EA is sadly doing ok right now

EA aint never going down 😔

EA summoning 20 million unnamed middle aged dudes to buy the new sports game every year

they also own so many IP's that they collected over the years

they could shit out remakes forever

Was gonna check Bioware's stocks, but it's just part of EA

crystal forum

the main problem is that these fucking companies will let an IP rot away for 30 years in the off chance that they use it again some day

rocky gale
# rocky gale Was gonna check Bioware's stocks, but it's just part of EA

Worst part of the whole Veilguard situation is the behind the scenes artbook they released which revealed that they were originally making the exact game everyone was hoping for and it had literally everything people were asking for, but for some reason during development they just decided to not do that.

crystal forum
#

that's why they don't want communities to make their own servers on old games

arctic talon
#

midway through development

rocky gale
#

Yea they were told to make it more like a live service game

#

It's just so annoying

#

Like the parts were all there, they were doing the thing we wanted, but then they just didn't

outer wave
#

Seems like the change in heads and producer/investor pressure changed something

arctic talon
#

well the game went through developmental hell

crystal forum
#

i know a game that was made by a company which got bought out and made defunct. the community had to go to court to rip away the IP from the owners since they shut down the servers and never planned on using it ever again

rocky gale
#

and this, I will never get over this

#

Calpernia is my favourite non companion character in Dragon Age

storm jungle

#

and then they just go "OH yea we were going to make her a companion in Veilguard, but then we just didn't"

winter vessel

rocky gale
#

No she got turned into Neve

outer wave
#

What the fuck's the point of owning an IP if you never use it

winter vessel
#

oh...her

rocky gale
#

Yea you can tell from the leg

#

Calpernia was an anti slavery mage from Tevinter who lost a leg in Inquisition. They just replaced her with Neve who is an anti slavery Tevinter mage who lost a leg

unironically the warp travel in star trek is the most likely system, bending space to move really fast is both physically possible and theoretically achievable

#

one of many in recent years

opaque coyote
#

of the Sci-fi genre

#

There are definitely others

#

H.G Wells moment

#

But those two come to mind when I think Sci-fi

#

Star Wars was a pioneer because most Scifi back then were either so cheesy that I think a cartoon rat would die.

#

Or so depressing that it just wasn't fun.

#

So having an inbetween was nice.

crystal forum
opaque coyote
#

"And then everybody died"

#

It's still inheritely ridiculous

opaque coyote
#

But in general, people don't like being reminded that life fucking sucks

#

and is unfair

#

well most of the time

#

Sometimes you need catharsis

#

and sometimes you need something to ignore the problems.

#

How does the quote go again.

Some art should comfort the disturbed.
And disturb the comforted.

plush mason
#

the shift from utopian sci fi to dystopian is a interesting phenomenon and shows how the view of the future changed post 21st century

opaque coyote
#

And some art should just be comforting.

opaque coyote
#

"Hey, maybe life isn't sunshine and rainbows, but it isn't killing puppies either."

#

Well there were definitely others beforehand.

But Star Wars was the most popular for Scifi

#

I mean most other scifi things before Star Wars were uh

#

depressing (minus Star Trek)

So could be feasible if you're stuck in a desert planet

millennials having lived through dozens of "once in a life time/century" events staregryn

opaque coyote
#

Another cool thing is One Piece

#

Where in a desert kingdom, they actually did have a way to control the clouds

opaque coyote
#

but the problem is that if you use it to gain rain now.

#

You kinda fuck over any future rain

#

Because you used the clouds up and you had to wait longer.

#

So it was a thing to use sparingly

crystal forum
#

countries do control rain irl

#

they spread salt in the air with planes

i think the emirates do it

Cloud seeding is real

#

China does it lol

opaque coyote
#

It isn't, it's similar to a cucumber

it's also extremely bad for the environment since that water isn't coming from nowhere

opaque coyote
#

apparently tastes similar to a cucumber as well

opaque coyote

turns out the more we try to control the environment the more we end up fucking it up

check out the aral sea

they knew that would happen

they just decided it was worth it

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

the question on if it actually was

#

is uh

#

well

#

I'll leave that up to you but imo no

opaque coyote
#

Mainly to buy precious time for us to switch to alternative fuel sources

crystal forum
#

soviet method of solving problem

opaque coyote
#

Since it kinda acts as like... a balloon being constantly filled with air

#

Once it pops, unless if we switched, things are gonna quickly become fucked

#

and there's also the scenario that companies are gonna bel ike

#

"Well global warming is solved temporarily. Time to switch back to oil"

#

and then when we stop artifically seeding the environment

#

...

