    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Directors / cinematographers are such faggots for parallelisms.

    If they did this for the whole episode I'd rewatch it.

    I was really hoping for a Sean Bean cameo.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    This is like, a totally different scene than what I got to see. I had my brightness cranked to max on my TV, had fucking clothes draped over the small light from my sound system / electronics and still couldn't hardly see shit

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I enjoyed the episode, but agree with the general consensus here. There are so many more interesting and clever ways it could have gone and too many scenes were too dark to be enjoyable. I do think if there is anything that could motivate GRRM to finish the books it was this episode and...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Any strategy against the night king's army relies on a fundamental limitation to his mana reserves, which makes no sense in the context of the show. But if it did, the correct move would be to constantly harass the army of the undead as they marched south, cutting apart their troops and making...

    Maybe. I'm sure they test impact-response still even if they don't do it with a human in the loop.

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    I agree to some extent. I want to see some shit. And it's not like they can't just say the ancestor is crazy and thought he was fighting aliens/demons/monsters/whatever, or that the Old Gods had monsters anyway. I'd love to have a hyper-fantasy treatment of ancient Indian religion, fighting...

    ‘Anyone relying on lidar is doomed,’ Elon Musk says – TechCrunch *laughs in 128 layers* Lidar tech is blowing up, some of the solid state stuff on the horizon is going to be yuge, but the current tech offers sensing that fits very nicely in the gaps between ultrasonics, radar and optical...

    Interesting thread on the DC-Baltimore Boring loop. Obviously a two lane highway sunken into the ground that services 2k cars a day doesn't make that much economic sense, but it'll be a great proof of concept that could scale up in the future if it goes through.

    Running

    Read the first few chapters and did some of the exercises in the book. Did a run last night following some of the advice in the book that specifically talks about running form, standing tall, engaging glutes/hips etc and had a much improved running experience. It's funny because there's nothing...

    Jedi Fallen Order (By Respawn Entertainment)

    Just preordered five copies that I might re-sale if they run out of pre-ordered copies. jk based entirely on that trailer they're going the QTE-heavy jedi-light route and not the puzzle-shooter-holy-shit-i-feel-like-an-actual jedi Jedi Knight route. Even the story element seemed lame. You...

    A few months old but I had never seen it. I'm really surprised the speed at which the fairing descends is so low and the speed parallel to the ground is so high. I wonder if the job of captaining that ship is the most fun sea-captaining job of all time. You're basically pulling off a Jack...

    As an update I did the above stuff I said was doing this week and my "runners knee" symptoms have almost entirely cleared. I also developed an increasing level of lower back pain just above the hip. I've been ignoring it until this morning where I did some research and think it's related to...

    SLS is never going to do anything useful because it's going to get delayed until it is shit canned. I think i have an avatar bet with someone saying so. Maybe @LachiusTZ ? I agree with your point about it being the kind of egregious fuckery that will motivate congress to stop treating nasa as...

    What's annoying is that as far as I can tell there's not much information about what she's done. But I haven't really looked into it. I couldn't find any publications that she's the primary author in and yeah, her commits to the codebase have been miniscule. It really does look like a case of...

    The Beresheet moon lander took this right before impact: Interesting that they're talking about it being the IMU's fault. IMUs are generally very reliable and proven unlike most tech on space stuff.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I don't know about playable, but it seems like in February 2019 they added the persistent universe, which to me was the minimum threshold to have a "playable game". I've always thought that when they added a basic game that allowed you to play the game, earn wealth and spend that wealth on...
