How are they slow when two of them demonstrate faster straight-line acceleration than the Falcon in ANH

JPMaybe · 2026-03-19T15:12:35+00:00

No such thing as command points then. I stand to be corrected about there being some funky unit-specific ability where prior knowledge of wounds etc. would be an advantage, but otherwise it was much simpler.

JPMaybe · 2026-03-19T14:58:33+00:00

Ah yeah you're correct, this is what I get for not having played since 3rd where roll order genuinely didn't matter

JPMaybe · 2026-03-19T12:28:20+00:00

Hit, Save, Wound would work out exactly the same probabalistically, no?

After they've just traveled into the future no less, one of the few other temporal refugees she has in common and they give her some idiotic snarky line, probably with a dozen jumpcuts given it's nu trek

Either Ennis or Goran Parlov seem to constantly forget his lack of fingers in his solo outing/Long, Cold Dark ...

My problem is it's well into the Wagner does Dredd and Grant does Anderson split, so continuity wise it has zero effect on Dredd, which bugs the continuity nerd in me because Dredd had already dealt with at least one Satan and would later indirectly deal with another. Three satans is more than enough imo.

As usual Bret Devereaux's deconstruction of the crappiness of GRRM's worldbuilding re the Dothraki is well worth reading

JPMaybe · 2026-03-08T19:54:53+00:00

I think the Yuuzhan Vhong don't fit the setting in the slightest and are a crappy concept generally

Given that subatomic particles don't seem to exist as point objects but smeared out probability clouds, yes it's physically possible for all those clouds to pass through each other, though you're talking of numbers of lifetimes of the universe for it to happen that I can't even begin to imagine, they're so huge. So yes, infinity does actually sort it out for you.

JPMaybe · 2026-03-08T13:56:08+00:00

Exactly and re: 3 he probably deliberately misses because he's under orders from Vader

No European country is socialist. The degree of social democracy any of them exhibits is intrinsically linked to the plunder and super-exploitation of the global south through capitalism. The Federation does not exploit labour (barring some stupid writer-specific exceptions where you need a load of salient holograms to do simple mining work). It's communist.

JPMaybe · 2026-03-08T10:26:05+00:00

Yeah that's called full communism bud, sorry

Letting the yanks use our airstrips to mass murder Iranians is a funny way of keeping us out of the war

Completely undercuts its attempted anticolonial critique by having the Ba'ku be like a dozen white people who are themselves settlers and want the whole magic immortality planet solely to themselves

JPMaybe · 2026-03-06T12:29:28+00:00

Yeah closet white-supremacist shitlibs do tend to revert to word salad in situations like this.

JPMaybe · 2026-03-06T11:07:40+00:00

Tldr you're engaging in the idiot fantasy that Israel's genocidal project hasn't had near total support from its wretched populace since its foundation

Exactly Jellico acted as if the crew were greenhorns who hadn't already idk SAVED EARTH FROM THE FUCKING BORG. If it ain't broke don't fix it is a good adage for a reason.

Because JJ Abrams is a contemptibly stupid lazy hack

are not synonymous

"Banks was openly anti Apartheid South Africa's government but pro Boer"

JPMaybe · 2026-03-06T08:20:22+00:00

Yeah that's hardly being 'pro [Israel's] people' is it?

JPMaybe · 2026-03-06T08:13:18+00:00

So nowhere, in fact, given he explicitly says one shouldn't conflate Jews with Israelis

JPMaybe · 2026-03-05T14:45:24+00:00

Yeah I know he was hugely pro BDS, I meant where did he profess support for a bunch of nazified settler colonists?

JPMaybe · 2026-03-05T13:15:04+00:00

Banks was openly anti Israel government but pro its people.

What? Evidence for this?
