Oh btw david, is your game gonna be VR only or have a comp version? Or is it built so that it can be played on regular comp without needing a separate version?

@DarkwolfX37

It requires tracked controllers, but I can try to hack together a monitor version if someone really wants it. It'd be a completely different kind of game, though.

I'll probably make some flat games too at some point. I had an idea for an arcade game that evolved into this. Once I cut my ties with this game, I can look into making that one.

[Armed Forces]

"The 2nd Amendment was designed with muskets in mind, not high-powered handguns and assault rifles."

"It was devised for people to be able to protect themselves with the same type of weaponry used by those from whom they might need protection."

"Where exactly does it say that in the Constitution- must have missed it?"

"Right next to the word 'muskets'."

Love that one.

It was, however, designed in order for well trained militias to be formed, not for the average person (see also: utter moron) to have an assault rifle for no reason other than "Oh it's cool."
That's not to say we should ban them, but for fuck's sake we need to jump through tons of hoops in order to get a CAR, something we use to move places, and yet I could easily go get a high powered firearm that could mow down a ton of people. And >I< should not be able to legally get a gun. Yet I could, pretty easily.

@DarkwolfX37

Because car manufacturers are trying to make sure that they don't lose money. The amount of paperwork is proportional to the expense of the item.

I concur.

@Nimda

Um... It's a federal law that you need certain training and licenses to have a car, but not guns. That was the point I was trying to make.

@DarkwolfX37

I'm referring to the paperwork. I do believe that training should be mandatory for safety purposes.

@DarkwolfX37

And I respectfully disagree with the fact that cars have as many hoops to jump through as they do, but you probably expect that of me. Just, it bugs me that people make the argument I mentioned as though the Founding Fathers had:

•No expectation for the progression of technology in warfare.
•No inclination to design their Constitution for the future (which everyone knows they did.)
•Lack of foresight.
•Failed in creating a document with flexibility that would allow the country to run on its word for generations. (It has)
•Failed to see that designing the amendment with only their time's technology in mind would create a set of laws that couldn't change with the times or even fulfill the purpose for which it was made at any point beyond the immediate situation they needed it for, which was to fight oppressors on a level playing field in regards to equipment.

It doesn't make sense to argue that the Second Amendment was designed with muskets in mind and muskets only. Just argue the real reason you believe what you do, and say that you simply feel like the best way to make our country better is to restrict access to weapons. I have more respect for anyone who, if they don't know why they believe something, at least state that it's simply how they feel instead of trying to invent "reasons" like that.

EDIT: And I should say that making the argument about muskets and such does imply at least most of the bullets I wrote.

Just bought two audible audio books.

A Game of Thrones and Darkly Dreaming Dexter.

@Armed Forces

Right. The "muskets" argument is stupid. I'm not disagreeing with that.

I know you aren't. Just felt like ranting, and an opportunity presented itself. Apologies. 8P

Momentai.

Oddly the podcast I listen to is making the exact argument I stated here about cars and guns and expanding on it immensely.
Gotta love when that happens.
