Submission + - Slashdot Alum Samzenpus's Fractured Veil Hits Kickstarter

CmdrTaco writes: Long time Slashdot readers remember Samzenpus,who posted over 17,000 stories here, sadly crushing my record in the process! What you might NOT know is that he was frequently the Dungeon Master for D&D campaigns played by the original Slashdot crew, and for the last few years he has been applying these skills with fellow Slashdot editorial alum Chris DiBona to a Survival game called Fractured Veil. It's set in a post apocalyptic Hawaii with a huge world based on real map data to explore, as well as careful balance between PVP & PVE. I figured a lot of our old friends would love to help them meet their kickstarter goal and then help us build bases and murder monsters! The game is turning into something pretty great and I'm excited to see it in the wild!

If someone needs a charge they will go to the store/restaurant/bar that has a charging station. While they are they they will go into the store/restaurant/bar and perhaps buy something. The cost and maintenance of what is essentially a fancy electrical outlet will be minimal. Also, if someone is considering going to a store/restaurant/bar that has charging discounts for purchases, where do you think they are going to go?

My theory is that it was caused by the evolution of large carnivorous whales.

Agreed. If it was a one-time event that reduced the population, if there was no major difference in the ecosystem the population would have rebounded. With marine mammals, you now had both a competitor for resources and in some cases, a new predator that was eating you.

I am a left-wing pinko communist, but I have to admit that liberals got this one wrong. The liberal zeal to protect Asians from racist attacks and to counter anything Trump said did influence liberals push the idea that the virus came from wet markets. We must not allow our ideology to cloud the truth.
