So they can fire Kathleen Kennedy now right?

Also I've been told by mods that this thread is aired-episodes SPOILER-FRIENDLY so prolly avoid it.

We wouldn't really see that aspect of Dawes till the next season TBH. We can only hope they were able to convince Jared Harris to come back and play Dawes again.

If you keep watching it, a lot more things will happen that will be elided from the books. There are only a couple scenes with the mormons that explain why they're building the largest spaceship ever built. There's only a couple scenes that explain why belter creole is a complete mishmash and...

I like the show and I defended it by telling you that it doesn't work for you after five episodes, you probably shouldn't bother with it. That's because the show does a GREAT job at least trying to stay consistent with the novels, where the belters represent dozens of cultures from areas spread...

I wouldn't bother if you're not sold by the fifth episode. Although the ideas and the surrounding narrative gets a lot more interesting, the characters and their motivations will just irritate you more and more.

That's a big part of the game. You don't want to skimp on the exploration stuff, in fact focusing on it and having multiple teams out is a very effective way to get resources/automatons/population early.

The other scenarios were great and expanded on the story. The Winterhome dlc scenarios were great too and survival mode absolutely made it more replayable. Haven't gone back to try the endless mode though.

It's being brigaded. Just brigade it back.

If you dislike Holden's actor now----and I'm no fan----it's just gonna get worse considering where the show is going. He COULD pull it off I think, but he needs to be more confident and mature. Mostly a LOT more mature.

Is there information on which parts the authors were responsible for?

I wish there had been more progress on a Stellaris mod that was based on the early expansion in the solar system. It replaced the galaxy with a solar system map and focused on a period a century or so before the Expanse. But I can't even find it now. There are tons of excellent Stellaris TC's...

Nah it was the mexican dude that was Holden's partner in Ceres. He ended up working in Murtry's team in the book and a lot of the orbit shenanigans involved him. They cut that stuff out a LOT, including his whole part in it. They just tightened it all up down to the shuttle attack.

When I hear "another TWD", I hear the complaint about FILLER episodes full of cunty people whining about their feelings. Expanse don't have enough episodes per season to do that.

LOL u got to the part with space zombies and rightly assumed the whole thing would be space zombies. Sadly, they're about as big a part of the show as the space mormons.

The show was actually better than the book for this season hah. They left out a lot of the space walking shenanigans and Miller’s old buddy from Ceres. The surface stuff was excellent but they should’ve found a way to include Fayez’ commentary on how the planet was creepy because it was...

Prolly cuz the first guy was real derpy.

Some work even harder than others. Like your copy editors.

Did you cook burritos before or after your shift mopping jizz?

Might be any causality-violating thing, which FTL technically would violate. The "blackout" effect of lost consciousness as the effect of their countermeasure fits in that sense---they'd create a "causal voidzone" instead of violating it.

I mean, sure, that's a possibility. But it would feel cheesy and a disservice to the character to be used that way. The sendoff at the end of that character's arc wasn't just for the role, but also as a sendoff to the "training wheels" humanity has been given with so far. There was a line in...

yeah

Ashford in the show is waaay better handled than in the books. I was anxious that Inaros would be a hard sell but they nailed him too.

Watanabe (Bebop guy) also made the official Blade Runner 2022 anime short for the movie that explains the Blackout and lays the groundwork for the Replicant rebellion.

Someone from the Fermi Natl Labs has been trolling this thread. It's got shkadov engines and galactic harvesting and everything. The paper is here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1806.05203.pdf

Yeah. I gotta dig up a sunbathing station at the surface I think. I got a pretty complex solar power system up there and I'd need to make room for it.

I've been on the same playthrough since the game released early in the summer... cycle 1400 or so now and I may have a shot at long-term survival with this one. In all prior builds I would run out of dirt early lategame and it would slow down rocket research and it happened to this game...

I got them running around with rainbows and balloons lol. Not sure how. I built the suntanning recreational area but I guess it's meant to be built on the surface since I don't have enough light even with 6 lights in 2 rows above it. Also I kinda stumbled on a potential fix for my dirt...

Huh... friend of mine got a fancy new oled 4k tv and it was weird that we couldn't find a twitch app for it. Was it because Amazon pulled the app from WebOS devices?

Postcount + 1 and nope, still wrong about everything.

I dunno what this is about but I can't recall @Screamfeeder being right about anything.

He means the very specific thing that Miller couldn't see at one point. That would be in this season.

To optimize cooling liquids with an AETN you need to split the incoming liquid into 4 pipes and let it come into the AETN volume in the smallest rate you can manage. That's because the liquid has waaaay more mass than the gas in the AETN volume (even if you max it out) and running 10kg streams...

yeah But if they're weaving in the next book and transitioning between books late in the season then we'll see a LOT of belter politics and would be introduced to the people in Naomi's past.

If you have any cold biomes you should have a decent chance of having an AETN in there. My current barren/large boulders/salt main base has 3 that I'm exploiting so far. If you don't have any, you need to look at digging down to the lava layer and building some hydrothermal energy setups soon...

The thing with oxyferns is that they're essentially net free oxidization if they're in the wild,. But once they cultivated in a planter or a farm tile, the dupe labor and the dirt for fertilizer fall behind once you get more than 5 population. In my verdante colony i dug out an island of dirt...

Ah ok. Well the salt biome has been extremely metal-rich for me purely by using rust to generate oxygen. Basically never runs out of iron. The chlorine can get cumbersome tho.

Weren't you in the salt biome?

If you don't want to fuck with slicksters to turn co2 into crude oil, you can use co2 to produce DIRT via scrubber->vaporization or scrubber->sieve->compost. Dirt gets pretty scarce late-game on some maps.
