    Yeah, the aliens knowing enough about human genetics and psychology that this plan worked is almost as implausible as the FTL comms needed for the hive mind to work. Maybe less so on the signal frequency and encoding - there's nothing to say this was the only broadcast they were doing - they...

    True, if they wanted people to know what's going on, they should have made a powerpoint presentation explaining it in 6th grade language and shown it to Carol, so the audience got to see it.

    Uh, they deliberately recreated the nucleotide sequence the aliens broadcast to them and injected rats with it to see what it did ? I though that was pretty clear from the first episode ?

    Pluribus

    As a response to : "So, you are vegetarian ?" "That would be our preference." you seem to have gone off the deep end, kept diving, found the ocean floor and started digging. "We can't purposely end life" is a lot different in the context of 'Can you go kill something for me to eat'. The...

    Is there any mobile games out there that aren't just money grabs?

    I finished caves of lore recently - nice oldschool rpg with controls that work well with mobile. Pay up front, no mtx of any type.

    The Expanse: Osiris Reborn by Owlcat Games

    Uh, TV show only guy I guess ? It depends when the game is set, but post Laconia has as much realistic grounding as Halo or Mass Effect. I am not sure where you're going with it in any case - it's pretty close to 100% certain that whatever storyline the game devs come up with won't be as good...

    It wasn't 30 seconds though - the initial takeover lasted long enough for Carol to panic, steal a truck, load wife into the truck, drive her to hospital and then explore emergency room. Seems more like 20-30 min. Even the scene we saw on the show was more than 10 minutes. For Helen - there's no...

    Ep3 is some quality comedy: "I'm very independent'. looool.

    Necesse -solo dev indie Terraria style settlement survival builder

    Oh cool, the island stuff was the worst part about this otherwise pretty fun game. Might have to give it another fresh run.

    What did you just read?

    Huh, I've read all of those. That's a first for a list of anything I think. I don't remember many of them wow'ing me though, although there weren't any I hated either - that being said the list skews way older so there was considerably less competition when many of them were released...

    I am pretty sure that is the least effective human resistance movement in any media ever ;p

    IT: Welcome to Derry

    They certainly started this series with a bang. Unlike other shows, you certainly can't complain about them taking a long time to get to the point.

    Ball x pit

    The upgrades come fast enough in normal game that it is never particularly difficult - unless you focus only on one map by the time you get up to fast+6 and higher you 'outgear' them by a lot - NG+ scales very quickly though.

    Ball x pit

    It is, but black hole sun is a fusion of black hole and sun, which is a *very* different beast. Give it a try ;p

    Ball x pit

    Speaking of overpowered fusions - give Black Hole Sun a try - I am assuming that's an intentional reference ;p ( Fire + Light -> Sun + Dark -> Blackhole ) Overgrowth + any AOE is also pretty absurd, I am reasonably sure there's a bug in there somewhere in the calculations. Nosferatu + any...
