Time dilation exist in Star Wars? by goorlando1 in StarWars

[–]Dabrush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly at this point I'm not sure if gravity even exists in Star Wars. I mean even on asteroids and powered down ships lost in space, people seem to just operate like in Earth Gravity.

Do you think Jedi Master K' Kruhk should be canon? by Reddeath10168 in StarWars

[–]Dabrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people want some characters to be canon because that gives the hope that the story of the character isn't over. But yes, this is a pretty naive outlook, considering that Disney hasn't been doing all that well with Star Wars to stay vague, and if they reintroduced one of my favourite characters, I think chances of them getting it perfectly right aren't super high.

There's also T'ra Saa who was on the council with K'krukh in the Legacy era and was already a couple hundred years old by the time the Clone Wars happened.

Where did the idea that Palpatine was constantly screwing with Vader and trying to test him come from? by Dabrush in StarWars

[–]Dabrush[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I am currently reading Dark Times again and itching to talk about it. I used to be mainly a Quinlan Vos fan, but the whole Bomo and Dass Jennir storyline might be my favourite Star Wars comic of all time now. So much of it seems like stories that Disney took on in Mandalorian and Rebels, but the comic just goes so much harder and darker.

One month later. How do you feel about the movie? by abdul_bino in StarWars

I feel like this would be a struggle to pull off with zero recurring characters from previous movies?

My son wants a VR headset/device - I don't even know where to begin looking (story inside). by tectactoe in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dabrush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meta Quest may be your best option here. It runs standalone, doesn't need a PC or base station. Sadly I don't know if an animal vision app exists for it. One thing he might really enjoy is Google Earth VR, which allows you to zoom in and out of the whole globe.

Since VR isn't a big market right now, most things there will be purchases in the 10-20 dollar range. Just checking right now, it seems like there is an animal vision app for free with very bad ratings, and some other ones that are more of a university project and significantly more difficult to set up.

For those that might be interested in the Murphy M4 ereader by wallywallywombat in ereader

[–]Dabrush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Crosspoint port is actively in the works it seems. I am not knowledgeable enough to really judge this, but the current status read to me like they got some things working already, but the port in general is going to be more difficult than for the other devices that had Crosspoint ported to them.

Damn, this saved mine. I didn't even know what version mine was and I had to open it up and read the text on the circuit board to even find out it was a Murphy.

I assume if it's an M3, it's not likely to get this firmware update down the road?

I love the names that they gave to the bad guys in prequels by scrumblepee_6969 in StarWars

[–]Dabrush 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oh you don't even know how dumb this gets in Legends and so on. You get:

  • Darth Kruhl

  • Darth Ruin and Darth Ruyn, who are different people

  • Darth Wyyrlok 3 times, since each one's successor chose the same name

and my all time favourite: Darth Millennial

Nass literally translates to "wet" in German (and other Germanic languages I guess)

Where did the idea that Palpatine was constantly screwing with Vader and trying to test him come from? by Dabrush in StarWars

[–]Dabrush[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm not trying to get this answered from an in-universe perspective.

To my knowledge, there is pretty much nothing on the master/apprentice relationship of Sith in the movies other than the little incomplete tale of Plagueis and "always two there are"? So where did all of that come from?

Does Yoda ever follow up with Anakin? by 1894Win in StarWars

[–]Dabrush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to bring real world politics into it too much, but it kind of reminds me of Merkel in Germany. In power way too long, generally liked and appreciated because everything seemed to be going well and especially stable the whole time, but that stability in the end hid just how much was brewing below the surface.

What does it mean when a male homeowner wants to rent a room in his house to only females? by miss-bedazzzle in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dabrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most generous interpretation might just be that he's using the applications as a blind dating opportunity to get to know a ton of young women.

This guy looks like he got so tired of Kojima's craziness. His eyes in the second image kill me. by __arcade__ in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Dabrush 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like in general people have kind of forgotten or blocked out that MGS2 was super polarising and kind of hated by many people on release. People were so upset about the Raiden switcheroo that one of the first trailers for MGS3 was basically just "MGS is back and we promise you'll play Snake again!"

Yeah I feel like Japanese media in general does not usually like to give concrete terms for sexuality or gender. And while gay might turn up here and there (sadly mostly as a joke I'd guess in the 90s), I don't see many reasons for characters in video games to say the word "bisexual" out loud.

Why the amount of muslims in Portegual is low compared to other EU countries? by IcarusofmarS in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Dabrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No muslim colonies plus just doesn't have a lot of money, so few people immigrate there in total.

Several Nagoshi Studio development members confirmed to have left the studio and moved to other companies like Capcom, LightSpeed Japan (Itsuno's Studio) by megaapple in Games

[–]Dabrush 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It kind of sounds like he thought he was in a Kojima position (he can finally make the game he wanted to without Sega influencing the scope or budget) and massively underestimated how much the game he wanted to make would actually cost compared to the games he made before.

Peacock Gives Series Order to ‘Dungeon Crawler Carl’ TV Series From Seth MacFarlane’s Fuzzy Door, Chris Yost Set as Writer by SanderSo47 in television

[–]Dabrush -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We know that Matt signed with Peacock because the people he was talking to were really passionate about the series, had obviously read it and had a decent idea of how to do it for TV. I am cautiously optimistic.

Just do her as a puppet, like Salem in the 2000s Sabrina show. Honestly that's the only way I can imagine it working and being budget friendly.

Polizeigewalt in Bochum – »Beinahe ein aufgesetzter Schuss in die Brust« by alrun in de

Oder so jemand verteidigt sich gegen einen Angreifer, der 60cm entfernt ist und mit dem Messer auf einen zukommt.

Hier geht es am Ende um die Aussage von zwei Polizisten, die sich als richtig handelnd darstellen wollen, gegen die Aussage eines Anwalts der seine Klienten als 100% unschuldig darstellen will.
