Hunting old or sick animal that cant reproduct does not effect that.

Hunting unstable animal that kills younglins of other males only helps with this.

When was the last time you donated money for animal sanctuary?

And you could volunteer at the homeles shelter.

The way these things work, is that the people working in these places identify problem animals, like infertile males that prevent the herd, or pack or pride or what ever growing, unusually agressive animals, animals with genetic faults that could be hereditary etc etc. Basically anything that could hinder the the population of the endangered or vulnerable species. These animals are hard or impossible to relocate because most places dont want to take these problem animals in, because they generaly are bad where ever they are. I mean what zoo wants lion that kills anything they see or what animal sanctuary wants rhino that kills anything it can catch?

The park rangers could very easily kill the animals them self, but running these animal sanctuarys is very expensive so its better if they find some rich dude that is willing to pay ridicilous amount of money to do it for them.

The rich dude them self isint necessary a philantropist, but the money they spend goes to local economy and is often used for things like security against poachers, vetenarians and infrastructure.

Its easy to think that killing any exotic big game is always bad, but in reality the targets are always chosen carefully.

1. I don’t think we should try to re-introduce those games to new audiences

Well if we disagree on this deep fundamental level i dont think we can have real discussion about this, as my personal opinion is that stories i love should be made as easy as possible for people to reach. Like i would love people to read book Kalevala, but its written in old Finnish so i think its completelly fine for make the book more easily approachable for the masses by translating it to todays English, even if it looses a lot by turning the writing to prose.

2. A remake by definition I just want to say there is no real definition for remake.

if we spend resources on remakes (and sequels) then we are robbing the current generation from having their own formative experiences. I want to see new IPs come out that try new and different things and move the medium forward.

This goes more to the business end too. Its not zero sum game and making remakes dont mean companies stop making new games.

Like activision tasked Vicarious vision to make Crash remakes and because those did allright they were comfortable to let Toys for Bob make comoletelly new Crash game. The remake indruduced the Crash games to new audience. Without that push the new game would most definedly did worse than it did. (It was profitable, but not as much as investors wished).

Same with resident evils. Both remakes and new installations are being produced at the same time and they help to make the engine better everytime.

I must disagree.

Like while i can still fully enjoy old resident evil games, because i have nostalgia for the i fully understand why people who are born after they have been made would be put of by them.

By remaking those games they could indruduce the game to whole new audience who would never play the yanky outdated versions.

More extreme example. I would love to have modernised version of Betrayal at Krondor. It had good story. The core gameplay and world was great and there was intresting mechanics, but it was released 1993, so it by modern standards it looks like garbage and the ui is very unintuitive.

Most gamers now will never experience that story and those who do, will not get the same experience i got, because they will look everything in the game as a product of its time and the focus will be on the retro aspect, not on the game it self.

Boss came to talk me about how i looked tired yesterday. We talked for some time and he said that i need to look fresher, like he. He told how in reality he was also tired because he was golfing day before and his legs were so sore, but he does not let it show.

I must missread something somewhere. I put much more weight on the terror side than the accident side.

If i was a civic engineer and a law maker and i would need to start making infra for flying cars, cities would be no fly zones, outside of dedicate “roads” that can be designed in so there is minimal danger to others in the case of crash. There would need to be dedicated flight height. These could be enforced similiarry than rentable electricscooters are now, so if driver would drive on a no fly zone or at wrong height the car would slow down. These would need to be build in things from the manufactorer. These no flight zones would also be near anything dangerous like energy plants, airports, military instalations etc etc.

We have allready things like automatic braking because pedestrians or deer or other cars. These would need to be supercharged so the vehicles do not let people drive to close other people or buildings.

Then things like harhers punishments for breaking the traffic law, more strict inspections for the vechicles and own permint for driving flying cars, that is prerequisite to buy a car and if you loose it, you cant keep the car, or there needs to be a mechanism where the car is made earhbound only.

A lot of responcilibity for the manufactores in case there are malfunctions.

Own mandatory insurance for flying, that pays to the victims in case of anything happening.

Mandatory breath analyzier for starting the vehicle, or in more scifi world blood test for any substances.

Drivers licence should have strict health inspection and it would need to be renewd often.

Mandatory flight plan system, where you need to mark where you are leaving from and where you are going, and the system could caluculate current traffic and give you the flight path, height and landing spot. So in a way automatic flight control that can open new “roads” if needed and there would be information on all traffic all the time so collision risk is small and traffic flows.

Clear idea that flying is not a right, it is a responsibility.

Edit: added few points.

I think it does indeed tell something about maturity or atleast how seriously they are taking their training.

