    The Long Walk (2025)

    It’s a dystopian future. I forget the details, but basically a brutal regime controls the US

    The Long Walk (2025)

    History is all you needed to get the idea - WW2 had numerous “death marches”, he just combined that idea with modern America and added the “game show” aspect

    The Astronomy Thread

    For it to be a gas giant, it is quite possible it formed closer than it is now and something knocked it into a further orbit. The early solar system was a lot more chaotic and full. For example, Earth is basically two planets that got mashed together billions of years ago. Uranus (uh huh huh...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Apollo was canceled because 1) it was extremely expensive 2) We won the race 3) the public lost interest. Most stations didn't even bother to broadcast the final lunar mission live. Nixon basically doomed human manned flights to LEO for the next 30 years when he decided to go all in on the...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Starship is still a questionmark despite some successes and it feels like a lot of NASA's ambitious lunar plans really rely on that working out since a) its hypothetical cargo capacity vs. launch cost makes a lunar habitat a much more economical endeavor b) Starship (or a version of it) is...

    The Astronomy Thread

    SLS whatever, I don't think many people cared about that bloated project I'm most concerned with the massive cuts to space science - that covers everything from telescopes to unmanned probes. That means the exoplanet specific telescope they have planned might get cut, or Dragonfly might get...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    ya, if you romance her you can choose to fight demons in hell together. That one is cool

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Yes. If you let her become the mindflayer to use the stones and don’t betray her to get the evil ending, then she shows up at the party Withers throws for you. To survive she basically preforms euthanasia on terminally sick people and eats their brains as payments, but she admits that it is...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    In the game, Omelum you meet in the underdark seems like a decent guy, although we don’t know how long they have been a mindflayer. He just wants to do researcher stuff and in act 3 if he is in the underwater prison, he asks you focus on saving the Duke instead of saving itself Karlach if you...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    The Emperor sex option scene is interesting because if you pick certain dialogue options, he all but admits he is manipulating and using you to his own ends

    Thunderbolts* (2025)

    Sentry was just toying with them and roughing them up slightly, not trying to kill them or seriously harm them. It's pretty clear he wasn't seriously fighting when JLD tries to tell Sentry to finish them and Sentry is basically like "why? they're zero threat"

    Project Zomboid

    I play on a B41 vanilla server occasionally, although not much lately. I tried a b42 build and decided to wait until they finish it - they really need to make crafting less of a pain in the ass. You need a ton of tools to even start and they clog up the loot pool, which makes it harder to find...

    7 Days to Die

    I mean if he doesn't find that aspect enjoyable, then might as well. Pretty easy to cheese bloodmoons anyways - if you're in a city biome, just find a large building and destroy the stairs. The building under construction is probably the easiest since there are limited stairs to access the top...

    Arc Raiders

    Ya, if you use low caliber ammo some of the bots are too armored and wont die (Ticks you can still kill easy and the flying guys if you shoot the rotors). But a lot of the silenced weapons use that ammo, so it is a tradeoff. My first matches I mostly did naked rat runs just to try to get loot...

    New extraction 3rd person shooter - in beta open test until tomorrow Seems pretty solid so far - sound design is extremely good

    I think Dr. K's ultimate point was probably more to the effect that "yes, but..." is more of a sign that the guy is unwilling to accept any criticism.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Kind of crazy that he was injecting himself with snake venom to give himself more immunity and it turns out the antibodies he developed may be able to help thousands of people survive snakebites in the future https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr5d0l7el36o

    7 Days to Die

    The devs wanted tower defense not helms deep In a really early version of the game my base was surrounded by 100 foot deep pit with spikes and was pretty much immune to hordes

    Predator: Badlands

    We know it is a young Predator from what has been revealed from the script. So long as the design is just him and the older Predators look normal to how we expect them, I don't see the big deal. Species changing appearance as they age is a normal thing. Younger animals (humans included)...

    Shōgun

    It wasn’t a real fight with Mariko - they were given standing orders not to harm her. Mariko knew she wasn’t going to win, but she had to put a good enough effort for their plan to work. Mariko dying there turns her friend against the other lords. The ninja plot wasn’t to kill Mariko (there...

    Shōgun

    Shogun (novel) was based on historical events and the show already took some liberty with the book that IMO improved things over the book at parts, so I'm not too skeptical. They still have a lot of historical frame work to work with and as long as the writers can maintain good quality, I don't...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Merging abilities is probably better than outright deleting. Kind of like how long ago warlocks had a lot more debuff curses and Blizzard eventually just rolled a bunch of them under combined curses.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    They're trying to cater to two different audiences The sweaty tryhards will just do what they are doing with 50 keybinds The super casual people who don't know wtf they are doing so they give them an "I win" button that does a suboptimal DPS rotation but still probably better than whatever they...

    Shōgun

    10 years afterwards, using history as a guide, sets it approximately close to the time where there was a rebellion to challenge the Tokugawa Clan's rule and also kind of close to around the time the Tokugawa banned the practicing of Christianity and kicked out all the missionaries. That makes...

    Dune Awakening

    You can get an approximate size based on the doors -submission D looks huge. Not sure how many claim blocks that is, but has to be at least 20ish

    Dune Awakening

    You can place claim blocks near each other with guild members, so in theory you can make massive guild bases

    Predator: Badlands

    I saw a video from a Fan of the AVP comics and they think this will end up being a origin story for Broken Tusk and a leadin to the original AVP storyline in an AVP film reboot. So this might be scrawny young Broken Tusk then he will be jacked adult Broken Tusk in an AVP reboot Not sure if the...

    Dune Awakening

    Found some videos that went into more depth on base building. You start with 1 land claim block but can get up to 3 eventually. Basic blocks are tax free. Advanced(larger) claim blocks cost tax to maintain. All bases need a generator keep shields up. No shields = base decay. Fully fueled...

    Dune Awakening

    It was ultra buggy at launch, which sort of killed any long term success it may have had. Early 2000s were an interesting mix of MMO experiments - while a lot failed, many had really unique concepts that future games have tried to copy. And also a lot of devs seem to be unaware these games...

    Dune Awakening

    Keeping PVP initially in deep desert and not day 1 is fine - The Rust/Ark dipshits fucking your base up while you sleep/work is ass design and so is mandatory forced PVP as a default. Once Human has Chinese devs and you can tell they thought their playerbase would be Rust/Ark PVP focused, but...

    Dune Awakening

    I learned one thing watching streamers - taking a sharp turn on your bike is a sure fire way to lose all momentum and become worm food Game seems to have promise - repairing vehicles actually has some complexity to it, which is neat. I could see people become the clan mechanic as a job
