You are just not recognizing fun that don't resemble yours.

>Don't realistic future ships have any kind of PD?
I just told him truthfully what would be realistic.

>Can we have zero-G judo too?
Actually a fascinating topic (to read on Atomic rocket) because of how much current martial art rely on gravity.
The anime PLANETES made a really cringy take on "moon ninjas", a shame as lower gravity would easily allow jumps not possible on Earth, just imagine one of those "rotating kick" in 0.1G.
As for 0G... both opponents jumping from wall to wall, only stopping when they can grab a handle. Each jump they try to kick or grab opponent in a way that send them waltzing against a wall, or allow them to connect a punch with extra force and inertia?

AI was murdered in its crib by a bunch of bad actors.
The rationalist doomsday cult is trying to keep all advancements locked up so that only god emperor Yud has full control over the paperclip maximizer.
A bunch of government agencies probably took control of some tech for national security reasons.
And the AI grifters themselves just got lost on the hype train and are now rushing straight at a brick wall. Thanks to their poisoning of discourse it has become impossible to actually gauge AI development.

We are about to see a glorious flaming wreckage, thanks to Nvidia selling the shovels for the biggest bubble rush in history. Give it a year or two and the economy will fucking break.

Yes, it's one of the best known corruption scandals in the last 40 years of American criminology. Beat cops have no power. The district attorneys, prosecutors, chiefs and mayors are who have power; and high numbers make them look bad so almost every city that embraces a crime-data reporting program slides into downgrading crimes to make the local elites look good. In America this mostly happens through the plea bargaining system. It's how criminals with 20 convictions are still on the street. Instead of going through the work of a jury trial, cost of a jail, and embarrassment of high felony numbers, the prosecutors offer to downgrade serious crimes to something minor if the defendant pleas guilty to a misdemeanor with a minimum sentence. Everyone wins except the ordinary people.

NTA that you're responding to, but cloud seeding actually is the problem. Look at the chemicals used to precipitate the reaction:
>silver iodide, a highly reactive metal
>potassium iodide, increases photosensitivity
Alternative methods include atmospheric ionization. Disrupting the natural hydrological cycle and distributing metals and photosensitizers across populated areas... are not good things. Even leaving the chemicals themselves aside, I believe that the evidence will eventually show that many of the effects attributed to the vague and nebulous concept of "climate change" will eventually be proven to be at least partially caused by cloud seeding practices. I leave you with a common sense pair of questions:
>What happens to your aquifers, rivers and oceans if you artificially force clouds to form and rain to fall?
>Where does the water in clouds come from?

MRAPs aren't tanks either, they're shitty GWOT troop transports that we later realized sucked ass. They're hard to store, expensive as fuck, didn't work very well in the first place, and are borderline useless in a conventional war.

What you and the other retards don't understand is that the masquerade is not about keeping random people unaware, it's not even about keeping the average working man unaware. Who the fuck cares if Joe Schmoe knows his neighbor drinks blood? He's a nobody with no power. The point is to keep it from being a thing that serious people who could actually do something will know and talk about.

I won't criticize a writer for trying to explore a new corner of the setting or experiment with writing about it from a new angle, but I also know Dale Lucas is hardly on top of many of the basic elements of the setting, so I suspect your impression might be very close to spot on.

BL can do it. It's just a matter of doing it right. They've put out books from vampire perspective enough times that they can do inhuman monsters. Or Chaos marine books.
I think a book from the perspective of a Wight King would be interesting. Someone who used to be human and rules a kingdom but has long since detached from the concept of mortality. Basic a vampires but less thirsty. Has there been any written conflicts between wight kingdoms and OBR? That's a fun conflict, skeletons protecting their own bones from the tax man.

>every week that the route is properly operating they make a net profit of 2d20 gold
Not a very impressive amount of gold for session 49. But then again you're playing Bumbling FOE RPG, so gold is just flavour, I guess?

Glad for you that you're having fun and running a successful campaign, though!

>>96583627
The only thing that's really missing is an index. Very cool anon.

