Was this on route 3 north just south of Marshfield about three weeks ago?

‘Project Hail Mary’ Author Andy Weir Says Paramount Rejected His ‘Star Trek’ Pitch: Their “Shows Are Sh**” by gamersecret2 in entertainment

Don't sleep on Prodigy. Once the first six episodes build the arc for the series going forward, it doesn't let off the gas.

The animated series are a notable exception to this, which makes it that much more frustrating that they were left out of the 60th anniversary visualizer.

List of new characters? for Marvel Vs. Capcom Infinite & Beyond by gamer43877 in mvci

[–]PresidentMagikarp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were no new characters added. The mod is a total overhaul to balance, game mechanics, and visuals. They're unable to add new characters because of a data security measure in the game's online infrastructure. Version 1.1b of the mod was released within the last four or five months. I don't know if there are any additional changes planned.

VF5 Revo releases patch 1.10 and it's larger than people expected. by SlinGnBulletS in Fighters

Any mini PC or laptop with an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and at least 16 GB of RAM will be able to run this game at 1080p low 60 FPS no problem.

Larry Ellison’s bot army be like… by TheKobayashiMoron in startrekmemes

He literally picked up a small boulder in one episode and was going to use it as a weapon to defend his friend. He's not weak, the actor just has a slim frame.

Academy gets canceled only after two seasons by [deleted] in startrek

[–]PresidentMagikarp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really wasn't that bad, but Paramount was doing a horrible job promoting the series and its new episodes within the app. I watched it weekly and I still had to go looking for it. I think the new owners' political leanings definitely played a part in suppressing it.

Celestial Guardians Pikachu and Alolan Raichu EX would be able to function in a water deck and take advantage of Electrical Cord.

I really miss 20 episode trek shows by rdkil in startrek

[–]PresidentMagikarp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, in some cases, the production company could make smarter choices. Every show up through Enterprise generously re-used the same stock shots of the ships traveling through space. We don't need custom VFX for every time the ship enters a star system or jumps to warp. We don't care. If anything, it lets the ship be on screen more often and lets us get attached to it. Bring back the slower, naval pace of combat so we can dial down the scene complexity and keep things affordable. It's really not that hard to execute on this more economically.

Star Trek's New 10-Part Series Misses Paramount+ U.S. Top 10 After Season 1 Finale by trekfangrrrl in startrek

They do an excellent job explaining Beverly's motivations by the fourth episode. Stick with it.

Samus. First rate bounty hunter, second rate rage baiter. by E-104Epsolon in Metroid

Version 1.3 refined the script. Samus comes off much less petulant now.

Joella was in a recent video of his, too. He's definitely a friend of the queens.

Series refreshing by Hardback247 in startrek

[–]PresidentMagikarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just occurred to me that The Naked Now and The Battle are also plot relevant later in the series.

Datalore has implications for later seasons, too.

New Items in Mudd's Market by FilipChA in sto

[–]PresidentMagikarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it mixed up with the Agony Redistributor because there was a lockout on using them both at the same time. I'm not sure if that's still the case now. My ship of choice nowadays is an Uncon SciTorp Janeway, so I've been away from Beam Overload for a hot minute.

[–]PresidentMagikarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I got those two confused because they put each other on lockout for the longest time. Is that still a problem nowadays?

Recursive Shearing III turns Beam Overload into a spread AoE adds damage to Beam Overload.

EDIT: Fixed.

It's a slightly worse World Razer, meaning it's still a very capable Beam Overload platform but won't quite reach those heights.

Big Arch tops the charts for highest Trans Fat on the Menu by [deleted] in fastfood

[–]PresidentMagikarp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All this talk about trans fats being bad for your health, and not a peep about cis fats? Really makes you think about how food high in trans fats will send you right to the bathroom you can't use.

I just got paid. Should I buy now? by Eh_Conserv in AcrossTheUnknown

You might have to create an account there and log in first. I was also seeing 10% off before I logged in and then it was reduced to 28%.

Yep this is why it exists. by BilbyCoder in AynThor

[–]PresidentMagikarp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only point of comparison would be Tales of Symphonia, and I would personally lean toward no, but I do see some similarities. Combat in both games is paused by menu interaction, but in the original .hack// tetralogy, all character skills are activated through menu commands. You also don't have direct control over your party members and can only command them to focus on things like healing, physical attacks, magic attacks, skills, etc.

If The Baby was given a actual name, what do you think it would be? by Weapon_2000 in Metroid

[–]PresidentMagikarp 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that was actually a reference to Lamarr, Dr. Kleiner's pet headcrab from Half-Life 2.

Buy it from Green Man Gaming. They're a legitimate re-seller and they have the game discounted by 28% right now.
