I went to the actual GDC talk by Sid Meier for ammo in a discussion with @Jens_Rasmussen and Jonathan Blow was so right. This motherfucker is SO WRONG about everything. Started it at the time he talks about losing and winning percentages. Has me throwing an autism fit, grabbing the screen, yelling
"20 to 10 IIIISSSS DIFFERENT THAN TWO TO ONE YOU BASTARD! HOW ARE YOU MAKING A STRATEGY GAME WITHOUT KNOWING THIS?!?!?"
@Jens_Rasmussen We talk Civ, I look at what Civ guy say so I can come back to you with more argument, I now hate Civ Meier because he is wrong and does not know how make game
Here is a clip of Jonathan Blow where he BLOWS UP at famous game designer Stephan Molyneux, who made Freedomain Radio's Civilization series, for inventing the concept of fudging percentages to make the player feel better about himself.
Another rule? DO NOT LIE: Your game should do what it says it does.
These days, there are way more "interactive movies" and slot-machines than actual true video games. I want to formulate a ruleset for making proper ones:
-DO NOT GAMBLE: Success should depend on skill. -DO NOT EXPLAIN: Your game should teach itself to the player. -DO NOT CHEAT: Your game should obey it's own rules. -DO NOT GRIND: Whatever the player spends most of the time on should be fun and challenging.
And also, never give the player +20% damage against spiders as a reward AFTER he already killed all the spiders. But I'm not sure what rule that would be.
@IceCubeSoup@Humpleupagus@cough the argument from the OP is what I was responding to and it literally is "they built renewable and therefore the grid crashed" and that's obviously what I meant. what the fuck are you saying?
if "fossil generator" hurts your feelings, just replace it with the correct term, who cares.
It *is* a grid problem but you kept inserting things about how it's still renewables fault. Not even sure what your point is anymore. Mine was simply "blaming renewables for this is not accurate"
@Humpleupagus@IceCubeSoup@cough I wasn't even pointing at fossil generators. It's clearly a grid issue, their hypothesis is some atmospheric interference and I believe I've said this. In contrast, THIS ENTIRE THREAD is "pointing to renewables" as the sole cause
@Humpleupagus@IceCubeSoup@cough >renewables can make the load deviation far greater No they can't. Load is power draw, not generation. He is simply talking out of his ass. The sun was out the whole day, solar panels can immediately respond to spikes in demand, whereas fossil generators take hours to spool up.
@Humpleupagus@IceCubeSoup@cough Yes they did. The British have a hydroelectric power station whose sole purpose it is to respond to the demand from people turning the kettle on during TV ad breaks, because fossil generators can not react.
Their reaction time is not impacted just because someone built a switching inverter that can do it in 10 seconds. Sorry, they'll just have to do better!
@IceCubeSoup@cough "EU politicians and Spanish grid engineers are the same people"
OK pal
Nobody knows the cause. Their working hypothesis is induced atmosphere vibration.
It was sunny in the whole of Spain for the whole day and solar kept working through the outage. As usual, nobody has any idea what they're talking about.
@IceCubeSoup@cough The grid is already recovering within 24 hours. It is taking that long because fossil generators, frequently touted by fudders you sound like you listen to as "better for load peaks", are completely unable to react. Somehow this is all renewables' fault.
Deranged republican priors award No idea what you're talking about award
@skylar@PraxisOfEvil@wgiwf Suburban sprawl is a bad thing because the suburbs are badly designed. Low density neighborhoods themselves are no problem. They have those all over Europe.
