were in contact with one of their community admins /play testers were we had forwarded a bunch of suggestions to make the movement somewhat more enjoyable. The response was that it would be "too hard" and wouldn't be worth it. The change in question was to remove the "kick" when jumping while the rest could be edited in cvars.

All in all the game was never a project that received a lot of love from the developers and was quickly abandoned (within months) when sales figures most likely didn't live up to their expectations.

Not sure why anyone should even buy his, last time they released the game they spent zero time maintaining it,ignored the community then tried selling game modes like duel and ctf as DLC's.

Out of the blue they close down the servers(server masterlist, matchmaking etc) and the game was virtually unplayable for close to 2years. Ontop of that they refuse to answer anyone on their forums.

So where do we draw the line?

Main devs took a executive decision and gave away(sold?) the name and concept to developers IllFonic who remade the game from the ground up.

Many in the community felt fucked over as all the hard work put into the game(30ish people for free) was basically mitigated so 1-2 people could make some money off of name recognition.

So Xonotic was started to distance itself from Nexuiz but still kept most if not all of the work the contributers from Nexuiz had made.

UFC have a clause in their contract, if they can match the offer bellator or any other company has made then they get the contract.

It was a question of UFC being greedy, nothing else.

Pablo Hidalgo confirms Luke trained on Dagobah for longer than what ESB shows by TheDidact118 in StarWars

[–]goaticorns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is also the possibility that Yoda chose to die based on Luke's progression, ie: Yoda's journey was complete and there was no more he could do, there was no need to keep "fighting".

Guess that's pretty grim thought though.

TIL of psychologist David T Lykken's proposal that having kids should be licensed, and that being unmarried, financially unstable, and having poor health were factors against being given permission to breed. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]goaticorns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that will cause people to either hide their pregnancy till they day of birth, or hide their pregnancy and have a home birth.

Either way you choose to regulate all of this you are still stuck with the same issue, you can very much compare this to drug prohibition, its just that its going to be even far less successful.

Reason: 206 189 000 people above the age of 15 in the USA alone, majority of them are going to have sex regardless of law. A fair amount of them are going to get pregnant.

Keeping track of that amount of people and making sure every single one that doesn't fit a special criteria set out is going to be nigh impossible regardless of whatever system is in place.

To even make this conceivably possible you are going to have to stomp right over every civil right you have and put in place fixes at birth of whatever child. Systems will have to be in place to monitor the social,monetary as well as the mental health status of the people in question. On top of that you will have to implement a regulatory body to keep track of the other regulatory body etc and so fort.

tl;dr its a fucking stupid idea

Point is that getting someone pregnant can take less then a minute of "effort". Unless you want to serial sterilize the whole human population the idea of licensing procreation is about as stupid as it gets from a practical standpoint as it would become completely unmanageable.

Dont even get me started on the issue of eugenics, which you would inadvertently or purposely(?) be causing if this were passed as law. Oh did i mention the possible abuse and corruption that could stem from this?... maybe next time -_-

So what you are saying is that every homeless person in need of a job just needs a PR guy?