#

well it becomes more extreme than any animal could ever adopt to

#

But if we manage to successfully switch to an alt. fuel source while the environment is held back,

crystal forum
#

we will get to live the snowpiercer fantasy

#

Hmm, Controlling the weather seems like a very risky gambit

We could successfully get past the harshest effects of climate change

How do I say this...

It's the best bad plan

more like blow up the house because the trash can is on fire

it's a terrible plan

"Okay so there's a 50% chance the house is now fully clean and renovated"

"Or it blows up"

#

50/50 gacha pull for long term environmental success

opaque coyote

hope you get the limited and not the standard

but yeah it's basically an emergency solution

hopefully we won't have to resort to it

oh who am I fucking kidding?

#

would be cool if all this stuff wasn't explicitly used to put water where there shouldn't be water

opaque coyote
#

Does anybody know JL: Gods and Monsters

#

I think it has the best "morally grey" superman approach ever.

#

I also like the movie

#

It's too bad that got fucked over by the audience

#

I genuinely wish it had a sequel

#

but like I said

#

lack of people watching it

#

why do all the good movies have to suffer like this

#

firstly this

#

then Transformers One

#

If you haven't watched, highly suggest y'all do

#

It has a Superman deconstruction actually done in a fresh and more interesting manner than just a super tyrant

#

I think it successfully did what Man of Steel and BvS tried to do.

#

Make a darker Superman that still maintains the core of his character.

#

This Superman is more pragmatic but still has the hopeful core.

#

It's... interesting but also depressing at the same time.

#

Because we know our Supes would've tried anything. Done a more creative solution like flying him into Space.

#

But he is just lesser than the OG one. More pragmatic but less powerful.

#

So he does the only thing he could do...

#

But he still has his humanity.

#

More details that I like are:

#
  • The pilot using the nuke asking for forgiveness knowing what he's about to do. And just accepting Superman's help without a fight. He doesn't want to drop a nuke on a city where there's still people.
#
  • How this Superman attempts to calm the kid down and try a more peaceful solution
#
  • How he just... sighs. After what he did. His obvious guilt and sadness, but his lack of tears show that he has made similar choices before.
#
  • Ignoring the buses and the people screaming. A form of Triage. He is clearly hurt by their turmoil, but he is also struggling against the winds. Stopping the main threat is more important for him right now.
#
  • How the Brainiac kid knew what he was gonna do. Fully. Superman stared him in the eyes before killing him. This broken, scared kid. A kid with the power to destroy the world.

# winged jacinth Lame, diamond shark is a hilariously cool name

Clan Snow Raven got pissed off that Clan Sea Fox—notorious merchants—outplayed the Snow Ravens, who were fiercly competing with the Sea Foxes for a lucrative trading deal.

Seething, the Snow Ravens would eventually retaliate, tasking their scientists to genetically engineer a ocean-borne predator—the Diamond Shark—to drive the Sea Foxes totem animal to extinction. The Diamond Shark would successfully accomplish this task in a short amount of time. The Sea Foxes, instead of retaliating in kind, simply acknowledged the Diamond Sharks superior characteristics—and would successfully petition to change the clans name shortly afterwards.

Speaking about lore:

However, when Grekh saw me working on my notes, he assured me that felinids not only exist but are the form of humans he most respects. He tells me has has fought agaisnt them and found them to be the most efficient killers he has witnessed in a Militarum regiment. Apparently, they show a lethal cool in the face of even the most brutal opposition. When I asked if they were bestial in appearance, Grekh revealed that he finds it difficult to distinguish one human from another and that felinids, to his eyes, looked no different from me

Seems more like the idea of them being some hairy ugly creeps is a way of dealing with the truth exercised by some insecure w40k fans, afraid of exposing their internal cat girl lover 😛

outer wave
#

Horrible but funny

outer wave
#

LMAO

#

I really dont get the idea that this is some truth that some 40k fans made up; I would absolutely expect felinids to not look pretty nor like actual cat girls

inland cosmos
# celest dome Its a Kroot that say it...

