So, uh. What do you mean when you say something matters? What are you construing "matters" to mean, or "is important"?

It's entirely possible for nothing to matter in any substantiative sense without interfering with individual's capability to act; they simply use a different heuristic for motivation. Softer forms of nihilism are along those lines; they deny the existence of objective (substantiative) value but not subjective value. Though the latter is largely (perhaps entirely) arbitrary and illusory, they find it sufficient for motivation on a personal level, while denying it metaphysical "weight" so to speak, or prescriptive power.

Latter bit ninja'd a bit, yeah.

Could probably get into some other things, but my first bit up there would frame any potentially meaningful response.

It'll clear itself up after a couple of days. No worries.

... Seriously? You're a clown god?

Do... do you duel?

Best word is, and I may be misspelling this as well as misremembering its meaning, mokkori.

It is also the worst word.

Isn't it pretty common in some eastern places? I'm fairly sure that's a thing in japan, anyway. Though I may be misremembering, I'unno. Don't think I am.

I've seen it happen. So yeah, probably.

E: Dude wasn't even senile, either! That's one of the directions old folks seem to go, they sometimes get a lot more comfortable about things like that. Too old to care what society thinks about their having themselves a grand ol' time.

Yeah, probably. From what I've seen so far (not terribly far in, but still) some of the stuff in it is hilariously overpowered, especially the unique ships you start out with access to. What does junkload of turrets plus missile rack things get you? Macross bloody missile massacre. From 4.5k away. It's hilarious to be blowing up tier three stations with second tier missiles (the blue ones) just by sitting back a bit and holding down the right mouse button for a while.

Mind you, I could do the same thing in vanilla, but not for much, much longer. The fair answer is to not use the mod ships, but still...

Prefer root beer. Which is convenient, because apparently it's generally the least acidic on your teeth.

Of course, I also prefer flat soda, so that might not be a coincidence.

Pst. Hey, hey. Hey, listen.

There's a quick and easy way to turn soda flat. Boil it. And then you can cool it off, or steep tea in it, or whatever. Microwaving works, too, just stick a toothpick or somethin' in it too to make sure it doesn't explode. Maybe a minute, maybe two. Check occasionally, but don't nuke it for very long.

Just in case you didn't already know. Now you do!

E: Oh, also. Straws. Straws make all soda least acidic on your teeth.
