Exactly the reason those fuckheads targeting power substations and the like need to be charged with domestic terrorism and tossed in a Supermax

PTR patch notes are up - SO many changes. Big ones -Crit damage bonuses are now additive instead of multiplicative - HUGE nerf to crit damage -Medium and Heavy armor now have innate 10/20% freedom buff -Musket nerf is pretty bad right now - even moving your mouse fucks your bullet accuracy. I...

The greatest singular motivator for humans to get shit done is when they have to and the consequences if they don't are they get screwed Hydroelectric is pretty old technology - 19th century. If they're using an older system (which is likely), then they can probably get by with more primitive...

Right. Plus being only 20 years out, you would still have a lot of people with 1st hand experience working these sorts of things. It’s not like a Fallout situation where 150 years have gone by

TNG/DS9 era Klingon design

One nitpick: it would take like half a second to run a medscan to confirm the parentage of Jack. The drawn out need for Beverly to confirm was sort of needless Nice to see Worf kick some ass

The extra percentages matter in war and the artificial gear score limits for higher level mutations. But outside that, there isn’t a massive difference for regular play

The short hair makes sense if you're wearing that helmet and suit all the time anyways. Would be much easier to put on.

Couldn't they potentially create some non-petroleum based machine lubricants, or simple lubricants from crude oil? Even Ancient Rome/Greece had machine/axle lubricants that didn't involve petroleum As for the dam itself, it wouldn't have to be running for the past 20 years. If they closed...

Considering lack of electricity for the past 20 years, the usefulness of lightbulbs would be virtually nothing to scavengers. The biggest risk would just be the lightbulbs not surviving due to their relative fragility

Hunter gatherer also requires mobility. If animals aren’t where you are, you need to go to them. A permanent settlement needs a constant and reliable source of food to support the population and you can only really get that with farming and domesticated animals, although you can supplement...

Damn, some of those changes are far out. Influence change is Fall now? Oof May seem minor, but the color coded enemy AOE changes will probably be some of the biggest changes to war pvp in some time

You clearly never paid attention to the first game then. The entire game is basically Joel trying to finally come to grips with the loss of Sara, because he just buried it rather than emotionally deal with it

I disagree. He clearly shared the message with her and was looking for validation on what he suspected, because ultimately he wanted her buy in on what he had to do

TLOU2 gameplay wise is fine Storywise it’s mixed and some of the controversial storybeats involve gameplay that takes away player agency, so even though you REALLY don’t want to do that gameplay action, you have to in order to proceed. It’s like that Viva la Dirt League sketch where the guy...

Fucking Barclay got more character development than Kim. Not that Voyager had a ton of character development anyways outside like 2-3 characters anyways, but in a show with so little, it stood out even by those low standards of the show

Seven and Chakotay was such a shitty pairing. Zero chemistry “everyone thinks Chakotay is boring and has the personality of a rock - lets pair him up with Seven!” Seven and The Doctor would have been better to keep going if they wanted to do a relationship thing. Both their characters had...

Best Voyager episode is the one where a copy of The Doctor is activated 700 years later and sees the historical re-enactments of Voyager that paint them all as evil war criminals

Voyager basically was a treasure trove of technologies and knowledge by the time they got home. The fact she got it back home in one piece is 100% promotion material - in some cases, she let Starfleet get centuries worth of advancements (Borg stuff, future stuff, etc)

Communism can work ok for a very small community that doesn’t trade and just does it’s own thing in order to survive and everyone pulls their weight that is able to. Basically think a family unit pooling resources. It completely fails at scale, though

That wouldn’t fly, because technically Shaw outranked both. Picard is retired and Shaw, as captain of the Titan, would override any authority Riker would otherwise have even thought Riker is also a captain

If you’re referring to him wanting to dump Ellie on Tommy to bring her to the university, that was in the game

I really hope they don’t just launch into TLOU2 right away in season 2. Start setting up those plot lines, but at least flesh shit out more. Given the current pace of the show, it’s clear the first game story will be completely done

The Pact thing seems to have parallels with the fall of the Russian Tsar and the rise of communism. Things seem nice now for the plebs, but once the spoils get used up, I wonder if storywise you’ll end up with how the Soviets ended up. There are already shades of it since they are employing...

Assuming he has a say. Could just be the higher ups just put her there whether he wanted it or not. Although given Shaw’s focus on efficiency, it wouldn’t half surprise me if that is what made Seven appealing: Borg are efficient, if nothing else

Correct. The fungus mutated to respond to environmental pressures and also allowed it to infect humans. Tommy’s town in the game is relatively safe because of the remoteness. The winter makes it harder for the fungus infected to move about, but them being in the boonies and trying to clear...

It will be nice if they handle it like Trek’s in the past. What I suspect will happen is the “do not trust Starfleet” thing will get revealed and Shaw will be slightly more understanding. But they should still have him reprimand Seven and explain that even though stuff worked out this time...

If you look at the example above, Hellboy 2 made 2x it's production budget. Although with Hollywood accounting, I'm sure that was twisted into they made nothing on the film. Either that or they didn't feel Hellboy 3 with a 120m budget would have made back the same ratio. Hellboy 2 was such a...

Amazon advertises in odd spots. The Expanse had some spotty advertisement as well at times

Randomly went to the inn in the Crystarium to fix some glamour plate stuff and the shoebill was sitting on the balcony. I don't think I've seen that before

The main suspect in the attack

She's working undercover for Starfleet Intelligence and apparently working solo with a yet-undisclosed handler (everyone is guessing the handler will be Worf based on some hints the show left us). She is trying to figure out who stole some advanced technology that can be weaponized. For the...

That Critical Drinker review mentioned the plot tied into the TNG episode

Del Torro never getting to do Hellboy 3 is such a travesty. They even did an animated version of the never finished post Hellboy 2 scene where it showed this arctic base full of nazi robots and Rasputin's ghost appearing, which would have been the presumed plot of the next movie.

In a manner of speaking, it is. This is the final season.

Warp 9.99 is pretty damned fast in Trek and conventionally treated as about as fast you can go without shit getting weird (at least based on that Voyager episode). As for how fast, I’ve seen anything from 7900x the speed of light to 21000x. But the real answer is “as fast as the plot needs it...

Enough that most players are willing to do it. I was listening to an ex-NFL player on the radio and he mentioned that before the Super Bowl, the Disney reps will basically layout how they’re supposed to do it and what they get. They’ll even make the player redo the “I’m going to Disney...

Solid first episode, although first episodes have usually been ok for this series. Curious to see where this goes my thoughts/theories: 1) the kid will end up being Picard’s 2) Section 31 is involved somehow with the stuff going on 3) Episode seemed to focus on memories a lot, be it losing...

Here is a question then: Based on what you experienced in Dragonflight, would you rate yourself likely to play more once the next major content drop comes out? I think this is something Blizzard has to adjust to. At a certain point, you're going to hit content drought unless the players can...
