@taa6969 @AJamesMcCarthy @waitbutwhy You keep asking the wrong questions. The only important question is "will there be people voting blue". If the answer is yes, anyone with a conscience should vote blue - and so no one dies. BTW, blue is winning, 23 hours I, so we saved your ass too

Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

@strojkontrolj @AJamesMcCarthy @waitbutwhy Those who choose to accept risk should be held accountable for their choices. Why should everyone have to accept risk when a risk-free alternative exists? Why should those who choose an absence of risk be held responsible for those who actively accept risk?

@taa6969 @AJamesMcCarthy @waitbutwhy So we kill them all. That's what you're proposing, since you do understand some will vote blue and die if red wins. That is your "no risk" situation, everyone who votes blue dies

@AJamesMcCarthy @waitbutwhy Those who choose blue are responsible for incorporating risk into this hypothetical situation. Those choosing red are opting for an absence of risk. Those who choose risk should be held accountable for their decisions especially since they're gambling with the fate of humanity.

@AJamesMcCarthy @waitbutwhy It's entirely a question of risk. The only option where risk exists is blue. The question is why involve risk when it is unnecessary.

I’m solidly on team blue, out of self-preservation. Let’s say I push the red button like 60% of people 40% of the world dies. The next day I go to the grocery store. The store didn’t open because the managers that have the keys all picked blue. We break windows to steal food, but the food is not replenished as the truckers that survived are concerned for their own family’s survival as the world descends into chaos and stay home. This problem is echoed across every factory in every industry. Supply chains are fragile, and a 40% labor shortage across most industries would collapse them before they have time to re-stabilize under the new lower demand. Survivors that manage critical infrastructure abandon their jobs to make sure they can provide for their families, as even if their paychecks are uninterrupted you can’t eat money. Neighborhoods would tear themselves apart as people compete for resources. Human life has a very short expiration date once people start going hungry, and civilization is more fragile than you’d think. Yes, if everyone pushed red everyone would live, but you know that won’t happen. The only way to guarantee your family’s survival isn’t to vote red, but blue, and hope enough people followed your logic and did the same. Pushing the red button seems smart on the surface, but is the more dangerous option if you think critically about the long term consequences.

@waitbutwhy I've noticed a lot of red-pushers have a tendency to call people retarded (or be otherwise insulting) without having been provoked. Kinda tells you something about their character lol.

@Relic_cileR Elden Ring is the only game that I wanted 100% in because I figured that was actually an impressive achievement considering it's the greatest game I've ever played. I gained 100% in Starfield out of love of the game. Any other game, I'm happy when I roll credits.

@JamesMelville License to Kill is the best Bond movie. I'm not saying that Dalton was the best, but the movie was.

I’m my opinion, the greatest James Bond movie is Skyfall. It took the franchise into deeper and darker dimensions. What do you think is the greatest James Bond film ever made?

This game is 15 years old. > No ray-tracing > No AI upscaling > No frame-gen > Takes only 20gb > Developed in just 3 yrs GTX 580 ran BF3 on Ultra with 1.5gb VRAM Now you drop $1200 on a GPU and can barely hold 60 FPS in modern games without DLSS Why did we go backwards?

I took my main computer, the one that was throwing memory issues at me, and I wiped it to nothing. All my files are online, so the only thing I lost is a world in Minecraft and my Pittsburgh save in Infection Free Zone. I repartitioned it, downloaded everything from scratch, and texted the hell out of it with Starfield. Not a single issue with test characters, and I finally restarted my main man, the Apostle of the Great Serpent himself, Jin'ai Serpenti! I pray to the Great Serpent this works because I can't afford a new computer right now.

I think I beat the memory problem finally. A few test runs, no crash. A month ago, I couldn't even start an unmodded game through Steam. Starting a new game. Let's see what happens!

@girdley Back in the day, I preferred never having a class with mandatory attendance. Luckily, the university I attended had a school newspaper that printed 3 crosswords from the LA Times every edition that I would enjoy if I was forced to sit in a classroom.

In college, I had a professor who gave everyone a B. As long as you attended every class. 8:30 AM Monday, Wednesday, Friday. He was universally hated. Especially by the kid who graduated with a 3.97 GPA.

@CalSepsis I hope that you've resolved these issues because I haven't played Starfield since I completed Shattered Space, but now, I've put in a ton of hours because the update is beyond awesome. Have fun. You're going to love it.

@Swurv__ Neon is funner because there's more stuff to jump off of. I didn't even realize that the Underbelly was higher than the Spaceport until a few days ago after I completed The Widow by not wearing a mask and just slaughtering everyone. Stealth is such a pain in the ass.
