I really don't have the patience to babysit the barrel roll glitch but I think I can earn almost as much skill just drifting in the hoonicorn. Stupidly easy to drift up and down a runway and tons of mastery synergy. 8x bonus means you only need 62k which is quick.

I guess it depends on what you consider progression in this game. For the most part, nothing you get with mastery points really changes the game for you besides the ability to get more points faster. Getting 20% more skill points, higher multiplier, or the other mastery bonuses doesn't help...

the irony is in 99% of the cases it is the prosecutor arguing that kicking someone is murder. It's just these weird social justice cases where the prosecution is forced to downplay the actual criminals to attack the self defense response.

I think the earth got nuked beyond all repair during the jihad between humans and AI.

For sure. I'm guessing when Frank started writing Dune he didn't envision modern multi-cultural cross breeding the way it is today. Even 100 years from now it might be hard for a large portion of the western world to really trace any dominant lineage. The other part of it is 20k+ years from...

Probably. I did the 6 Frank books in the 80s after the movie and have read wiki's and other spoilers over the years when a rerun would come on. Hard to remember what came from where now.

It's been a long time since I read the books but the basic gist is: Atreides are descended from the Greek and in theory trace their line back to Agamemnon. Harkonnen are believed to be Finnish/Northern European based on names and whatnot. Fremen and House Corrino (the emperor) are both vaguely...

Find a new settlement via map, claim, and you'll automatically swap to the new one. Not sure if they patched it yet but it was buggy if you swapped settlements with any construction or settler excursion active when swapping. You won't always get a settlement on the planet you activate the map...

Finished expedition 3. Kind of boring being all on one planet and, other than taming one creature, not focusing on newer content. Rewards are meh too but I guess giving everyone an exotic ship is probably the real reward for lazy players. I don't think it's entirely fair to compare NMS to...

The lighting for sure could use improvements. This last expedition I set up an activated indium base on a lost blue planet and no matter what I did for lighting I couldn't get any shades of blue to show up, even in an entirely enclosed space. Cool effect when you're outside, not so much when...

Awesome that they're still adding major features and continually improving the game, but does this mean expeditions are shelved for a while at least? I enjoyed the first two. I have more fun in sandboxes when there's at least some form of quests/achievements. Edit: must have missed the...

I thought it was implied that Ep2 resulted in destruction, or at least whatever total domination Ego was hoping for.

I think of it as Loki is more prone to variation due to his trickster nature. There are obviously other variants but a higher percentage of Loki's vary and are more apt to survive in the Void.

Wasn't one of the purposes of the early prepositioning to extract fuel from the atmosphere or something like that?

Yea, my first thought, since she was taken as a child while playing with toys, was that she was developing too much compassion and the timeline needed a more evil/trickster Loki. Of course that reinforces the "evil" of TVA by not allowing her to be her best self.

I'm sure someone's tried to analyze it, but I'm not sure you can directly compare streaming profit to theaters. They may get close to 100% but I'd wager there are more than 2 viewings per subscription which for the consumer is the break even point. Family of 4-5 would be same profit disney+ vs...

Despite the title, I'm pretty sure, coming as it does after we know scarjo dies, that this was always intended to be a Yelena origin story. Not even despite the title since all the chicks are technically "black widows."

Well the plot is almost identical to any of the Bournes and the scene where she reunites with Yelena could have been any of the Bourne apartment ambush fights. They just took it up to 11 with the amount of damage dished out and all there is to show for it is a couple bruises and a small cut on...

Ok, one other thing put me off too. If they spent 3 years living undetected as Americans why do they have the shitty trope Russian accent later on. I've spent the last 15 months watching everything with subtitles on that I forgot how to listen to conversations in theaters and the accents...

I was entertained. Not sure where I'd put it yet but it's definitely higher than bottom tier for me. The only thing that really put me off was the amount of damage BW takes in the various fights. I was expecting/hoping that this would be the Marvel Jason Bourne and you can tell it wanted to...

