    The Astronomy Thread

    I don't get how a defense contractor wasn't sharp on using metric.

    Health Problems

    I'm with Tred. I don't enjoy contacts. I've got a thing about needles too though, so the discomfort could be 99% psychological.

    The Flash

    That last episode was a bit meh. There is another one I hope. I still think the high point for this show was the tidal wave/time travel episode. It was hardcore and then the next few episodes were a so/so return to normal.

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    I've played with plenty of pitbulls and their closer relatives. They're fine. They're like every other fucking dog. The problem is owners. It's like banning only black guns. They're scarier looking, but most other guns will kill you just as easily in the right hands.

    Ex Machina

    I liked it. Some good, some bad, but the behavior of the characters seemed plausible.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Jon will get rezzed. There is too much set-up on that for it to go a different way. Whether or not he'll remember he's Jon or if others will recognize him as Jon is a different story. He still has his wolf, and magic Mel and Bran are both nearby. There isn't much to do with the story if he...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The Theon<->Sansa<->Ramsay stuff was painful to sit through. The Ramsay/Miranda and Ramsay/Roose stuff was fine though. I get that he's supposed to be a creepy weirdo, but my eyes glaze over when Ramsay is being weird.

    EQ Never

    I think he's just referring to how hardcore it was, and how they had to backpedal on that a lot. Not many people are willing to put up with Wildstar's version of hard, or anyone else's. These are massively multiplayer games, and some people want them designed to filter out a massive amount of...

    What's the worst movie you've seen at the theatre?

    Burn After Reading. I almost enjoyed it, but the worst part was I was the only one who laughed at ANYTHING the entire time. Everytime I did and the theater was silent I was like, "What is wrong with you people?" It's not like it's a great film, but it has a few moments and I guess they amused...

    EQ Never

    I think procedural content and player customization of content is going to be a focus point for the future of the industry, but generating everything procedurally in a plausible way is a challenge that hasn't been overcome. I don't expect Daybreak to manage it either, but it's nice seeing them...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    The only thing I can relate to there is the ("I know I need to do better, I'm going to work on that" with zero change). I've known a few people where I've been in that situation with them. They didn't ever change. One of them is a family member I no longer want to speak to. That's a...

    John Wick (2014)

    I liked Dredd more than Wick. I think it had a bit more broad appeal with the hot sidekick and the dystopian setting.

    I'm interested, but it sounds like you'd be putting yourself in a legal danger zone.

    EVE Online

    Tengu is still strong, but I don't know when you quit. They're not gods anymore, or rather, they're a slightly lower strength god. They've become increasingly popular in fleet doctrine as well as all that PvE stuff, so they've gotten some balance passes to try and give other ships an...

    EVE Online

    You're just trying to downplay the genius of the Imperium's lightning takeover. So complete was this success that the old regime defected to the new.

    Avengers: Age of Ultron

    That moment really was perfect, and referencing the hammer stuff a few times throughout the film was a solid build-up to that moment.

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    The sexual violence is thankfully missing? It's a post-apocalyptic society. How would gender equality be plausible and how is not showing it if it is likely, good art? So since the 80s we've grown increasingly capable of lying to ourselves about the nature of humanity. Fuck that guy.

    Powers

    I enjoyed this show. So much so that I madeanother threadlike a dumbass. Season 2 is already signed up. Season 1 is complete. After finishing the show I went and read the comic, which is much better, but it has way more time to get into the details. It's a lot weirder and more oddball than...

    Also the CFC was conquered in a blitzkrieg maneuver by the Imperium, represented by that sexy grenade eagle RhoA is sporting.

    Why is there no thread for this? Are y'all tarded? Am I? The trailer is ~meh, but episode 1 is free on youtube and you can easily score the rest without PSN Plus (who has that?). Of course I generally don't access media through its original platform, so its provenance is no issue...

    The future, what will it hold for us?

    Robots Don't get me wrong, I want a real girl. I think the sexbots will actually help people realize the value of their relationship because you can be rather effortlessly replaced with a machine. Sexual blackmail will hopefully be a little less significant as a domestic issue, and you'll...

    The future, what will it hold for us?

    So they'll play hard to get. It's not like they'll stop at sexual skills. Bots will do the girlfriend experience. They'll be interesting to talk to. People will form emotional attachments to them. The autonomous fleshlight will only be the first step.

    FF confirmed, will declare jihad if unlimited global FF isn't in at launch, as they have clearly 100% promised this. srsly tho, WTB time machine so I can just skip the hope and witness the tragedy of release

    The future, what will it hold for us?

    Meh, most places in the world don't have the consumption footprint of the US. I don't think resource depletion is going to be a big issue. We'll have to continue making big adjustments here at home, but a lot of less developed societies will slip into the renewable envelope much more easily...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Doesn't that take MQ2/IS Boxer? Can't imagine how you send commands to other clients without them. Just operating everyone from one client is really the only way to make it slightly OK, but on live all classes have 60+ abilities and on p99 it's forbidden.

    The future, what will it hold for us?

    All human jobs will migrate to luxury products. Literally, things made by humans will be a luxury by default. Politics & Entertainment(Art) is the last thing we'll be able to hold onto, and they'll still be unrecognizably hybridized by automation. I think we're actually going to get a LOT...

    Black and Handler have some venn diagram overlap with stewart's appeal, but no. I hadn't considered Norm.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Yea, multi-boxing isn't fun to me. The alt tabbing and having to rig your hotbars/macros to similar lines for muscle memory just annoys me. Maybe if I had IS Boxer it'd be less gay.

    Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    Man I was hoping to get him on that Uruguay bit, but then it turned out that was the joke. Nicely done John Oliver's writing team. Fuckin map rolls up and I'm like, "but that's...not...". Damn him. Foiled again.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    I've actually had a lot of positive feelings about recent EQ expansions, but it is a very different game from old school EQ. They're not perfect, but the content has been interesting. I've been more irked at ability bloat, class balance, encounter balance, etc. than style or depth. I'd love...

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    In most U.S. states both state and federal congressional districts are determined by state legislature, making each state senator and congressman influential in affecting federal representation. Many members of both federal and state legislature once held a lower office.

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    Yea, that's why I began with "on what level?" We have plenty of very low level non-partisan (so they say) representatives around here. It should be possible to push that up a few notches locally.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    Yea, I'm not really happy with mercs either, but it would take a lot to get away from them, and so very many of the loyal customers of EQ seem to prefer soloing with their OP pets. All these people that claim they dislike WoW because it lacks community, and then they 3box+3mercs in EQ all day...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    I have no idea if improving the bronze/silver power level would actually translate to more groupmates, but having more randoms that can really contribute was a big desire for me last time I was active right before TDS.
