For me it's time travel. So many times you'll see science fiction openly doing paradoxes and causing time wars. Star Trek and Doctor Who are the biggest offenders of this. SG1 had an episode or two with it.

If you attempt to cause a paradox without traveling to another universe (99% of the case in SF), you will fail before you create the paradox. Take the example of killing Hitler. You can't do it, because you've already failed in the past, or at least, your future self failed to do so, which caused your present self to make the attempt. So in the process of the attempt you will fail no matter what you attempt to do. Maybe you get stopped by some guards. Maybe he ducks at the last minute. Maybe your time machine crash lands. At best, you can observe and cause things that you didn't notice or correlate to the present.

If you do the "oh it's a different universe" thing, I tend to see that as just a cop out and lazy writing. And it's rather boring to. What stakes can there possibly be if you can just hop to a universe in which XYZ happened/didn't happen?

The best part about my project but was is that on mobile or with that you can just breed a dog whistle take random keyboard suggestions.

Piss on carpet.

I thought this was an onion article at first.

Fuck this place.

That is true. But we now have consumer drones that are very easily weaponized. The guards don't need to be human, but neither do the attackers.

And there's a limit to how good human/nonhuman security can be.

Gonna stray a bit from the other games mentioned here for the sake of adding something unique.

It's not your traditional nazis per say, but the half life series fits quite nicely with this urge. The combine are genocidal, totalitarian, they use shit loads of propaganda, etc. They don't have the looks of it, but they're clearly the nazi type.

Surely this will make groceries more affordable.

It doesn't need to be sudden. It's a fucking problem.

I hope it's effective.

Because it's fucking stupid.

He makes the ferengi look generous and benevolent.

So it turns out all of the rails in my old blueprint book are now labeled as legacy rails. They are semi compatible with the new rail system, but not completely. To the credit of the devs, they work together so seamlessly that I didn't notice until I hit the 50 hour mark for my current save.

But that's the issue, at least for me. About half of my rail network is legacy rails, the rest the new stuff. And worse, the grid doesn't perfectly align between them, so creating new blueprints that align with the old rails doesn't really work.

From what I can tell, it doesn't really effect anything. But if any of you are about to start a new save and use an old blueprint book, it's probably worth updating it all.

 
 

I don't know if anybody else has noticed, but this area has been hit particularly hard by creepers. If you come across this chest, please donate some dirt/sand to fill these holes in!
