        That game is a bit too hardcore for me. I’ve had it since very early on. I love everything that it has become. Except that it’s fucking hard.

    There’s a whole video game series on why this is a terrible idea. (Horizon Zero Dawn)

    iirc this was just an engine that could run on most combustible hydrocarbons, a small gas turbine and some elaborate digestion setup I seem to remember, and the press really stretched a badly worded explanation of how it worked into ‘it eats corpses’. Which is fair, humans are mostly made from tasty biomass, but still.

    edit: here’s a couple sources about it, it sounds like it does indeed run on vegetable biomass.

        I had some, before I moved.

        Let me just say this, what came easy to young me in boy scouts… well, I’m just glad if I hit a safe area in the general direction I’m aiming.

        The other issues is as a boy I shot off the right of the riser on a longbow, and this was an off the left takedown (recurve) bow - still the amount I sucked surprised me a little, lol.

        So hopefully you have time to practice.

        In general yes, but… that game is now 8 years old, has a successor AND a remaster. So… I don’t really think this is a spoiler anymore at this point.

    If you think about it, any diesel powered vehicle is a robot that eats organisms for fuel.

      And more than likely most of us here are using thinking stones powered by electricity created by very large machines far away eating organisms for fuel. Not to mention heating, but not everyone lives where there’s only two seasons; winter and July. (Actually I pay extra to have a 100% renewables contract I think but idk how well those work.)

        95% of Finland’s energy is already carbon neutral.

          “Carbon-neutral” isn’t synonymous with coming from renewables.

          In 2023, the electricity sold to [my energy company] customers was distributed by energy source as follows: 25% renewable energy sources, 28% fossil energy sources and peat, 47% nuclear power.

          But my point was rather a rhetorical one on a global level

            Yes, but in this case it means renewables + nuclear combined.
