It is not the matter of what if you are found. It's the matter of when.

 

Hello everyone. I have lately been in a good mood and wish to spend some money on a game. By that, I mean all of it. I want to empty my entire savings on a game, and not just any game.

I am looking specifically for a game which is a complete and utter dumpster. Horrible controls, ugly graphics, incomplete assets and bugs on every aspect of the gameplay, all within a bundle whose size occupies more than half of my PC's storage. And it has to be expensive. I am looking for a game with the base price no less than 70$, with microtransactions of every kind available at this time, whether it be in the form of cosmetics, virtual currency, battle passes, subscriptions, DLCs or any worthless virtual in-game item. I'll be delightful to pay for them all!

Please don't recommend me one of those 'indie' games. I truly despise their polished and complete nature, and the love and care that went into them by those wretched developers with a 'soul', going their way to bring something 'new' and 'fresh' to the market. I would rather pay my hard-earned money to the more-deserving big corporations who have no sympathy for their playerbase and push out the same trash over and over again.

I would kindly ask anyone who knows of any such game to please let me know as I have my entire savings account to burn, exactly how the general game companies think people do. Extra points for those which I can pre-order.

 

Some people suggest the idea of a multiverse with each universe having a unique set of laws of physics governing it, but not many delve deeper into this. I was wondering if it was even possible to imagine a universe that is different to ours in this regard.

The universe could share some of the laws from our universe yet still be different enough that it is not a matter of just tweaking a few digits of the gravitational constant or the speed of light. Also the universe with those set of laws should be able to sustain itself through the same period as our universe has been so far, meaning it shouldn't implode or instantaneously cease to exist the moment it is born.

Is it even possible to imagine this? If not, is this due to us having become so accustomed to the logic of our universe that we cannot come up with any such idea that does not exist here, or is it just that our universe happens to be the only possible one to exist, at least while maintaining the harmony between each law of physics and avoiding any paradoxes to occur?

 

To someone who is subscribed to multiple communities on Reddit, has there been any change in their feed in their quality or amount of posts since July 1st? Any change in the amount of comments in the posts? Even the number of community subscribers?

I want to see how Reddit is doing without going back to their site to check. I know other people might still be seeing Reddit, so I wish to hear directly from them.

I am in need for stories in form of movies, shows or games where an extremely large entity or organization exists, a force not to be reckoned with. A system which you cannot defeat, which you have to outsmart and escape instead. A system whose scale cannot be comprehended.

Examples coming into my mind are:

  1. the Portal franchise, with the Aperture Science Lab spanning miles filled with unlimited test chambers and test objects
  2. the Subnautica series, with the highly advanced precursor structures and technologies
  3. the Star Wars franchise, with the imperials having fleets of battleships and control over multiple colonies (i am not well versed with this franchise)
  4. the John Wick series, with the existence of the High Table and the powers of the Continentals (tho not science fiction)

  1. Pause to screen: You can put the entire world on pause at will, but your body will also freeze along with others, with only your mind remaining active to think and resume back time.

  2. Respawn on death: Upon dying against your will, you will be presented with an option of respawning back to your bed or any familiar safespace, and an option to confirm your death.

  3. Rapid health regeneration: Your body will quickly heal after sudden injury to full health when left undamaged for a minute.

  4. Built in HUD: You will be able to view your body's stats directly within your vision, like meters/numbers for any type of body metric, your inventory, a minimap and reminders/alerts.

  5. Skill Tree: You level up on your birthdays and acquire a skill point to spend on various types of stats and powers of your choice.

  6. Fast travel: You can instantly teleport to your personally known safe places, no matter how far away they are, except in situations where you are busy and not allowed to leave the vicinity. (By courtesy of ChrisFhey)

  7. Skill Check: While doing an action, you will be able to observe if you have the necessary stats required to perform that action successfully. (By courtesy of nieceandtows)

Note: Save/Load has been intentionally left out since it is essentially more OP than all of the other options listed here.

Edit: changed title from 'superpower' to 'game feature' + misspellings + 6th and 7th point

 

Are there websites where I can do simple tasks like distinguishing/sorting images, writing captions, selecting correct options or other tasks I can do in my free time or mindlessly whilst also contributing to meaningful projects? Something like Google Crowdsource, although I would like to avoid registering to any privacy invading services asking for my personal info in order to contribute.

To clarify, I am not advocating that the above points are applicable in every case. These are ultimately observations just like weather forecasts and one must exercise their own common sense to determine if it is even worth approximating the correct option like this. What I tried to accomplish here was just a thought experiment and maybe a way to guide someone to the correct solution if a question did not make sense to them at all.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll check them out.
