I do agree, but its also kind of an amazing thing. I know this meal was made by a corporation for profit, but there was still a farmer that made the contents and a chef somewhere along the line cooked it before it was packaged. You might be missing the personal interaction with them, but there were still a lot of humans involved in bringing that meal to your table.

Wait, you’re pro-apartheid?

We truly would be in a Star Trek style utopia if the ruling class weren’t stacked with insatiable greed.

Interesting, I didnt think civilians would be allowed to own them. I’m guessing it was a single shot .22 firing cadet version?

As far as I understand, rifles are restricted to smaller calibers and automatic fire is outright banned.

True, farmers tend to keep a shotgun around in rural areas, but I think you’d be hard pressed to find a farmer with an AR-15.

If you call the Daily Mirror they probably will.

I have an external SSD, but that’s besides the point. The whole point of a console is that it’s a standardised piece of hardware and you can expect games to run on it out of the box.

Why are people disputing the fact that the game barely ran on Xbox One on release? That was what most of the bad PR was about at the time…

I was fooled into thinking an Xbox One game would be playable on an Xbox One? What are you even talking about?

Sure, you can frame it as not working on outdated hardware. I even mentioned that Starfield didn’t even release on that generation of consoles.

The problem is the Cyberpunk DID release on that generation of consoles. You buy a copy on console, you expect it at least to function. My anecdotal evidence: it was literally unplayable. O stopped playing and never went back.

Comparing that to PC is more akin bad faith. There’s a huge range PC wise and while its unacceptable for a certain combo of hardware to be unable to run the game, expecting outdated hardware to run the game on PC is expected. Are you saying there were no such issues like this for Cyberpunk on PC at launch?

I don’t think it’s really a double standard. I was using that as an example of a negative that impacts gameplay in Starfield but doesn’t make it completely unplayable like Cyberpunk was. I didn’t say “Starfield is perfect, but Cyberpunk sucks”.

Personally I think some issues with AI pathing and dodgy procedural generation (Bethesda style bugs) is not quite as bad as the whole world failing to load causing you to fall through the map and die, for example.

Ha, I see you didn’t play on previous gen consoles. It was borderline unplayable on Xbox One at release. Terrible frame rate, massive portions of the city disappearing and/or low res, crashes everywhere…

Granted Starfield isn’t even playable on Xbox One, but between low FPS and normal Bethesda style bugs, I don’t think it’s in a worse state than Cyberpunk was on PC/Series.

It’s not just whataboutism because they said the word “what”.

Please, not the ass rays!

They don’t live off grass but long grass is great cover for them to move freely. My lawn is pretty wild, but I have to mow directly around the house otherwise mice and all sort of insects start taking up reaidence in the house.

All you’ve done here is prove that you’re ignorant. I suggest you look back and see that you’re arguing two different points with two different people as well as attributing words to me that I didn’t write.

If you actually read my post, l already answered the difference. Everything you mentioned has widespread environmental impact, particularly if people/corporations use those materials in bad faith. Personal choice to smoke a cigarette is not equivalent to implanting a hazardous object into the environment. And I think you know that. If you honestly can’t see the difference, it’s willful ignorance.

It’s interesting that you are digging in on this nonsensical comparison. Comparing a personal use narcotic (which is combusted and spent in seconds causing harm to the user only - for the most part) with a hazardous material (which basically doesn’t degrade, huffs out cancer causing dust if you, or anyone else in the next century, work on it in any way and persists as hazardous waste if you want to dispose of it).

Lead pipes and lead paint also bleed into the environment pretty much for eternity. Why not go all the way and compare being able to buy cigarettes with being able to buy some plutonium for around the house?

I don’t know the name of it but I believe that pattern is the standard camp for Swedish military. This looks like an urban colour tone but there are Woodland and Arctic colour schemes too.

I didn’t know gung ho was a racist term and now I look it up I see that it is clearly not.

Like 85% of people in the UK are non-smokers, so I’m presuming it’s some NIMBY-lite thinking: “I don’t like smoking so I need you to make everyone stop”.

So the only thing to compare itself to is basically itself. The NZ law that it is emulating is not even a year old, so it hasn’t exactly given any data on that in between generation that hasn’t yet been created. I’m not saying it won’t work, I’m just pointing out that this is the only really comparable law.
