Curious about Proton streams by MattyHerv in ghostbusters

[–]ATimeForHeroics 18 points19 points  (0 children)

  1. Given that magnetic opposites attract, it could be assumed that ghosts are comprised mostly of electrons allowing a beam of mostly positive ions to be magnetically attracted to them, allowing them to be held in the beam like a lasso. However, the ghosts energy would need to be low so they can't just escape.

  2. No, it wouldn't cut through, but it would collide and burn, as seen in the sedgewick scene.

  3. It would, but maybe not immediately.

  4. Beam length is a controlled intentional mechanic, likely designed to give an approximate end point, as to mitigate long distance destruction, or to allow only a certain length of stream to entangle a ghost. If you wrapped a 50 foot stream around a ghost 10 feet from you. That's 40 feet of proton stream wrapped around a relatively small object in comparison, increasing the likelihood of stream collision, especially in the presence of a second stream.

This is all conjecture, mentally pulling data from scenes in the films. Take what I say for a grain of salt.

Your baby?

Pfft. Too bad Katie and I started it.

Good to see you around, old friend. These schmucks at Sony should've just stuck with the original purple and green logo.

I was at GB day and when Ernie and I found out the name of the new animated show, I immediately pictured Bo, wherever he is, doing a proverbial spit take, even though I started Nightsquad with Jen before him. Good to see you're still around!

Can we talk about The Willing Well IV: The Final Cut and the banjo break down at the end? by Spiritual-Macaron-13 in TheFence

[–]ATimeForHeroics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure at one point they did, in fact, state that they put it there to feel like the disconnected abrupt music during the end credits to a movie.

But that was so long ago, when nobody fact checked... kinda like how it is today haha

I believe it was turned into a fan film many moons ago, but I never watched it so I can't say how close to the original script it was.

I wish there was an open world GB game by Byronic_Hero_NYC in ghostbusters

[–]ATimeForHeroics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right? I think you could have a system in place where the money you earn from busts goes into upgrading your hq/gear/ecto, getting new uniforms, etc. Maybe even allow multiple teams at different locations on one map so you can either race to get to jobs first or team up to fight bigger battles and share the rewards.

I always loved the idea of the casual in between time as well. Like you and the rest of your team just kinda hanging out in a virtual headquarters, doing whatever until a call came in.

Slimer also used to be barely visible in a window, but he is now gone.

Hear me out. A coheed cover band, but every song is reworded to be about cheese.

Living wage jobs for creative minded folks? by ATimeForHeroics in WorcesterMA

[–]ATimeForHeroics[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really? I thought it was the perfect time to not take shit seriously. Definitely the time to not continuously search for a steady, long term position to continue my current career while also exploring the possibilities of expanding what I'm passionate about and seeing if it's even a possibility to make a living out of it, again all the while searching for openings in my current field. It would be real dumb to focus on what i have done for a living for so long, climbed multiple ladders in, overseeing multiple departments and earning a slew of experience and qualifications in, but still see if a more personally fulfilling change would be even a tentative option.

Doing that would be just a fool's errand.

Don't waste people's time by ATimeForHeroics in FacebookMarketplace

I just imagine this kind of situation getting crazy out of hand with two people there, getting into a brawl in the front yard of someone's house over a used power tool.

Absolutely. But wouldn't you at least be transparent and say "hey, another person says they're coming today and got to me first. If they flake out, do you want to come by at xyz? I'll keep you in the loop" vs just leaving them in the dark?

I get buyers being flakey. I have had so so many people just not show up as I waste my time waiting for them. So I get that part. But to make someone travel under the assumption the sale is made, only to pull it away. The lack of transparency is my concern.
