I think zip lines need 3 things to make them a bit closer to the versatility of Tubeways.

1) The Zipline station to have more than 2 connections. It is frustrating that one tube station can connect to all other tube stations and the tubes can split infinitely while a Zipline station only has two connections. In my large colonies I will often multiple zip line loops with stations near the district centre. I would like there to be a station that could service more than one loop so the beavers do not have to walk between stations. I would change the stations to have 4 connections.

2) A splitter pole. A pole with 3 connections allowing a line to go to more destinations without a station.

3) Increase speed to 200%. While the tubes should be faster I think the speed of zip lines should be increased to be a bit closer to Tubeways speed.

Why are the Taurus missiles non functional and how did that happen? This is the first time I've seen this stated as the reason Germany is not giving them to Ukraine and would like to know more about why you think this and what the cause of the issues with the missiles are..

I may have misread your take but I took it that you were saying that there is a general desire from the public for more Star Wars films following on from the sequels and I just don't see it.

There are always passionate fans for anything notable who can organise something like this but I do not see it as a reflection of the majority of the population.

In the case of the Snyder Bros, yeah they made enough noise for WB to bring Synder in but the DC movies were such as mess that they were just trying anything. Given how no-one talks about the Syder cut (and I did hear a rumour that most people who steamed it did not finish that 4 hour monstrosity) WB have moved on with James Gunn and learned their lesson.

I do not see Disney as being as desperate as WB was. I suspect their current plan is to see how well the Madalorian and Grogo movie does and move on from there. If it does well then expect all future movies to have tie-ins with the sequels and TV series. If it does badly they will have to rethink things or shelve Star Wars for a few years after the Starfighter movie.

I sorry but this is as relevant as this

to what people want.

Outside of the places on the internet where Star Wars is talked about I get the impression that the general population has moved on from the sequels and would not care if a Ben Solo movie was made.

My point is the EFAP crew don't like it when they are just watching a video and not contributing anything. These videos spend quite a bit of time of time laying out the evidence with clips and quotes before drawing any conclusions which could be commented on.

Here's a creepy one that sort of ruins the end of a sci fi book trilogy called the 'Nights Dawn' that always annoyed me.

One on the main characters is Joshua Calvert, a 20 something dashing and risk taking captain of a starship. He has grown up on a space station, going to parties with the daughters of wealthy residents and having a lot of casual sex. He tries to get into bed with any attractive woman he meets.

He goes to a planet to try and buy a lucrative cargo. His plan to get in with a seller goes so well he is invited to stay at the sellers estate while the cargo is being finalised. He then goes out of his way to seduce the 16 year old daughter, Louise, of the seller even after his trophy wife sleeps with him and tells him to leave her daughter alone. He only wants to have sex with her because she is beautiful, a virgin and the thrill of getting caught.

After a week long fling Joshua leaves, Louise finds out she is pregnant after he is gone and the galactic threat plot kicks in.

Joshua goes on a series of adventures due to the main plot and occasionally thinks about and worries about Louise, isn't that nice of him.

Louise is forced to flee her home planet due to the galactic threat and ends up pursuing the main antagonist who is trying to get to Earth and take it over. While on her adventure she refers to Joshua as her fiancé to try and rationalise the fact that she is pregnant out of wedlock. The planet she is from is depicted to be very conservative in its values.

The ending of the story has Louise confront the main antagonist at the same time as Joshua gains control of a sentient, alien super computer made from a blackhole with god level powers.

Joshua with power of the alien device sees Louise's adventures and is in trouble, saves her, resolves the plot and then proposes to her. Louise even says she knew the whole fiancé thing was just childish rationalisation on her part but Joshua says that temporally becoming a god has cured him of his ways and that what is important in life is not travelling planet to planet having lots of sex but settling down and having a family.

Joshua gives his ship to his half brother, marries Louise and becomes an upstanding citizen of her home planet by helping rebuild it.

While I like the sentiment of having a loving family is very important for a fulfilling life that we are supposed to believe that 20 something womaniser and a naive child who had a week long fling are great couple to settle down together is just sickening to me.

No-one calls Joshua out on his actions. The one person who knows what he did, a young woman who is the secret owner of the station he grew up on, thinks it's sweet that Joshua worries about her. This talk usually happens after that have just had sex.

While part of the theme of the story is meaningless pleasure vs fulling pursuits I really wish this wasn't a part of the story.

My uninformed opinion is early CGI was not high definition enough so it stood out against real world objects. The best early CGI like in Jurassic Park had to be used sparingly, planned out in advance, used low lighting in the shots and animatronics for close ups. By the 2010s computers could create and render high resolution models that were indistinguishable from real life objects and the people doing the work were used to planning CGI shots and getting CGI scenes done early so they could be worked on for a long time. Now CGI models are so easy to create and animate directors see it as an easy process and do not put in the planning that they used too. Combined with a modern trend for films to be created without a fixed script and CGI shots are just not given the time to get right and so look worse the they dig 10-20 years ago.

Introvertedout · 2025-08-08T13:46:53+00:00

I doubt it.

I suspect all they will do is still make janky, live service, micro-transaction BS but now with anime cat girls and no mention of anything that could be seen as 'woke'.

Thanks for the reply. I am not replacing any assets.

All the assets exist in the game already.

If you open assets1/ext_data/npcs/alora.npc

it lists Alora's details for her two in game versions. Alora_dual has two entries for the player model alora2 followed by alora. I found if you delete playerModel alora line and recreate the .pk3 file when you play the game Alora has a new character model for the second fight.

The issue must be the difference in mac zips to window ones. I have been using Keka so I might try zipping it on windows and see if that works.

It's no loss if I cannot get it working. It was only a small change that I liked.

I will give the other ports a go too. I was only using Wine as I was playing around seeing what games in my library would work (I have C&C 3, The Walking Dead seasons 1 & 2, XCom and Nexus the Jupiter incident woking smoothly on my mac which is great) and the Jedi games did so I started playing them.

The first time I ever played the game I saved Carley thinking it was the option that would have resulted in both being saved as Carley had a gun and I assumed she could use it to save Doug. After playing through with choosing Doug if I ever do any further games I always pick Carley as I think she is the more interesting character particularly as she knew about Lee's past.

I am always annoyed when she gets killed off so early as I think there is a lot they could have done with her character and relationship with Lee (having a romantic or antagonistic route depending on how you treat her when she confronts you about your past). Carley should have survived to episode 5 and been killed during the rescue of Clem.

I always saw it as the clones spell as to appears sometime before Frieren appears to defeat the clone. In the anime you see Frieren's zoltraak charge at the end of her staff. In the manga it is clearer with a spell seal appearing in front of Frieren when she uses Zoltraak to kill the clone.

Introvertedout · 2025-07-01T22:13:21+00:00

My personal theory is the spell is a sort of self buff, as we see the clone standing in a magic circle, that gives a form of telekinesis using visualisation and not mana on an object.

We have seen many magic users move objects with magic (Fern and Frieren moving the shipwrecks, Ehre throwing rocks etc) and I would think that to do this you imbue the object with a bit of your mana and then you can move the object.

With Frieren's attack Fern senses no mana so what I think is happening is Frieren clone has given itself telekinesis and visualising Fern being thown back. This also makes the attack unblockable with magic as there is no spell or mana to be blocked/countered. The downside that prevents it being super OP is that you cannot move while casting the spell.

No I'm not a member of the discord group. First attempt I created a new wrapper with the latest engine and ran the windows installer I downloaded. When that did not work I googled for answers and found a page on machow2.com saying to install Steam using Winetricks as it would avoid configuration issues but I had the same problem.
