All games are made up

It wouldn't be so bad if they weren't also naked.

Also, they have interstellar travel but need to use crop circles to communicate. I know that's just part of the premise but it's still stupid.

But not nearly as stupid as flying all the way here and trying win a land war completely unarmed. If your battle plan can be beaten by a baseball bat and asthma, you should maybe rethink your invasion.

I like the holy water fan theory. They were not aliens but demons and all of the glasses of water were blessed when Mel Gibson regained his faith

Alien invasion is always stupid. Interstellar travel uses so much energy, it can power a civilisation for a year, and that's for just below light speed from our nearest star. Their tech level would be high enough to just scoop up whatever resource they want from astroids, if not ourright skimming from gas giants or stars. Oh, you need genetic material? Musquito drones would do the job. I mean, only the Predator movie makes sense as they just come here for hunting.

I disagree. If water is essential for their spaceflight, IE fuel, reaction mass, ect then it's fine that they would invade.

Humans have invaded the Sahara desert, which is hot enough to kill, the arctic and Antarctic which is cold enough to kill, the submarine realm which can crush, freeze and drown us, and even the moon, which is hollow and full of dangerous reptillians.

We go to extremely dangerous places to fulfill our need for resources and territorial ambition

Lol I actually grew up near where the movie took place and now I feel stupid for never thinking about the humidity factor. Summer in PA is underestimated by those who think "it's the northeastern US, how bad can it get?". For those of you who don't know, most summer days you can see the humidity and you're drenched in sweat about 2 minutes after you exit a cool shower.

Captain Carter said the same thing

Brennan Lee Mulligan was engineered in a lab for that specific purpose.

The Socratic method is a sort of dialectic game too. Someone takes a position by providing an argument for it, and you provide your best counter arguments for the strongest form of the argument.

I was going to say theatre kinds/improv troupe, but that too.

The Game

Fuck... I lost...

Nietzsche spoke about this btw.

Useless, it'll never take off. Normies don't want to have to pick an instance to get started. They'll just go to reddit or Bluesky. Then there's the tankie problem. Hexbear and ml are going to scare away those who can figure out how to pick an instance and register.

Oh and since everything is duplicated on hundreds of servers, it's wasteful of resources to. Worried about SSD prices going up? Well the fediverse ain't gonna help either.

There's only like 5 people who post things and the mods can be just as bad as reddit mods. Post something and get banned from 25 communities.

Need me to keep going?

That shit's never gonna take off unless they pull their head out of their ass and remember how Reddit and Tumblr attracted their users; with high-quality amateur porn.

The first sub-reddit ever created was NSFW and Tumblr basically ceased to exist once they got rid of the porn.

But, how do you incentivize people into posting high-quality amateur porn on your site for free instead of selling it on OF or Patreon?

The platform doesn't sell ads, and their decentralized nature prevents the fediverse as a whole from conducting business in any traditional sense.

But, even if it wasn't for all that, as a user, I don't have a good way to browse the available smut; I have to remember and visit each community separately, and a lot of content gets reposted. There's no way to activate a "NSFW only" mode or anything.

Don't get me started.

That’s 14 things at minimum though, I feel like that should disqualify it.

Oh, don't you start now!

Oh really? Didn't someone in the Linux community notice a backdoor in the code because it delayed the startup by something like 200ms?

I tried using a pie zero as a PC for a little bit. Maybe it'll be fun to try that again and really optimize it

You know what I notice? My journal app takes almost a gigabyte because it's based on Electron.

You know what I notice? How little hardware I can get something to run on.

Mucking about with your ram speed and overclocking can decrease both stability, stability under load, and longevity when people are keeping computers longer than ever. It's poor advice. Insofar as using a different init, distro, window manager, kernel. Some of that is an aesthetic choice and some a function of workflow. To some degree people just enjoy fiddling with stuff and understanding it.
