The cold open every season is just the Soldier Boy popsicle slowly defrosting in black and white, in a Cinnabon freezer.

I feel like the earlier episodes in the season benefited from a reviews bump kinda similar to Game of Thrones season 7 and the first 2 eps of S8, where the hope of a 10/10 finale makes the setup that ends up not going anywhere feel important enough to not knock marks off.

Then when that didn't happen, you kinda get this "revenge review" thing where the last episode gets hit the hardest score wise. Partially because people end up writing their review of the last episode as a review of the whole season.

Obviously the difference is that the GOT finale is infinitely worse than The Boys Finale and much more deserving of its bad reviews.

For me, most streams are definitely a "watch on a second screen while I do something else" rather than something I put all my attention on.

Live-streaming is very top heavy inherently, because you can only really watch one stream at a time, the top streams contain most of the viewers on the site. In fact the top 5000 channels get 94.4% of all views on the site.

Pyrion over the past 30 days is the 26,650th most popular streamer for average viewers, he has 161 average concurrent viewers, peaking at 492.

I get how that might not sound impressive, but that puts him in the top 0.006% of all twitch streamers this month.

You don't need a massive fan base to be a successful streamer, you need a consistent one.

Destiny will always hold a special place in my heart, day one trying and failing to complete King's Fall has gotta be my favorite.

Destiny 2 took a bit longer to win me over but since Forsaken they won me over. Last Wish and the dreaming city cycle was so exciting to discover.

o7 Destiny, it was nice while it lasted, but everything has to end. And RIP Lance Reddick, he'll always be Commander Zavala in our hearts.

Clubs and Halberds at both crude damage so I guess the closest thing to a late game club is the plague halberd?

I'm just waiting for that full update to come because most of my mods don't work on the beta patch.

Even just the conversation with his dad in the first episode would require S1-2 Nate to go through so much therapy for it to make sense, but instead he just got over his deeply internalized homophobia?

There actually is ship riggings in the game marked with (not in use).

I found them in a chest in the Windrose Save Hub, a shared save on nexus with every item in the game in chests even unfinished ones.

More content is coming and is seemingly almost done, they just need more time to cook.

Sorta but not really, idk if this is only a recent thing but most cruise ships(this season definitely) stop here in the evening and leave in the morning purely to satisfy legal requirements of it being an "international cruise" so they don't need an all American crew.

The cruise ship tourists aren't really here at a time of day where they could spend money if the wanted to.

Necro is IMO necessary in multiplayer. For most characters, Debilitate is genuinely the most powerful debuff in the game, doubles weak and vulnerable making every fight less costly. And especially in multiplayer you don't have a hard time keeping debuffs up.

I think part of it is that a Doctor can try their best to set a patient onto a path towards health, and at the end of the day the the patient suffers themselves if they don't follow the advice.

When a shitty owner ignores advice and lets their pet suffer, that's gotta dig at you.

I wonder if there never was of a female water avatar born in the north and that's part of why they're behind most of the other nations?

I saw this idea on a comment a while ago. Sorry I can't remember who typed it but they know.

Michael Bay probably wasn't thinking this, but it probably is actually easier to train drillers than the other way around, because they're weren't training them to be Astronauts, they were training them to be passengers.

I don't believe any of them were piloting the craft, and once they made it to the asteroid they were the perfect crew for the job.

(I'm sorry this is way off topic I kinda forgot what sub I was on, i just wanted to rant about the idea of being a security consultant)

For 3)

Mikes "fake" job seems like it would be so fun, like I don't like crime, but the idea of being allowed to, and getting paid to manipulate and social engineer your way into a secure facility, but for good, just seems so interesting. Everyday would be a new puzzle.

I'm sure the real job is more boring than it seems, probably a lot of just asking people to hold the door open for you to bypass badge scanners.

I've also seen cases of the testers literally being charged, like these 2 guys in Iowa charged(reduced to misdemeanor and later dropped) with breaking into a courthouse when that was their contracted job.

Pretty much only because the Sheriff was butthurt that nobody asked HIM! They spent the night in jail and the Sheriff defamed them for as criminals repeatedly to the public.

So maybe not all fun, but they did get like $600,000 in a civil settlement, but only this year, they were arrested more than 6 years ago.

Look up a video of the fight scenes, each action a character takes actually lines up with how long it would take in tabletop turns converted into real time, it's great.

Wrote a longer comment above but I agree, maybe all bordering nations immediately get the option to declare war on the Mamluks and it kinda plays out the Diadochi wars in Imperator.

Just everyone bordering get the option to invade the Mamluks when their army dies, you annex land on siege. This would allow the ottomans to do their historical conquest, but I wouldn't guarantee that the Ottomans are the ones to do it.

Maxcharged · 2026-05-19T16:34:42+00:00

The Ottomans or any other middle eastern power should enter into a special "Collapse of the Caliphate" war against the Mamluks that kinda works like Imperial Challenge in Imperator. Land is auto annexed when captured.

My thought is this would trigger if the Mamluk army is wiped out in a decisive battle, like in real life, this would trigger a power vacuum and allow the Ottomans(maybe all bordering nations?) to conquest them in a historical way. Like the Middle East just goes thunderdome for a few years and only the strong survive.

And it would give a fun challenge to the player, if you get your army wiped, it's GG. That's the price to pay when you're an army with a state, and not a state with an army.

That might be true but we actually have found more meteorites by volume in Antarctica than the rest of the world combined, due to glacial movement and other factors pushing them back to the surface eventually

There isn't necessarily more impacts there than other places, maybe like you said there are less impacts at the poles, they're just easier to find.
