To everyone curious why Lord Tony and others are strongly defending this game:

See, I don't actually understand why they chose this name. They could have called it absolutely anything else, and it would have been highly received, while accomplishing the exact same goals. Instead, they had to give it a name that's divisive for no reason.

Excuse me but he's right.

There is a complex story that you people aren't even looking for because the story isn't loving shoved down your throat.
He was being a weirdo because he jumped into our private conversation completely unsolicited, not because he made a poor argument in defense of the game.

Regardless, a game with a 'deep story' doesn't really make for a 'good game' unless there's some kind of mechanic that actually pushes the player to further the story. The objective of NMS as it currently exists is just to upgrade your vehicle over and over. The 'story' behind the game should have served as a long series of easter eggs, rather than the main point of the game.

I'm all for inclusion and stuff, but if you're attracted to someone who physically looks completely male, you're probably gay.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. It's just the way it is.

My very third day of college, I'm talking with some folks in the dining hall and No Man's Sky comes up. We all agree that it's a disappointment and has major problems. While we're talking about this, some rando walks by, overhears our conversation, turns 90 degrees and immediately sits down and jumps into a vehement defense of the game and its apparently 'deep and complicated story'. None of us knew who he was, and after we got him to stop talking about it, he gets up and leaves like nothing happened.

So yeah, that's No Man's Sky's target demographic.

Sam Hyde is a strange case. 95% of the time, his standup is pretty bad and unfunny.

The other 5% of the time, he creates jewels like this:

Animals > Wish You Were Here > Piper > Meddle > A Saucerful of Secrets > Dark Side of the Moon > The Wall > Atom Heart Mother > The Final Cut > Ummagumma > Obscured by Clouds > More > The Division Bell > The Endless River > A Momentary Lapse of Reason

this is fact
Wish You Were Here and Animals are some damned good albums, but Dark Side is near flawless. Not sure if I'd agree with this ranking 100%.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.
Some seriously crushing lyrics. They don't have to be, though.

Yeah, I actually take that part into consideration, but it's a little harder to believe the story when you look at the unusually coincedential details. There's an hour or two long video I watched explaining some of the most popular theories and what makes them believable.
That's the thing though, if you're hell-bent on tying coincidences and snippets of information into a conspiracy narrative, there is absolutely nothing that can stop you. For instance, next time a major shooting or other major event happens, google the name of the event + 'conspiracy' or 'truth'. Every single school shooting, third-world coup, and terrorist attack has people that have convinced themselves it was a government conspiracy. If this type of reasoning should be taken at face-value, then there is not a single bad thing in the world that hasn't been orchestrated by a secret governmental agency.

I just wanna correct you with the "missile in plane" part though because it's actually said to be just a missile sort of disguised as a plane either by editing or physical means. One thing i'm not going to deny about all this is that an invasion of the middle east, 9/11 or not, was unnecessary, and is the cause for all the bullstuff we're dealing with today.
That actually makes the story even more unbelievable. That means every single person on both of those planes, who were real people with real jobs and families, were sent to Belize for a government-funded retirement while their families were paid off to stay silent w/ visitation rights. That's probably an extra ten thousand people in on the conspiracy.

One thing i'm not going to deny about all this is that an invasion of the middle east, 9/11 or not, was unnecessary, and is the cause for all the bullstuff we're dealing with today.
Absolutely in agreement, and American nation-building in the Middle East definitely has some conspiracies in it (for instance, Operation Iraqi Liberation). It's just that 9/11 was used as an excuse, not created as one.

It was a missile and controlled demolition used as an excuse to invade the middle east. There's better evidence than this out there further proving it.
See, the problem with these kinds of conspiracy theories is that large groups of people cannot keep big secrets. The amount of people needed orchestrate the 'true' 9/11 would be staggering. You need people to slip a missile into a passenger plane, to hide explosives in a commercial skyscraper, to pay off the families of some Saudis to let their children blow themselves up in a plane, to pose as firefighters and dig out any incriminating evidence from the rubble, to pay off scientists to tell the public that the explosions were consistent with an airliner impact.

By the end of it, there would be tens of thousands of people all equally in-the-know about what happened, who the government just has to trust to not leak evidence that they were responsible. Fewer people were involved in NSA phone/internet tracking, and even then, multiple people released definitive evidence that the NSA was conspiring to invade the privacy of millions of Americans.

So really, the best proof that 9/11 happened the way that the government said it did, is that nobody from the 'inside' has come out and spilled their guts.

Ah, so I've found the problem.

Turns out, when you're calling a function like:
Code: [Select]
function onButtonPress(%client,%buttonNum) {
    do stuff();
}

You do not call it using onButtonPress(%client,%buttonNum); when you're making the button in the GUI editor. I.e., when you force the GUI to pass %client as an argument, it kills the game if you press the button while doing absolutely anything besides standing still. Very bizarre problem but this is definitely why it was happening.

The proper way to do it is to use onButtonPress(1); or whatever argument you want when writing the command for the GUI button.

its not blaming all muslims, its blaming the religion/ideology
Follow-up question, if you blame the religion for the violence, are Muslims culpable for being a part of that ideology?

Other follow-up question, how does blaming the religion/ideology further our goal of getting rid of terrorism?

So quick question here, what do we actually have to gain from blaming all Muslims for what the few extremists do? How does that further our goal of getting rid of terrorism?
