My point is that you can generalise. I.e. that green1's statment was correct.

I'd say "I'm glad you're alive," instead of "Oh you survived, too bad, your life will suck from now on."

No, but stating that rape is as bad as murder will make some victims feel that way.

You're comparing rape with a killing someone on their death bed. Sure, people have been killed right before they would have died, but that does not make rape worse than murder. By that logic you can say that bullying and teasing is as bad as murder, because there are people that would rather die than be bullied.

If I was lying on my deathbed in great agony and a man came in and gave me the choice of rape/murder, I'd pick murder. So yes, it's possible to think up scenarios where murder is the lesser evil. But it's contrived. People generally aren't raped on the deathbed. Instead it's, say, between a man raping or killing your teenage daughter. In the former she "may" kill herself, while in the latter she "can't" get her life back in order because she's dead. I.e. rape is the lesser evil.

I think you're misunderstanding me. I'm not saying that one should blame the victim of rape or not talk about it. Saying murder is worse than rape is not victim blaming.

Rape isn't trivial, but implying that people should just as well be dead because they were raped pisses me off. People have killed themselves over such attitudes.

"Can" in this context does not mean "will". Yes, there are rape victims that kill themselves, but he's not saying anything against that.

A rather contrived scenario. I too know without a doubt which victim I'd rather be. And that's alive, thank you very much, don't pick for me.

Research have shown that people can suffer trauma from make-belief fantasies. Conversely people can be brutally abused and not suffer any trauma at all. People are complex, yes.

No it's utterly right. In fact, attitudes like these causes trauma in rape victims. Believing themselves to be damaged goods and worthless.

I think many folks don't realize this in particular. In my perfect dream state there would be noise limits along with speed limits.

Yeah, I was expecting something more than a level generator for a simple 3D engine.

But can an AI made today be creative? Creativity is often just a mesh of existing ideas, but how hard is that to replicate in code?

My grandma has a phone with a single button for making an alarm call. It's straight forwards, easy to use, and promptly forgotten in any emergency situation. Features like these are fine on paper, but unless you call 911/the police often you will forget them in a panic.

If movies and TVs always showed people pressing "the emergency button" instead of "911", then people might use it.

Marathon has a humoristic story going for it, but the gameplay is crud. This while Doom is as fun today as it was in 1993. If not for being a mac exlusive game, and Halo, Marathon would have been quickly forgotten.

Neat, I'll have to check it out. Wonder if it works with Brutal Doom.

Brutal Doom is possibly the best Doom mod ever. Check out this review.

Had a ton of fun with it. It's not extra levels, instead you play the same old levels with smarter monsters, heavier weapons and extreme brutality. The latter seems silly now, it's all just sprites, but I wonder how that would have been received in 1993.

And next year Doom 3 is ten years old.

Time flies

Marathon does not hold a candle to Doom.

There is an Xbox emulator that play games, unfortunately it's for the Xbox 360.

Sega Rally 2, Worms, Half Life (Bootleg), and Tomb Raider ran like crap? They seem to be plenty smooth on YouTube.

Halo was suppose to be a Real Time Strategy game when MS bought them. That's not "mostly finished."

Sure, just give me an account.

Another reason for it's awesomeness is that it fits a GUI with Networking in 30KB if RAM and 30KB of ROM.

My mouse driver use more than that.
