    The Astronomy Thread

    Realistically a moon colony always made more sense - Mars does have a few advantages (atmosphere even if thin and probably more water), but you need to prof of concept a lot of this sort of thing and a moon colony is a good way to do that since a lot of that same technologies have crossover...

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    I usually only show up for championship game posts and not the rest of the season. Pats lost so not much to say beyond it was a good showing post Brady even if they got owned by the seachickens

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    Jesus you sound like an old man in this post “these kids and their devil music!!!” Again: what actual football fan ever gave a shit about the halftime show unless they liked the artist or artists playing? Historically I watched the puppy bowl more than the half time show because watching a...

    What the past few pages of this thread are summed up: I never gave a shit about any superbowl halftime show until people told me this one was bad Who the fuck besides your girlfriends/wives have ever given a shit about the halftime show in the history of the super bowl? You watch it for the...

    Ashes of Creation

    From what I recall 1) Curt started the company in Massachusetts 2) Rhode Island dangled some state money in front of Curt to get him to relocate 3) Curt relocates to RI and staff has to move down there. Some employees get less than optimal housing changes as a result 4) Single player RPG comes...

    Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

    The actual book is out of print I think, but there is an audiobook where Robinson is reading the book in the character of Garak that is available I believe. I read it many years ago - from what I recall, the book is basically Garak writing a letter/communication to Bashir post-DS9 finale that...

    It’s a moderation nightmare, but they should bring back City of Heroes player made dungeons as a concept for MMOs.

    Dune Awakening

    They sort of address that with new PVE in this patch - besides dungeons, there are a couple new "outdoor" areas you visit. You can't fly there, but you can bring a sandbike. They've mentioned that in the next big patch, they plan to address PVP and part of that will be creating no fly zones so...

    Dune Awakening

    That does help, plus you get bonus damage and damage mitigation passively the more you level that tree up. I've been trying to split between that and crafting because the augments add a lot of perks to your gear as well.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    And Druckman has 0 involvement with BG3. Mazin, the other half of the showrunner combo for the TLOU show, was responsible for the Chernobyl mini-series (which was excellent). Basically whether this BG3 show will be any good will probably come down to how much WOTC fucks around with the...

    They aren't a major faction in New Vegas, but they're a threat to every faction in the US. House would want them eliminated if only because they pose a threat to House.

    Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

    I skimmed through the episode. The show is painful to watch because it's clearly aimed at younger people. Cirroc Lofton reprises his role as Jake (well, a holographic recreation of him anyways). Some half Cardassian half trill professor played by Tawny Newsome at the academy reveals she is...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    WOTC owns the IP, so that is probably why Larian has no input on the show. As for Last of Us, they adapted a game which had that shit to begin with.

    Dune Awakening

    The boss fights in the new dungeons are a bit more traditional in terms of MMO-style boss fights. They have phases and mechanic and some will summon adds. The lightning boss guy kinda pisses me off, though. You can learn the rotating electricity patterns, but trying to reload or healing slows...

    Fallout

    My predictions: 1) Enclave releases FEV in the vaults. Good chunk of the residents mutate, some escape. Enclave shows up and Norm, Stephanie, and maybe some others get taken to Colorado (Claudia, Chet, etc). Norm and Stephanie act as our POV at Enclave 2) House proposes a mutual deal with...

    Riot Games MMO

    The last MMOs where I played mostly because of my guild was New World and Dune if you want to count that - both had core mechanics that required a coordinated group to do effectively. But that is also a double edged sword because if people stop playing, you’re bored because there isn’t a whole...

    Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

    Did you forget Cassidy was pregnant with his kid? He does. I forget how long, but it’s like a decade tops later. I never read that particular novel, but I think it was referenced in a later novel I read. It’s been forever since I read them and I don’t recall much. Only plot points I...

    Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

    You joke, but Avery Brooks was reportedly angry about how they ended Sisko’s story because he felt like it was inadvertently playing into negative stereotypes by effectively making him an absent father and is supposedly one of the reasons he never reprised the role

    Riot Games MMO

    Early MMOs were basically proto-VR chat where you can fight orcs and dragons. That was a big part of their appeal. Then people realized hell is other people and wanted a more curated experience with endless content drip There is still a market for MMOs, but I do think they need to evolve...

    Dune Awakening

    The lansgrad revamp is good. The dungeons are a challenge in terms of the boss and melee is kinda fucked on bosses. Bosses don’t have shields so you mostly use guns to avoid aoe. Leveling specializations will take time, but there are some low hanging value picks you can get fast. Like...

    Fallout

    There isn't much of a risk of running out of lore/factions. I doubt we're going to get some 10+ season thing like Walking Dead. Besides, Bethesda isn't going to let them perma kill any given faction

    Fallout

    Season 3' story is really going to hinge on if Purnell and Goggins are game for more than 3 seasons (their contract is only for 3). Season 3 is supposed to start filming soon. If one or both of them decide 3 is enough, then they'll need to completely wrap up Coop and Lucy's story by the end of...

    Presumably Steph was told by Hank what phase 2 was and how it would shake down. Although unless there is an escape hatch in the overseer office, not sure what her plan is to actually escape or survive (since presumably phase 2 involves FEV) Season 2 was a continuation of season 1: Ghoul...

    Ashes of Creation

    Rallos Zek was fine because it was a single server that offered PVP to people who wanted to engage with that type of content. PVP specific servers are a great idea The problem isn't that, it is some devs trying to make mandatory PVP with no opt-out their entire game
