you will never fly a starship traveling the universe and come across a planet(ops pic) with structures and a species to observe and study

[Anonymous No.4523707]

>>4523696
I'd want to find a species that's at stone age tech and give them something like a wheel or fire for shits and giggles.

[Anonymous No.4523723]

>>4523707
Why not just give them instructions on how to make pyramids and Roman-like structures, the make them carve the instructions into stone for the next generations, so that the majority would believe that it's just their some retardese doodling and some gay minority making tv shows about ancient aliens giving them technology for their civilization to kickstart.

eve online = spreadsheet in space

[H+ No.4523740]

That's really the only time you'd have enough free time to play EvE.

I mean, I like the game, but each new ship takes 6 months real time to train for at any appreciable level. And you can't reduce it by playing well.

Anyone else see that episode of Stargate Atlantis where it turns out a 'game' the characters had been playing for several years wasn't actually a game, but a social engineering tool, and they had been completely fucking over two civilizations on the other side of the galaxy?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0902891/

That's the one.

Why not just give them WW2-era shit and see what happens?

[Anonymous No.4523778]

>>4523744
yes, that was so awesome, i just wish they didn't pussy out and decide not to play it anymore.

[Anonymous No.4523787]

>>4523744
Why did they give a shit about the future of those civilizations, I would've thorougly enjoyed making a cold war hot war while watching the shitstorm with my bro.

[Anonymous No.4523791]

>>4523740
Yep, that's probably why few people stick with EVE. It could be a really cool game too.

[Anonymous No.4523788]

>>4523740

yes i agree - the oldest players have the most benefit, not just because they have skills train, but also had time to learn and accumulate knowledge about everything

I would be happier if the more time you put in to the game, the more you got out of it

Not that its not an awesome game, but it would be the "best" game ever then

They got caught by their boss goofing off at work, and told to go fix it.

Why is every goddamn movie or TV show that shows humans fucking with lower-tech civilizations either make the people doing it stop or try to make everything revert back before the interference?

Wouldn't it be cool to affect evolution of a species?

Because they also always, ALWAYS make it worse. Contractual obligation to 'lets's not play god' Aesops.

Same reason nobody in Sci Fi every gets to keep character defining superpowers or omnipotence without being written off, stopped from using them, or turned evil.

Don't expect any real thinking from TV.

Fucking fake morality bullshit. Oh well, it's TV, what can I expect.

[H+ No.4523831]

>>4523822

Well, it's also not good for plotlines. In real life we'd love to have a benevolent godlike being fix all our problems, but in fiction that becomes a Deus Ex Machina asspull, and you either have to magically end the series or come up with increasingly convoluted explanations as to why Q doesn't just snap his fingers and fix everything.

Or you just make Q a bit of a dick, which is what Star Trek did.

I never got the "LET'S NOT PLAY GOD" argument when talking about augmentations, cloning, DNA modification etc. If the technology have potential to direct humans to a better life, why the fuck you wouldn't play god?

[Anonymous No.4523859]

>>4523846
Because then YOU AM PLAY GODS

[H+ No.4523860]

>>4523846

Because of the religion-descended idea that humans are inherently evil, and that giving us more power would fuck up everything forever.

Same argument Luddites have been using since Ludd. Only now expect them to also bring up nukes.

That and people who believe in God actually arguing that this is usurping the power of God/God doesn't want us to do this/ you am play god/ etc.

Goddamn this always makes me so mad. No human is evil by nature and no one is fucking born to kill. Taking another human's life really fucks one up, if you're not a psychopath.

That whole thing would be eliminated if Sarif industries wouldn't have made the drug highly addictive. Also it seems that the augmentation business in that trailer is very young since governments aren't controlling it efficiently enough.

[H+ No.4523938]

>>4523921

The drug didn't have to be addictive, it was REQUIRED in the same way anti-rejection drugs are required by those with biological organ transplants. It's not psychologically addictive, you need it the same way you need oxygen.

It's not entirely realistic, people already have similar implants without needing drugs.

The game actually starts off with the government about to hear arguments about possible regulation. Then the plot drops, and that gets put off.

(This is for Deus Ex: Human Revolution)

[Anonymous No.4523987]

>>4523938

Doesn't cell rejection only occur with organic components, like transplanted organs and limbs? How can inorganic materials like augmentations cause rejection?

Rest in peace, Big Rizzle.

[Anonymous No.4523998]

>>4523987
This might be kind of going too far, but what if they were engineered to make user's body think that it's organic material that they're implanting into your body to lock them into drug buying spiral?

[H+ No.4524006]

>>4523998

Naw, it's something to do with the man-machine interface thingy, but they just found a specific "John Doe" who has absolutely no rejection, and they plan to use his genes to fix the rejection problem.

(Of course, as if you haven't guessed, that John Doe is the PC)

During organ rejection the body essentially goes through this checklist
>is it a cell?
>yes, is it my cell?
>no, lets destroy it!
In the case of mechanical devices it's
>is it a cell?
>no it's a foreign object, lets encapsulate it in fibrous materials

And with mechanical devices you need to have a really fucking good design, that is subtle yet efficient to ensure it works in harmony with the body(and the body is a picky bitch when it comes to this)