That was difficult to watch

I was discussing with my daughter how they were going to handle Loki's character development since he evolved into a much more complex character in Dark World and Ragnarok/Infinity War. I guess watching the highlight reel will be the explanation. Kind of weak imo but what else could they do...

Except the market keeps owners in check from easily making super teams. In hindsight the McHale/Parish trade was lopsided but the Celtics still needed the Warriors to agree to it. When players form super teams there's no checks and balances. Super stars are already in fuck off money territory...

Ratings were going to be down these playoffs no matter who made it. Now they'll just use the lack of tent-pole teams as an excuse rather than address why they've lost marginal bball fans.

Player safety office will earn their money deciding this one. If you call that a charge because of distance traveled then you need to call charging on every waved off icing. I'm not claiming I was coached correctly, but I was always coached on breakaways and plays like that to play the body.

debugtooltip also works and shows system precursors in-game. I think you can still enable debugtooltip prior to starting ironman and it will be on once the game starts.

Family saw this last night. Girls wanted to see it and I used it as an excuse to all-you-can-eat theater popcorn for the first time in 18 months. I actually enjoyed it. I thought both Emma's did an excellent job. There's no dog skinning or anything, just one joke where Cruella very...

I started the season maybe 5 days after it opened and didn't have really any troubles. After I got off planet I just visited a bunch of public bases and "borrowed" enough indium to buy all the fuel I needed for every phase. When warping to the next milestone, instead of following the line the...

Has anyone let their Normandy fail a mission and break yet? Is there a unique structure for the repair stuff?

I like the concept, but to me it has a different feel than normal game modes since everyone is in the same space. You don't get the same "lone traveler" feel when every rendezvous point has a hundred beacons and bases surrounding them. It is pretty handy though when there are public activated...

Same. Separate from the story and exploration, I thought the game mechanics and engine were great in the original. It doesn't sound like that part went backwards so I'd say they've earned a play through from me.

My daughters play this on xbone with their phones. I think the latest they have is 2020 but I'm not sure since the live playlist has almost everything from all editions. Funny story: my youngest digs the Rasputin song and is fairly good at the russian squat kick move. I do announcements and...

Not my screenshot, but I laughed

The super soldier power just comes across as inconsistent to me. Cap and Bucky are jumping out of planes without parachutes and taking Thanos/IM/Thor punches yet a gutshot kills one in 10 seconds. At least the mercury vapor death got the "how'd you do that" treatment. The funniest for me was...

One thing I don't get with power broker is her timeline. Sharon doesn't go underground until civil war, which is also when Zemo gets imprisoned. It's implied though that Zemo is familiar with PB being in Madripor. When would he have learned about PB? Is Sharon just the latest person to have the...

Yea, Wyatt is getting into Jack Gleeson/Joffrey territory. This is, of course, assuming the show wants him to come across as a hot headed douche. There's potential for a more satisfying conclusion specifically because of the "hate" he's generating. Even if it was nepotism that got him the...

Isn't part of the whole "graduation" from Aretuza getting turned into a beauty worthy of standing beside a king? Yen's was accelerated in the show, and perhaps more extreme due to her hunchback, but I though all the witches got a makeover when they graduated.

I'm sure it was their intention. But even my liberal, blm supporting coworkers were upset that it was the black guy that was having money troubles. Both sides thought the scene was dumb.

The bank scene was just so unnecessary. You could literally keep all the dock/boat scenes the same and just have Sam say he doesn't want to cash in on his celebrity but he'll figure something out. Reinforces his reluctance to wear the Cap mantle, gives a glimpse to how the economy is kinda...

I suppose one reason for a "forge world" is it potentially smooths out any irregularities in planetary and interplanetary ingot supply. One thing I've never been sure about is how the game chooses where to ask for/send materials. You may think your smelters next door are providing locally, but...
