According to a quick search (memory is foggy) it is set around 2350 — humans have colonized most of the solar system. They have fusion reactors and ships capable of traveling from Earth to the Jovian moons (I think? I’m not sure if they go further). There is definitely advanced medicine regarding surviving spaceflight (i.e. performing maneuvers that put you in otherwise unliveable circumstances without drugs).

The circumstances of Earth, Mars and the Belt are delicate. Without spoiling too much, no the Belters do not have good health care.

I like the Expanse, I was a fan of the books before the show. The show is good, some aspects are better than the books — but I haven’t actually finished the show itself. Give it a shot if you’re into hard science fiction!

Ok, what are you doing about the gerontocracy strangling your society?

What are you doing about the Chinese fishing your waters to death?

Beyond all of that — are you taking the same steps you’re advocating to United States citizens?

People are overwhelmed with money problems, scared of losing their jobs, scared of going to jail. There a multitude of reasons why they simply can’t drop what they’re doing and make the journey to Michigan. We are talking about ordinary every day people go against a trillion dollar propaganda/war machine — what would you ask of them?

Ah, so make things worse — just like MAGA

If I’m not mistaken it is a developmental issue — wasn’t an O.P.A. agent tortured using the moons gravity? Or maybe they were in orbit, I’m not sure.

I’m pretty sure it’s also a major problem later on with the new planets being found — Belters have it way more rough than both Earthers and Martians. Like, to the tune of ‘get me the fuck off this rock’ rough.

It is a little darker than that, as Belters can’t actually live on Earth due to their bones being crushed and broken by gravity.

Not only are they slaves, they are very much trapped in space. Well, trapped if we’re avoiding spoilers.

Michigander or Michiginian, and boy do I wonder why that isn’t happening.

Mind giving me a ballpark of where you live? I’m sure I can tailor an answer specifically for you.

Edit: Answer my question.

Let me get your praxis correct: Michigan is the United States? As in everyone currently living in the U.S. is actually from Michigan?

Because that’s what you’re implying. I think I’m also going to tag you as knee jerk flame fueler.

Good thing I’ll never be playing escape from tarkov again, otherwise I might be bothered

Skong good

I’m surprised to see a comment on a post from so long ago but yes, it was an incredibly blatant display.

I would argue that Blasphemous wouldn’t exist without Hollow Knight, and HK is still the better Metroidvania.

Dead Cells is not a Metroidvania game. It is a roguelite.

Edit: roguelite, not roguelike.

Because I do not want Microsoft to have access to all my documents.

That’s not how cloud save works! …

You need to explain why you think the second statement refutes the first.

a sizeable proportion of neurotypical people

Are fucking dumb, yes.

It’s the latter, counter point; the tool never would have existed without the unethical scraping.

Then maybe they should choose their words more carefully, because that is not what their words portray

That’s a fair point, I agree.

Oh, I was genuinely curious — this very same argument can be used when talking about guns. This very same argument is used when talking about guns.

This wasn’t an attempt at a strawman, I’m merely drawing parallels. To say that this one topic is one where Lemmy focuses on the tool and not the people using them is false.

What are your views on gun control?

Ok, I’m not debating this further with someone who continues to cherrypick.

Enjoy your Big Mac.

I’ve played both, granted I stopped playing valorant after 2 games because it’s fucking boring (for reference I stomped both games with +30 kills and a handful of deaths, dicking around with every gun) so I easily could be wrong about my assertion. You would be hard pressed to find a single character ability that doesn’t already exist in CS or LoL.

Edit: That isn’t even approaching the Overwatch comparisons. Like, you can argue that the games are fun — that’s entirely subjective. But seriously, Valorant isn’t homogenous? How many hero shooters exist? The fucking sniper is called the Operator.
