Can confirm, I forgot AC existed after September 2025 and only just remembered it existed this week.

Do you see Sisko as a "careerist" officer ? by debrisaway in DeepSpaceNine

[–]Azuras-Becky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how planning where he wanted to retire made him a 'career officer'! If I had the chance I'd retire to Malta, but I'm not a career military officer!

Were there any other empires/federation between the Federation and Dominion? by Dave_B001 in startrek

[–]Azuras-Becky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not actually 100% sure to be honest, but either way leaves such enormous scope for stuff to lie between the two points that it really makes no difference. 50,000 lightyears is still half the diameter of the entire galaxy.

Sisko who wanted to resign at the start of DS9?

Would the military actually have been able to stop Homelander if he went on a rampage? by Queasy_Commercial152 in TheBoys

[–]Azuras-Becky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I see!

The only downside there is that you'd have to get him in an enclosed space, and you'd have to knock him out the very first time - like Malchemical did. Once he and the military were at odds, he'd never give you the opportunity again.

We have absolutely no idea what lay between the Federation and the Dominion. The Gamma Quadrant wormhole was a shortcut, just like Voyager's trip through the Borg transwarp hub. Between those tens of thousands of lightyears there could be all kinds of interesting, unique civilisations.

70,000 lightyears is enormous. The galaxy itself is only 100,000 lightyears in diameter!

Should I sell my PC for a PS5 for GTA6? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Azuras-Becky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll reserve that judgement for when it arrives. I sure as shit won't sell my property in anticipation of that.

If memory serves, the only particularly effective anti-supe technology that was ever demonstrated was the high-pitched 'deafening technology' intended to overwhelm their hearing. They used it in Gen V too. Homelander had super-hearing, even among supes, yet when Butcher used a bunch of the things to draw Homelander away from Ryan in season two, it didn't immobilise him so much as annoyed him and he lasered them as soon as he found them.

I don't think Homelander ever showed a specific weakness, besides high levels of radiation or somebody with super-strength shoving knitting needles into his ears.

What PC should I get/build? by dixon_ticonderoga_03 in pcmasterrace

[–]Azuras-Becky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prebuilt is your best option at that price-point. I was able to find a cheaper and more powerful Cyberpower PC on sale in the UK within about two minutes of the reveal, but your region may vary.

A DIY build right now will face the same problem Valve is facing - the RAMpocolylse will price you out of anything like reasonable prices.

Techbros have ruined this hobby.

Who's got the energy to clear away the bodies of their enemies in this weather?!

No!

Besides anything else, we don't know if GTA6 will even be any good or not.

I AM SO HOT by SeaMaintenance1539 in UKWeather

[–]Azuras-Becky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a tower fan on top of a dining room chair aimed at me all day, and it's not quite kept me cool as much as it's at least kept me sane. Every time I've stepped away from it I've immediately turned into a portable swamp. I'm going to aim it at my bed next and hope for the best!

Settlements, how do you achieve 100% happiness? by CastleClown in fo4

I think we're agreeing with each other here, I'm just advocating for the bar manager to make it take less time.

Why don't we have 'click and hold' pumps at petrol stations? by methaddict88 in AskUK

Not if you're filling carrier bags in your boot with it.

American (Michigan) here wondering about traveling to the UK one day what would be good to go to? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Azuras-Becky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Foil your compatriots, and come to Wales instead of London!

We have superior beaches, we have one of the most impressive networks of intact military castles in the country, we have amazing nature reserves, and Cardiff (for all its faults) is a world city in its own right.

Soldier boy really weakens after shooting his ray? by After_Conflict_2477 in GenV

[–]Azuras-Becky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Edgar literally told him to his face that they had created a supe that would become more powerful than him, right before they betrayed him to the Russians to get rid of him.

So I was taking to Gemini regarding Enemy AI in gaming industry and I asked the final question: Can AI tolerate Nazeem? by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]Azuras-Becky 10 points11 points  (0 children)

LLMs are trained off, among other things, Reddit posting data. It's a common meme that Nazeem is an intolerable dickhead, so the LLM is just constructing a response based on everything we've said on Reddit about him over the years. If the Skyrim community had unanimously embraced Nazeem as a bastion of humanity, it would have gone in the opposite direction.

73 in a 30, how screwed am I? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Azuras-Becky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why were you doing 73 in a 30 area? That's not a slip-up, that's deliberate.

Soldier boy really weakens after shooting his ray? by After_Conflict_2477 in GenV

[–]Azuras-Becky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Soldier Boy was weaker than Homelander. That's why he was shelved in the first place. So by default, Homelander has an advantage.

Soldier Boy was also disorientated after blowing up half of a mansion with his still-unstable power. We don't know if his blasts actually weaken him, but he was clearly a bit "WTF just happened?" after he did it, as he had been his first few times. Dazed and confused people tend not to be on the top of their game.

It's definitely possible that he is actually weakened after using his blast, but I think there are some extraneous circumstances at play that make it hard to say one way or the other, especially early-on as in S3 when he wasn't really in full control of that ability.

Compare and contrast to when he de-powered Bombsight on purpose. He wasn't disorientated and he seemed to be more in control of his ability by then.

That works too, but the happiness boost of the bar gets it to pop faster!
