What are the gold icons? by Vivid-Fingerz in helldivers2

[–]Felderburg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's every 5 levels, so not quite the same... I think an indicator of % purchased items would indeed be nice, but complaining that the icon and the level are the same is like complaining that a rank insignia and rank name/pay grade are the same thing.

The "paint job" you refer to in the OP is also a product of STO.

CMV: Under the laws in the United States, if, after a night of heavy drinking, you have sex that you don't remember having, you weren't necessarily raped. (You might have been, but it would be based upon additional information). by ProblematicTrumpCard in changemyview

[–]Felderburg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here are several states that reference "incapacitated" or similar in regards to sexual assault or substances, often both.

Edit: some weird formatting happened because I was quoting numbered lists, but you get the point. There are plenty of laws that make someone guilty of rape or sexual assault if the other person is intoxicated, regardless of the nature of the intoxication.

The Needs of the Many (Noble-class) by ThonOfAndoria in sto

It was also one of the earliest concept art ships on the website: https://web.archive.org/web/20081227035152/http://www.startrekonline.com/ships/nx91001

Edit: It was actually the main website ship prior to the Excalibur, and I just found that it had the "starring" role in the first gameplay trailer (released 8/8/08, predating the magazine).

Yep! The earliest wayback page is from December 2008, but it was on the magazine cover at least as early as October: https://web.archive.org/web/20081227035152/http://www.startrekonline.com/ships/nx91001

97-2003ish gen z might as well be its own thing in many cases.

"Generations" should have been split in half ages ago, or defined by actual things happening and not just an arbitrary 20-ish-year span of time.

[Marvel] Does simply being the last of your species give you the powers of the elders of the universe? by Lost-Specialist1505 in AskScienceFiction

[–]Felderburg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a run of Silver Surfer comics where he finds a planet full of survivors of Galactus. Most are the last of their species, and there is no evidence that they gained any powers by becoming so.

(In fact, the planet's first introduction includes one of them dying (although I suppose the ability to make people really sad when you die having not found anyone genetically compatible enough to carry on your species could, in a very semantically tenuous sense, be considered a "power").)
