So a company shouldn't make a product that's meant to entertain and that is in demand? why don't we blame the people who refuse to look at real life issues instead of the company that's just filling a market demand?

What do you mean? Do you mean actual games that simulate war? After all, chess was a "war simulation game" originally, and I don't think playing chess wastes brainpower. The same with modern FPS and RTS games.

I actually used c++ in highschool, so I might try this too. I have an idea for a arcade style game, and the experience and money should help out while I'm making my 3d game.

sounds delicious. a coke or mt. dew sucker would be good. I might have to try this.

Do you still live in Sweden or did you move/switch citizenship to the UK? Just wondering how you were going to avoid the government taking your kids over them not not being in reeducation camps, er, I mean school. Here in the US, DFCS has a problem with you having kids but not electricity.

I find it interesting that the person that uses the bible as their ultimate moral guide hates people sleeping with young women, incest, and polygamy when the bible condones all three.

I think it's a bit too complex for that. For example, NPCs will compete with you, using a simple AI system to get valuable resources first. Sure I could say "you have X rounds to gather it," but the more complex I make it, the more boring it is. The more interrelated variables you have the more complex the game would get. For example, strength determines melee damage, but also modifies how fast you can swing it, plus "recharge time" on the attack, plus carry weight, etc. Endurance changes how much energy it uses, how much long-term fatigue it takes off, not to mention how much general movement wears you out (which is affected by carry weight), etc. Also, I want to account for character weight, muscle mass, muscle tone, etc.

Watch other videos by the guy who made the video I posted above, especially ones for a game called "Kerbal Space Program" and the realism overhaul that makes the star system in the game the Solar system. Maybe then you'll understand the concepts of acceleration and escape velocity. Maybe a bit of fun visual aid will help you conceptualize the idea of putting a ship in orbit. As a basic explanation, though, for the space shuttles, NASA carries huge stages of extra engines/fuel up with them, then dumped them as they went up, letting them gain speed without having to carry extra mass into orbit. It works, but wastes huge amounts of money and materials with every launch. The military needs SSTO rockets, which can't dump stages and therefore need to be far more efficient at accelerating. The chemical fuels used haven't improved so much that that is now easy, but they might have advanced enough that it is possible.

I'm just curious, but what platform will it be for? I've heard of ones that can make mobile games easily, but are terrible with anything else. A lot of what you want to do sounds like scripting, which you should be able to do in most languages. Ok, my programming experience is limited to a bit of Basic, C, html, and C++, plus some non-computer PLC programming and trying to make a mod for Morrowind, but I don't see why you couldn't write a script to handle center-of-mass, navigation, and ship assembly/disassembly. Sounds a bit like a more realistic FTL or a space trader.

New physic discoveries often appear to violate established principles. At one point the conservation of matter and energy didn't include that matter and energy could be converted into one another because they didn't know that they could. Relativity appeared to violate the laws of Newtonian physics at significant portions of C. As I understand it, this drive isn't really any more a violation of the laws of physics than a solar sail. Maybe it only works because it is interacting with either the Earth's atmosphere or its magnetic field, though the way they describe it is like bouncing a ball against something (say a soccer net) to impart momentum into it. It would be an efficient Photon drive.

I did some programming in highschool and learned to program PLCs at tech school, but that doesn't help you make a game. Originally I was hoping to develop it as a single player, maybe with a multiplayer mode like Minecraft or Space Engineers. I thought that if I could find someone with a bit of experience, or after I made it, I could make a sequel which also had an MMO mode. I don't think I've seen a game with all three modes, but I thought that if everything was procedural, it shouldn't really matter if you have one or a thousand players, except that a thousand will use huge amounts of bandwidth and processing power. Much of the processing power could be offloaded to the client. Would it help if you knew the basics of the game idea? I realize that some of the people on this forum might not care about IP and want to copy my idea, but the basics shouldn't be giving away too much.

He keeps referring to socialism as an "egalitarian" society, thinks rent-controlled government housing is higher quality than houses that people are willing to pay large amounts for, and then complains about "unaccountable multi-national companies" while saying that governments should do everything for everyone. I don't think he's even really looked at the issues, unless you count reading the opinions of those that agree with him.

Does that mean we can sue the government for our taxes, and for all of the regulatory burdens placed on us? No? Just other plantations can sue them? Ok.

1) Does anyone have any experience making games? If so, can you recommend an engine? I've seen several games that were made with unity, and they looked good, but I want to look around a bit first. 2) Does anyone have any 3d modelling experience? I want to make an MMO that operates on anarchist principals.

Aren't Watchmen and V Darkhorse comics? He specifically mentioned DC and Marvel, so I was wondering. I've been wanting to create an Anarchist comic, but I can't draw worth a crap.

The first time I saw this device I thought it was interesting. Unfortunately, it needs huge amounts of energy to create decent amounts of thrust. In deep space with solar panels, it's not that big of a deal, but one of the links talked about using it for an SSTO ship. I think you would need beamed power to make that work.

Found on another website: My wife asks me while I carry my gun at home. "Decepticons" I answered. I laughed. She laughed. The toaster laughed. I shot the toaster. Good times. --- And an oldie science joke: Two atoms walk into a bar. One says "I think I've lost an electron?" "Are you sure?" said the other. The first one replied "I'm positive."

My question is, is it euthanasia or assisted suicide? Are the old people calling you up, saying "I'm old as dirt and have so many health problems I can't stand to live any more," or are they finding people that are just "too old" and killing them?

I got through about 4 minutes, but there isn't really a point in listening to the rest. Everything she's mentioned has already been covered in this discussion. She makes so many assumptions and just treats the other side like it's ridiculous so much that I can't take her seriously.

It would help if I knew what TPP was. Also, the question is leading.

Something else that I realized after rereading your post, is that you still see child support as restitution to the woman. It isn't. It is money for the child. She, as the one that is watching the child and caring for it, is merely the one who decides how to use that money for the child. They take responsibility by raising it, you take responsibility by providing for it monetarily. And before you say anything about it, the roles can also be reversed.

So basically, because the current system gives the mother preferential treatment, you can't comprehend a system in which she wouldn't receive it. I've mentioned the difference, but you choose to ignore it so that you can continue to talk about how unfair the current system is. And "different term" is meaningless as an argument. "Taxation" and "armed robbery" are different terms, too, but they are the same thing. You are literally arguing semantics. Marriage isn't "the only contract", and doesn't necessitate children either. Obviously, this conversation is going to go nowhere, as you refuse to read what I wrote and I can't force you to read it.

I haven't stated any exceptions for the mother, I stated exceptions for either parent. Neither parent can just abandon the child. Either they have to convince the other to take full responsibility or they have to convince someone else too, or both parents together must convince someone else to. Whose actions had consequences that need someone to take responsibility for them? That answers "who should take responsibility". When it is both parents, both are responsible. If one of them changed to situation to defraud or assault the other, though, it's their responsibility almost completely, if not completely. In that case rules against murder can't be universalized because there are situations in which killing another person against their will is acceptable. It applies to both equally. Either can commit rape, and either can defraud the other in order to create a child against the other's will. So, because people can lie to make a situation favor them, rules can't exist? How do you deal with it in any other case of an exception to a rule? What makes sex consensual and not rape? What make it a boxing match and not assault?

Except I'm not just strengthening them slightly, I'm treating them like a person and telling them where they can get something which meets their needs but hurts us in no way if they get it. At the very least, the customer now trusts us more. At most, they'll come to us more because they know that we won't try to leave them without what they need out of fear that they might go to someone else to get something we couldn't provide anyway. And yes, they are fine. In fact, they told me to do that because they understand what customer service means.
