I’d estimate that 90%+ of us would be dead in a matter of months if not weeks.

Consider the significant lack of food available. Think about how much food the average person has in their house. Probably a week, maybe two. Perhaps a month if you’re wise and start rationing immediately. But most won’t. Most people would be in denial at the start and assume someone or something would rescue us.

Now consider how much food there is available at your local grocery store. And how many people that store could feed. Compare that to the population of the geographic area that store supports and you’ll see that for the most part we would be out of food in a matter of months.

Sure we could scavenge and perhaps hunt small game, but that’s limited and not something most people could do. But to get to a point where we’re actually able to do some level of substance farming, that could take up to a year to complete depending on the season society collapses. Before we get there most of us would have staved to death. Probably too many would die and there wouldn’t be enough labour to work the farms either.

And that’s just considering food. There’s still the issue of clean potable water, and infections or other health issues that turn deadly quickly without modern medical intervention.

And these issues are all compounded if you live in a high density urban environment. Which many do.

TLDR: if society collapses, it might be wise to just bow out before things get really bad.

Empire at War is a viable alternative while you wait for this.

“Not a fan” is generous imo. That looks like a beta project rushed to production.

My first glance at the title was that it was one six year old responsible for 60% of playtime.

While I don’t disagree…. I’d just like to say, that if you pay enough for porn, you can get exactly what you’re looking for.

ROI isn’t worth it though.

As someone who will never play these games ( not my thing), how is this implemented? I would assume that expecting users to rate other players would be burdensome and wouldn’t have the legs to work over a long period of time.

I truly like the idea, as the toxicity in online gaming is a primary reason I will never play these games, but I also wouldn’t want to personally rate the folks I play with every match either. Just lazy. But if it was easy and streamlined I wouldn’t mind it.

Just curious on how it all works I guess.

X-Men Cypher. The power to instinctively know/understand all languages.

This is the best, most OP, power set that is nonviolent in nature.

You’re never gonna take over the world and rule with an iron fist, but using a liberal definition of “languages”, there’s not much you couldn’t do. And it would fly under the radar too. No one would be gunning for you like they would be gunning for Superman or any other high level power set.

Sit back, rule the poker world, be a software mogul, sleep with beautiful people, etc. You may not rule the world, but you could live a life of idle luxury without much effort.

Sarcasm wasn’t needed. That’s actually the (older) thought process. Still held by many today of course.

To be fair… That really looked like the cop was having a traumatic event. He froze, he wasn’t being malicious.

Nope. Kingpin from the Marvel TV show Daredevil.

Fantasies??? Please, I have plans!!!!

Was it Americas Army? I played that when it released. Not bad. I’m not a fan of shooters, but it was at least interesting to see a game that had an honest attempt at making it as “real” as possible.

The sniper mission was the only thing I didn’t complete. It had one mission where you had to sit and wait for up to 48 hours real time before you could take a shot at your target. Neat concept, but totally impractical for a game.
