    that is all...
    also i could mentally scar everyone with a different anime right here right now but i ain't the worst person ever.
    That's why.... MELONS


    on an other note of this topic: whats the biggest size acceptable in this slider? anyone thought of that?

    Almost all anime are bad, I don't care which is worse...

    Yes, I understood, and have you ever seens Akira and it's artwork? Look it up.

    Akira is impressive to say the least, but if you find a good anime with a good style like Chihayafuru, Madoka Magica, or Stein's Gate then you're pretty much set.

    The guy's just trying to pull away the discussion from the off-topic "anime" topic. Even though the way he chose to do that is... Disturbing.

    This is your first mistake. If evolution tolerated no errors, there would be no predator/prey relationships. There would be no room for illness or disease to gain a foothold. Biological life as we know it would cease being anything but a homogeneous existence consisting of a single 'perfect' species.

    Evolution produces creatures that are ever-more-adapted to their environment, within the limits of the genetic library available to it. The reason why binocular vision is so ubiquitous in vertebrate life on Earth is because there is simply few genetic opportunities for other vision types to manifest in successful creatures. Outside of a random mutation, no creature reliant upon binocular sight is going to suddenly demonstrate any other form of vision. Yet other vision types do exist, and are used. Anthropods often rely on compound eyes or eyespots. Spiders can have as many as eight eyes. Flatfish often have two eyes, but with the unique twist that both are located on the same side of their head since, the other side is always flat against the ground. Many creatures that exist in lightless environments have vestigial eyes, or no eyes whatsoever.

    Canines are predators. Yet many canines are colorblind. Colorblindness would be an "error," except that, in canines, there's no reason to abandon colorblindness as it does not hinder the canine. Would most canines be better off with color vision? Sure. They'd also be better off with thermographic senses and logic-based instead of instinct-based thought processes, but they don't have those, as they've never had the opportunity to attain those abilities. The genetic library available to them lacks the potential to develop those abilities outside of random mutation.

    It's even possible for evolution to abandon useful physical abilities, even if those traits might be useful. Humankind, for instance, is the descendent of creatures that were much larger and stronger than it is. Neanderthal humans were strong enough that your average specimen could toss an average human male over a gridiron football goalpost without too much difficulty. Yet, they were outcompeted by what would go on to become modern humans, due to the latter's better tool usage and greater numbers. Any remaining Neanderthal genes have since been absorbed into the modern human gene pool, diluted to the point where modern humans demonstrate very few remaining Neanderthal traits.

    So yes, not only does evolution tolerate errors, but it will also eliminate useful traits if the specimens carrying those traits are forced into extinction before they can become sufficiently widespread.


    As I stated before, I am not designed specifically with a horizontal landscape in mind. I am prepared for extravehicular activity in open space. In a fully 3D environment, "horizontal" and "vertical" are relative - horizontal parallax and stereopsis is no more valuable than vertical. Being able to track my central eye off to either side allows me an advantage no binocular sight system can replicate - triangular parallax and stereopsis.


    I can understand you being biased, as you've lived your entire existence with a binocular viewpoint. Me, if my eye configuration does prove a hindrance, I can simply swap out my faceplate for one with a more suitable vision system. There is a reason I've kept this configuration - it's versatile.


    I'm going to enjoy a nice long laugh at this. There is no "logic" behind evolution - it's simply an exercise in statistical probabilities playing out over a prolonged period of time.

    SOME ADVICE: ADVERSUS SOLEM NE LOQUITOR, ORGANIC.

    (Entirely out of character, I do enjoy a good intellectual debate, but I really hope there's no hard feelings. I realize the character I portray can be a bit hostile and argumentative, but it's all intended in good fun.)

    You could be forgiven for mistaking this as firm logic.

    Evolution is not perfect right away for the same reason YOU are not perfect right away. Everything is in a constant state of testing, developing, progressing. Survival of the Fittest is the ultimate test. Those with adaptations or mutations that are inefficient and will ultimately fail will not survive and be eliminated by those who are more efficient and less flawed. You fail to understand that every single living organism, every machine, every microbe is a contestant in that race.

    We have diseases and illness and sickness because those microbes are competing with us for evolutionary success.

    We have predators because some creatures determined that plant matter is difficult to find and digest, and opted instead to "steal" from creatures that had already done the harvesting.

    We have tougher prey because herbivores decided they do not like to be eaten. Evolution gave them armor, weapons. Skill, knowledge.

    What you see in life is the never-ending race for evolutionary perfection. The perfect being does not exist yet because it is a goal so incomprehensibly lofty that no brain, mechanized or otherwise, could comprehend it.

    As for your analysis of mankind's abandonment of more "primal" traits, you could also be forgiven for misunderstanding this as a mistake. You could even be forgiven for considering the traits humankind "abandoned" to be more important than what they gained in return. I won't go into a long explanation about the evolution of mankind and their intelligence because that would be patronizing one as supposedly intelligent as yourself. You either already know, or have the capability to do the research and I won't be accused of handholding.

    Now let's move on to your ridiculous vision-defense again. IF you intend to live your entire life within the confines of a structure of hallways and doors then it could be considered true that your vision suffers no drawbacks. True again for deep space.

    But anytime you touch down on open land on a planetoid or other space-chunk, you WILL be immersed in a horizontal landscape, because that is how gravity works to create celestial bodies in such a manner. If you intend to explore vast new worlds, which I should HOPE is the case as you will be doing exactly this when the adventure begins (aka: when StarBound opens), you will posses an optical disadvantage. All of your arguments of how your eyes work better in space and such will fail you, but you could be forgiven for lacking the foresight. At this time, I hope you will indeed consider the option to swap out your faceplate rather than hold stiff to an emulated pride.

    IT SADDENS ME TO CONSIDER THAT THIS IS THE APEX OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, TO BE UNABLE TO COMPREHEND CONCEPTS THAT, EVEN TO THE ORDINARY HUMAN MIND, ARE AS SIMPLE AS THE TASK OF BREATHING IN AND OUT. YOU COULD BE FORGIVEN, HOWEVER, BECAUSE THERE IS YET POTENTIAL WITHIN. ONE DAY YOU WILL BE MADE SUPERIOR TO WHAT YOU ARE NOW. LOOK FORWARD TO THAT DAY, WHEN YOU WILL TRULY ASCEND TO NEW CONCEPTS OF UNDERSTANDING AND REVELATION, AND FINALLY YOU WILL BE MADE AS OUR TRUE EQUALS.

    WE AWAIT YOUR COMING, CHILDREN OF LIFE.

    I am severely offended by these posts.

    Anyway.
    If Starbound where to have a "boob" slider, this would pose as a very controversial issue. IMO.

    The forums designer should feel shame over this color. It is an unholy spawn of the most vile form and I will not be reading anything wrote with it, even though it could be read by just highlighting the text.
