      Working fine for the best predator in the sea, even before the dawn of trees. So, meta is the issue.

      Well, except the ones we just drove over cliffs with fire by the hundreds so we could harvest the good bits

    Human beings really are the high skill, high reward spec. And like every other game ever, we get a bunch of dead weight teammates that the pros have to carry. We could be competing with other regions (planets/galaxies) already. Smh

    For the vast majority of human history we have just been throwing sticks and stones and just got better at it.

    Throwing stones by hand, invent slings to throw stones faster and further, invent siege engines to throw bigger stones even farther.

    Throwing sticks by hand, sharpening the sticks into thrown spears, invent the atlal to throw the spears further and with more power, make the sticks smaller and invent bow to shoot them with more speed and even further, invent siege engines to throw bigger sticks with more power.

        Or just hang out with them all the time, mostly being nice, so they get used to not running away and we don’t have to find or chase them when we are hungry.

      Guns? Actually just throwing rocks at high speed.

      Nuclear bomb? Throwing a special, spicy rock.

      It really is just rock chucking all the way down, projectile combat completely broke the meta

        it is similar to how any kind of widely used power plant is basically just a steam machine. the difference is how we create the heat, but no matter if we burn coal or split atom there, it is still just a steam machine. if we some day finally manage to get fusion reactors to work, it will still be just a steam machine.

          Some of the new fusion startups are looking into aneutronic fusion, in which most of the energy output is directly captured as electricity. They will be using steam-driven generators to take advantage of the waste heat but they will be a secondary component.

        Guns I’ll grant you, but

        Nuclear bomb? Throwing a special, spicy rock

        “Spicy” is doing a lot of work there lol.

      I’d argue we’re still just throwing (highly processed) rocks but much much faster using gunpowder to accelerate them through the tube of handheld devices

      I have to separate my cats for feeding and one of them isn’t fond of the process so she runs away from me. I simply follow her at a walking pace saying, “You cannot defeat the persistence predator,” until she gives up. It never takes long.

        My cats went offense instead of defense / escape for the period during which I had to do it.
