How will we communicate to aliens??? Is one of the fun concepts of scifi. I would contend any advanced species can communicate over the electromagnetic spectrum, it's just a matter of interpretting the date. After aliens in Contact taught Jodie Foster to build an interdimensional gateway I think...

I hope it's a massive feat of engineering that's required, and that the entire planet is being dedicated to build a similar communication device to send a response to that planet. I've always loved the sci-fi concept of "If we brutally dedicated our economy to building something, what could we...

I'm pretty much on the same page as you on those being the big question for the show in terms of the strategy from the virus. I hope it has a satisfying answer and think Vince Gilligan et all deserve our trust enough to be interested. My current thought for the answer to "Why are these aliens...

Or the rat was just feeling super sick and bit the lab tech as a defensive response.

Yeah. It's interesting when a show primarily shows things from an isolated POV because it gives the opportunity to see things Carol and thus the audience, doesn't have enough info to understand. Compare that to Battlestar Galactica where there were an abundance of scenes watching these two...

I've got the three islands I wanted before upgrading to T3. I've leaned into specialization as much as I can, with different dieties. Playing with everything on hard is a lot more fun than the campaign that used default settings. My first island I boosted the population to absurd levels and...

Yeah even before the most recent episode there were a lot of posts on the internet talking about how much "milk" is being shown. It's funny that the milk appears to be a total red herring, since I imagine there are many containers for transport of their soylent amber.

It's probably human corpses but I'm hoping for something more exotic like them creating some kind of alien eggs or something weird. Imagine walking into a walk-in freezer at your local dog food factory filled with random foodstuffs and

I'm glad they spent an episode having Carol discovery the surface level logistical problems of letting all the animals go free. I hope they go further into it but I doubt they will except to create a big answer like "we only needed like, 5 million humans" or "we lied" rather than some...

New achievement unlocked. Jokes on Ben, I was eating turkey all day while the game was paused.

Nice, I wasn't ready to jump in but I just bought the gold version of this that comes with an Eren Yeager bobblehead and Mikasa Ackerman waifu pillow.

I expect the last few questions will be answered. The psychic link physics hopefully won't be. They don't need to talk about midichlorians.

Yeah. As a Factorio player I'd love to see some episodes going deep on the perfect logistics of the hive mind. Would be interesting to see statistics on the ramifications of freeing all animals overnight. So many animals would die, those that died of dehydration in the first week could probably...

I'm giving up on this save with its cursed traders, lol. Literally nobody else on the Internet is talking about this bug. I'm going to start a new save in sandbox mode or whatever. Hard mode for pretty much everything but the AI and island size, wish me luck in not getting this but again.

re: specialists, one of my complaints about Anno 1800 was that specialists are what turn your efficient but mediocre city into a gigachad producer, but the cost, effort and tedium to get specialists is so much you don't really need them. This is illustrated in challenging gameplay where if you...

I'm not sure if this is a bug or what, but... THEYRE RIPPING US OFF ON TRADE I goes to buy a specialist and see a reasonable price of 120K When I try to buy it, they want 1.2M, what gives?

Looks like Egypt is coming out late next year.

Also my shithole of an Albion settlement

Ran into this issue: I think it's fixed? Happened either after a graphics card driver update or game update.

Cap.

I'm on team "Helen died from hitting her head". at 1 minute: My initial thought when I saw her fall was "she better not just be OK". Rewatching it I refute your assessment and think you should get your eyes checked if you don't think her head smacked the concrete. Her corpse also displayed...

I just got to Albion. I wonder how many sub-saharan Africans were acting as Procurator ( Procurator (ancient Rome) - Wikipedia ) for the Roman empire?

Yeah the community has been filtered through a gauntlet of mediocre woke quests. Hard to keep playing unless you want to inject wokeism into your veins.

+1 vote for Bobiverse, very fascinating series.

The how it should have ended could be pretty good for pluribus. This show would be over in five minutes with a competent protagonist. And probably because the protagonist would trigger some pod people failsafe to just execute her once she started noticing too hard and became a risk.

No latin option? This game is shit.

Buy now. And send the copy to me, I'm going to buy it once I finish this EQ event.

Nice. I've been thinking about picking that up again.

Yeah, I'd go on a spending spree if they rereleased sets from my childhood that I spent hours looking in magazines at but never got. Then again I'm pretty sure the sets available now are superior to what they had as a kid.

That's my guess too, but the show will throw some curveballs in and introduce new characters or factions. Vince Gilligan is also perfectly happy to slow-roll a TV show for multiple seasons, so this could go exactly no where till season 4, lol.

Carol is incapable of being happy and that makes her entertaining. You can see it in the first episode and flashback where her girlfriend is constantly trying, and failing, to cheer her up. She'll only grudgingly accept things aren't that bad. When an army of pod people show up to stock a store...

I never read or watched Solo Leveling, but we previously talked in this thread about how they don't make LitRPG games. Not sure if Solo Leveling qualifies buuuut

When I finished Shogun I had mostly enjoyed it, but I was excited for a season 2 because basically nothing happened but world building and character development for the entire season. After so much buildup with no payoff I was surprised and glad I never listened to the 56hour audio book that I...

It was fine. It was something a colleague purchased for the office to sort of take turns putting together as a mental break. I inherited it when he left. Same with the moon lander which we also attached a LED thing into. I might just disassemble them both and throw them in the general use...
