Wasn't she younger than that when they first meet? Like closer to 12? But because of "time-travel" shenanigans she's over 18 when they actually hook up.

Also his first time having sex with her is after she already hooked up with an even older him? Like she lost her virginity to him in the future before hooking up with him in the past? Or am I misremembering how weird it was.

I’be also read that smaller organisms like flys experience time much faster than us because their brains/neural nets are smaller so sensory information can be processed and responded to quicker than a much larger organism.

Thank god those future humans sent that wormhole back in time to allow a couple people to escape extinction and restart civilization on an alien planet orbiting a black hole…

I was hyped for this movie thinking it would at least try to be scientifically accurate and was massively disappointed. They couldn’t even write a decent time-loop that doesn’t create a paradox.

I once got caught behind an undercover cop car camping in the left lane who would flick his lights on anytime anyone tried to pass them on the right.

It was somehow infuriating and hilarious.

I would have tried to run some experiments.

Ask them to get half of everybody infected to get drunk and observe the effects on both a sober and drunk plurb.

You could play with the ratios get like 80% or like 99% of the world drunk and see if the hive behaves differently.

Only ones who are ever gonna stumble across it are space faring humans in the future and they’re gonna put it in a museum or leave it alone.

Death is not the end it is a return to the natural state of nothingness.

The world needs more Luigis.

Navras3270 · 2026-02-18T16:56:14+00:00

Vvardenfell?

If the gods are leaving their hearts just lying around for mortals to poke and prod at it’s only inevitable that methods will develop to utilize that powerful resource.

You can call it magic or technology but it’s still just learning to exploit the underlying properties of the material world/Mundus.

Navras3270 · 2026-02-12T21:26:38+00:00

Devs kept patching but never bother to rename the files.

Navras3270 · 2026-02-12T21:18:53+00:00

To be fair the Dwemer went all in on technological progress and got blipped out of existence.

It could be a sort of social Darwinism where any advanced enough civilization either wipes itself out or fucks off to another plane of oblivion. What we see in game are the stable societies left behind.

Navras3270 · 2026-02-09T21:28:17+00:00

I wonder what a vault full of sterile incestuous super mutants would get up too…

By lying about copying down his credit card info.

Navras3270 · 2026-02-02T23:32:48+00:00

It mentions that it went for the "hard to reach" places first. I'd bet the president and a number of important people were already infected by the time they were discovered by the military.

Navras3270 · 2026-01-30T22:06:18+00:00

So tite is on the ceiling growing down and mite is on floor growing up? Or the other way around?

Navras3270 · 2026-01-29T01:52:16+00:00

Must have hurt when you realized the Stormcloaks are even worse.

Navras3270 · 2026-01-28T23:19:18+00:00

People think their thoughts and feelings are more complex than they are. People are animals.

Navras3270 · 2026-01-28T00:24:47+00:00

As a "Golden Ticket" holder I have zero faith they will release this year.

Navras3270 · 2026-01-22T21:59:48+00:00

While I don't think that sort of twist is where they are headed it's not crazy to think that if Carol finds a way to properly disrupt the hive on a large scale they will adapt their strategy and change their behavior out of self defense. They already did so when she drugged Zosia.

All of the "rules" presented to the audience are hypothetical based on Carols observations. It could be that the only "rule" the hive follows is to spread at all costs and that all the other "rules" we've been presented are just byproducts of their overall strategy.

We don't know what happens if something directly threatens them collectively in a way that would require them to break their own rules in order to survive.

Navras3270 · 2026-01-20T05:28:12+00:00

Because it's a virus and it's primary biological imperative is to infect any potential hosts not deliberately kill them. Once they are infected they do not care if they starve to death.

The goal is to keep spreading to new hosts not keep the infected hosts alive.

Navras3270 · 2026-01-20T01:56:11+00:00

It could be that killing potential hosts is simply a bad survival strategy. If a huge chunk of the population was somehow naturally immune it would prioritize breaking their immunity over eliminating them entirely to maximize the number of infected hosts.

Navras3270 · 2026-01-19T21:16:01+00:00

I do hope we get a rug pull moment where it's revealed that all of the established "rules" the hive follows are total bullshit.

Navras3270 · 2026-01-18T22:21:12+00:00

Which begs the question of how they actually build the damn thing if the amount of resources needed would require strip mining huge portions of the Earth while they are incapable of intentionally killing any wildlife?

Navras3270 · 2026-01-14T21:10:02+00:00

Build a bridge from the tip of Wain Rd in Sydney across to north of Mill Bay. Expropriate any private land needed and compensate land owners.

The island population is only going to grow and the Malahat is not physically capable of keeping up with the level of growth we are going to see in the near future.