Until it's something with eyes, it definitely can tell if a creature has hair or not. Like, I can definitely say that sphynx cats and Siberian cats are totally different in their appearance.

gaunt lily
#

memes aside, youd think a race that crosswires human and feline DNA would be the result of the genetic engineering of the dark age of technology. People intentionally making cat people would probably be aiming for something that looks appealing to human sensibilites

inland cosmos
#

or that a cat is a creature totally different from a dog

if nothing else i cant imagine the alfabusa cat tearing through enemies most regiments would tremble at as quoted by the kroot... the mental image is just kinda comical like the rabbit from monty pythons lol

The fact that GE keeps getting its teeth kicked in by Rebels

#

Means people usually say IoM has a better chance

#

But an odd equilibrium view has also emerged

#

In essence: if GE ever fights IoM, all of human Civilization loses because of the Nids/YuZhang Vong/Orks/Chaos all taking a chance to run rampant instead.

Damn now I'm all spooked thinking about space

#

Like what do you mean that's it's standard orbit, what do you mean it takes 11,400 years to do a single orbit.

Wait, this a new planet we havent seen yet?

and if you think Sedna is bad

…wow

And then the other two are fucking

#

VP113

rocky gale
#

They aren't planets

opaque coyote
#

Asteroids

raven stone
#

Oh?

#

Ah

rocky gale
#

Sedna is a Dwarf planet

opaque coyote
#

Dwarf Planet similar to Pluto

#

Yeah

#

Second try

#

Let's goo

rocky gale
#

and the other one translates as "The Goblin" I think it's too small to even be a Dwarf Planet

outer wave
#

Damn we really got more orbiting celestial bodies in our solar system than I realized

#

Very cool

rocky gale
#

Their classification is Sednoid, because Sedna was the largest and discovered first

#

Sedna having the rathuum nodes in Warframe is funny

Talking about stellar phenomena
Alpha Legion - apparently even the real life star Alphard has some sort of second planetary body/shadow behind it or something like that.

arctic talon
#

It’s in the ass end of nowhere but the Grineer setup a gladiatorial arena lol

plush mason
#

more than enough time for orbits to realign

arctic talon
#

Well I guess Keyla specifically set it up rather then the Grineer empire but still

opaque coyote
#

Oh that is a bad image

raven stone
arctic talon
plush mason
#

that too

arctic talon
#

For her own good

raven stone
#

Heh

But that’s like

Half the Grineer bosses lol

I have to say her design looks like a certain Austrian painter lol

Her hair? Yeah

not a single grineer boss isnt a massive egomaniac

arctic talon
#

Eh

#

Krill and Vor are both

#

Normalish

plush mason
#

Vor wanted to become a near god by giving us to the queens

raven stone
arctic talon
#

Yeah but he also wasn’t overconfident

#

It’s not like Tyl, Keyla or Vay Hek

plush mason
#

yes he was, us killing him showed that. he fully expected us to die to the bomb

arctic talon
#

Where they tell you where they are

#

To come fight them lol

#

That’s ego

storm jungle
#

I think it was like

#

Destiny 2 that made me realise

#

"WAIT THERES MORE PLANETS THAN 8 IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM?"

#

I never knew moons were a thing lol

rocky gale
#

The Dwarf planets

arctic talon
#

Like

#

Vor gives up on trying to do anything to us after we remove the Ascaris device

#

I mean yeah its also a fucking bomb

#

but that was just a failsafe

#

we literally hunt him down ourselves

#

rather then him actively going after us or taunting us

arctic talon
rocky gale
#

Tons of moons as well

arctic talon
#

Though Nessus is an exoplanet

plush mason
arctic talon
#

iirc

#

Titan was probably my favorite vanilla D2 expansion

#

I liked the giant archologies and oilrig look + the ocean

storm jungle
#

same

#

I was like "woah its kamino!"

