it’s almost like we can’t program something we don’t understand in the first place or something…weird how that works! ;)

What maroon wrote this drivel?

this typo makes me unreasonably happy, and i have no idea why! it’s just so…whimsical! :D

thanks, i might check it out!

this is exactly the entire plot of the Dark Profit Saga (Orconomics is the first book, 3 books total) and it’s one of the best books I’ve ever read!

it’s written in a sorta Terry Pratchett-like style, with a modern twist, set in a typical medieval fantasy world, where the elites figure out that they can bet on the outcome of a dungeon raid in advance and invent a stock market based on the profits of raiding monster lairs!

there’s lots of plays on typical fantasy tropes it’s also full of amazingly silly acronyms: the monster races are known as F.O.E.s (forces of evil), the “civilized monsters” are known as N.P.C. (non-combat c…i wanna say creatures? i forgot that one…) and tons more!

it is glorious!

highly recommended read for fantasy nerds!

oh yeah, i know!

but there’s like 5 planets in factorio…there’s upwards of 16 entire solar systems in DSP ;)

excellent stellaris reference! ;)

it’s basically factorio, but it allows 3D belt placement and interplanetary/interstellar transports!

it’s excellent!

FYI: wrong user; check names again ;)

eh, I don’t think that’s gonna make much of a difference:

most of the cost is probably lost revenue from the stopped flow, not the pump itself!

that said you’re almost at the ideal target already!

it’s best to sabotage the nexus point nearest the pipeline source: that way you knock out the largest part of the network resulting in the most damage by disabling most of the network!

tl;dr: knock out infrastructure as close to the source as possible, that isn’t actually the source!

(because sabotaging the source is a really, really bad idea, see: every oil spill ever)

(and for fucks sake, don’t do any of this in winter…people might freeze, if there’s no time to come up with alternative energy sources…which is why late spring is the best time to blow up a pipeline! :D )

i guess “asshole” fits

i know you probably weren’t looking for a swearword, but…well…if it fits ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

and let’s be real…the people you’re referring to tend to be ignorant by choice, offensive, and generally unpleasant…

“a lot of people wanted to” doesn’t matter on a corpo platform.

but if a greedy little pig-boy wants something gone, THAT matters.

i mean…no, he doesn’t.

his handlers know what they’re doing!

trump has never been competent enough to be an effective nazi…which is why project 2025 was created in the first place:

man-childs first dictatorship

now even easier with step-by-step instructions!

much, MICH better than both the U.S. and Canada treat theirs.

and still not as well as they deserve.

yes it is; by definition, in fact.

actually, i think you’re wrong about the ultra-rich being “essentially normal people”.

by all evidence they seem to have developed a serious mental disorder, a kind of trained sociopathy.

I’ve never seen it put in such clear nonchalant terms as in this interview .

give it a watch, it’s extremely interesting and really puts into perspective how…just utterly inhuman the minds of the ultra-rich really are…

u/fuckswithducks, that you?

Multiplay games won’t work with it

that’s not actually a guarantee: BG3 has multiplayer and works just fine without the launcher. as do plenty of others.

“I constantly came” is the funny bit ;)

you’re arguing government action with a user that hails from “@lemmy.libertarianfellowship.org”.

i don’t foresee a fruitful discussion, mate…

“only”

that’s a lot of milking to do…not sure you’ll have time for anything else
