    I wonder what the stochastics of blame look like for this. What are the odds this was junk from the ISS, or a piece off the Tesla vehicle floating around?

    tutorial, small combat, level 1. I'm only using the Nexerlin mod. I kind of want to dump a bunch of faction / ship mods in but don't know what to pick. I got what feels like halfway through the tutorial. I love the art style, been so long since I played a real 2d game.

    Starsector (formerly Starfarer)

    all right, somebody said this game is kenshi/warband in space so I'm installing this game. Besides Nexerelin what mods should I add. I'm just looking for anything that fixes bugs or whatever and is unlikely to conflict with Nexerelin.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Yeah it's hard to really discuss the viability of the approach without knowing how extensible certain aspects are. Are there any significant impediments to dramatically increasing the print speed, or having people place plumbing electrical in as its being laid down? Can the mechatronic gantry...

    I'm excited for JWST just because of the science and engineering around it. I'd be curious to know what tangible benefits the JWST is expected to provide, or what Hubble has provided. Like, yeah I get that we'll be able to add a few decimals of precision to our knowledge of how tall the eagle...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I wonder how they run the plumbing/electrical. I'm sure it's not too hard. Would be funny if they did it while the concrete was being printed and drying. 3d printed windmill turbines seem weird. I'm not a civil engineer but I figured concrete would be out due to low tensile strength.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    It's an experimental system so any real cost is going to be yuge because it's built by engineers using the one of a kind hardware they designed and any "in 10+ years and when we built a million houses" cost is going to be total bullshit.

    hmm https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/guild-wars-2-live-summer-2021/ Why do I get the feeling that the meta achievement for the 3 living world seasons will be ez, then the last one for the Icebrood Saga will include "ok give us a Mystic tribute, a bunch of WvW/pvp/fractal bullshit, a few...

    they had an explanation but it was not reasonable. "bro what if we just shave off tiny amounts of this block and then fire them like, *really* fast???"

    I could use the ME1 mako like a surgeon wields a scalpel or @Ossoi sucks a cock. I never understood why so many people had trouble with it. The later mako felt dumbed down.

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    I don't know how they changed ME1, but I'd recommend changing it up each game (presuming the game lets you). ME1: Shooting shit, soldier or soldier hybrid is fine ME2: Infiltrator + Jack to launch shit up with shockwave (only really helps on low/med difficulty) ME3: Biotic / engineer, and use...

    Play the gender you want. Jennifer Hale isn't delivering a next level experience that Mark Vanderloo can't match, she just did a great job. I've played both sides, male shep is canon shep for me.

    This is a patently retarded idea, but they could release 2x ME movies simultaneously, one with Paragon Cavil and another with Renegade Carano. Gina would have to go back to fighting weight though, which is impossible.

    Dresden Files

    Great thing about unfinished series is you can discuss them as they release with the community, make theories/predictions and then see those theories/predictions be crushed by the authors ability to simple create new ideas instead of regurgitate old ones.

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    Sounds like revisionist history and comparing the strongest companions from ME1 with the weakest ones in ME2. I think I like ME2's companions more exactly because they didn't grow organically. They showed up ready to party.

    If there was a mod to get Jack in ME1 I'd be tempted to play this. Just three full games of me and Garrus skeet shooting.

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    I don't know how you can say that ME2's squad are mostly just "there" in ways that ME1's are not. I think it comes down to how much you like each characters. The only squad mates I really liked in ME1 was Garrus and Wrex. Part of the reason I liked Jack in ME2 was just because her ability...

    Mass effect Remastered - Legendary Edition - 2021

    I think with this trilogy the distinction of best to worst isn't that meaningful, since if you're a new player it's recommended to play them in order. But 2>1>3. 2 is objectively better than 1 in most technical regards (graphics, gameplay) and the storyline is a bit more engaging. 1 has a...

    Brother I quit ESO three months after it came out :D I'll probably never go back, I know the game has gotten better since release but the high-level design is antithetical to everything I wanted out of an elder scrolls MMO.

    Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)

    The first movie went from being OK to perfect when I realized Tom Hardy saw the ridiculous script and put in maximum camp while everyone else was dead serious. I'm sure Woody will be in on the joke too in the second one, so I've pre-ordered early access alpha with a founders pack.
