Introducing The Doomba

Introducing The Doomba
Introducing The Doomba

The idea of combining an anti-tank mine with a robot vacuum is hilarious. It’s also a bit terrifying. And… it’s probably either already out there in our military’s arsenal or in development. After all, iRobot, the makers of the Roomba, pretty much got their start designing and producing robots for the US military.

Think about it. Either RC or, given that shape recognition software is quite mature technology, autonomous Doombas that can be set in place to await enemy vehicles could easily be done – assuming they haven’t already quietly been so. And then there’s the obvious antipersonnel variant that would mount a flip-up M18A1 Claymore mine or a set of 6 Miniature Grenade Launchers (MGL) such are used with the M7 Spider networked anti-personnel munitions system.

I can hear it now, “Alexa, I’d like to destroy that ZTZ-99A now.”

The Science-Religion Cycle

The Science-Religion Cycle

While we’ve no evidence that this has happened to Man before – the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1–9) is lore, not evidence – the Science-Religion Cycle both makes sense and is something of a favorite with both futurists and science-fiction writers. Frankly, I find it quite plausible.

Mematic Changes – They Happen

Hehehe – Mematic changes – they happen, whether you want them to or not. 😉 And no; NFTs aren’t going to help you. The Internet can and will twist, suborn, and corrupt your memes. Indeed, that’s Rule 13, and arguing against it runs afoul of Rule 15.

Hehe. I guess we could call this the Analog Revolution. 😆 I do wonder though if this joke isn’t oddly prophetic.

Gaming Design

Gaming Design
Gaming Design

That, sadly, describes both a large number of games when they’re 1st brought to market these days and a lot people who gladly fork over a great deal of money to be “the first” to play still unfinished and often broken content.

Ah well, from a business perspective, gaming design is at least as important as game design. 😉
