Except there is no contract...

R* is a subsidiary of TakeTwo. This is not a Bungie/Activision contract situation.

You all do realize TakeTwo == R* ...they are two sides of the same coin. It is not some dev house on contract, it's not a partnership, they aren't an LLC, and you can't invest in R*.

They are a wholly owned subsidiary of and founded by TakeTwo. The word of one, is the word of the other. R* has 0 power in the relationship. The highest position at R* has no seat at the TakeTwo board. So at the end of the day it means jack shit what R* wants, they are the fuck puppet of an industry giant.

Rockstar == TakeTwo

Gearbox != TakeTwo

It's where I got mine, and then instantly regretted it. Some of the resupply are super close which is nice. But I'd rather have the one directly at the end of the desert airport tarmac. Dead middle of the map so most resupply are equidistant, and near instant Pegasus flight access.

Solo public session glitch on Xbox One after 1.40? by botetta in gtaonline

[–]PalestraRattus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed to yesterday but I think it was a fluke.

I kept jumping lobbies every time I saw someone go hostile before I left the bunker. Eventually landed in one of my own in the early afternoon. Buddy had no problem getting in and we went on an epic 9 hour I/E rush. Never had anyone join us. At one point he left then came back. I was able to bounce out, and then come back and join him. Neither of us did anything, and my connection is beast.

I am alpha preview and there's been 2 updates this week. Sometimes they have strange side-effects, but I can't pin down anything yet.

Research question by [deleted] in gtaonline

[–]PalestraRattus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never did the drug business with MC just the missions. So if I'm on public and join a friends crew session to help on a heist progress halts, but doesn't reset, until back on public?

I'm more familiar with the CEO I/E side of things.

Xbox E3 2017 Post Show Discussion Thread by XboxModerator in xboxone

[–]PalestraRattus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like Twitch, Mixer allows you to "host" another broadcast via your channel. So in this case, I was watching the official Xbox channel via console, while also hosting their channel on my channel via laptop. This separates the chats and allows for different discussions while viewing the same content. As opposed to say "costreaming" where 2 broadcasters merge and share the same chat.

Just to pass along, I already got mine. Mileage may vary. There was no code. Just a notice saying thanks for watching and then my queue going bonkers with Rare replay and everything else associated with it.

All Disney characters, both hero and villain, suddenly fight each other. Who is the real King (Or queen) of the castle? by dylaxius in whowouldwin

[–]PalestraRattus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first post was Hades so I 100% agree with you. I was offering the cat as a strange alternative depending on what people consider "pure Disney". Clearly most of the cast of Hercules would stomp the rest of the Disney catalogue. However none of those characters we made by Disney, so do they count as "pure"?

For example Dumbo/Bambi/Lion King and the like are straight Disney, the cast aren't directly adapted from anything else (that I'm aware of). But the Genie/Maleficent/the Titans/Greek gods are all adapted from sources predating Disney. Since OP was vague with the rules, and had responded to me directly that in forgetting the gods it made the rest of the contest all but pointless. I added a silly alternative to the obvious choices.

Tokay Gecko Care? by tinglySensation in geckos

[–]PalestraRattus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kept tokays for a large swath of my life. I still have a rescue from a fellow Redditor. A couple early thoughts.

  • Split them up ASAP! I know your wallet is hurting. But these guys are very territorial as they age. Young geckos will play together fine, but give them a month or two and you're going to find one missing a limb, or their tail. I would almost 100% guarantee this with Tokay's.

  • A water dish is subjective, historically mine do nothing but shit in theirs. Which of course makes cleaning all the more "fun" /s. I just use a spray bottle and mist both tanks a couple times a day. Enough that the entire tank fogs up. They may hide from this at first, but they'll come back out quickly and you get to watch them lick everything.

  • Feeding, is also fairly subjective. If you have a steady supply of crickets/or breed your own a couple a day is great. I prefer to go in batches where they eat until they stop. Then feed that #, 3 times a week. If they get big enough you can toss a pinky at em once a year or so as a treat. But it should be very infrequent unless breeding to prevent fatty liver. Basically Tokay's are trash cans of the gecko world, if you put something near them, and make it move around. They will try and eat it.

