It’s prebuilt and handmade, hence the price. Making it cheaper - molds and better plastic in them would never pay for itself. It’s a large model so either a huge injection molder, or one wall at a time. Add to it the fact that probably between 30 - 50k needs to be spent per mold (one for a single wall) Add in time for the dude to supervise the machine. Etc etc. Shit would add up. For this, an artist probably makes them, assembles them en masse, could probably use low volume techniques. It’ll be more expensive, but you can put 2 - 3 in each shop, not many people would buy them anyway and it gets free marketing (as we can see in this post). Depending on the time it takes to make one, the dude could easily be making $50 an hour doing that.

Well, don’t shoot your shot too early. Or rather, don’t loose too early?

Yeah, read the room. This is news about a foiled terrorist attack on a German train station. Not everything needs to be “fun”. Not everything needs to be nonsense. There are better ways to contribute, especially since you basically went “omg police handcuffed a suspect they wanna bdsm?” but for the bomb squad.

Lemmy is 1000x more toxic than reddit ever was. Reddit had so many users that insane takes were downvoted and those people burried. Lemmy was made by insane people.

If you are not an expert, why are you so stubbornly repeating your opinion over and over?

They are the experts and they decided to handle them a specific way.

If only you could read, you would know I never said that.

Yours and mine. Next time don’t ask questions about a hypothetical like some “ackschually” nerd.

Yeah you say all that and yet the UN is still useless. It hasn’t prevented wars. The peacekeepers do jack shit. It’s about as effective as thoughts and prayers - after all, everything that can be done is “talk”.

And then a game gets updated so the hashes don’t match and uh oh, everything is fucked. Oh, but we can change the hashes of the files in the executable! Yeah, so can they. People modding shit into the executable is basically a given. Let alone the fact that you’d need to sit through a steam “validation of files” length of time every time you’d need to launch a game (because validation works exactly as you have described).

What is gained is that it has access to more information. Some cheats use an entirely different program / process that reads memory and outputs info that is available to the game but hidden from the player. Like a client needs to know where a person on the other team is to be able to draw their model. So you read that, you put a little box over where they are, and bang you have wallhacks.

Uh huh, sure buddy.

I’m not here to argue a hypothetical with someone who “just asks questions”.

Simple, prevent wars. Kick leaders in the balls. Lessen human suffering and violence.

if only the UN wasn’t so useless

It’s actually a scam that it is pointless. All it does is it creates an illusion of discourse when there is none - the “big boys” will still do whatever suits them best - be it China, Russia, US.

The entirety of Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty made less money than the first paid mount skin in World of Warcraft. That’s why companies don’t make linear games - because people will buy the microtransaction that required 1/1 000 000 effort of the game for more money than the game made.

You are just giving more reasons for China to do it.

If only UN wasn’t completely useless to the point of not doing anything

No, they don’t. Just because they have “scient” in the name doesn’t mean they have anything to do with science.

There is a difference because you have anecdotes, not data. You can’t draw conclusions from them. The entire “experiment” could be poisoned by a single person with joint disease. It could be poisoned by a single person lying about the severity of the pain etc.

I don’t need to deny anything you are saying, I just get to stop interacting with an obvious troll from an instance that spawns people like you.
