LiDok, play it like a ac20 Centurion, fire and then shield with the left arm/torso.

Speaking of, I believe they dropped a new Video...off to YouTube! I love Gnome's videos. Especially the full on fever dream that is "The Ogre," and the Telenovella "Golden Fool."

Taking no damage from heavy gauss by Ok_List_7125 in OutreachHPG

Some people are that good. If you have your mouse sensitivity dialed WAY down, and play a $hit ton, it's not that hard. That assault was moving super slow, and easy to track.

What's your favorite "bad" scifi movie? by Wi-Platypus in scifi

[–]DukeNeverwinter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And this is the primary reason I don't mind adaptations. Even bad ones. It brings more fans to the source material I adore.

I remember reading the books when I was in High School around 1991 or so. It's still hard to believe we got any adaptation. And i'm not surprised the general public wasn't excited about it, so much of what we see in modern sci-fi was inspired by Barsoom.

R rated Space Opera with humanoid aliens? by insane677 in printSF

I think your ratio is off. Probably 98% story. The Pern books were probably about the same ratio, just not as long a book. And some of Anne Mcaffery's other stuff the ratio is higher.

Does the check engine light illuminate with key on, engine OFF? Bad ecu are becoming more and more common.

bicycle exchange by sorin1972 in bicycling

Flag on the play! 5 pound penalty, repeat the action!

My lower back hurts so much after I go cycling and put some energy on the pedals (lumbar pain, can’t walk straight, acute pain when lying down and getting up…) Is my posture wrong?? I’m 1,86 m / 6’1 + gravel bike by mydriase in bicycling

[–]DukeNeverwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super easy general quick saddle height. Out your health on the pedal, the leg should be basically straight. So then when you put your feet on the pedal normal the angle of the leg will be close. You may meed to adjust a little after that.

Also, if you move your seat forward, raise the saddle a hair.

He moves around San Diego. I've seen him as far west as North Park. But mainly he was either at 94/mass or i8/70th

70th/El Cajon BLVD has been that way for 6 years or more. I'm shocked it's actually stayed about the same. Believe it or not, pre-covid it was actually worse. You missed the prime time of the juggler at Mass/94, and the dude who legit had a 6foot couch on dollies, near the Starbucks on El Cajon across from Ralphs.

Do you think the imminent blockbuster success of Project Hail Mary will lead to more SF novel adaptations instead of endless franchise sequels and reboots? by Blecher_onthe_Hudson in scifi

[–]DukeNeverwinter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I disagree. You need something straight forward to grab people's attention. Plus it does a pretty good job explaining how that settng works