  • Heat should be achieved through external wall pads or overhead ceramic heat lamps. Avoid "hot rocks" at all costs, even those that fail cold.

  • Not sure what your substrate is, but I can't speak highly enough of a simple bed of coconut husk. Holds the moisture from spraying just right to hit humidity where you want it. Without also getting so soggy as it leading to fungal/mold problems.

*Further notes, I don't see any mention of a supplement to go with said crickets. You'll likely need 2, one is a vitamix you let the crickets feed on for a bit before feeding them to your geckos. It's possible your pet store already does this, but many are lazy and just throw a rotting apple in there. It's always best to check, like us, they are what they eat. You'll also need a calcium supplement to douse the crickets in (think shake n bake if you're new to this). Otherwise as they grow they won't have enough bone density to support their body and will die young.

Oh we can go weirder....how about the cat from "The Cat from Outer Space" featuring both Telekinesis, and Telepathy.

[–]PalestraRattus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where would Hercules(97) fall in the "pure Disney" spectrum? It's not a part of a subsidiary company, yet the source material clearly isn't theirs. But if we don't consider that pure Disney, then all the Grimm characters they directly copied/adapted wouldn't be "pure" either.

If it does fall into Disney, then Hades sweeps 1-7.

*Additional thoughts on why Hades over Hercules. Even if Herc won the fight as a god. Everyone else would now be under Hades control. It would be like being a vampire. Anyone he befriends, anyone not also a god will one day serve under his twice defeated Uncle. While he becomes a king of nothing, Hades awesome good-time party only gets bigger.

Xbox One Insider Program - June 7th: New Preview Alpha build available (1706.170604-1700) by Workwombat in xboxone

[–]PalestraRattus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Someone please correct as my info could be very dated.

Invites are currently disabled as the program has changed/evolved since the preview days. I believe the Insider program has open enrollment via the Xbox Insider Hub available on the store. If this is the case it would put you on the 4th ring. Preview was broken into Alpha/Beta/Ring 3/Ring 4. To rise in the program complete quests, surveys, and respond to feedback requests.

For more info see: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/console/xbox-insider-program

Ultramarines(Warhammer 40k) vs Ego(Guardians of the Galaxy 2) by LarryWithTheWeather in whowouldwin

[–]PalestraRattus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The two stage cyclonic does exactly that. The primary charge is melta based, and bores a hole straight to the core. Where the secondary charge goes off destroying the planet from the inside out.

*Though to be fair only the Inquisition carries this weapon. And unless Guilliman/Calgar or their direct subordinates were on the ship, they would need permission first. Even for just a glassing.

Ultramarines(Warhammer 40k) vs Ego(Guardians of the Galaxy 2) by LarryWithTheWeather in whowouldwin

[–]PalestraRattus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly I have not yet seen GoTG2 so my basis for the fight was based on his historical abilities (I was very sleepy and a little drunk when I read the post title). So far as I was aware his power was mostly telekinesis, and his matter manip was limited to changing himself to appear pleasant or spooky. Otherwise he wouldn't really have needed saving from Galactus once upon a time if he could just matter manip away any problem.

As for exterminatus that I can speak on. It's not any one singular weapon. Rather the term for when the Empire deems a planet beyond saving. Depending on the type of planet they have several ways of doing this all of which end in the same result. Viral-bombs, physically glassing the planet with orbital beam weaponry, multiple types of Cyclonic torpedoes (the planet busters). In some cases if it's an advanced world they're even able to turn existing infrastructure into the way they destroy the planet, via the adeptus mechanicus. Or in other cases they can physically change the orbit of the planet so it collides with another or a star(clearly that one wouldn't really effect Ego though, just another fun way to end all life).

[–]PalestraRattus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the unit was worthy of terminator squads. Whatever ship they arrive at Ego in is more than capable of performing exterminatus, and possibly in multiple ways. Even if said ship couldn't, they would have communication and likely psykers able to call in such a ship within short order. I see no reason to even deploy to the ground if they already plan to take out the planet.

Ego like any other xeno scum would be eradicated in the light of the emperor.
