I spent years turning a silly animation idea into a full game.
Now, you can literally play as a Spinosaurus parrying giant bosses with a colossal greatsword.
Dinoblade drops next month on PC!
You wouldn't say or even believe metric measurements require additional thinking or calculation if you were born and raised under that system. You'd have the exact same quick math recall as you do under imperial, except you wouldn't feel like you have to justify the system.
Sounds like a lot of garbage. Im not seeing an actual explanation, and more just posthoc justification for why its actually fine and not simply because we're born into the imperial system and our minds warped around it for because of it.
Okay, time to explain the Imperial system, the metric system, and why attempts to replace either with the other are all retarded.
They have two different purposes.
The metric system is designed around precise measurement of objects. Its goal is to make engineering and scientific calculations simple.
The Imperial system is designed around humans. Its goal is to make calculation unnecessary.
100 degrees is really hot. 0 degrees is really cold. Anything that starts with a 5 is cool, anything that starts with an 8 is warm. No computation.
6 feet is tall, 5 feet is short.
100 pounds is light, 200 pounds is substantial, 300 pounds is heavy.
A 1000 square foot house is small, a 2000 square foot house is medium, a 3000 square foot house is large.
1 mile is a short walk, 2 miles is a medium walk, after that it takes a while.
1 acre of land is a homestead, 10 acres is an estate, 100 acres and up is a ranch or a farm.
Do you see now why it is so strange and awkward to convert from miles to feet?
It's because converting from miles to feet is not something you're supposed to do in the first place. Yes, they are both measures of length, so they are technically convertible, and yes, on rare occasions, you might need to do that.
But feet are for measuring humans, and things built around humans, like doorways, and mattresses. Miles are for measuring travel distance.
You wouldn't measure the distance between Seattle and Portland in feet for the same reason you wouldn't measure the distance between Tokyo and Osaka in mattress-lengths.
It would be silly.
This is why Americans so fiercely resistant to any notion of "conversion" to the metric system. Because it makes no sense. We already use the metric system for what it's good for, which is doing physics and chemistry and whatnot.
But converting everyday measurements to the metric system would be less useful, generally inconvenient, and serve no purpose other than to make petty government bureaucrats happy that everything is now tidy, orderly, and worse, three qualities that bureaucrats love.
I thought about this carefully when I wrote my first science fiction novel. In the world of the 22nd century, extraterrestrial settlers ("Orbitals") use three systems of measurement.
They measure themselves in feet, inches, and pounds.
They measure the spacecraft and habitats they build in meters and centimeters, grams and kilograms.
And they measure space travel distances in light-seconds and light-minutes.
Each system has its own natural scale.
The sole exception to this is when Marcus doses himself with drugs for high-g resistance, Miranda objects that he has taken too much, and Marcus responds by stating his mass... in kilograms.
Why?
Because they're talking about drug doses, a engineering measurement. Drugs are dosed in milligrams per kilogram.
So, yes, the Imperial system makes perfect sense when you understand what it's for, and no, we ain't changing.
And, as a general rule, when an entire civilization of smart people does something for centuries, and it makes no sense to you, they're probably not being silly.
It's more likely there's something you don't know.
So glad the boy is okay! ICE agents are still raping and killing people inside detention centers. There is no propaganda in the world that will hide the fact that they are the modern-day Gestapo and deserve to rot in hell.
And through his faith in Christ became the most powerful Holy spammer in existence. Also his mental disability allows him to talk to animals. Wyzegye the Holiest will be remembered forever.
And thats why FF2 is the best
FF2 is goated because I headcanon'd one of my friends was the 'simple' protagonist and his backstory was that was mentally disabled and didnt really understand religion at all, but REALLY loves Jesus and just does the whole church thing because Jesus would want him to
I hope reading about our scorn pushes them into a depression that causes them to begin resenting their jobs and their company and feel compelled to leave.
It wont happen. It wouldnt bring Halo 'back'. But at least itd finally be able to rest in peace.
"their love of the franchise"
>place in gaming zeitgeist is completely nonexsistant since 343
>hasn't experienced the fan adoration since before 343
>franchise has never felt like itself since 343
These people do not love Halo. They love what they want halo to be.
>ishygddt
@ReactionaryLuma It know this fella made contributions to Halo way beyond anything post-Bungie, but that doesn't give him a free card to shit on the current developers who are using their love for Halo to make the remake the best they can
I cant imagine how hurtful would be for them to read that
