The next mission to Venus that actually goes onto the planet is more likely to be a flying thing than a surface thing. The surface is a very difficult technical challenge due to the extreme temperatures and pressures. The upper atmosphere is more Earth like in terms of temperature and outside...

The worst type of feature creep is the "promised feature but it becomes hard to actually implement as promised". The promised ones are where you run into trouble, because if you over promise and under deliver, it can be a pretty rough death blow to your game in terms of playerbase perception...

No one gives a shit about the VP once they are VP, but people do care about VP during the campaigns since they can become major distractions and sabotage the campaign as a result

At some point I want to go back and play the missed content, but they've changed so much I would have to read guides. Been playing some Star Trek Online since S3 Picard got me interested in some Trek stuff. Game is pretty janky, but the space combat is cool and the Dominion/DS9 themed episode...

With the exception of really ancient shit that used isometric perspective/was effectively 2D, virtually every MMO EQ1 and onward allowed movement while melee attacking. Like others stated, this reeks of mobile game ported to PC

That honestly is my biggest concern about it. AoC seems like a checklist of "shit that personally annoyed Sorcerer in Archeage" in terms of a lot of the design and a chunk of that has proven, in the western market, to be very unpopular. Primarily, losing your hard earned stuff when you get...

But that perception extends beyond just perception in the cognitive sense. Time in the respect of how your body or materials age is altered. For example, if I am traveling at 99% the speed of light, 5 years for me is 36 years for everyone else not traveling that fast. I would have only aged...

We know mass and speed can both effect how the passage of time is perceived by the impacted subject. We've been able to demonstrate relativistic time is real already, which means if you expand it to speeds approaching light, then the effect would be magnified. It doesn't prove time travel in...

In terms of the homecoming line

lol

At relativistic speeds, you would age at a rate slower than everything else. Granted we can't do that at the moment either, but it would be another method of traveling forward in time (so to speak) One thing to keep in mind is the Library of Alexandria, by the time Muslims had shown up, was a...

Boba refers to Jango as his father, then Sasha Banks replies “you mean your donor” and they get in a fight

Ocean content was a very large and fun part of Archeage, so not surprised he wants to replicate it

Boba Fett is a clone of Jango Fett, as are all the clones from the Clone Wars

Wintergrasp was the best PvP they ever had in the game, but too many little bitches cried about vehicles and they never did anything interesting ever again

Dark Side Smuggler is kinda funny too. Like that one sith where she is like “we can bang if you help me” and then you do after killing that Jedi lol

Additional thoughts

The MSQ also had clues on the next xpac. That odd letter Krile ignores and then Thancred talks to Urianger about “the client”

Even though Tina Turner’s main career was music, Thunderdome is still the first thing I associate her with

You forget that the TOS vs TNG+ division was a lot stronger back then , as it was very much a new vs older fan thing at the time To put it in perspective, less time had passed since the end of TOS and the movie Generations (25 yrs) than Generations to now. The fan base has aged and now the...

Thing that always annoyed me about Sith Inquistor is you become Emperor…then later on in future patches they’re like “lol you got kicked out”

Lower Decks live action - curious what the crossover plot will be. Holodeck makes the most sense

SWTOR gets an asterisk for the 1-50 story depending on your class. Everyone creams for IA story, but the regular sith or Jedi or trooper ones are kinda mediocre

Im just saying if time travel was possible, a unidentifiable person taking the sword is the perfect historical event for a time traveler to slip into as the unknown man, as it doesn’t disrupt the current timeline as we know it

Perfect thing of value to get to not disrupt the timeline: the Honjō Masamune. It is considered to be the finest Japanese sword ever created and a national treasure of Japan. It vanished in the aftermath of WW2 when it was supposedly handed over to the US Army rep, but the US claims the...

Allies had considered a strike on Russia at the close of WW2, but it was declined because there was no appetite for a continued war and outside the US, everyone was fucked infrastructure wise Hypothetically, if they had struck Russia, it’s possible Mao’s war in China may have also failed as a...

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!!!!
