Finally caught up on this, largely enjoyed it.

Caught up. Not much a fan of season 6, but the last couple of episodes are heading the right direction. Love the cast, but the shit they have Chuck doing compared to where this series started just feels so off.

3 episodes into season 6, and yeah, can feel it really turning. With Chuck in many respects representing his dad's money more than the law it seems at this point I feel like it'd be better if he was gone too and the people from his office just doing cameos occasionally or something when needed...

'the telescope is performing than models said it would' Dr. Becky talks a little bit about it, that the resolution of the focused telescope is .0000194 degrees. Spitzer is 0.0015.

No, she's just a big fan of super heroes / Captain Marvel and gets powers. Captain Marvel 2 is called The Marvels, as it'll feature Captain Marvel, Photon (from Wandavision) and Ms. Marvel.

To peers, lawmakers and the community at the initial stages. People are spending their whole career on projects like Artemis (in 2 years this project will enter year THIRTY) because it includes the development of the launch vehicle and everything over a period of decades. If/when Starship...

Going to need a new Thunderbolt Ross. RIP William Hurt. https://variety.com/2022/film/news/william-hurt-dead-kiss-of-the-spider-woman-1235203576/

RIP William Hurt, 71. https://variety.com/2022/film/news/william-hurt-dead-kiss-of-the-spider-woman-1235203576/

A few Star Trek Online ships joined the official Star Trek canon by making appearances in the first episode, if anyone's interested here's a twitter thread on them. Some awesome media in this thread: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1500760856677675008.html And one more from his Twitter:

Halfway through season 3 (in the middle of ep 6 as I type this, as Wendy's short is exposed and Bobby considering a plea as Connerty finally gets to unload on the Rhoades family), this show stresses me the fuck out. The way it gets me to root for Bobby for periods of time, and Chuck constantly...

I liked Riddler a lot, but I'm a big fan of Paul Dano after There Will be Blood. Long movie, pretty good, not great. Could see this Batman existing in the same world as Phoenix's Joker. Some of the stuff towards the end was pretty eyeroll-level stupid, but I enjoyed the cast. Nothing worth...

So... that was OK, I guess.

Was excited about Shadow Warrior 3 until I realized it said Playstation Now rather than Playstation Plus.

Feels so claustrophobic. Will just play it on my secondary monitor, but for such a big release what a half-assed way to support it on PC between this and the framerate cap.

On Wednesday, February 23, 2022, the U.S. National Science Foundation’s Inouye Solar Telescope commenced its first science observations, signaling the start of its year-long operations commissioning phase and a new era of solar science...

I enjoyed it like I enjoy much of what PTA does, disappointed Philip Seymour Hoffman isn't alive to see his son's performance in this.

Might be worth a part time subscription, but like my Ubisoft one it'd be the first to go unless there's a good annual cheap option. I love subscriptions, hate the half-hearted attempt to copy Game Pass, but it's something. Before this stuff was more ubiquitous I got a lot out of the 10 hour...

I don't mind their client, that overlay though, oof.

Activision you mean? MS/Bethesda closed last year I thought.

Started this series this weekend, will finish the first season tonight. Can't believe I haven't watched this.

This Next Fest is always one of my favorite events. So far just played IXION, and it's pretty cool for a builder. Looking forward to seeing how that one turns out.

JWST alignment continues.

This looks and feels like a 10+ year old game, not sure what the deal is (it also crashed as I took this screenshot). Maybe I'll try it on a standard monitor after raids tonight, maybe these crappy images in the UI are stretched or something because of the wide resolution. I've never really...

The thing that does come across as feeling revolutionary for some reason are things like 'please go collect 12 of a thing'... you kill 4 guys and get the 12. Instead of quest after quest of '10 this, 20 this, 11 this' requiring 20, 30, 40 kills. Just the way it keeps you moving instead of...

Hadn't happened to me... but now has. Game ended up just closing, and after a couple more attempts (one met by a general 'an error has occured') says I'm online and account is restricted for trying to login while already online too many times. Edit: my server (Mari) now under maintenance. Yay?

First JWST image, as they continue to calibrate.

Eh, represent a state in the senate for 4-5 decades and I'm sure you get a lot of stuff named after you, especially for a relatively small population. But yeah, TMT is mentioned with the ELT segment. https://www.yahoo.com/now/construction-thirty-meter-telescope-delayed-160700381.html A lot...

Dr. Becky talks about the telescope now and in the future that will drive astronomy forward for this coming generation. Here are the projects she covers: Extremely Large Telescope (ELT + TMT, GMT) (2022) Euclid Space Telescope (launches 2/2023) Square Kilometre Array (SKA) (2027) Daniel...

Oh man, this scene really bugged me when I saw it. Everyone pantomiming to the ceiling... and then we never actually see the ceiling aside from the small bit at the top of the shot in the back of the room, just a shadow past a window.

Was also a bit of a callback moment for Fett, he was bested, and turned the tables leveraging the Tusken stuff. My first exposure to the character, I really liked him and hope we do get more somehow in the future. Will get around to watching some animated stuff at some point maybe.

I'm not sure I've thought 'wow, this fight scene is like 20 minutes too long' before but here we are. Also thought the post credits scene was going to be Cad Bane, but still happy with what we got there. Really felt like 5 different shows wedged into a 7 episode season, what a schizophrenic...

Yeah, you can only mitigate so much w/ space weather, wouldn't be surprised if the data / experience this provided will be more valuable in the long run to future launches and operations than these lost sats.

Not current gen games, no, as they're designed to take advantage of the faster storage speeds. BC games will play off of other external storage.

SpaceX lost 40 of the 49 Starlink satellites launched 5 days ago due to a geomagnetic storm increasing atmospheric drag by as much as 50%. https://www.spacex.com/updates/ On Thursday, February 3 at 1:13 p.m. EST, Falcon 9 launched 49 Starlink satellites to low Earth orbit from Launch Complex...
