Well, in the books the physical differences between Earthers, Martians and Belters are very striking. Due to the lower gravity on Mars, and the even lower gravity on spinning asteroids in the belt; Earthers end up being much shorter than their counterparts with Belters looking very bizarre. I would imagine it would result in them being shorter, and if the gravity is high enough it could completely stunt the baby's growth in a sort of inverse to what the Belters go through.

Yes I understand killfeeds are different in each game, you can move on now.

Like immigrants! Or black people! Or trans people!

I miss the days when 4chan acted as the fucking quarantine for most of the nazi bullshit on the internet.

The older I get, the more I realize.

Doomers are bad people.

And the idea that every game should be for everyone is the reason why Elden Ring is... kind of a bad game.

Great open world, beautiful scenery... bad boss design, which yes — that is the game.

Like, think about this in the real world setting. Think about how this hyopthetical would play out, person becomes disabled and has to sit in a wheelchair. Everyone agrees 'it's not fair that they can't walk, no one should walk because this person can't'. And then everyone sits in a wheelchair despite being perfectly abled.

Does that make sense to you? Because it doesn't to me, I'm sorry if there are people who can't beat these games — but damn, at some point you have to recognize life isn't fair and just enjoy the shit you do enjoy. If being good at a video game isn't important to you, ok that's your prerogative. Do not play the hard video game. But this constant whining about difficulty settings and nerfs is just obnoxious.

Everyone heard Hornet say git gud. If you say you didn't, you either didn't play HK or you're a liar.

Silksong is the git gud game. It is the Bloodborne 2 we never got.

Edit: also it isn't that hard.

Specifically looking at the games he played, his name will show up constantly as:

Donald Trump was fragged by X. Donald Trump was stabbed by Y. X was splattered by Donald Trump.

Kill feeds, it's an old joke for gamers. Obama splattered Miley Cyrus, that kind of shit. I don't think '2.)' is accurate, at all.

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!

Edit: I should note, a baby born in the belt could be taken to Mars or Earth and they would grow up fine. The Belters themselves aren't riddled with genetic diseases or anything like that, growing up in low g's is just fucked.

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?

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.

I find that to be a very weak argument.

Say I make fun of a racist. If they're just a poor propagandized individual who finally realizes their act, should I not shame them? Should I not ensure that they realize the depth of their behavior, the depth of their shame?

Shrugs I like to keep records. I don't like letting people off the hook after they shit the bed and force everyone else to clean it up while they figure out they don't like how it smells. I think that's weak behavior and a big part of the reason we're here today.

Edit: I'm ok with letting children off the hook. Kids are fucking dumb.

Hey everyone, title pretty much says it all.

I've managed to snag a set of keybinds that works for me, played around in Arena Commander offline. I'm hooked, had a ton of fun but I feel like my arms are sore from cranking the sticks so much.

Really looking for advice pertaining to ergonomic setups, like what kind of mounts should I grab. I have two Gladiator NXT EVOs, both the left and right hand versions. I didn't buy anything else though, as I wasn't that impulsive, so currently it's unmounted and I'm just rolling with it.

On top of those recommendations, specific guides on how to get better at combat would be good. I'm open to buying other space flight sims as well, if it would be easier to practice there (ideally I'd like to stick to Star Citizen).

My main fear is trying to hop into the main game and getting my shit rocked, losing what little resources I have trying to learn how to not crash. I tried it a little bit, managed to get my first ship impounded lol. If anyone has tips on ensuring I can ping the hangars correctly I would greatly appreciate that as well.

Sorry for the word vomit, still very new to space sims/flying sims in general. Not really sure how to word what I'm asking. Thanks to anyone that takes the time to read and answer!
