I would argue we're getting closer and closer to "low cap fishing vessel" type space already. Bezos sent Katy Perry and his wife up and it doesn't get much more adolescent and retarded than that. With a mostly proven AI "mother" running things and at least one synth/cyborg to provide local...

I think all the hybrids must have wifi. The security guy told Slightly and Smee they watched their eye feed and it was a surprise which wouldn't be if they had to physically download that once they returned. Curly and one of the other kids were present for the vivisection and didn't appear to...

I think it's supposed to be a couple decades before Alien 1, potentially after the ship left earth though so they would have no knowledge of what happens in this show. It actually has the potential to clear things up for 1 & 2 as to why/how Ash and Bishop had prime directives to preserve the...

They never gave a real clear shot of the surgical suite but it appeared they were doing normal life saving surgery on the brother, removed a collapsed lung, hooked up the removed lung to life support, and then put the alien tadpole in with the lung. I guess this allows them to keep the actor...

I'm curious what the deal with the medic is. Nothing about the story thus far shows any real value for individual lives. Other than being Wendy's brother he's completely expendable. Why extract a lung instead of just letting the Allen impregnate him normally. I suppose he's leverage over Wendy...

My guess for nibs is not that she's infected by the eye but rather she can't come to grips with having a synth body. The eye alien was just a trigger for her to notice her eye isn't human. Nibs body isn't her body so she'll self mutilate. It the writers are especially sinister she'll willingly...

Didn't they show the dead real child in the hybrid creation montage? I agree there should be a goal of copy without destroying original but I'm willing to enjoy what they've presented here as a first step and all the ethical questions it poses.

Agree. The preteen hybrids present a ton of opportunity for interesting plot. I'd bet the writers are using the aliens as mcguffins anyway with the "alien" being just one xeno present and the intro talked about the synth, cyborg, hybrid battle for immortality and nothing about aliens.

There's diversity but it's almost all background characters. Wendy, medic brother, Timothy, Boy prodigy, dame mother and other scientists are all white. The other hybrids are a mixed bag but more whiteish than not. Asian yutani is to be expected and I had no problem with the black cyborg...

Isn't there a training drill for bola vs BTs? I know people who aren't interested in 100% might skip those but they do a decent job for understanding how the game intends you to use weapons. IIRC the weapon description also says "infused with Sam's blood to counter BTs" or something like that...

I was wondering the same thing

In the 80s and early 90s when cable TV was taking off and really only like a dozen channels the Reeve movies were played all the time on WGN and TBS. Yes, the first one was '78 but it's not like you had to see it only in 1978 to have that be "your" superman. There's a reason Office Space went...

She pokes the kaiju in the eye with her morning star and gets stuck in it's eye lid. That's about all I remember of her besides the annoying screeching so to say she was underdeveloped and underused is an understatement.

That's how he's introduced but it's almost immediately revealed that he's being coerced.

He's in some crucial scenes but not in the way you'd expect and not really part of the Justice League. Actual fighting from him is maybe 15 seconds near the end with one cool combat move. And of all the characters that could use at least a line or two of dialog for backstory I thought he needed...

I didn't play CP77 until a couple years after launch but I thought it was just fine on kbm. The driving is no worse (or better) than other PC driving games and suffers from the usual kb issues; 100% left or right input vs a controller that can partially turn. If you know how to feather a turn or...

No idea if there's anything like it for consoles, but on PC there's the Seamless Co-op mod that allows you to co-op the entire game and not just bosses. It's "offline" so you don't get any "try finger but hole" signs or other online features but it's worked well the little bit I've messed around...

Probably not the intended solution but parking a truck full of corpses in the tar lake shallows used to count as disposal. Easier and faster than incinerating them one at a time. Once you leave the truck the cargo sinking mechanic should kick in and eat the truck/corpses. I also don't think...

I thought the same thing in Stranger Things. Probably even more so there because he was rocking 80s outfits.

