    Yes, because people have always been able to convert people with rational arguments on the internet The science destroying part is pretty lulzy, considering a good chunk of the right wing are the cocksleeves of the Evangelicals, probably one of the most anti-science religious sects

    The Astronomy Thread

    I'm sure the planet reading will be something like "water was detected in the spectrum" and all the main media outlets will post clueless titles like "NASA CONFIRMS WATER EXISTS OUTSIDE EARTH!!!1!!!"

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    It's not like you can't find F-Troop anywhere. There isn't as big a market for 60 year old sitcoms as there used to be, which is why most of it is relegated to various cable channels or online. I remember a long ass time ago they used to play it on Nick at Night. A quick search online shows...

    Just avoid the politics forum, it’s an echo chamber where they occasionally get hungry and seek to get social points in the other forums. It’s sort of an interesting thing to watch certain posters try to one up others with how edgy they can be, or watch some get triggered by trivial shit in...

    This is actually a good point - this is the secret behind the “girl next door” phenomenon. The sweet spot is being the level attractive that is just above average, because that fuels the fantasy that they aren’t completely out of your league (even though they really are) There is also a...

    You conflate talent with success. The world is full of talented artists, writers, video creators, or gamers that never see financial success. Even in the looks department, there are tons of attractive women and men who never leverage that into financial success. She is successful because she...

    Good for her - make that money then cash the fuck out once you get your secondary income streams stable.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    The nebula episode is probably the "worst" episode of the season and episode 8 (it had some decent parts, but it sort of falls in with those older Trek episodes where everyone is goofy/acting out of character. Like the Bashir "James Bond" where all the crew are characters in the spy novel)...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    If you liked TOS through 90s Star Trek, then you'll probably like it. I think they saw the fan reaction to stuff like Orville and realized they needed to course correct from Discovery/Picard or risk losing the fanbase

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    That’s the real reason people are mad - SE has basically followed a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy with ERP. Also, Japan has some really strict modding / data mining laws apparently as well. Some dudes tossing up some blatant ERP party ads using mods is basically going to force SE to take a...

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    Episode had a ton of ToS callbacks. Uhura’s ear thing, the closeups on Pike with shadows like they did a lot with Kirk, the OG bridge noises, some of the dialogue in the ready room being taken directly from the TOS episode where they first saw Romulans, the OG Romulan theme music and the...

    Solid finale to the season. Probably the most solid debut season to a Trek series since TOS.

    That sucks, but at least it rules out completely broken characters or completely broken MP.

    Have you tried random MP with others? That could help rule out some things

    For All Mankind

    This was the Epstein engine in The Expanse basically- essentially some fusion powered engine that was somehow able to constantly accelerate with very little fuel usage. But in terms of physics, this isn’t very feasible at the moment Like was posted above, the thrust is from mass being shot out...

    They basically got DDOS by all the people trying to use visit - they said they were getting 15k inquires a minute. Balmung had an hour queue, probably from all the tourists trying to see if it really was a deviant cesspool

    For All Mankind

    That would probably be the finale of the show - achieving interstellar travel. They try to keep the show fairly grounded, though, so I suspect the biggest upgrade will be something involving anti-matter reactions (like the ship in Avatar). One of the many big hurdles for interstellar travel is...

    SWTOR

    More subs after F2P makes sense if you look at how gimped the original F2P restrictions were. Like they even limited your hot bars and crap. Wouldn't surprise me if people tried the game for free, realized the restrictions sucked ass, and ponied up some money to get rid of them.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    I'm wondering if the real reason is a bit more pragmatic: The actor didn't want to deal with the makeup requirements. That is a pretty common thing in Sci-Fi shows and a lot of actors really hate the process. You basically sit in a chair for 5-6 hours to get made up, then have to wear the...

    The techmonger one? I only have 2 pieces thus far, so I haven't been able to slap that on. I've been using the 3 piece "Lich King" set for the freeze damage bonus for now.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Poor Tifa 1) Cloud simps for Aeris in the regular timeline, even after she is dead 2) Cloud potentially dies in the new timeline Anyways, I do agree they will probably pull a "Glenn hid under the dumpster" with Aeris at the point from the original game when she gets shanked

    The Zenos voidsent had a unique model and the one we have seen uses that same model, so outwardly it seems to be the same one. As for the 12, the lore is supposedly in the 1st Astral era, there were mighty heroes and they became the 12. That is the generally accepted in-game lore that people...

    After struggling, I looked online for good techno builds since the old blight build seemed to not be as great anymore. I found a great one that uses the middle talent path with a little dip into the bottom one and involves double turrets, then trying to get certain perks that boost turret and...

    I think they mentioned that their currently plan is shorter scope arcs, so I would suspect maybe 2 expansion type deals

    I'm kind of curious what they will end up doing for a major arc. They have a ton of options, but they could also just putz around with mini-arcs or adventures until they decide on something that would extend through multiple expansions.

    They've hinted that at some point, they might do something that basically lets you go post-Endwalker storywise as a starting new character.

    I had this thing drop - it slaps pretty hard with a Blight bullet build. It you can land crit headshots, you melt bosses. Except the feral shaman super boss - fuck that guy.