Thinking it about from different angle. If i had business and one job would be mowing a lawn. If i had two equally good hires, but one of them would every time draw a dick to the yard before finishing the job i would definedly hire the one that does not make company famous by drawing dicks on the peoples lawn.

Especially if my neigboring company was famously violent and had CEO who currently is trying to burn office of another nearby company on the ground and i had a reason to look professional, so my partner companies could trust to my professionalism in case the agressive company would try something underhanded. Especially if that company had 300 years of history of killing and enslaving my employees.

While i pretty much agree with you, i can see the “do we want dudes who act this juvenile to fly 70 million € aircraft when we have more mature candidates lined up and waiting their change” angle too.

1. Nobody
2. I just wanted to calculate stuff for fun.

Talking about the danger. Cars can allready be driven to masses and many houses or businesess dont have any guard railings protecting them from normal cars, but we dont see those happening that much. Why it would suddenly change, by adding additional dimension.

Also small planes are not really that hard to come by. Why we dont have those driving in to buildings now?

Also doing “mini-9/11” would most certainly kill or atleast hospitialize the driver. I can somehow understand giving your live for cause you support and cause the enemy lot of pain, but i think there would be much higher treshold to give a life for something that is very unlikely to do anything but structural damage and hurt your self.

More likelly would be crashing while driving under influence, but i would imagine there would be higher treshold for anybody to fly drunk than drive drunk.

Oh i did not know we are adding new requirments to the conversation.

Well your comment does not count because you did not write it while standing on your hands. Bucko.

Hmm. This sounds like maths.

Quick google search say that averag plane weights are about 40 000 kg for small jets, 70 000kg for narrow-body planes and up to 570 000 kg for large wide-body planes.

While average car weight is somewhere in the 2000 kg mark.

If the dreams of flying cars come to trough the way most scifi/cyperpunk depicts them and the flight speeds would be at the similiar range than driving on the street.

So lets be generous and say flying cars would be much hevyer and weight 3000kg and the flight speed would max 175 km/h wich is pretty much the max speed for regular cars.

Lets go with the average plane so Weight is 70 000kg and flight speed is 930km/h

So maths:

E = 0.0386 * m * v^2

Car: E = 0.0386 * 3 000 * 175^2 ≈ 3.5MJ

Plane: E = 0.0386 * 70 000 * 930^2 ≈ 2.3GJ

So you would need about 670 cars to get same impact as one plane.

*all the numbers came from google-fu and from my ass. Also all the maths was done while sitting on a toilet, so there is large margin for error.

Isint “good game” little vague description? Are you the president what is good?

And the point is that there are thousands of games to choose from, but you bitch that there are only live service shit on the market.

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon (2023) Remnant 2 (2023) Rise of the Ronin (2024) Hades II (2025) Pragmata (2026)

And i dont like Elden Ring or Nindendo, but those were all big releases.

I just find it funny when people complain about something and when given proof that they are not correct they start to move the goal post.

Ie. List that contains only small portion of recent non live service games --> “well i dont like some of them”

Lies of P (2023) Hi-Fi Rush (2023) Dead Space Remake (2023) Stellar Blade (2024) Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II (2024)

Yeah modern games all have live service elements and you cant find any good games!

Just ignore these: Baldur’s Gate 3 (2023) Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (2023) Starfield (2023) Hogwarts Legacy (2023) Resident Evil 4 Remake (2023) The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (2023) Alan Wake 2 (2023) Black Myth: Wukong (2024) Dragon’s Dogma 2 (2024) Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (2024) Metaphor: ReFantazio (2024) Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree (2024) Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (2025) Hollow Knight: Silksong (2025) Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (2025) Donkey Kong Bananza (2025)

*Bypassed

Works until next patch and does not stop denuvo eating recources at the background. But yes you can download and play it, if you want.

I do agree with you that it makes games worse, but…

It does not do anything to prevent piracy beyond maybe a month depending on cracking scene interest.

The first months of the release are the most profitable time for games. Denuvo is not meant to be uncrackable. Its just meant to protect the release window. Thats why some studios remove it some time after the launch.

Its only a minor inconvenience to game cracking groups and pirates.

Even the most popular games take one to two week to crack. That is not just a minor inconvenience. It takes time and effort. Also updates ofter change things enough for the crack to stop working.

God you are lucky in lapland. I have always wanted to do that, but the ones here in northern ostrobothnia dont fit trough the doors so we can use them only as patio furniture.

Ah. The late Aldof Hilter. The failed fascist who turned into decent artist.

While i dont really like AI, the horses and humans are little different.

Horses were tools. More adept parable would be cars were to horses what petrol engines were to steam engines.

People are not just going to stop procreating because ai takes their job.
