    Just binged this last weekend after having a hard SW burn out due to ob1. This show really felt like reading a book. The build up, the slow pace, I liked almost everything; sometimes it felt like he wanted to tell a story, or add some background, and someone said no cut this bs and he had to...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    I'll see the part two this week, but I do agree the part 1 was slow and a bit empty. Pretty pictures, some cool stuff, but pretty slow

    The Astronomy Thread

    Im a layman also but « dark matter » , especially when put into perspective with the higgs fields, sounds quite interesting. Something that interacts with it but not with the electromagnetic field. Could be 100% bullshit but i guess like someone said above, scientists love to insult their...

    Satisfactory

    I think the simpler look of factorio gives you a better feel of the factory than DSP. But DSP is beautiful and feels more like a 21th century game

    Ancient Civilizations

    I thought the axial precession cycle of earth would be the cause of this. Fun fact, some dude theoretized that a glaciation has occured on earth every 41'000 years, over the last couple of hundreds thousands years, due to both axial precession and the influence of jupiter/saturn on our orbit...

    Ancient Civilizations

    Yeah they have to change the numbering on runways in airport every 7-8 years or so because of this, since they are named according to their magnetic azimuth.

    Ancient Civilizations

    He clearly mixed poles, the supposed book is talking about magnetic pole shift, and he's talking about earth rotation axis. A magnetic pole shift would probably creates a lot of problems but we would survive. A geological pole shift can happen only if we get hit by something big, and then the...

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    That was abused many times on my server when the nef/ony heads were mandatory. Some guilds wanted to get their items and bypass the server buff schedule, so they would mass report the designated dude that was supposed to do the turn in so they could do theirs. However, one of their members was...

    This ship has already sailed, but to me speedrunning means finishing the game as fast as you can. Since he's the first one to finish it, even if it took 29 years he did speedrun it. I can't wait till other autistic children beat his record by using an obscure technique called dick flicking or...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I can't believe someone would release a video of this game and be proud of it. That dude swings a sword, then stay put for 2 straight seconds, then attacks again. Such a poor animation, and the gameplay must be equivalent. TERA had an impressive and immersive combat system, and the game was...

    instead of bonuses or such, losing in a premade should strip you of all title and honor, and make you killable by your own faction for 1 hours

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    I see this with two possibilities : - US doesn't have any UFO but the three letter agency / the army still want the sweet dough from the gov so they can funnel it wherever they want. - US has had UFO since the 50s, but haven't cracked anything yet. like none.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    We have a model Y and outside of vacations trip (3-4 times a year maybe), we're charging from home and the car is always full. On a long trip, usually we drive 700km and we have to stop once when driving from my home, and two when drive to it, since we're in the alps. At first, I thought that...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    That's the not the very first image of earth. This is just a high altitude picture of a part of earth. Usually, we consider the soviet Molinya mission picture to be the first real picture of earth, as it includes the full disk. not sure what we see here though.

    Napoleon (2023)

    Yeah I haven't see the movie but the fact they chose an older actor for this is a bit weird. He was indeed 34 years old when he went into power. Most french historian are shouting that this movie is wrong on many historical facts. Ridley Scott told them to get fucked. I concur.

    They should tie faction population with the price of gear. if alliance / horde ratio is 10/1, then it's 10x easier to get geared on horde side.

    We had a guild on my pve server called Felwood Police, their sole purpose was to gank min/maxxer who went for the +crit flowers there by tricking them to enable pvp. The tears were abundant.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Despite the "good ol' days" feeling, this is quite pointless since electric motors have an almost constant torque from low to high rpm. They should add 2 horses for the good ancient day also. EV's are already very close to the manual feeling : when you push your pedals, you don't get the delay...

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    People like me who liked to tank in classic would have loved more incentive to run dungeons more than once. More quests, better loot, more than a chance to get maybe 1 useful item would have been nice. Also, travelling to the places was a pain in the ass cause travel sucked ass. But i do agree...

    I'm highly dubious that the only things remaining from an advanced civ is a bunch of overly crafted pots. How did they date them btw ? How did they go through 10000 years without being weathered down like all stones ?

    The Marvels (2023)

    The Thor 3 humour was a complete miss to me. I thought the Grandmaster was boring and underwhelming, the hulk part unnecessary and overall it was a boring colorful movie. That was my first contact with a movie made by Waititi and Love and thunder confirmed that I don't like his way of doing movies.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I'd say it's even better than that. You can decide to go into a redbull-fueled rage session where you pull dozens of monsters, chain kill without break, always edging on the limit, optimize every quest's path to minimize downtime, or you can just chill, dies underwater cause you alt-tabbed, etc...
