    Pod person watching a pack of wolves tear apart his entire herd of dairy cows that he was lucky to be ranching on a massive but enclosed field that has year-round grazing.

    @Sylas after the last episode, stock in #1b: Alien extinction of sentient life or #2b: Peace through no sentients is at an all time high. For #1b, the alien just wants another garden planet without any pesky sentients, and in this world sentients are frequently susceptible to RNA from cuck...

    I was thinking along the same lines too, but somewhat more pessimistically. Unless they have a strong drive to effectively build a food pyramid where the bottom 50-80% of humanity feeds the top 50-20% OR they just kill all but a few million, humans are 99% extinct in a single year. I just don't...

    Stranger Things

    This show is so hard to watch. Way too many characters and they're even introducing more with a large investment of screentime. Turning the original cast into supporting characters for Joyce, Robin and Nancy makes me think the target audience is now middle-aged women. Holly is just weird, they...

    How I kinda imagine a lot of godtier cultivators in litrpg, that are just aloof and wearing ridiculous garb in weird reality breaking spaces barely contained in mortal planes.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    The catchup mechanic is not great. You can buy a level 100 heroic character for $35 that has a bunch of gear, AAs, and then autogrant up a few more expansions, up till ToL i believe. The problem is there are very few ways to group at level 100, so you're in a grouping desert until level 125ish...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    Worth the $9 to play the first half of the game and tour Hogwarts.

    I think this theory has some merit. The hive mind is the basis for Judeo-Christian religion (and maybe others...) and after seeing how they failed to make a peaceful mankind they are going to forcibly turn it back into the Garden of Eden. Interesting note: Carol might be the anti-christ and...

    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...

    Anno 117: Pax Romana

    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...

    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.

    Anno 117: Pax Romana

    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 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...

    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.
