Enclave and Vault Tec were in cahoots from what I recall from the games. The Enclave originally wanted to live off-planet and the vaults were testbeds for that

First episode was great - liked the vault. The kid who played the daughter in the intro was a pretty good actor - the “is it your thumb or mine?” delivery was heartbreaking Seems to capture the spirit of the game well Not sure why the usual suspects on the forum are crying about Lucy - she...

Fuck you aren’t kidding -like 200 common 150 rare 15 super rare per upgrade on lots of these The extra bomb and 25% extra flame damage ones are pretty nice sounding though

Even if you go with your story, there is a big difference between him killing his wife or handmaiden vs. killing some ranking individual in his lord's army.

Did you ignore the part where he WANTED to kill John and asked permission? He is still rules based. John was raised in rank significantly - if Buntaro just flat out murdered John without permission from his Lord, then his own life would be forfeit and he would be dishonored. Buntaro sought...

Sounds like it is true to the games then lol

Reviews of the movie seem to suggest the premise is heavily divorced from political reality for the most part. CA and TX banding together is more of a “what happens if 2 of the biggest economic powerhouses of the country decide to fuck off from the union?”

Asshai, the jungles full of monsters and man eating plants, the China-like nation that has a massive wall to defend vs monsters. Even some of the islands - like the island Mirrisandi (Dany’s handmaiden) came from. Apparently people not from the island die from some unknown source if they stay...

9pm EST is when the show is available

The Southern Lands are shit straight out of Lovecraft - they would need a massive budget to do the idea justice

The nano wire method meant that even if the info was cut by the wire, the cut would be clean enough to restore the hardware. They wanted to avoid explosives or people smashing the stuff with a hammer

They literally do that IRL lol

My understanding is the series is being received well in Japan. The book Shogun and the series are inspired/based on true events, so people well versed with the actual history during that period might find some of the creative liberties. But then again, someone familiar with the actual history...

Drake Equation: the idealistic view of the universe Fermi Paradox: the pessimist view of the universe Fermi Paradox - great filter: pessimists meets desire for rules and order, the idea only the “worthy” can progress past the filters Fermi Paradox - dark forest: pessimists meets prepper...

Damn, that was great. Can’t wait for the final 2 I also lol’d when the priest found out where he could build his church

Whenever Fallout 5 comes out, the show still might not impact them that much if they don't set it on the west coast. They could reference things, but if Fallout 5 happens in New Orleans or Miami or New York or Chicago or whatever, then stuff in Cali doesn't mean too much beyond little plot points

you're thinking about FTL communication - basically the idea that if you were able to quantum entangled particles. The show uses this concept for the aliens and how they can communicate/observe Earth. However, I've seen it questioned whether or not that is actually possible (FTL communication...

It was. All my photos turned out like trash, can't even tell it is total. In person seeing it was amazing and 100% worth it, even with the traffic from hell on the way home lol

Was perfectly clear where I am viewing, then some asshole clouds moved in. They are high altitude ones, so hopefully it doesn’t obscure too much

All set for totality - just need to waste a few hours. Should get about 2.5 minutes. Not very crowded at the moment so was easy to get some parking near some shops/restaurants. I was afraid it would be a shitshow early on, thank goodness plebs don’t care about eclipses lol

You'd burn out the cellphone camera doing that unless you had a special filter on it

It's mostly a right wing insurrectionist echo chamber

I wonder if the 3rd faction will show up on the 11th when they drop the next battlepass

Apparently the only way to avoid ads upon joining is the streamer has to run a specific amount of ads every hour. But ya, most people aren't going to wait through 40-60 seconds of ads to figure out if the stream is going to be good or not: they'll just look elsewhere

I'm still torn on where i am going to view the eclipse My two main choices are: 1) Convenient spot that has less than 2 minutes of totality 2) Less convenient area that might not get tons of people since there are more built up options kind of close, but it doesnt have anywhere good to...

Reading that, it's a matter of thousands of feet. So people on the razor's edge of totality.

The fact they are actually picking up the Progenitor plotline from TNG that never went anywhere gets big points from me. That always pissed me off when that TNG episode drops probably the biggest scientific discovery in history and it promptly gets ignored for the rest of the show and the other...

This is one of those games where the higher difficulties end up being more fun just because of the chaos that happens. I would say suicide mission (level 7) is probably the highest sweetspot for chaos vs. frustration...after that, you're in masochist land lol

More or less under relativity. Using Einstein, it basically calculates that any mass accelerated to light speed would obtain infinite mass and require infinity energy, functionally making it impossible to achieve. In theory you would only be able to achieve close to light speed, so like 99.9%...

It depends on the map and difficulty I think. Like the stalkers, they spawn from specific POI locations that you can destroy and stops them from spawning. The bug one looks like a bunch of smaller spore spreaders clumped up and the robot one looks like a really tall tower

You do realize that even if it ends up being wrong or not 100% accurate, research is needed in that to conclude that and can sometimes uncover avenues of exploration or inquiry? A lot of scientific discoveries result from trying to evidence one thing and inadvertently evidencing something else

I’m a sucker for crossbow weapons in shooters, so gonna be unlocking that Hopefully the explosion isn’t some weak shit that takes 15 rounds to kill a charger

Ya, I just get tired of the mode. Last time I played CSGO, I would just go knife only in every match lol

Ya, I suck at normal CS. Reaction time requirements for hitscan in that are way too high. I used to love the zombie panic/zombie escape maps in Counter Strike: Source. CSGO never quite felt the same for those types of maps

During the early EQ era, forum genesis was noows.org as far as I know. I started posting then. Noows became FOH forums maybe a year or two later after EQ had been out? Then it was Rerolled after FOH got shuttered, then it became FOH again after Rerolled got shuttered There were also random...

I used to ask my grandfather about it when I was younger, but he only would talk about funny stories (like the time some natives scammed them out of their salt rations) or stories about close calls mostly. Like he mentioned the camo netting the Japanese used had a really distinct smell, so when...

It was fine - it settled a few plot points and was the setup for some future stuff. I just hope season 3 doesn't take too long, since the Viltrumite stuff will start to take more of a center stage

I had something that looked like #3. Was way too heavy and only worked well on very steep hills or hardpacked snow/ice Although where is the snow tube option? That shit was way better - they worked on a wide variety of snow and you could get a running start holding the tube and then jump on...

I agree he isn't costing them that much on the infrastructure front since the bandwidth is heavily discounted I presume, but they still lose out on those ad dollars.

But selected rage bait is representative of all of them!
