@Lady_Euromutt @ArdainianRight @xianc78 @RustyCrab Why do elevated levels of bacteria, which can be cultured and viewed with even a child's toy microscope, exist within infected wounds? We have such a good understanding of bacterial structure and characteristics that we have specific dyes which will show specific types and help to determine treatment options. Hans Christian Gram developed the Gram Staining method in the 1800s, which is often actually the first thing used to quickly determine the type of bacteria before developing a treatment protocol. We know a lot about bacteria and how they propagate and how to treat them. We know some disease is caused by the things smaller than bacteria, because we can't see them but we can predictably replicate them through fluid transfers.

Is hachi/lunarfox a very dedicated Troll, or a very obsessive leftist?

@Lady_Euromutt @ArdainianRight @xianc78 @RustyCrab Let me just start by saying I am not a shill for vax or pharma or anything else except my belief in God. I've long been critical of pharma, and I'm willing to (and have) changed my opinions on a number of issues over the years, particularly early childhood vaccination. I simply think you're throwing the baby out with the bathwater with a lot of this stuff. We discovered a ton of useful stuff in medicine in the 19th and 20th century, and much of that is ignored on purpose because of a combination of profit seeking and malicious actors.

>Vaccines actually spread disease
This is well known. The polio vaccine contributed massively to a spike in polio in urban areas; the solution amplified the problem, but it did solve it. Of course that creates new issues with the problems of introducing a foreign body, chemical carriers, and adjuvants as almost a necessity for the average person.
For a more recent example, the NHL has had mumps outbreaks where (presumably vaccinated & younger) asymptomatic players shed it to others. Canada doesn't have the same mumps vax protocol as the USA.
>Vaccination doesn't work
How many vaccinated kids do you see with chicken pox? Compare that to communities like The Amish or Orthodox jews. Just because we do a poor job of it doesn't mean the concept is wrong. When I was small, I went to a 'pox party', which is functionally very similar to primitive inoculation. On the subject of chicken pox, shingles can allegedly be kept at bay by occasional exposure to chicken pox, which is something that no longer happens due to vaccination of children and smaller families.

>Vaccines and autism
Mechanistically plausible and I'm totally fine believing it. One point that no one has ever explained to me is why many vaccine manufacturers mix their batches before shipping. Could it possibly be to obfuscate data if a bad vax batch was created? I imagine if every vaccinated child in some city born within a 3 month window was autistic, it would ring a few alarms.

>Terrain Theory
Don't agree, and I don't think it's fair to ask me to watch (often poorly produced) videos taking up hours of my time to get me to believe something that fundamentally will not change my interaction with the world. The heuristic change is non-existent; you still wash your hands after handling garbage whether you're a terrain theorist or germ theory enjoyer.

@PhenomX6 @ArdainianRight @xianc78 that's why I'm happily a "conspiracy theorist" now, because I'm tired of hearing preposterous stuff like that.

Even though I've already published my game, now my explosions look fucking weak after watching this video.

Player can now take damage. Game Over screen is just a white screen right now.

Oh yeah, I've also fixed the bug, but I didn't feature that in this recording.

Just a heads up for any instance admins: consider banning zoophiles just in case we have an influx of them just like what we saw with the MAP influx last year. It's just going to lead to people posting actual animal porn, which while not explicitly illegal in the US, there are some states in the US where it is and there are other countries that ban it.

I would like to see "The News Cycle" die this year. I'm doing my part in it by writing the newsletter; you can have your own news cycle independent of any consensus intelligence system, and that's probably a good thing because it would take people out of the monopolized market space.

The player now knocks back when colliding with the enemy. And I've encountered a bug during this recording.
