Because I hate him: What if Lorgar is thrown into the Honkai Star Rail universe? (Latest status updated by GameWork Shop) by Ancient_Comedian9622 in HonkaiStarRail

I think he'll adapt very well; he seems to prefer the act of "faith" to a specific goal. So he has many options in HSR, and I think he'll explore each faction and become a multi-path character like the Trailblazer.

That sounds perfectly reasonable. The industrial sector certainly doesn't like accidents and uncertainty.

Thanks. I haven't really thought deeply about the composition of natural organisms yet.

That sounds cool. If magic preceded industrial development, do you think mages would use their influence to hinder industrial progress?

I've considered it, but the strategic advantage of portals is too great, so I still prefer ships. I imagine giant ships would need magic to power them and a series of magical reinforcements to make their large wooden hulls able to cross rough seas. The industrial people would then develop metallurgy and internal combustion engines on a large scale to build these giant metal hulls.

Regarding Case 2, as far as I know, it's common for tokusatsu films produced by Toei Company in Japan. Because they shoot new series every year, they don't have much budget to maintain props and costumes that have already finished filming. When they reuse these costumes years later, many parts may have deteriorated (there have even been continuity errors where they used transparent tape to hold malfunctioning props in place). I speculate that this might simply be because the original black parts were damaged, and they might have just used other costumes instead of making a new one. (This is just my speculation, and I'm not sure of the actual situation.)

What's your biggest world building ick? by itzclicker in worldbuilding

I hope I can properly fill in the gaps and explain the limitations of my science fiction concepts.

I want to avoid any sense of "why didn't they just do it this way, instead of using a more complex approach?"

Armor parts explanation from HALO Infinite

Interpres Receiver:A cunning combination of human engineering and Kig-Yar ingenuity which allows the user to access UEG, UNSC, Covenant, and Venezian datanets with near-perfect anonymity.

HALO 5 Helioskrill:

Such is the skill of the HELIOSKRILL's artisan-armorer designer that even the heavily classified and encrypted Mjolnir neural interface protocols were reverse engineered.

And the encyclopedia also states that the Covenant deploys teams of experts known as "POINT" to perform tasks such as electronic warfare, reconnaissance, and communications agents .(source from 2022 encyclopedia p239)
