What would video games be like if our technology were a thousand years more advanced?
flying cars are not practical and never will be, unless the laws of physics change
Better technology wouldn't mean better games, just more cut corners to reduce development costs and maximize profits.

How do you slow down? Having thrusters for every direction is impractical. The only reason they're used in those spaceflight chairs is because that's the only option.
Ping would be terrible becuz mars colonies and shit.

Science and technology aren't a linear smooth sailing curve. You can't be "a thousand years more advanced" because previous developments don't guarantee following ones. For all we know 1000 years from now we might not be much more advanced than now, assuming our civilization manages to survive that long.

>If Christianity never existed.
Fucking say religion, if Christianity never existed than Islam would rule over europe and we would be in a worse place than we are now.
If Christianity never existed it's arguable that the knowledge amassed in Europe until the fall of the Roman empire would have been lost utterly to barbarians.
Monks were hoarding scraps of the glorious past like the Adeptus Mechanicus in 40k. There was stagnation later sure, but it would have been better than losing utterly everything.
>>332441010

There is so much wrong with your line of thinking
I don't have the numbers, but muslims are hardly a minority religion, and I would bet before Europe got it's shit together muslims out numbered Christians a shit load, considering the fact that you had/have some of the most densely populated area's under muslim control
>Becoming the majority religion chills you out
Christianity "chilled out" because of the Renaissance, and also because the bible allows for a lot more nuance than the Koran, "leave on to ceaser what is ceasers and leave on to god what is god" can be read as "Secular states are cool bro, don't be all fuzzled but this religion shiizzz"
Islam is a mercenary religion, and spread by the sword. Christians don't have a clean record either but Jesus wasn't a fucking warlordor pedophile.

Islam needs to be reformed, yes. but I don't think it would have ever got there without secular societies breathing down it's neck to do so.
Christianity and Islam are just fundamentally different religions. Islam is spread by sword mercenary religion, like I said before Jesus wasn't a warlord, Muhammad was, Jesus wasn't a pedophile, Muhammad was. You read the quran it's one hell of an efficient way to run an autocracy, Islam is credited with being one of the few religions that is ok with other religions living under it's rule. Which is half true, you were shamed and taxed more for being any other religion (this is actually being more than fair, actually you were killed if you followed a non-monolithic religion), and when I say shamed I mean there is a verse that straight up says muslims will be allowed to ride horses where non-believers can only ride donkeys.

Plus they think at the end of the world jesus is gonna appear and go "I was lying islam is great lol now all christians go to hell"

This doesn't take into consideration that technology can be lost, especially during the early period where there is a underdevelop transportation with low carry capacity for trade and communication between different nation, lack of cooperation between different civilization, which mean that you can have an entire civilization destroy due to diseas or warfare, and all of those knowledge will be lost.
>>332443123
Academics in the Islamic world was funded and patronized by a competitive aristocracy with a Hellenized high culture, freedom of movement, and a monetary and bureaucratic dominated lifestyle. When economic prospects dried up, travel became more dangerous, and livelihoods became dominated by owning land parceled out by tribes, the tradition dried up.
Basically the Middle East adopted the last 1/3 of the Roman world and maintained a lot of its inherent glories while bringing in some new influences from Persia and India, but over time devolved into the Feudal mess that Western Europe had started with but eventually dug their way out of to start emulating the Roman glory they felt they had lost in the meanwhile.

There's a few theories that say "maybe", it's hardly fact that they do anything at all.
Considering that the majority of early reproduction was decided by straight up rape, and some time later after that it was decided by arranged marriages, it's horribly unlikely that pheromones even exist.

That was generally even earlier than arranged marriage. It's also widely known that in-bred genes will still be recessive to "foreign" dominant genes. In short, in-breeding generally doesn't have a lasting impact unless it's a completely isolated community.
