  • There are certainly times I'd rather have 50 comments and 5 upvotes than 50 upvotes and 5 comments.

  • I think the female versions of my name sound terrible, so, no on that front.

    In general not a thought I've had aside from that. I've always felt comfortable with my gender/sexual orientation.

  • You'd have to advertise an anti-advertisement campaign. 🥲


    But seriously, I think most of this concern would fall under a subsection of a comprehensive Privacy Act.

  • Depending on how serious you are (but maybe not "police" serious) and also your financial situation, this is the kind of stuff a Private Investigator can do.

    • Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
    • Dave the Diver
    • Another Crab's Treasure
    • Cataclismo
    • Black Myth: Wukong

    (*note some of these were Let's Play's I watched instead of played as combat mechanics like Clair/Wukong don't interest me.)


    I also spent a lot of time with an old friend, Heroes of Might and Magic V, Tribes of the East.


    Edit/PS: Have to include Tactical Breach Wizards. Hilarious and very different take on the "Xcom-esque" genre. Great characterization and story. Requires a very different style of thinking to master it.

  • Pretty good series, pretty sure the author's an "acolyte" of Brandon Sanderson, so if anyone reading this likes the Cosmere you might like this series as well.

    Been on my "reread" list for a while but the list keeps growing...

  • Here's what I just got. (Brought to you by the wonders of mspaint!)

  • This is what I came to say if it wasn't already.

    Replace both leads with a couple that has chemistry but retains that slightly antagonistic spark and it would've made a good movie. I don't even have an alternate casting, just, "not them."

  • I was sad that the final three books were never adapted

    I haven't read the books, and that was the biggest hook for me. Such a cock-tease. Some day I'll probably read 'em, I'm familiar with the authors' fantasy books from way back when they used a single pseudonym, Daniel Abraham, and liked their stuff.

    But damnit, I wanted to see it onscreen!

  • Hey Daemon...

  • Are there gonna be 3 levels now? (Real time battle, planetary overworld, space over-overworld)?

    Presumably? There might even be a fourth layer if they go battle/planet/system/interstellar.

    Are the space marines gonna march in a phalanx formation?

    I doubt it. Round bases man, squares are for fantasy!But really, I assume they'll be in a skirmish formation.Facing is only supposed to matter to vehicles and armour, IIRC.

    Which space marine is gonna be the princess?

    I am! (Actually I love my 'nids so really I'd be a queen.)

  • My body is ready, my laptop isn't.

  • I started a Let's Play of that and liked it so much I quit early on and now it's on a (lengthy) backlist of games I want to actually play. It looks really fun and I love the aesthetic.

  • Watched it near release, loved it. +1

  • "Defend" is a strong word for it but I believe they're talking about distancing themselves from Carol by moving the entire town away from her and only maintaining contact via phone/indirect means.

  • PS: Dexter: Resurrection was surprisingly good.

  • Best New Seasons:

    • Andor S2
    • Severance S2
    • Foundation S3
    • Invincible S3


    Best New Shows:

    • Murderbot

    (I may or may not be a sucker for sci-fi...)


    No clue how voting should work but from what I've seen in comments thus far making a post, locking it, and tallying upvotes after a set duration seems like the best of available options.

  • Lots of imaginative reasons:

    • Firstly a realistic one, 100% mortality in a virus designed to kill is actually really difficult. Whereas a spreader with a near 0 mortality has the chance to actually spread. (The game Plague INC. does this well.)
    • The population is (relatively) intact, and they could have "uses" for said population after the fact. (Slaves, food, experiments, etc etc etc.)
    • The aliens that spread it could themselves be hive, and they themselves could have been targeted by yet another species, and spreading it as part of their newfound need to procreate as a hive. It may not have originated where the signal was sent from.
  • Also highlights that the hive could simply be a weapon used as an opening salvo. A first strike, by an alien species.

    They send a repeating code to a planet that converts virtually the entire population into extreme pacifism. And it makes them utterly complaint?

    Could be they were worried humanity would become a threat to them eventually so figured out a way to eliminate the threat, and/or they've cleared a wide open path to taking over Earth at their time of choosing.

    One way or another, as a hive, Humanity isn't a problem like it would be with individuality.