#

wait no that was another water planet

arctic talon
#

LOL

plush mason
arctic talon
#

the new pacific arcology is def inspired

#

by Kamino lol

rocky gale
#

Nessus is a centaur, don't ask me why the classification is called Centaur, it just is

arctic talon
#

Esp with its underwater portion

#

where it becomes narrower near the bottom

rocky gale
#

I think it's to do with their position and the instability of their orbit

arctic talon
plush mason
#

yeah the sentient forces in the new war where a shadow of their full power

arctic talon
#

*Sentient

rocky gale
#

But like that's for the classification of what a Centaur is, but no idea why they went with the name Centaur

arctic talon
#

The Sentient forces in the New War were the left overs of the invasion fleet and they still bashed the origin systems teeth in lol

plush mason
#

yup

rocky gale
#

Oh, Centaurs typically exhibit characteristics of both Asteroids and Comets, hence centaur

arctic talon
#

oh

#

so its a hybrid

#

neat

vagrant fox
#

I fucking miss Titan 🫡

arctic talon
#

The wind effects were also fun lol

#

I liked watching the physics on cloth objects on Titan lol

vagrant fox
#

I wish we'd gotten to explore more of it, seeing things move in the campaign was fun

plush mason
#

Orokin era Grineer look a lot like modern era

arctic talon
#

tbh

#

They look less rotted

#

but their armor is def really similar

#

its also different from the other Orokin era design we got for them lol

vagrant fox
#

Looked much taller and more typical orokin gilded, I expected a bit more tbh

#

handsome squidwards or something

arctic talon
#

The new grineer armor designs in Old Peace are based on the female orokin era grineer armor from the intro

#

rather then the male one where its similar to the butcher armor

hey do y'all think my teacher would count road rage as a form of violence

plush mason
arctic talon
#

its violent behavior

#

but its not necissarily always violence

#

is what I'd consider it

#

the same way screaming at someone isn't necessarily violence

#

though if it escalates to anything physical yeah its violence

plush mason
#

yeah

#

its violent behavior and if it happens often its a good indicator of anger management problems

rose thorn
#

gotta do a presentation on a type of violecne we havent covered and i am not in the head space to do something like slavery lmao

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

i was gonna jsut do vehicular violence in general but most papers i found are just 'murder with a car'

plush mason
#

that is what it is normally yeah

rose thorn
#

idk what its called when people run over animals and people with a car because they think they can egt away with it

queen laurel
plush mason
#

even a small car weighs almost a ton and is little more than a self propelled battering ram

rose thorn
plush mason
#

not many people can survive being hit by something like that directly

queen laurel

yeah full throttle that thing is gonna shatter someone's bones

I once saw a 240p video of someone recording the airplane wheels that were driving to take off or land

And then it gets misted

arctic talon
#

New racist cephalon goes crazy

rose thorn
#

How is this case an example of, or how does it relate to, a "wicked problem?"
To answer this question, you might think about the various actors and global systems involved.

how can i link road violence to a bigger problem

#

oh fuckin

#

car companies making cars bigger = power complexs = more road violence

I do think its interesting how much DE likes the evil oppressive empire that causes mass pollution and likes the colors gold

#

between the Orokin and Ode

plush mason
#

Ode seem to favor silver/grey tbh

#

gold and brass is more of an acent color

arctic talon
#

fair

#

I do love their weird masks and stuff

#

its a good look

plush mason
#

yeah

#

and Synod would fit in with the Orokin very well

#

dude is out here making everyone worship him as a god and taking everything the planet has to offer for himself

the oil stuff is also gross as hell in a good way

tbh

mossy peak
#

is a sister of battle, aeldari soldier, tech priest, 2 pskyers and a guardsman taking down 5 chaos marines at all feasible lore wise

late osprey
#

2 psykers alone could easily do in 5 chaos marines

#

the other 3 just seal the deal by being a decent distraction

#

the favorite common psyker ability pointing at someone and making their head literally explode, there's nothing any marine can do about that without supernatural protections of their own (purity seals, chaos charms, etc) which are not guaranteed

sly ivy
#

The Eldar would shit his pants & die and the guardsman would just die but psykers and tech priests have insane power ceilings

sour hornet
#

Yrliet can hold her own for the most part, but the two psykers could mash the marines flat, or blow out their brains, or invert their organs, or cause them to incinerate from inside out, etc.

#

The Techpriest is made mostly of alloys and composites and carries plasmaguns and meltas. Easily capable of dropping marines like flies.

