@thevrpisti Egy picit azért meredek. Gondoltam volna, hogy esetleg a Steam Deck drágulások talán picit le tudtak volna faragni a Steam Machine árából... De ezek szerint nem.

A controversial game called Plantation Simulator has been released on Steam and is receiving huge backlash from people calling it a slavery simulator.

The game is described on Steam as a simple farming simulator where players motivate workers to work on a plantation.

But the gameplay centers on a whipping mechanic applied to Black workers to increase productivity.

The developer has described it as:

“In this game, you will be whipping black people to keep your farm productive. If you whip your black person too much, they will die.”

@ilogicForm @ZentriXG I'm sorry, was this supposed to be a "you're wrong because x, y or z" argument?

🚨: RUSSIA has unveiled Rosatom’s new plasma engine — a prototype capable of accelerating particles to 100 km/s, with endurance tests lasting up to 2,400 hours.

The technology could cut travel time to Mars down to just 30–60 days, and in theory, make trips to the Moon possible in only 12 hours.

The biggest obstacle to problem solving is "giving things the wrong names".

If your city has a feral human problem, and you call it a "homeless problem", you aren't going to understand the correct solution. So you're going to end up buying a lot of homes for feral drug zombies to turn into rat infested drug dens.

Conversely, if your city has a homeless cat problem, and you call it a "feral cat problem", you're going to end up killing a lot of innocent animals, and being troubled by a lot of unnecessary rats.

If you take a noise mitigating technology, put it on a car and call it a "muffler", then pretty soon you're required by law to have one, because no one wants to listen to 2500 explosions per second right outside his house.

But if you it on a rifle, and apply for a patent calling it a "silencer", then pretty soon you're required by law to not have one, because some Hollywood filmmaker thought it was a magic device that would let you have invisible gunfights in the middle of a crowded subway.

Now let's suppose you want to develop radar camouflage.

To do this, you need eleventy billion trillion squillion dollars from congress, which they will print with their money printer, thereby reducing the value of some carpenter's life savings in Peoria, Illinois to just enough to buy a large pizza.

But since congress has the collective IQ of a goldfish, and less attention span, you can't call it what it is, which is radar camouflage, because then they will think you just need to paint some tan and green blobs on planes, and they will only give you two billion trillion squillion dollars.

They'll still print the rest, of course, but they'll spend it on tiny houses for feral drug zombies (built on contract for two million dollars each by a contractor who just happens to be a senator's cousin), and on murdering homeless cats.

You want that extra nine billion trillion squillion dollars. Partially because you need it, but also because congress just inflated your life savings to the price of one large pizza.

So you call the whole thing a "stealth fighter" which will be "invisible to radar".

And you get eleventy billion trillion squillion dollars. Yay!

But now everyone who isn't an engineer is confused. They now literally think you have an invisible airplane, like Wonder Woman scooting across the sky on her butt in an 80s cartoon.

If you had called it "camouflage", you wouldn't have that problem. Because everybody knows that camouflage doesn't make you invisible. Camouflage just makes it take longer to spot you.

Which gives you more time to do stuff before angry people start shooting at you.

No one would ever call camouflage a "failure" because a soldier wearing a tan and green jacket got shot. Because it's named correctly, so people understand it correctly.

So @Microinteracti1 is dead wrong. But it's not his fault. He just believed the lie that was intended for congress, because he's not an engineer.

It's not even the fault of the people who lied. Yes, they wanted money. But they also wanted less dead pilots.

So whose fault is it?

Congress, of course.

You have to lie to them to get anything done, because they are a bunch of 50+ year old theater kids, with no understanding of the world they live in, and no skills except winning rigged popularity contests and being sex pests to any woman or child who strays too close.

When the system becomes so entrenched and ossified that it spends more time and money dealing with social expectations than physical realities, of course the impingement of universal laws on your bubble is going to come as a bit a of rude shock.

In reality, radar works like light. It bounces off stuff, and then you detect it, and notice that it bounced off something.

Only difference is, light comes from the sun, but you have to shine the radar yourself.

There's a little piece of tech that cyclists use so you won't run them over when they ignore stoplights at night, or cut you off in traffic, entrusting their lives to you while assuming you're heartless because of your Trump 2024 bumper sticker.

This piece of tech is called retroreflective clothing. It's designed to bounce light straight back at whatever angle it came in at, based on the assumption that your eyes are in roughly the same direction as your headlights.

This way, you see them, and you only fantasize about killing them on purpose, instead of doing it for real by accident.

Radar camouflage is the opposite. It's designed to absorb as much radar energy as possible, and to throw the rest off at a different angle.

This increases the time it takes to realize you're there at all, and the time it takes to figure out where you are, which means that you have more time to drop JDAMs on people before someone starts shooting at you.

Which is nice.

But there are countermeasures. First of all, you're still a solid physical object that reflects light, and that includes radar. You can't suppress it all. Secondly, if you're throwing off reflected radar in a different direction, the enemy can put radar emitters, and radar detectors, in multiple places. And have them talk to each other.

A camouflaged guy can hide from one person, but it's harder to hide from ten people standing in a big circle around your hiding spot.

So you use all your tricks, try not to get notice, and you devote special effort to throwing long range munitions at all the stuff people put there to see you with.

But you know the risk, and you take it seriously, because no one told the PILOTS they were invisible.

That's just what they sold to congress.

For eleventy billion trillion squillion dollars of your kids' college money.
