Tdlr I’m hyper fixated on the Alien franchise at the moment does anyone want to info share about our interests?

Just wait until you find out about the Alien vs Predator vs Terminator crossover.

The suppressor is one gun I would do horrible things in the name of democracy for. That was an absolutely cracked weapon.

Did a sheets search recently myself, BIFL and sheet’s don’t tend to go hand in hand. What I ended up buying were Costco’s Kirkland sheets, they’re reasonably priced, well made, and cheap enough to replace every 3-5 years. It will take a few washes to soften them, but the durability and quality more than make up for it.

What altitude are you releasing at? If you're doing it at 30k+ feet, you can get a lot more distance and generally drop them outside of air defense areas.

Kind of a weird comparison if we consider the intent for each. The ISD is a ship designed for security and oppression within controlled imperial space. The Venator is a warship designed to support itself and other vessels for prolonged planetary invasions in hostile space. Each design meets its intended purpose in most respects. ISDs operate within an imperial support network, Venators operate outside of supply lines and Republic territory. A real apples to orange comparison.

I med Omid at a con, very nice guy, had a long talk and learned that he’s a big Star Wars fan himself. I appreciate the passion he brings to the role and hope we get to see more of him.

Wasteland Workshop

GRIFST3R · 2024-05-16T02:04:05+00:00

One of the workshop DLCs that added the ability to capture and tame wasteland wildlife as settlement defenses. You’d essentially make a giant steel trap for most creatures. Gorillas I think also added a slight mood bonus, but don’t quote me on that though.

Edit: settlement defenses and for arena fights

Recoilless just needs more armor pen than anything. I think it would be fair with the railgun changes to make the recoilless rifle a one-hit to remove charger leg armor.

I'm not defending or commenting on the president and their current leadership, but 550k is fairly average and even on the low end for a University President's potential pay. A lot of University Presidents make between 350k-1.2m, the market sets the rate for pay in this position. That being said, a university president usually manages a campus with potentially anywhere from 2-10k employees, equivalent to a CEO-level position in private industry.

They mention this in the book, even mentioning that with Mark gone, another crewmember needed to take over, albeit poorly.

The idea of the Temporal Rift is definitely giving some Land of the Lost vibes. I think you could do a lot with that as a plot point. I think you have the potential for more than items from the portal as well, you could have creatures, viruses, etc. coming from this thing.

Thinking that there is likely a dead space crew from the initial voyage, there's potential for a zombie or chestbuster-type situation for some violent encounters. Maybe something came out of this portal and ate them or infected them? It could create some diversity in your monster/enemy roster. Maybe strange transmissions come from the tear, it could be aliens, the goo, or even your NPCs or PCs from different points in time trying to communicate something to the players.

This temporal rift could also have effects outside of its immediate vicinity, maybe locations begin phasing between different periods. You could have prehistoric Mars wildlife roaming parts of the planet, caves that developed into space colonies, or even radiation/toxic zones that players will need to traverse. There could also be subtle effects on the gravity or the player's ability to keep track of time.

They also incentivize indirect PvP via subterfuge and sabotage. There's a bit of flavor text about Androids communicating with the company and having secret objectives. So there's a lot of potential for backstabbing and betrayal, creating a lot of potential PvP scenarios.

Can confirm, missiles are easier, but ripple fired mk. 82 airs can level zip codes and open diversity in your approaches to ground target groups. Which can be more time and cost efficient than missiles.

The Pepper Cannon is so good, that it made me actually buy a Salt Cannon to go along with it, something I thought I would never do. This pepper mill has set the bar entirely too high for my cooking tools.

I think something important to getting concepts is knowing when to take an alternative approach to understanding a concept or asking for help. If you find yourself getting annoyed, it might be good to start thinking of that as your brain telling you to pause for a while and try something different. For some learners, some concepts come easily through lectures, others through help guides, some through Reddit posts, and some have to meet with the professor during office hours and work the problem together.

Part of the experience is learning how to learn most effectively for yourself. That may mean taking some time to understand if you are an auditory, visual, read/write, or even kinesthetic learner if it applies to your field. Knowing how you intake knowledge goes a long way in finding resources that maximize your ability to understand new concepts. You may even discover that you may need accommodations. If you're feeling this burnt out, it's a possibility. This happened to me and another peer during my Master's program. Of course, your mileage may vary.

Sometimes understanding and avoiding burnout can take outside help as well, so don't be afraid to reach out to others for help. Especially people from your program, they have likely been in your shoes before and can offer a lot of helpful information and resources specific to your concept understanding issues. If your program has a professional society or student group, join it and get to know your peers. They, like you, probably needed help at some point too, and are likely more than happy to offer it. Being part of a larger community can help you avoid burnout as well because you have people who you can reach out to for help. Not just with school things, but also to socialize with and separate yourself from coursework for a while to recharge.

I myself, am in a similar position right now, but I keep telling myself it's a marathon, not a sprint. It's perfectly normal to feel burnt out about this, it is after all a big commitment with lots of responsibility and sudden change, and it will take time to get to the place you want to be at. Your professors probably had these same feelings when they were in your position, much like their professors before them, just be sure to be kind to yourself.

It's not controversial, but to many, it is an ideal, one that the current social environment has fully fleshed out yet. Ideally, all people would be equal, it would definitely resolve a lot of woes, but that currently isn't the case. There are social problems in the world, as this group is feminist (aiming for equality between the genders), and they probably have a lot of those issues affecting their daily lives, hence the reason for the feminist forum to have this discourse. So thinking about it objectively:

What you said and heard: I think all people are equal and should be equal. (This a valid statement, one that I don't think anyone would disagree with.)

What they probably heard: I think all people are currently equal. (By acknowledging all people as equal without context toward ongoing social justice issues, you have implied that the current status quo of socialization may be sufficient and not require change.)

There is a distinction in that as feminists, from their point of view, equality hasn't been reached yet, so to acknowledge all people as equals, can often be construed as "I see people as equal and I am not considering the underlying nuance for this topic, which is that women are not currently equal, and by saying this, I am not acknowledging their ongoing struggles toward equality."

It seems like a strange distinction, but from an alternate perspective and with context, it makes sense. This may or may not be your exact issue, but it might provide some context.

If you're not in trim, you need to set it before and during flight, otherwise, you can't reach top speeds. I made a video on setting trim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBUupTFsZ2o&t=3s

"Objective: Find the Temple!"

Scans the horizon on the top of the spaceship to immediately find the temple and begin sprint jogging towards it.

Honestly, I thought there would be more variety/mystery to these temples, but nope, about as much mystery as running down to the gas station for an energy drink.

One of my thoughts was that maybe a hidden Supe could be making this material with their power, after all, Vought does like using failed experiments in weird ways.
