    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Based on I don't think he's saying that, but I'll let him respond to it directly.

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    I'm assuming everything we know about PGo is from both the trailer and the Pokemon stuff that preceded it. In which case I think that's exactly how it works. My guess is: 1. Large swathes of geographical areas will have a large number (20+) of different spawns. Ex: The southern half of...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    This is the part where I know too little about the subject matter to know whether I know more about the subject matter than the people confidently discussing it.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I remember it, I just didn't understand it. I don't know if anyone understood it. Including Furry.

    Dark Souls 2

    I enjoyed DS a lot more when I turned off the internet and got rid of all those signs. They were funny at first but annoying and immersion destroyers. They also 'spoiled' a lot of the game by describing it.

    Fallout 4

    I'm not super excited about the outpost system because it runs counter to the setup of Fallout. In Fallout you play a wanderer who goes from area to area as a generally anonymous dude, and make choices that affect that area before moving on again. The outpost system sets you up as ostensibly...

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but in Ingress you have to convert local nodes regularly to spread your team's influence on a map, right? So someone spoofing their location would need to continuously do that to be effective. Where as in Pokemon Go, I'm imagining specific locations being central...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    If I can add to that, I think Furry has been pretty clear about it. He believes in QM, but thinks a lot of physicists overstate the applications or function of QM in many fields, ex: QE and intentionally or unintentionally misrepresent what is happening in QE experiments.

    Yeah I don't even know what Draegan was saying. Draegan, put the phone down bro. Kriptini, I'm not sure what your angle is on this so I'll assume it's schaedenfreude, which is an angle I frequently share in. Even though I look forward to a legitimate Star Citizen game you can bet that if this...

    Racism - Lets keep it civil. Also, Gravy is white.

    I dont agree with tarrants friend but i also dont think him declining to reword his argument ia a yellow flag. I wish more people would have the confidence in their argument to state it and let it stand without going in circles.

    Racism - Lets keep it civil. Also, Gravy is white.

    This post makes this thread easy. Im in the #2 camp and think that these issues would be a lot easier for ua to discuss and solve if more people thought of it in terms of cultural differences / bigotry instead of racial ones.

    Nightcrawler (2014)

    I think I enjoyed it because I don't watch a lot of thrillers/suspense movies so this felt new to me. But I totally get why people didn't enjoy it because it made them uncomfortable. There is a pretty good payoff at the end though. It's probably not worth sitting through if you don't enjoy...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I don't really understand this situation here so you'll have to be patient with me. The only evidence I see here is that: 1. Gemini 42 is owned by RSI. 2. They shot stuff for some secret film that may or may not be a side project at a Gemini 42 owned studio? Is there anything else here? I...

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    I'd say these three posts summarize my feelings pretty well. For those that know more about this stuff, what could possibly be done to stop manipulation of GPS? It seems like any kind of real security check would be incredibly invasive to your phone and easily circumventable on any...

    Gender Integration in the Infantry, and how Robots fight Misogyny

    Oh and since this thread is about robots, my argument for women in active combat is in stark contrast to an argument for more drones in the US military that I actually care about. The proliferation of less expensive and effective autonomy within the US military dramatically increases our force...

    Gender Integration in the Infantry, and how Robots fight Misogyny

    I'm talking about both, but since we're not really in an active war I'm more worried about the former. It's possible in the next few years (or really in the next year as the presidential debate heats up and the GOP could try to sell a war to get the white house) we see the war drums being beaten...

    Gender Integration in the Infantry, and how Robots fight Misogyny

    Here's the argument I have: 1. Women aren't frequently in the front line of combat ops. 2. Women who are already aminority in active duty enlisted (14%)represent a tiny minority (1%) of war casualties primarily because of #1. 3. If women were more frequently in the front line of combat ops...

    Gender Integration in the Infantry, and how Robots fight Misogyny

    You are probably right, but if thqt 144 figure was closer to 1440 i wonder if it would impact the public's perception of the cost of war.

    Gender Integration in the Infantry, and how Robots fight Misogyny

    What did you expect? We are 'only' talking some 10k casualities in those three wars, 1.4% of them being women sounds about right.

    Gender Integration in the Infantry, and how Robots fight Misogyny

    Yes, but not against the military, against the politicians trying to beat the drums of war to send our troops into a war.

    Gender Integration in the Infantry, and how Robots fight Misogyny

    The other part that makes me less annoyed that they're thinking about reducing a unit's efficacy with women is that I think our military is put in harm's way too frequently and the US public will be more affected by body bags coming home with young women in it than young men. Maybe it's...

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    I see no reason why they would change it. I'm not a pokemon fanboy but they've developed a really structured combat system that is simple enough for young kids to understand and complex enough for older gamers to enjoy. My initial reaction to the post above is funny at second blush though...

    Fallout 4

    FO4 being a survival sim would make a great game, but I agree it'd be a dumb move. Bethesda makes world-exploration games and FO4 should be no different. As long as they have the same level of modability as FO3 had, it will be made into a survival game when I play it a second time a year or two...

    Derek Smart has the same problem Utnayan has. They are biased and chosen their stance. They then spout whatever bullshit they think people will believe. A reasonable person shouldn't listen to whatever they have to say because his motivation and foundation is dishonest. Does that mean that he...

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    Cool idea. I wonder how the pokemon wod be separated. Ex: does each state have its own set of pokemon? Or will they make it so you can only catch them in parks? Edit: Actually watched the video. I agree with Brand, would be a great game to explore locations with kids. Would be funny thought...

    Nightcrawler (2014)

    I didn't enjoy Drive and thought it was a completely different film. I don't watch a lot of suspense/thriller/horror films. What other good films are there that portrayed the kind of textbook psychopath like Lou was? Taxi Driver comes to mind. American Psychopath is similar but much...

    Fallout 4

    I vaguely remember them saying there'd be a hardcore mode, but I think it's reasonable to expect it. It was widely popular in FO3 as a mod to the point of it being obligatory in FONV. If you enjoy these games as immersive experiences it's an easy improvement to make. However, it only works as...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I think that's a good assumption. Though, showing a woman who is (within the universe) hyped up to be one of the most beautiful women in the seven kingdoms but is obviously on the downward slope to becoming another older matriarch and exposing that fact to everyone in King's Landing would add a...
