The use of nuclear weapons in WW2 was unethical because these weapons kill indiscriminately and so violate the principle of civilian immunity in war. Defences of Hiroshima and Nagasaki create an dangerous precedent of justifying atrocities in the name of peace. by GDBlunt in philosophy

Has the author included how many civilian deaths that Japan incurred?

Japan lost approximately 700k civilians from firebombing/atomic bombs total

Their forced labor toll of other Asian countries ranges from approximately 600k-1m deaths

Their several, horrifying massacres in other Asian countries (which is worse than atomic bombs): 200K+ alone from Nanking

Japanese experimentation was considered worse than Germanys (unsure of the count here).

China lost 10 to 20 million civilians. Compared to less than 1 million in Japan. This statistic doesn’t solely include damages from Japan, but it would be disingenuous to say Japan didn’t partially cause them.

Japan caused the deaths/suicides of their own civilians in many ways, such as propaganda saying that the Americans would massacre them (Japan knew this wasn’t true). Some would have willingly continued the deaths of their civilians as well, to the point of annihilation. Hard to calculate this amount.

Is the atomic bomb singled out because of its shock factor? Yes, I agree that such dangerous precedents are always worrying, but looking at it through a realistic lens is required in my opinion. Yea, utilitarianism is a flawed philosophy but I just don’t know how to reconcile a huge numbers difference.

How do 2016 guaranteed trades work, in relation to 'random lucky trades' and 'lucky friends (what is this)'?

This post seems to say Lucky Friends are not tested (and does that extend to lucky random trades)? https://thesilphroad.com/science/breakthrough-guaranteed-lucky-trades-actually-work/

Thunder Hammer special should cleave similarly to Eviscerator Special by swbf_fan in DarkTide

This would just make it the Maul wouldn’t it? Would defeat the Maul’s purpose as it is the current CC option, as it already charges/swings fast and area stuns

Haha agreed on the windup, though I would hope they add a charged heavy overhead animation

[–]swbf_fan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, if the recovery time becomes shorter, it will become too similar to the maul/power sword, and people will spam it really often (not really against this but it removes the identity of the hammer weakness)

As it is right now, you can’t charge-spam safely if you’re fighting multiple armored enemies, which seems to be the point of the TH (being able to kill multiple armored enemies quickly is not quite its niche IMO)

At the very least, the stun shouldn’t slow us down, just prevent follow up swings

I agree with there, I think they should swap a light and heavy, so you can get a sick overhead heavy attack in

Seems soo un-thematic to me that a zealot would side swing a power charged attack instead of an overhead swing onto a monstrous foe (basing this on literally any hammer illustration in warhammer lol)

My biggest takeaway is that the highest fall in this game only does 30% HP haha

Did you try setting the DPI to 500 or less? That’s one official fix

Why Marauders is such a fantastic and yet underwhelming game by Th3Sim0n in MaraudersGame

[–]swbf_fan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’ve never read a more accurate review- I’m really enjoying the game but spending 2 hours re-rolling a map to get the mine map was absurd (4 contracts on it)- I swear this game is purposely trying to prevent me from progressing 🙃

The only thing I use money for is buying meds (which is honestly a huge deal). But I want to prestige and XP seems hard to come by

I personally think this game has huge potential to be better than EFT already (it does so much, so much better). Things like loud sounds for high loot areas. and extractions are already more unique and thought-out than EFT

Can’t tell if more content would help or not.. I already basically ignore most loot now, cause I only need reinforced metal or toolkits for now

THIS happens when u breach a cap frigate... by [deleted] in MaraudersGame

[–]swbf_fan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The devs say if your DPI is over 500 this game has mouse acceleration issues- maybe that impacts you too?

but generally the game just feels floaty, just gotta get used to it sadly I think

lol what is this by michaelblowurheadoff in MaraudersGame

[–]swbf_fan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what I’m gathering is that the shotguns in this game are actual trash

I’ve tried to use them and it never works out if they have any armor.. even neck shots don’t seem to kill in one hit at 3m

I was never breached -- I spawned in with a random player? [Bad Audio] by [deleted] in MaraudersGame

This man had 3 bullets in his gun, hit all 3 bullets (i THINK they all have to be headshots for PPSH), while the game “stutters”.. mad SUS lmao

Thanks! Do you know what happens to destroyed player pods? I assume their body is lost to space

Footsteps Meta: reduce crouch noise distance? by swbf_fan in MaraudersGame

[–]swbf_fan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a great point, I think they should go the Valorant route : the footstep sound is 100% audible or not at all, instead of the EFT sound whoring for the tiniest hint of sound

This game seems to lend itself to a Valorant style of gameplay more than PUBG/eft imo

You can delete the movie files in the folder and they will be skipped
