When a piece of content that doesn’t allow downvotes, like a tweet, has lots more reposts than it does likes, the “ratio” is seen as proof the opinion was disagreed with, proportionally to the “ratio” itself.

For whatever it’s worth, even if elements of the plot have been recognized as Good Story TM already by other games, that doesn’t take away from your idea. Tropes become tropes because people like them. Who knows if you’ll ever get to work on this particular idea you’ve had, but from hearing your idea I feel like you have that sort of knack for good story beats that a writer needs.

You’ve come up with a neat game. I’d enjoy playing it. I think you’ve moved beyond remake and into sequel territory, though. The multiple parties working at odds reminds me of the Golden Sun series.

True, but your savings on non-luxury bones helps with the fees associated with luxury ones, I’m sure. I can’t do anything for my bones with a $30 glowing petunia.

Bioluminescent house plants are cool but as an American I can tell you right now that my luxury bones hurt.

That was an interesting read. Thank you. You might make it a post of its own.

Topic-adjacent but Hollywood Video was national. I visited one in northern Virginia and in Florida as a kid.

I know Valve and others have done a lot of the legwork already, so maybe it won’t be so difficult for Apple to catch up, but it feels a little bit like Microsoft’s last attempt at making phones. It’s been a minute since the starting bell, the competition has the software catalog already, and it’ll cost the consumer more.

Never knew I wanted this. I’ll add it to the list of cyborg enhancements I’d be okay with, like camera eyes, a thumb drive thumb and deployable roller skate feet.

I think he meant it’s wild we’ve been conditioned to not even think about government takeover of publicly funded assets. Like it still feels like the nuclear option even to Americans who believe they are socialists. Not that your comment was insufficient. I understand why you would feel defensive, the Internet can be a mean place.

Ha! That could be it too, but I had meant more like a wrap around the pole.

Oh just fuck off. You’re seriously chasing me around the comment section, butthurt because I’d rather talk to somebody less unpleasant. You’re not changing my perspective if that’s why you’re doing it.

No, I wasn’t enjoying one conversation in the room so I went to talk to somebody else. I’m not required to talk to them and I am free to explore a topic with someone else without citing previous discussions I’ve had. I deny nothing that guy said, though I also don’t take it as face value when they also ignored my points in the thread, I’d just rather talk to this person about it if they’d care to.

That guy isn’t being a dick. You’ve got a bad attitude and I don’t like talking to you. Goodbye.

So you did say that. But you just told me you didn’t. You’re confusing. I also showed you a motor powered this way yet you say it isn’t feasible. So I really feel like I’m done with this conversation. Good day.

Fair enough. That definitely is true for a car. I would wonder whether the power/surface area/weight/energy consumption all scale linearly or if a vehicle like a semi with more surface area could take advantage of increased number solar panels, or would the amount of work needed to move the larger truck scale equally to the power gained?

Thank you for your proving reasoning for your opinions and sources. You’re groovy. Don’t feel like you have to again for this random thought of mine unless it’s enjoyable for you as part of our conversation.

“There are physical limits at play to how much power this can provide. No amount of technological improvement can break them.”

Also, the fact it powers the motor for the camper AND all the appliances and such just proves the viability that much more, as the extra power draw is still supported by the camper’s solar power system.

You first said is was physically impossible. I’ve shown you it wasn’t and predicted you’d move the goal post from possibility to practicality. And you did. Thanks for proving that you don’t really care about whether it could even possibly work, but just that you wanna dunk on excitement and be right on the Internet. Have a good day.

It also turns the motor bro, did you watch it?

Here’s a video of a camper van with traditional solar panels on the roof using a slide-out awning technique.

You might say that’s impractical for regular use. Sure, it is, but your previous argument was that is was impossible due to physics, which the video clearly shows isn’t physically impossible, so we’re already much closer to a reality. I’m not saying it could drive forever without stopping or be the only power source. That’s silly. But if it reduces the need to charge from a grid by X% it can be a useful technology. Go on now and tell me how it could never ever work.