As others have said, it's a pretty game that does a good job of capturing the HP world. Combat will be easy for anyone with gaming experience but as the game progresses you can choose from several methods to fight. The easiest probably being stealth herbology where your plant/pets kill anything...

I haven't been keeping up with all the after endgame movies but who are the protagonists for these upcoming avenger movies? Is it going go be Thor and Hulk, with strange, gotg, and I guess captain falcon?

This is pretty much my assessment as well. My niece had to explain a bunch of references to me. I thought it was gorgeous visually and really captured a live action video game world. It was probably the perfect setting for AI CGI since there's no uncanny valley for minecraft creatures. I just...

I think wind farm was the only zip line where I had to tweak the route a couple times. Keeping the lines in range while staying out of the farm no-build zone and the BT trigger zones took a couple iterations. IIRC it's really the only non-snow area you can't drive to so zip lines are a must up...

After rewatching the 1923 epilogue I'm fairly certain '44 will involve some conflict with the half brother from the widow. It's such an irrelevant thing for Elsa to mention that it has to serve as backstory for a new bastard half-Dutton. Add in Jack's child's claim as the eldest son of the...

Just reskin GTA:SA and call CJ an assassin and Tenpenny a templar. Easy peasy racially accurate black setting.

You assume my IT guys don't already know the fix and took a small hands off day.

I appear to be in the worst boat. Fucked by crowdstrike, can't safemode due to bitlocker, can't self lookup bitlocker key due to company policies, IT not taking calls until they know what to do. Guess I get a free Friday off.

Saw this last night. It was entertaining but like reviewers and others have said the story is probably better suited to a 10 part mini-series. By the end part 1 you can see how 4-5 separate stories might come together but for all of part 1 it's 4-5 separate stories. They're good stories and well...

Not as good as the conversion methods but normal Ultimate cards are on sale at Target. https://www.ign.com/articles/best-xbox-game-pass-deal-2024-target-ultimate-new

Well, it's free right now as part of the show's promotion so no risk. I'm not that deep into it but it does feel like it's a bit light on lore perhaps due to the MMO side of it, but could just as well be because my appetite for reading everything at a computer terminal isn't what it used to be...

Much more likely to have degeneracy like The Boys than the MCU if superpowers were real. But it's a no brainer. Any even remotely useful superpower would allow you to get/take Sweeny tier at will.

While I agree, I think they have a vision of the story they want to tell and are using major orders to tell it I think players might feel better if major orders were separated from the ongoing war map. Instead of saying "liberate these 5 planets in 3 days" have it be something like "kill 100...

This is the only significant pug issue I run into at medium difficulties. Use too many reinforcements, but that's not that big an issue in and of itself. But then people insist on closing every bug hole, die far away with no reinforcements left and lose out on some samples. Nothing game breaking...

I haven't messed with the Democracy Protects armor yet to comment on that passive but as it is, armor would have to provide a pretty noticeable benefit for me to change off scout. That waypoint radar is too useful for my playstyle.

If the rumored addition of mechs and tanks and whatnot are true I'm curious if that will only be for specific missions or if they add difficulty tiers or something. Assuming that mech guns are stronger than shotguns and assault rifles it might trivialize things.

What I heard was after the failure of the automaton liberation they put in an "easy" one but we got that to 95% in the first couple hours so they turned the dial to have a 20% decay rate per hour (up from 5%ish). As BrotherWu mentioned, that's probably fine during prime time but makes overnight...

You should be able to see the mission from the world map before you join. And if it's follow on missions you can see the map/briefing on the loadout screen.

Makes sense they have some kind of DM. They obviously have to manage progress somewhat dynamically. Last night steam was down 20% from the previous week and if we couldn't pass that mission there's no hope going forward unless the keep their hands on the knobs. Failing one or two general orders...

Both of which were in the book, iirc, Mariko for sure. If anything I kind of got the opposite vibe of the Portuguese using women as their vector into the noble houses; girl power on the surface but really just pawns in the schemes of men.
