    should have specified, not in that way, in the way that you have a full entire earth with everything in real life available to mess with (as realistic as possible) without repercussions

    "if someone made a game that had all of earth modeled down to the very last detail (so interiors and stuff) that had beamng soft-body physics, gta open world, every weapon ever made, infinitely high player MP (obviously you can set limits based on your pc's power), every vehicle ever made, and free updates (so like new vehicles and updates houses as they get made IRL) that would be awesome"

    which is basically real-life without the having to actually earn money and age and stuff (obviously with the option to do so, but with the ability to make time way faster, as well as with cheats to start out however the heck you want to start out as (for example, if you wanted to actually do all that waiting in real-time, then you could) so i guess technically true, but it'd have the ability to not wait if you didn't want to

    Someone once asked me why I don't want to become a dad, this is why:

    I begin tucking him into bed and he tells me, “Daddy, check for monsters under my bed.” I look underneath for his amusement and see him, another him, under the bed, staring back at me quivering and whispering, “Daddy, there’s somebody on my bed.”

    It's fake (probably), I know that. But the initial thought of it though.

    If that's what you want then Outerra/Anteworld has done a good job for modern technology. There are no buildings but it's a full-size replica of Earth to mess around on.

    Sounds like a nice rainfall. Nothing bad though. 25-35 mph winds are about average here for thunderstorms. Scary was the 100+ Mph storm that wrecked this area a couple years ago. I was outside mowing and saw the storm from coming in from quite a distance out. It was is mass of clouds darker than night. I figured it would arrive in about an hour. Well, in about 5 minutes it had arrived suddenly. It was like the sun was turned off instantly. Wind became insane and I ran inside, grabbed my dog and my sister and ran to the basement. 80-105mph winds ravaged everything and uprooted numerous huge trees. The tornado sirens were going off for 2 hours and the power was out for about 4 hours (we got lucky, most houses within a mile of me had no power for a week). So many trees had fallen everywhere and flooding was insane. Many roads were closed due to fallen debris. Those storms are scary. Luckily this area hasn't seen a tornado in a long time.

    the rain part is going to be nice, the wind part i'm half ok with

    The good part: fairly decent chance of power going out, meaning NO SCHOOL :D (online school, no power = no internet and no pc)

    and that ending brings me to the bad part: no internet and no pc if the power does go out, also i'll probably end up having to bring the decorations back inside so they don't fly away

    Does your school not have any backup systems for the electricity? It would take Armageddon to knock the power out of schools over here. Most of the schools in my area have plenty of backup generators. Even in a city wide blackout, the schools would still have power.

    Thanks for proving my point, that looks horrific.

    I think he means his "school" is actually a series of online courses that he couldn't access if his *own* power went out.

    365 days in a year, so lets assume dalek does 3 meals a day

    365*3 = 1095 meals

    1095*$4 = $4380

    his age says he's 15, the average person lives to about 82 years*

    so starting tomorrow if he were to eat taco bell for all his meals for all his life:

    $4380 * 67 = $293,460

    so actually pretty expensive in the long run

    No shit food for a lifetime will be expensive. What if he ate at fine dining/high end restaurants three times a day?

    1095 meals*$60 = $65700

    $65700*67 = $4,401,900



    Or if he ate this $2300 hotdog three times a day?

    1095 hotdogs @ $2300 ea = $2,518,500

    $2,518,500*67 = $168,739,500



    WHAT IF HE ATE 500g OF GOLD THREE TIMES A DAY?

    1095 sittings of gold @ $24,171.80/500g = $26,481,121

    $26,481,121 * 67 = $1,773,364,107

    tl;dr youre an idiot, lmfao

    Woah zappy, calm down. :p

    You know, most people on these forums I'd meet with in real life and try to be nice to. There are a few people who's posting habits I don't like, but I bet most of you in real life are pretty ok.

    I'd slap the crap out of crimsonskull though.

    If you can find out who I talk to outside the forums, you'll find that my personality changes A LOT outside these walls.

    I come off as a bit of a lunatic here.

    He did ask for it. It's one thing to be grumpy and disapproving, getting upset is the fault of the person responding if you abstain from getting personal. It's another to just fly off the rails and insult someone when you have no argument. He's proven he's not mature enough to be in the forums. Kind of a shame really, he joined in 2013 and kept out of my radar. He spent a year with me not thinking he's an idiot then ruins it in less than 3 posts. How do you do that?
