  • It’s probably not real but I have seen people with psychosis that behave similarly. It sounds funny but for the relatives it can be really stressful and sometimes horrifying. Not because the patient is violent (although that can happen too of course) but strange behaviors and beliefs that can’t be changed or challenged.

    Although I’ve also seen a few people deal with it through humor

    If you only think about half live then yes it would be radioactive forever but in reality after a long time every atom would’ve decayed into non radioactive elements.

    You can even calculate the expected time it would take for the random process of decay to terminate.





  • Hmmm, ok what if the biters the critters themselves are stupid drones but the nests are sentient. Maybe the biters are like white blood cells part of the natural defenses of the nests. Something the “Brain” cannot control directly.

    I am not saying this is the case or the developers thought that but it certainly is a possibility.

    I guess people just fucking died before refrigeration…

    And in regards to pizza: I mostly order pizza when hosting a party, so the fridge is full with other party stuff and at the end I’m tired anyways. Knowing that the leftovers will not survive the next 24h anyways it’s more convenient to just leave them covered by the pizza carton at room temp. Also I warm the pizza up anyways when I eat it.

    Also sweaty? That’s actually something that happens when I leave certain stuff in the fridge because of condensation. I have more of a problem that it dries out outside the fridge. What climate are you living in? That could explain the difference in our world view.


  • Sure sounds like something a colonizer would say.

    I first wanted to “/s” this but it’s literally the reasons some colonizers used to justify atrocities. Btw it’s canon that the factorio guy is evil as confirmed by the developers.

    I get it in the game there is no way of confirming or even researching the sentients of the bugs but be honest was it your first instinct to check if they are? I sure as hell didn’t. I mean they attacked me first, right?..right?! (Until you realize that you are killing them with your pollution)

    I love that game design, even the music plays a role. Iirc it was designed a bit eerie as if something is wrong.

    Do you have a source on that? I’m pretty sure pizza does not go bad in 24h at room temp and normal humidity. While I agree that food safety is important not everything needs to be stored in fridge temperatures.

    Well it depends on what one considers normal temperature and humidity I guess, now that I wrote this.

    There are many ways of being evil, petting the dog does not make a truly evil character less evil.

    A lot of real life evil people actually like animals at least when it suits them in my experience.

    A bit off topic but there are games where you are absolutely evil but it’s not easily recognizable. For example factorio.

    Most people consider themselves not evil.





  • I mean I wasn’t really serious as we are in a shit post community right now.

    But do you realize how fucking hard it is to keep US politics out of your experience here? So many seemingly unrelated communities post election bullshit it’s not even funny :/

    I do think that the next presidential US election is important not only for Americans but the world. Although it really is tiring to watch from over here and I can only imagine how tired most Americans must be…
