    They really are cable now. Every time they raised my bill i had to go through some song and dance bullshit about threatening to cancel before I got a magic discount. One time they said there was none and I called their bluff and terminated my cable TV package, then suddenly my mail was awash...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Constellation were dull overall - the only person who seemed to have some personality was Barret. All of them were also inconsistent with what they say vs how they react. This combined with a snooze fest MSQ made it hard to power through it. The Terrorbeast UC quests were the most interesting...

    Helldivers II

    It mostly has to do with weak points. Like chargers, if you destroy the armor on the front leg and shoot the exposed leg, it takes a shitload of damage and dies. So usually 1-2 railgun shots to leg, then I swap to my shotty and shot the exposed leg and it dies in like 4-5 shots Anti-material...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    If they wanted diversity in the game in terms of characters that's fine, but the main issue is they didn't do enough in regards to diversity of planets in that game or the gameplay loop itself "oh hey, it's a barren moon! Here is a_cave_00 and the same 8 POI recycled!" You can make the most...

    Zoe lost the Overwatch gig, can’t blame her getting other gigs Made me think of a funny random story, though. She did a stint during two of the Dota Internationals really early on, like TI2 or 3,?then vanished. During one of the DOTA tournaments a few years back, the hosts were doing a bit...

    Even if you don’t have a mic, a lot of players are on PC and can see the text chat I’ll usually say we should stick to main obj if we’re burning too many reinforcements and people usually acknowledge that. It’s easy to overlook how many reinforcements you actually have

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    The prime demographic for those types of shows are people who were kids or teenagers during a specific time period. They usually come out 2-3 decades after the era in question, just in time for the nostalgic target audience in question to be at their prime economic buying power (which...

    Nuke no. There’s no way you could detonate it close enough to literally smooth a surface. It would also irradiate the soil. Lasers would be too high an energy cost Your best bet would be sending robots that can prep a landing site

    Because the Spartans in game and in books specialized in different roles and the power armor is still literally doing the heavy lifting

    That makes it realistic as well - a tank without infantry support can be destroyed fairly easily

    Watched the whole thing. After seeing the season, I suspect the real reason they took out the sexist Sokka subplot on Kyoshi Island is that it was too similar to the stuff Katara has to go through with the North Water Tribe and would have just felt like a rehash. They just reframed it during...

    Chuk is actually correct. Disney was making a lot of money on those live actions until the recent string of bombs and bad press Think sports. If your coach wins the Super Bowl or World Series and then shits the bed the next year, they usually get a buffer year or two before they get booted if...

    Ya places like Vancouver or Toronto were major production sites for years. Vancouver alone became sort of a science fiction/superhero/fantasy filming hub. Stargate, Battlestar, all the Arrowverse crap, etc

    The Mandalorian

    Tax credits for filming in your state is bait that states use in the hopes that it results in supporting industry springing up in the state. Movies aren't just actors - they need people in the trades (carpentry/electrical), catering, security, artists. Also, if the location they are in...

    You need automation because of lag Mars is like 15 minutes lag, the moon is like 1 second or so You’ve played online games before - 1 second lag is an eternity when timing matters

    Helldivers II

    Fire weapons seem underwhelming. I’d like to see fire damage buffed vs terminids and electrical/emp buffed vs automations Rocket weapons also feel extremely situational and feel like they underperform vs the trade off for picking it as a support weapon

    Helldivers II

    Evac is too hard. The mobs all target the civilians and it is too easy to get to an irrecoverable overwhelmed state, which compounds the civilian killing issue even more in addition to your team getting killed Maybe mob spawns could be tied to number of successful evacs instead vs a time based...

    Been forever since I've seen the cartoon, but Katara helped him with learning water bending and Toph later helped with Earth bending. He learned fire bending last.

    I was reading more on it - the area the copter tried to land was relatively uniform in appearance. Essentially just a sand dune with virtually no rocks. It’s theorized that the landing sensors, with lack of surrounding context to better judge distance, misjudged the distance to the ground and...

    I wouldn’t be shocked if it was just voice work Even if they did show his face, it would probably just be a single scene and easier to fit into his schedule

    The final season was kind of odd - Syfy originally was going to give them a lot more episodes to wrap it up, then last minute the order got a massive cut and they had to rush everything in the span of a couple episodes

    Different scenario, though Landing on the boats and not tipping over is a pretty impressive challenge. However, the landing surface is ultimately flat (angled orientation due to the waves notwithstanding) The moon is covered with all sorts of shit like random rocks and boulders and mountains...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    The choice at the end of season 2 to completely change the setting was a good choice, but they sort of squandered the setting IMO. The whole concept of the Burn was dumb. What they should have done instead is doubled down on that TNG episode that had the plot point about traveling at high warp...

    Shield backpack is nice, but I like the guard rover for bug missions. The laser beam kills all the small bugs pretty fast (saving ammo) and you can kite shit with it since it keeps firing behind you even as you run and it is effectively infinite ammo.
