    Radio signals from Earth are also thought to degrade as they get farther out from the source, much like the water ripples created from a stone you throw into a pond. It is hypothesized that after around 2 light years or so, they become almost indistinguishable from background radiation

    Abby? I don’t think so, they were just extremely masculine from what I recall The person she later rescues from the religious cult is outright identified as trans, though, if memory serves

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    The biggest change was with the ARR dungeons, like 1000 Maws. That place used to be a virtual maze, but they made it linear in a revamp. Some may decry the loss of a non-linear dungeon, but it really didn't fit anymore since everything post ARR followed a different layout. Plus it was...

    They reportedly disabled it regards to NSFW stuff, so what’s the point?

    The Q parts were good in S2, or at the very least, his initial scenes with Picard and his last scenes with Picard.

    People are acting like she has been in power for 20 years. If you look at the context, it’s only been months.

    The worst was I went to see the 2nd LOTR movie on opening day and was forced to go front row. 3+ hours of staring straight up was fucking brutal

    I try not to watch too much, but it’s one of the few shows I can revisit every 5+ years and still really enjoy it

    The Last of Us

    People overlook competency a bit when the person says things they like or they feel like they got delivered a win The FEDRA takedown seems semi recent, so the people are still on that post victory high. We aren’t being shown a long standing society here in terms of the current power structure.

    The Last of Us

    A lot of leaders people idolize aren’t physically strong either. Yes, physical strength can be a good attribute if you lead by that attribute alone, but that type of power structure is too easily challenged…especially if you get older. Boiled down, a good leader is one who can convince others...

    The Last of Us

    In the game, most of the FEDRA safe zones had long ago fallen. Boston is the only surviving one we see, and the game hints that even that outpost is essentially on its last legs

    They should pay you for sitting in the first row, to help pay for the Tylenol you’ll need to take after your neck is injured from looking up for 2-3 hours

    Ya, it's just shitty clickbait. They have no expansion packs planned for release in 2023. The upcoming fanfest is literally going to announce the next xpac, though

    The problem with the Fermi Paradox is it is extremely human centric and thus subject to human biases. We make assumptions that we, in our current state of technology, should have observed signs of intelligent life by now and by virtue of not seeing anything, we jump to conclusions like...

    Oona Chaplin plays the fire Navi leader? Will be sad when at the end of the movie, they all sit down for dinner and the theme for The Abyss starts to play and Sully stabs her in the stomach and all the fire Navi are killed by the guests

    The Last of Us

    I have to imagine they weren’t eating that every day. The comment made during that last dinner was “my favorite meal”, which would suggest they didn’t eat that all the time. Even if you had an entire small town to yourself, stretching that for 20 years with daily consumption wouldn’t be...

    I have come to the theory that so many people in this thread are uncomfortable because half of you are survivalist prepper types and this episode awakened something deep within you that you deny

    The Last of Us

    Earlier in the episode, they showed Bill making the trap. He basically put some wire netting that wouldn’t support a person’s weight and then covered it with sod/dirt clumps to disguise it

    The Last of Us

    Frank probably helped Bill survive longer than he would have on his own. Like Joel pointed out, some of Bill’s defenses weren’t going to last and by facilitating a Joel+Tess trading partnership, they were able to get some things they couldn’t have gotten on their own. Bill may have been shot...

    The Last of Us

    Bill was in the game. Frank is talked about by the time Joel and Ellie arrive. Bill is gay in the game as well - they don't blatantly state this, but it is pretty much implied if you pay attention. This stuff wasn't directly in the game - they discuss some stuff, but doesn't go into this...

    His goal was always to do an "Archeage, but made my way", so them being similar is what he is going for If his goal was EQ-like combat, then you'd just stand in one place auto attacking and pressing taunt every so often lol

    The Last of Us

    Honestly they need to introduce Abby earlier. Make her a C-plot at the Fireflies base. Give the audience glimpses of the base that are intentionally misleading because it is from the POV of a naive kid. Then when you get to the end of TLOU in the show, have a scene where we previously saw...

    The Last of Us

    Another reason the 2nd game was hated so much. It's telling that the best parts of the 2nd game were the flashbacks when Joel was trying to be a dad to Ellie and had to deal with the normal shit parents have to deal with.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    He's right. The photo is a crappy example because it looks like it could be an art class and it actually counters the copy argument being made. If you look closely, the upper left of the canvas is the reference image, but the larger stuff in the middle is what they are actually painting. If...

    The third episode was always going to be a tough act to follow. It ranks up there not just in Bad Batch, but among all the animated Star Wars stuff.

    The Last of Us

    Television wise this always made the most sense. End s1 with the rebar scene, s2 is the rest of the first game. However, introducing Abby earlier on would be their best bet. She doesn’t go all psycho mode until post TLOU1, so it is an easier way to garner audience sympathy for her. Otherwise...
