Why at a games tournament? They should do this at an even that uses a lot of oil like Motorsport, marine etc… Games don’t use a lot of oil really lol

This group also targeted a Formula Electric Grand Prix, which seems counter productive…

Targeted people trying to do the right thing? Lol. I worry if they went to NASCAR or monster trucks they would be harmed by the fans you see there

One day it’s gonna come out that it was all a prank organised on 4chan, isn’t it?

It actually feels like something they’d do.

Not directly but… I genuinely worry - video games are basically software that turns electricity into heat. The entire market is growing year over year, requiring more power each generation. Do the math, it’s pretty easy.

Computing requires little oil, while we aren’t there yet its safe to assume it will be powered by green energy

your reply in no way addresses this fundamental point.
The entire market is growing year over year, requiring more power each generation. Do the math, it’s pretty easy.
ditto. even if we only worry about the heat generated, and not the power sourced (assuming your 100% renewable which is not realistic today) - we still have a problem.
- regulatorg ( @regulatorg@kbin.social ) 10•1 year ago
In this particular case, the protestors are complaining about oil, not power use or heat generation, so your fundamental point isn’t really valid
- vivadanang ( @vivadanang@lemm.ee ) English1•1 year ago
yes yes we only have a single problem to worry about, thank goodness.
oh wait, no… that’s not, actually, the case at all. not even closely.
thanks for your comment tho bellend, when the human race cooks itself this will be a great example of how we saw it coming, but didn’t give a fuck.

Your exactly like these stop oil protestors bringing up shit in the wrong place , idiot
- vivadanang ( @vivadanang@lemm.ee ) English1•1 year ago
yeah, keep sticking your head further into the ground. like there’s a right place to remind people we’re cooking the planet.
got kids? they’re going to despise you if so, you couldn’t even be bothered to give two shits about their future.

There are a lot of much more harmful things people could be doing with their spare time than playing vidya games.
Besides, it entirely depends on how renewable the electricity generation is as to the environmental impact.

Has it increased in size over the last few years? I always felt the venue at tobacco docks was kinda small.

Their tactics and the fact that a large portion of their funding comes from the granddaughter of an oil tycoon makes it hard to think their goal isn’t to purposely look like jackasses to diminish support for real environmentalism.
