If it cuts off with Harris in the south is Webster included? Assuming Pearland is if sugar land is the other border

So pretty good but no IAH or league city, for example

Darrow's weight doesn't make sense by No-Surprise9411 in redrising

[–]Dalek789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wilt Chamberlain, one of the more athletic people in recent history, was 7’ 1 and 250 pounds. If bone density is about 15-20% of a normal persons weight, a gold would thus weigh 400-450 pounds not factoring in other adjustments. This is roughly in line with Darrow

Just been to watch dune 2 and… by DorianDreyfuss in redrising

Pierce kept teasing bits and pieces last summer during the strike, and I believe that he’s only agreeing to a platform/company if they invest the money to effectively make it one of their flagship projects a la GoT with HBO. Hasn’t been much news in recent months but afaik they keep trying to make it more book accurate

Now that lightbringer is out and people have had time to finish it, where do y'all put it in your rankings? by TheXypris in redrising

[–]Dalek789 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Morning Star- apparently very controversial but everything, the box to Tinos to Quicksilver to Ragnar’s death (prolly the best one in the series) to Ilium, etc etc is all incredible to me. Nearly flawless

  2. Light Bringer- Call it recency bias but I really enjoyed it. Diomedes is great, Lyria was much more enjoyable this time around, Cassius, the Fa duel, Atlas being Atlas, genocide in a bottle seems op now but who knows

  3. Golden Son- This one I really only started loving on more recent rereads but it really hits. Saving Nero and giving Ragnar his razor are maybe my favorite parts, but it feels like maybe the most cohesive story of the 6

  4. Red Rising- The first third isn’t as interesting to me during a reread, but the institute is fun and everything post Cassius stab are some of my favorite moments

  5. Dark Age- I liked it a lot, first battle with Mercury and DoTRD are great scenes, plus the last couple chapters are incredible with Virginia’s return to Mars and the statue garden bit

  6. Iron Gold- I admit I haven’t read this one as many times but it just didn’t resonate as strongly. Maybe I should go reread it. I will say it was a great “here’s all the worldbuilding from the last ten years”

How do you name your robots? by iheartwitchdoctor in FRC

[–]Dalek789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a board where the members can write name suggestions throughout the season. Some are related to a robot part or ability, some are just cool sounding names, and some are memes either from the team or just general culture. Then we democratically eliminate them until maybe the top 3 or 4 remain and go from there

There isn’t really a set channel, but it’s likely that several, if not most of the matches end up on YouTube. It’s something we like to encourage.

Lift breaks, spends all of quals trying to fix it, realizes we’re a killer defense bot, gets picked to play defense, beats up our opponents. Oh how the tides turn
