Scenarios like going back in time and giving Ancient Rome more modern tech wouldn’t mean they would have survived into the present, in a form we recognize. Think Star Trek and prime directive. Part of the reason they dislike tech sharing is a culture not ready for it may heavily misuse it...

I'd be more concerned about lead in the wine in ancient Rome - they used to purposely put lead into some types of wine as a sweetening agent lol Anyways, this conversation really needs to set what the "rules" of time travel are: 1) If it is purely linear time, then that means you can't...

Another alternative I have seen is you basically send out a string of probes to account for the issues with stopping or needing to adjust position in order to maintain focus. Downside is you need more probes and more material.

Lol no kidding. The only reason you wouldn't have watched Robocop/Predator/etc on HBO as a kid is because a) your parents didn't have cable or b) your parents sheltered your ass and watched you 24/7. Only kid I was friends with growing up that hadn't seen them had these ultra religious parents...

Does that apply to gravitational lensing telescopes, though? You essentially use the warped space surrounding a star to significantly boost your magnification abilities. In terms of linear speed, yes. But in theory if you could warp space you could potentially travel faster than light in...

Essentially. If you invented FTL and traveled 66 million light years away from Earth, then deployed a telescope powerful enough to see life on Earth, you could watch dinosaurs roam around

Not dead, but not as profitable. Curious that OW2 was announced right after Belgium had banned loot boxes. Execs at Activision probably got spooked and pushed for a non-loot box version of OW

Omniman needs a fatality where he literally flies around the world and destroys it, then goes home to his wife

It disappoints me because Indians Jones was what helped instill a love of archeology and ancient history in me, so I’ve always cherished that character and the original movies. Crystal Skull was already bleh and this sounds like it will be in the same vein as that

Ya, I’m seeing some scathing reviews. Most of them seem to center around “it doesn’t feel like the proper scope of an Indy” adventure. BBC review said it feels like fanfiction and Phoebe’s character is just constantly patronizing Indy. They also talk about a depressing ending, which makes me...

It's a smoothie that is marketed towards people who are horrified that a smoothie could be made from...animal milk!!!!

Finally watched second season. It wasn't as good as the first season, although part of that is they spend like 90% of the season at the zoo and it hyper focuses on the doctor dude trying to find a cure for the virus and the First Men's plans. Which is fine, but it felt too A plot vs B plot...

Kind of side related, but Disney is shutting down that expensive Starliner hotel/themed larp thing permanently in September

They’re going to need something big to placate the Playerbase, especially the ones that fork out money to attend. “Pve as promised in OW has been canceled” is up there with the Diablo Mobile announcement in terms of player hostility. Dragonflight, while improving on issues in prior xpacs...

Been watching Shroud play - looks fun. Like a Left4Dead horde mode of bugs, but you have an army of other players.

There aren’t that many Evangelicals in the US

There was a youtube series that covered societies or villains in fiction and tried to breakdown how they made absolutely no sense in terms of a viable entity that could actually flourish. Like Mirror Universe Terran Empire in Star Trek - they were constantly backstabbing each other (figurative...

Reminds me of that scene from 'Chuck' when Morgan lost all his memories of all the nerdy stuff he loved. He complains the prequel Star Wars movies weren't as good as the final three movies, then he asks if they made more than 3 Indiana Jones movies and they tell him 'No'. lol

Reading between the lines, it strikes me as a “OW2 isn’t meeting our expectations, so we’re going to scavenge content from the pve side to bring people back and use those existing assets”. It sucks because they could have made an Overwatch version of Destiny but instead we will probably just...

Been a while, but a few hints: If you come across an abandoned ship you can claim, you can claim it even if it isn’t repaired. That way you can repair it later or minimally repair it and sell it/salvage it at a station, or fix it up completely if you really like the ship There is a point in...

Real life Rad Away? Lol https://www.bbc.com/news/health-65595250

I think it will have PvP, but they’ll ditch the territory system like others mentioned The NW game base is solid outside of population issues. However, they would need to get cross server functionality in day 1 and you could potentially use instancing to relieve stress loads in some situations

They constantly change their outfits. I did notice the current model has some elements similar to her prior character, but it is different enough that they can’t claim she is copying the old character’s appearance

WoTC doesn't like elements that involve genocide, slavery, etc. Even if you make the elves all purple, they're still evil for the most part (traditionally anyways) and enslave/sacrifice other races. Some unpaid intern at Vox will then write some article about how they are racist, etc etc and...

GoTG has always been more popular than Antman. Not saying AM3 was good, but GoTG3 could have been just as lame and probably still pulled in decent numbers...initially anyways

Aka "tax write off/we don't have to pay residuals" like HBO Max did

I've been hearing that necromancers got giga nerfed...like their skeletons die in 1-2 hits and you can't keep minions alive now

She was hot in Stargate also

Hard pill to swallow for you all Bad writers aren’t some new invention born from current culture Bad writers have always existed. There has always been shit tv and movies. The only thing that has changed is decades ago, shitty stuff just faded away. Now you have thousands of dipshits...

I'd recommend you check out the Writing Prompts reddit from time to time - occasionally, some good writers will show up to flesh out a prompt and create something pretty decent

100% true. Final season especially was ass, the writers clearly wanted a “fascists lose!” ending but completely abandoned logic and good writing to make that happen. It was like that Stargate 200th episode special where there is like 100000 enemies between them and the gate and they only have...

I was working in a store and talking with a co-worker when Titanic had just come out in the theater and I made some quip about the only good part of the movie would be when the boat finally sunk. This lady in the store overheard us and she got the most angry look on her face and shouted "THANKS...

If you look at the quota thing, only 1 of the 4 categories are actual movie plot or actors. The majority of it is crew/studio related stuff and you have to meet 2 of the categories for best picture eligibility. While the forced quota thing is questionable for a best picture nomination...

We need more rule34 to verify this research

I wonder if that would extend to driders and Lloth and all that as well. Would kinda suck, could do so fun shit with that.

Looks like it will be the same arena, which had a revamp and a dumb name added. Trying to see what got updated - looks like it might seat approximately 3k more people than it previously did.

Moving "official" forums to Reddit/Discord has been a trend for a while now - Bethesda did it a couple years back

Back in the day there were programs that converted images into ASCII/ANSI art. I used one to make a splash screen for a BBS I tried running

They print less money if shitty. The single player ones have been under performing for years now. 13 and 15 landed with a plop. FF7R was able to coast off the success of the original FF7. YoshiP was heavily involved because FF14 had been very successful and they wanted to revitalize the...

Not bad...if it was a kid in grade school writing this
