Re: Planetside 2 General Discussion
Perhaps I spoke too soon. One of the debs tweeted that on PTS Esamir you can't spawn at any base not connected to the lattice unless you just died there. That's a good start, I think.

Re: Steam charging money for mods
Speaking of which, Valve are now removing mods that have a "donate" option. Not only is that image not a source, even if it was it wouldn't support what you said. Somebody found a mod page that had "You can donate here: {LINK REMOVED}". Even if Valve did that, which the picture doesn't say, looking...

Re: Steam charging money for mods
I do apologize for grabbing the bait before you. You do a much better job at this internet arguing thing these days then I do. Food for thought, though, is the aspect of bandwidth. How much money does Valve sink in providing terrabytes of data daily to Steam users around the world? Perhaps introduc...

Re: Steam charging money for mods
I maintain a neutral position until we can see how things go for this. The kneejerk reaction is to query Steam's motives (do they take a chunk of the money off, perhaps?) but it's pretty irrelevant either way. According to its Wikipedia article, as of 2011 Steam was making Valve something in the ra...

Re: Steam charging money for mods
I went and ate a meal in the middle of writing this so Tiel's beaten me to the punch, but what the hell. It's a question of work vs. reward. Realistically speaking, virtually nobody's ever going to make a viable career out of modding; unless (as occasionally happens) you eventually turn the mod into...

Re: Planetside 2 General Discussion
I'm encouraged by the news about Sunderer cloaking modules, but I don't think Daybreak is likely to take the steps towards changing some of the basic game mechanics that PS2 really needs to work as it ought to.

Re: Futurecraft's Philosophical Discussion Thread
Weird, sorry about that. And, from what I got from the quote, he was trying to downplay the religious implications (a huge structure thing is aligned with our tiny planet, that's near impossible to "just happen depending on how you interpret it. I don't really agree with that though) that this woul...

Re: ISIS, Taliban announced Jihad against each other
You posted the rest of the section, and the Planck sattelite confirmed it. Sure, it's a coincidence, just like light speed being 3E8 is a coincidence. And I'm not a mod, and I didn't edit anything. And the sentence after that says that they can rule out neither contamination nor coincidence, and sa...

Re: ISIS, Taliban announced Jihad against each other
"Even in the COBE map, it was observed that the quadrupole (l = 2, spherical harmonic) has a low amplitude compared to the predictions of the Big Bang. In particular, the quadrupole and octupole (l = 3) modes appear to have an unexplained alignment with each other and with both the ecliptic plane a...

Look up the axis of evil in cosmology. It's in the Wikipedia article on Cosmic Background Radiation or whatever.

Re: ISIS, Taliban announced Jihad against each other
If God and Satan exist, it's completely sensible if not something we can really know. Same reasoning that goes into denying the earth is the center of the universe: They were observing something, but interpreted incorrectly. It makes sense only if you start with the conviction that your religion is...

Re: ISIS, Taliban announced Jihad against each other
What do you mean with fake Allah, though? That they're worshipping the wrong kind of Allah or that Allah is fake? Because the god Allah is the same god you worship, God, so if you say he's fake you're kind of going against your own religion. They most likely worship Satan and call him God(Allah). T...

Re: ISIS, Taliban announced Jihad against each other
ISIS is a religious group in the same way the Ku Klux Klan is--nominally, yes, and they use the symbols, but the religion is secondary to their fundamental goal of being total * to anyone who doesn't share their particular brand of crazy.
