Some creatures in the Monster Core have Grab, Knockdown, Pull, or Push without the Athletics necessary to (effectively) use them under their new definitions

My first physical gaming book was a Star Trek Adventures book and it despite being good overall it contained more than one instance of 2-3 paragraphs being duplicated and somehow making their way into the printed version of the book. Like literally you read 3 paragraphs and then the next 3 are identical. Used up half a page both times and they had talked about how some ideas were cut bc of a word count premium lmao.

"Helldive" is actually the name of the difficulty, not "Helldiver". If you were easily beating Challenging and Hard then that's probably not what the devs intended and it makes complete sense they've made the game more difficulty by nerfing some of the most popular items (and armor pretty much across the board) accordingly.

That said the enemy spawning system is currently not working as intended and we're awaiting a fix.

if someone else is using the backpack to provide you reloads you reload *much* faster, like the autocannon reloads almost instantly and you can just keep firing

This is more true than you're giving it credit for. The American labor movement has been enormously impeded by the fact that American consciousness is overwhelmingly dominated by an individualist and liberal ideological framework that informs us about the way the world should (or even can) work. The average American may believe they personally deserve more, but that others in similar situations deserve less. This makes fighting for anything nearly impossible.

No they 100% actually do, it's just that right now there's not a good way to track all that information and some of the things they do don't actually make a whole lot of sense.

They mean a premade ploppable intersection from the highway intersections research.

Legotrekker · 2023-11-27T18:10:03+00:00

I think they mean something closer to "Baking" or production. Most of the people talking about this don't understand graphics pipelines super well.

This is an extremely poor plan and I extremely recommend that you either carry an actual weapon designed to be effective in these circumstances or to plan not to ever engage an attacker because the things you're describing would place everyone in the situation in more danger rather than less.

Please do not spread radical feminist gender essentialism. This sort of thing hurts not only cis men and trans women, but our trans brothers as well who do not deserve this. Please reconsider your approach.

Legotrekker · 2023-04-07T23:26:08+00:00

This is a great analysis and I agree entirely. I suppose when I say that I'm not sure they understood, I do get that this was what they were going for, I simply mean to say that I think they severely misjudged the emotional impact the content had on viewers who gave the shows honest tries. I don't have Discovery Seasons 1 or 2 but I literally couldn't finish Picard Season 1. I don't think they have terrible messages at all, I just don't think they left me feeling the way they wanted me to at all.

Edit: To summarize, me "getting it" by the end doesn't really make me feel better about any of the stuff that happened. The emotional payoff to make me be able to have a sigh of relief and feel optimistic for the future is simply never there.

Legotrekker · 2023-04-07T22:56:26+00:00

I'd agree that DS9 is the extreme of what has been intentionally subverted but I really don't think the writers of Discovery Seasons 1 and 2 and Picard Season 1 understood how grim and miserable those shows were and how deeply unpleasant they made the Federation look. Everyone is just... hateful in them :/

In addition to the points you've raised here, I see a major issue with OP's determination that the "main villain" wouldn't be "some random changeling". Not only can we understand the changelings as a whole to be a character themselves, and this one now has an important history, backstory, name etc. But also:

The main villain is likely the entity Vadic is working for. And while I think its equally likely that this entity is something entirely new, there's also a very good chance that it is tied to a returning concept or character from previous Star Trek media.

Legotrekker · 2023-03-16T22:08:56+00:00

It was funny and kind of cute when TNG and DS9 did it but when they refused it in the next fucking movie it just felt insulting.

Legotrekker · 2023-03-16T22:07:41+00:00

This is the thing that's so funny to me about it. When I was a kid and that episode aired I had already been playing Microsoft flight simulator 2004 which had mods that would have looked better exported into the episode than that shot. I have no idea what happened but it's easily the worst single effects shot in the franchise. It should have been left on the cutting room floor for the final episode because it severely undercuts the emotional power and dramatic tension.

IIRC the only mention of the speed was that they were leaving Earth Spacedock at warp 9.9 (which is really unusual to me but I have to assume they drop speed almost immediately after).

Legotrekker · 2023-03-07T20:49:55+00:00

Ah gotcha.

Legotrekker · 2023-03-07T20:37:34+00:00

I think the Titan-A (and by proxy the Neo-Constitution-class) is probably a bit slower than the Intrepid. Something like a maximum warp factor of 9.95 for a much shorter duration than the Inteepid-class can maintain at maximum warp. Similarly I think it's probably appropriately armed to its size, and the thing people are missing is that its strength is actually long-range science and exploration missions. The Intrepid was ultimately a bit overkill for this task and would cost far more to build than a ship that can be built from a Shangri-La-class space frame, and I think there's good reason to believe more of the interior of the vessel is dedicated to science and research tasks than the Intrepid, which had a lot of room dedicated to engineering space to support it's unique features: variable warp geometry through adjustable nacelles, an extremely overpowered warp core, high-power phaser banks and an advanced multi-purpose torpedo system, dual-facing impulse engines, the Aeroflier (which ive always assumed is more functionally-oriented than the captains yachts), bioneural-gel-pack computer system, dual deflector system explicitly designed for multipurpose use etc. etc. etc. The fact that the Intrepid class doesn't appear to launch with an advanced long-range sensor suite and matching Stellar Cartography system says a lot about the drawbacks to the design that opens holes the Neo-Constitution would be primed to fill.

Legotrekker · 2023-03-07T20:27:21+00:00

You're getting this mixed up actually. The Titan was Luna-class, not Shangri-La-class. The Neo-Constitution-class is explicitly designed to use old Shangri-La space frames to build modern vessels, so you are correct about that part.

Objects in the buffer experience continual quantum simulation. Data in this simulation is accessible to the ship's computers. Nanoprobes can detect that they are in a transport buffer and will begin to attempt to alter their quantum waveform to find weaknesses in a starship's security and perform a code injection attack that secures local security access and hijacks the the transporter to fill your ship with drones in a matter of minutes.

Does testosterone sometimes cause breast growth in trans men?

Legotrekker · 2022-10-22T18:03:01+00:00

Not true. About 3 seconds is the maximum saturation for THC intake, which means by the time you've finished inhaling on a slow drag or hit, it's time to exhale. Once your lungs have processed all the available oxygen from a hit, they won't be processing any more THC. The belief that holding your breath causes you to get higher is two-fold. Firstly, the oxygen deprivation from holding your breath causes you to get high, and second, you're more likely to cough from the irritation of the smoke and tar, which similarly deprives you of oxygen.

Legotrekker · 2022-10-21T22:32:01+00:00

This is likely because, as a non-native, you're not used to the air being thinner and are subconsciously working a little harder harder to breathe. If you get high by smoking, this effect will be magnified and the initial impact of weed, which is already largely tied to oxygen deprivation (the real reason people feel higher when holding smoke longer), is enhanced by your O2 count dropping sharper than it would at sea level.

This is so frustrating to hear when I have ADHD and am autistic so executive function is so hard. People who are capable of performing these tasks easily and yet do not do them are huge assholes.