#

It is a misconception I see people make—that because Tech Priests are 'priests', they are incapable of defending themselves against dangerous foes.

young pecan
#

I thought one of the most commonly sought augments were those that made you more dangerous

#

Aside from those that help with your duty of being a tech priest, that is

sour hornet
#

Those are almost always one and the same.

assuming its an eldar guardian

and not like an aspect warrior lol

#

But its more then feesible

#

esp with 2 psykers

#

if its just 1 psyker its still very easy lol

#

for the guardsmen it depeneds entierly on what gun they have

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

if its a lasgun they're deadweight aside for distraction

opaque coyote
#

Although we probably won't do FTL with our

#

current knowledge of physics

#

we could at least reach the moon

#

or mars

arctic talon
#

SoB, Techpriest, Eldar guardian and psykers can all do it with their entire selection of guns aside from small las weapons for the techpriest ig

opaque coyote
#

Asteroid mining would fulfill a lot of our resource shortages

#

they contain a lot of valuable stuff

#

and we got a fuck ton of asteroids

||assteroids||

opaque coyote

all five if they're really lucky and don't catch a bolt to the head

Like for the guardsmen they've really really really got the short end of the stick

in terms of average weapons

Fair enough. Never really a joyful topic though

pearl brook

Memento mori

Goes hard even after more than 2000 years

But still not a wholesome sentence

#

I have enjoyed living far to much for the inevitability of death to excite me

raven stone

I accept the fact that I should have done more with my life.
In the same way that, rather than being excited or fearing death, I just know it comes at some day.

pearl brook

Fair enough

#

Cassia isn't a psyker but yes

#

shes underpowered

#

if anything compared to lore

#

As a navigator looking into her eye is death

mossy peak
#

navigators aren’t pskyers?

arctic talon
#

they are not

#

they do not interact with the veil

storm jungle

though they can do things similar to psykers

storm jungle
#

that shit can literally wipe you from existence

arctic talon

its through their third eye

Cassia opening her third eye should instantly kill/cripple anyone in front of her

lmao yea

arctic talon
#

Do you think

#

dark heresy the CRPG

#

will have an exact 1 to 1

#

of the fear and shock table

storm jungle
#

honestly probably

#

its the same system innit

arctic talon
#

It is the same system

#

they directly mention fear and shock

#

I would be shocked if they kept the table an exact 1 to 1

#

since they did redo the perils table for RT

storm jungle
#

well i guess its plausible

arctic talon
#

also I doubt insanity and mental traumas will be added

storm jungle
#

yeah nah

#

its too bothersome

rocky gale
#

on the Tabletop Dark Heresy plays a lot less power fantasy than Rogue Trader does

arctic talon
#

I would like to see the insanity and trauma

languid meadow
#

I bet they'll just use the normal trauma system sadly (I want to have a heart attack mid fight)

arctic talon
#

from the Tabletop to an extent

#

make it more narrative then mechanical

#

Fear and Shock is core to combat though

arctic talon
#

so I'd assume it'll stay around but be toned down

rocky gale
#

Like Rogue Trader you could be expected to fight a Space Marine and live, while Dark Heresy even at higher levels you could still get one tapped by a lucky ganger with a stub revolver

young pecan
#

Dark Heresy sounds like it's just 40k but if you weren't obviously a writer's main character

rocky gale
#

Yea the Inquisitor you work for is the main character, you're the goons

#

Like in the rulebooks there isn't even a section for giving stats to your Inquisitor because they're so powerful it's just assumed they'd win

#

You handle shit they could deal with easily, but don't have time for

Navigators are too precious

i’m just going fuck it and clicking on what looks cool

and it’s not working

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

but yeah the intent def isn't that

dapper gyro
#

Using Nav as an utility allows the Imperium to use so many other things as weapons.

young pecan
# mossy peak and it’s not working

That's fair, I would do the same but putting something on my character without understanding how it works irks me so for most of early game level ups I would be sitting there for like ten minutes

#

Granted, my bio psyker RT has seemingly turned out like dogshit but that's alright

#

He's at least semi tanky with utility which still works

cerulean wagon
#

RT didnt use basically any of the rules

arctic talon
#

this is true

#

but they mention fear and shock in one of their interviews

#

which is why I'm wondering how they'll adapt it

I do like how Vulkan went no destroyers

I like space marines that are cunts

and his legions destroyers got around that by making the most horrific meltas they could possible

because of how much they didn't like being told to stop

i forgot who were the salamanders who commited such horrible warcrimes they were disowned

They formed a company post heresy