>>96587840
I guess it's important to note that, that is the passive income for just that route. They make money from having bases of operation on both ends of that route too. (They both make about 2d20 each.) It's not a lot, but this is literally "Sit on your ass" money.
There was a chance for the players to make quite a bit of gold and access to resources early on in the campaign, in the form of a mine that they helped clear out. But they kind of fucked up the interactions following and gave it away to some dwarves.

>>96587767

>The fact that you don't understand why rolling [Attack] and succeeding sets off an alarm automatically
>If you succeed with an Attack action, your target becomes aware that it is under attack by another icon, but it doesn’t automatically spot you. It will most likely actively search for you on its next action, although it will almost always alert its owner to the attack and (if it’s a host) launch IC, depending on the owner’s preferences and the gamemaster’s judgment.
Doesn't automatically spot, doesn't always alert. Important distinction.
Besides which, weren't you trying to switch the subject to unprotected files?
>This action doesn’t need to be performed on a file that isn’t protected, of course.
I'm sure you can figure out which action this refers to.
>You're extrapolating the language of Edit File to other actions
No, I'm discussing exactly what Edit File means. If you want someone else to use Edit File to make a copy, or if someone wants you to use Edit File to make a copy, it won't change either way.

5E has the best matrix rules save the awful editing that makes it hard to understand on a first pass, unless you know German and/or how to use MTL. If you plug at it and keep in mind it's supposed to be like movie hacking instead of 'real' hacking such as what happened on 4chan recently then you'll be set.

Yeah, at some point you really do need to re-scale the skills so they do useful jobs at reasonable investments instead of having a pile of 5-10 rank breakpoints then really anemic linear scaling.

>>96587303
>It has the same problem as wizard looking at their spell list of ~20+ spells mid combat only worse.
>It's also kinda fiddly in places and a good chunk of its abilities are already feats in 3.5, so just bolting some bonus feats would give a similar result.
Similar reasoning is why I've thought about adjusting the existing bonus feats into distinct sets, so you decide from a whole bunch of things in downtime then only choose from like 2-5 that are thoroughly signaled to be used on different combat approaches.

>Similarly a lot of abilities give bonus damage, attacks and similar stuff, which I think is a big mistake - class should have solid damage output as a base and there should be no need for like 3-5 different abilities that make you hit a little harder. You already should be putting people into the ground.
It's really, REALLY hard to do this without tediously overhauling the existing feat options filled with so much of the same lest you blow out the floor.

>>96587580
>Yeah, at some point you really do need to re-scale the skills so they do useful jobs at reasonable investments instead of having a pile of 5-10 rank breakpoints then really anemic linear scaling.
True20 Revised probably had the right idea with challenges. Where a lot of stuff that 3.5 does through feats could be done by just taking a higher DC check. Shame it never got properly built up, but at least we got M&M out of it.

Problem with redefining skills is that you also need to nuke spells, items, alchemy and a lot of other stuff that right now could be piled up on top of each other. The core skill system is simple and serviceable, but you have so much bullshit piled up on top and so many ways to circumvent it that it gets flattened under them.

>>96588594
Breakthroughs keep happening, but the problem is just how insanely expensive the research is and the scale of the investments required. There isn't even a single country that could fund the research by themselves, it's requiring international cooperation from just about anyone who can throw money at it.

It's not something you can just make a kickstarter for.

>>96588693
>Breakthroughs keep happening
They literally do not. We haven't had developments in energy production in decades, and in terms of efficient returns in nearly a century.
>But its just expensive!
Research is not a video game metric you can throw money at to increase and does not progress purely by allocation of wealth. Sometimes, something is simply not possible.

>>96588727
didn't china make a new reactor that was cheaper or safer or better in some way? Or was that retarded headlines for people who aren't in the know? like when they say there discover life in a new planet but it's actually that they have an albedo that could maybe mean they have a similar atmosphere and it's been known for decades.

>>96588791
China, The US, the Soviets, everyone and their mother seems to have done so, there's news like that every 5-10 years. But none of it seems to change the viability of Nuclear energy, so it's evidently not cheap enough (Safety has never been a concern in economics)
Besides, a breakthrough has to be more than improvements. An economically viable fusion reactor would be a breakthrough, for example, because it would be a completely new form of energy production that actually works. Or just a nuclear reactor that had the same returns as coal or natural gas.
