Maybe you should keep up with the meta of instead of just spamming the same old strat.
it's like when your buddy backs you against the wall in mortal combat and just spams low kick
Like humans don't just spam walk strats
Working fine for the best predator in the sea, even before the dawn of trees. So, meta is the issue.
Based Apepilled and Staminamaxxing meta.
This was written by every megafauna we drove to extinction
Well, except the ones we just drove over cliffs with fire by the hundreds so we could harvest the good bits
Human beings really are the high skill, high reward spec. And like every other game ever, we get a bunch of dead weight teammates that the pros have to carry. We could be competing with other regions (planets/galaxies) already. Smh
Griefers. We have griefers who for some reason, we voted to lead us.
For the vast majority of human history we have just been throwing sticks and stones and just got better at it.
Throwing stones by hand, invent slings to throw stones faster and further, invent siege engines to throw bigger stones even farther.
Throwing sticks by hand, sharpening the sticks into thrown spears, invent the atlal to throw the spears further and with more power, make the sticks smaller and invent bow to shoot them with more speed and even further, invent siege engines to throw bigger sticks with more power.
Invent fire.
Invent guns to throw specifically shaped stones at 1000fps using fire.
Except for the time we tried poking with pointy sticks and swing sharp sticks. It worked for a while, but then we got even better at throwing sharp sticks further and hit all the stick pokers before they could get close.
Guns? Actually just throwing rocks at high speed.
Nuclear bomb? Throwing a special, spicy rock.
It really is just rock chucking all the way down, projectile combat completely broke the meta
And purposeful shrapnel is just throwing rocks that throw more rocks.
it is similar to how any kind of widely used power plant is basically just a steam machine. the difference is how we create the heat, but no matter if we burn coal or split atom there, it is still just a steam machine. if we some day finally manage to get fusion reactors to work, it will still be just a steam machine.
Solar and wind would like a word.
Yep, the antimatter annihilation reactor goes into the boiling water again!
Some of the new fusion startups are looking into aneutronic fusion, in which most of the energy output is directly captured as electricity. They will be using steam-driven generators to take advantage of the waste heat but they will be a secondary component.
aneutronic fusion, in which most of the energy output is directly captured as electricity.
Awesome!

MOTHER
FFFFFUUUUC-
cool, i will check it out.
We need to figure out a way to boil water by throwing rocks.
Throw rock so hard it hits water with enough force to boil it. Like that old "how hard would I have to slap a chicken to instantly cook it?" thing
Very tiny, very hot rocks.
Rocks that spit bees out of their mouths
Guns I'll grant you, but
Nuclear bomb? Throwing a special, spicy rock
"Spicy" is doing a lot of work there lol.
And then the theoretical peak of space combat, throwing big rocks at planets from orbit
Inyalowda deserved that shit, sasa?
Alternatively tungsten rods (rods from god) which is throwing sticks from space
RUN THE FUCKING ANIMALS OFF A CLIFF
Or just hang out with them all the time, mostly being nice, so they get used to not running away and we don't have to find or chase them when we are hungry.
I'd argue we're still just throwing (highly processed) rocks but much much faster using gunpowder to accelerate them through the tube of handheld devices
Who would've thought the puny hairless ape would dominate the entire game? Get rekd animal kingdom
puny hairless apecuks!
Dawn of the Squishy Things moment
just throws sticks
infinite stamina
one part of his kit
Yeah maybe being able to count also helps
Humans are the It Follows nightmare for animals.
I have to separate my cats for feeding and one of them isn't fond of the process so she runs away from me. I simply follow her at a walking pace saying, "You cannot defeat the persistence predator," until she gives up. It never takes long.
My cats went offense instead of defense / escape for the period during which I had to do it.
Oh you'll stop playing all right, you and your entire kin.
Skill issue
This is how i feel about apecucks too
"ImAcArNIVorE"
I'm sorry but I don't understand. Could you explain what this image and your comment are meant to be about?
Carbon and nitrogen isotope testing prove that we ate animals.
You might want to update your literature.
Yes, but not everything that was a good decision in the past is a good decision today. The ability to adapt to changing external conditions is what marks an intelligent species.
Homo sapiens sapiens eating megafauna is a fact.
What you choose to do is up to you.
