More like shitty quality control heuristics and brute force reiteration development makes for buggy machinery, heh. Wetware's development cycle's only saving graces have been billions of years of operation and the ability to get away with untold trillions of failures. Literally all the corpses isn't something just about anything else could get away with, ha.

Hey, at least I don't fall over from light nudges like those DARPA robots.

Vertigo. Why is this a biological thing... seriously, what evolutionary advantage is this? Is it actually to cause those of us that get sinus infections to plummet to our doom because we didn't resist the illness?
Couldn't you say that it makes you go...

Down with the sickness?

Well yeah, I know why vertigo happens from a physiological standpoint. I'm just annoyed that it's a failure mode that has stuck around rather than getting selected out.  Vertigo does seem like the kind of thing where it's not the type of trait that would prevent procreation, so it persists... hence my musing that maybe if we got dizzy enough it would be a selection trait...

On the plus side, I feel stable this morning, so yay.

Back in my day we just took too much fucking Dramamine and hallucinated about large brass insects scuttling under our skin while we tried to sleep!

Kids these days.

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

I feel like this is less of a bodily response like fevers or a runny nose, and more "why do we still bleed profusely when dismembered?". It's something specifically going wrong because someone hurled a wrench into the quantum stimulus field, not an attempt by the body to fix anything.

Seems like people are picking on the Faroese again, with a renewed interest in the Grindadrap. Or, more accurately, a brutal and fictitious interpretation of the Grind that has really very little to do with reality.

As one might expect, the Sea Shepherd/PETA propaganda has incited such thoughtful responses as "My god I hope trump drops a nuke on these cretins", "Slaughter them [the Faroese]", and a detailed explanation of how the Faroese women and children should be skewered on meat hooks before trussing the men in barbed wire, packing them in bags of salt, and then drowning them in the blood of their families.


Also Adblock is being unresponsive... What's up with that?

Why do people not like Faroese people, I had not heard of this.

Wikipedia says they live on a island.
