Topicwhat game is the emperor playing in DUNE 2 *marked spoilers*

He's playing a board game and it looks like go except they have some larger pyramids that he moves like a rook.

Have they ever talked about this game in Dune lore? Or is it just that? Go with some kind of rook piece that can move around? Perhaps the rook piece is symbolic of the spacing guild--after all the emperor will move a large pyramid quite literally to Dune at the end

Wasn't the plot of 28 Weeks Later basically an explanation?

The mother was an asymptomatic carrier and in the end, the son was too and spread it to France. It's been a very long time since I've seen the 2nd one, so I may be totally off.

this.

eventually insects would be able to carry it around as well. it doesnt really matter as it's so infectious.

depends on the school.

also plenty of people will insist they didn't have that at school, when in fact the library had a few apple IIs and they just never went to the library

some schools really do have nothing tho

You'll notice places like V***'s Lair are still around... They don't run any ads at all.

Nintendo seem to be okay with that.

Also, as always, just stay away from the current gen in piracy. Like, now is the time to emulate all the Wii and PS2 games you never played, not the time to emulate switch.

Rogue is not a roguelike or a roguelite. It's Rogue.

Anyway, Adventure game 3 is the first roguelite. Second is ET. These games have random elements that make every run unique.

Subway fucking suck. They charge 3 bucks for a bag of chips that Walmart literally sells for 50 cents.

They sell cokes, which cost like 15 cents including the cup.

They sell shit cookies at 10000% markup.

They run their entire locations with 2 workers during lunch rush.

Fuck subway. We'd all be better off without it. At least other fast food tastes good. Subway tastes like shit and it's bad for you.

Robot2600

you're out of your mind if you think dark ages arent very fucking real and very fucking common in history.

in rome, fashion, science, art, went virtually unchanged for 1000 years as money was spent on golden statues and the empire descended into corruption, ignorance, and Christianity.

in ancient mycenae they just fucking forgot how to fucking read. lost 1000 years of knowledge.

we're headed for the same thing.

but this time it'll be 1000 years of increasingly-bad marvel movies and an ever-changing cast of mercurial-but-powerful corporations.

people will rely on AI and old code, and they'll forget how to do things. corporations will work to keep library and database access as pain-in-the-ass as possible, promoting subscription services for everything.

the rate of computer processing will slow down. pipe dreams like quantum computers are already refuted, but less and less funding will be spent on abstract physics. physics majors are already slashed across the last decade and the physicists we have arent as good at engineering or math as the ones we had last century. computers will simply not get more powerful. the playstation 6 is just a playstation 5 is just a playstation 4.

global warming will irreversibly kill off most of the insect and fuck everything up. future generations wont see butterflies, honeybees, or have nice seasons. nature and climate will be worse.

eventually the problem will get so bad that most resources will have to be diverted to prevent mass deaths. this takes away energy from everything else and life becomes a survival test.

once that is solved, planet starts to heal in a few hundred years, we've gone 500-600 years and still haven't really progressed that much passed 2024. at times, certain populations, including women, are even worse off than they are now. the future looks back at 1990-2010 and wishes we could have got our shit together.

unfortunately, in our quest to save the planet, the process we used needed helium. or palladium. or gold. and we literally used 100% of that element and it's just fucking gone. or we don't have that much.

no one's gone to space for 300 years that was wasteful, even if we wanted to leave the solar system, no one would know how.

the Great Solar Flare wiped out all the computers in 2275, and all the old storage media from those days has decayed.
