  • Eh, it’s honestly safer than you’d think. The size of the reactor plays a huge role in safety.

    A reactor sized for a container ship would be literally incapable of melting down, because there just isn’t enough fuel to get to those temperatures. You could then limit the ship’s speed, and over build the reactor a bit, so that the reactor is never truly stressed during normal operation.

    Then for refueling, you just remove the entire reactor and replace it with a new, fully fueled one every 10 years or so.

    That’s where you want your controls.

    Other than that, yeah it would be safer than oil. A crash just means your reactor casing gets wet.

    The main worry is someone cutting into the reactor to take out the spicy rocks… and there are easier ways to get spicy rocks.




  • The mycelium is the main body of the fungus, yes, and it’s the entirety of the circle. The mushrooms on the edges are indeed the fruit.

    And it’s every type of mushroom that does this… sort of. Any mushroom that grows along the ground at least. There are plenty of varieties that grow on trees and throughout a leaf pile or such.




  • If someone poured a shitload of money into it, and had actual humans on quality control and some writing… You could generate a setting with a bunch of NPCs who have generated back stories and connections and shit.

    And it would still come out as some of the blandest of bland as for as game went. But hey, a bad game is better than no game right?



  • Lenin betrayed the revolution. You mention the banning of the political parties. While it’s true that they “took up arms against Sovnarkom”, you’re leaving out the part where Lenin used Sovnarkom to coup the newly elected government because his party didn’t win.

    Again, Lenin was flat out wrong. But I don’t think he ever actually cared about Russia ever reaching the true Marxist communist utopia. Lenin cared about power first and foremost.

    He built up that dictatorship, and then handed it over to a monster.


  • Tried a bunch, but tried wrong.

    The Lenin model of communism is inherently flawed for one simple reason. An Authoritarian Communism is an Impossibility. It cannot exist by pure definition.

    The true ideal communism is a stateless utopia.

    So yeah, the Lenin model is flawed to the point of uselessness. Or worse because any authoritarian government is going to kill its own citizens, while also being a low grade threat to neighboring countries.

    No. The only path to true communism is via democracy. And there are countries that are moving in that direction.
