I would say the cop is just doing his job. He asks for the driver's licence and the driver just refuses, because he sees no reason why he should. In Germany you can always be asked your licence without any reason, so I don't get why the driver is pissed. Just show you f***ing licence and be done with it. In my opinion the driver is in the wrong here.

Why oh why do people steer in the direction of danger, instead of the opposite way (to avoid it)? Note that I am not immune from this. When playing games, I frequently find myself accidentally strafing in the direction of projectiles when I should be moving the opposite way. This person would have been fine if they had viered left instead of right, into the oncoming path of the guy.

Well, in a situation like this, people just do without thinking. If you have never been in a similar situation, your brain just takes a random direction. If the driver gets into the same situation again, it is quite possible that the brain will decide to go into the other direction. The other problem is, the driver could not know in which direction the other driver will try to evade, so this was more of a "two people try to evade each other in the same direction and stand awkwardly in front of each other" situation. Just with cars...

"People clicked the red X, but the free offer was about to expire, so we just forced it onto them." lol

 

 

 

If I did that, it would be criminal. But corporations do not commit crimes, they only make mistakes. And it is only a "mistake" when their bad behavior doesn't earn them enough to offset the penalties (if any)!

When I was more stupid than now I was confused how the hell Garrett who is weak guy(in my gameplays) can lift a body. Now when I am wiser how much strength you need to use a bow I get how strong he is.

"I really perceive that vanity about which most men merely prate — the vanity of the human or temporal life. I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active — not more happy — nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary — and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain — that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future — that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves — nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass."...

- 2 July 1844 letter to James Russell Lowell from Edgar Allan Poe.

Not an expert negotiator or anything like that, but I think this cop did a shitty job trying to talk her down.

Instead of constantly disagreeing with her (you're not, you're not, you're not), he should have tried to use reason. Throwing it in the person's face that they're wrong without any explanation as to why is likely to only escalate things. Also, this isn't like diffusing a bomb that's on a set timer. Talking someone out of suicide can't be rushed. The slower you take things, the more successful you're likely to be. Taking things too quickly will only cause escalation. Try talking to them about (other things). Ask them if they want something to eat/drink. Slowly make a connection with them and then move up from there.

Always fun to see people push things further than they were designed to go...

 

 

frame rate is very good, but he's "cheating", by using a custom made cartridge with a more powerful processor that's doing the work. Many old console games worked this way; shipping with co-processors to augment the system.

 

Impressive skills either way.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
